W: Hello.
M: Hi. I’m calling about the ad for the apartment found in today’s newspaper.
W: Okay. What would you like to know?
M: First of all, how big is it?
W: [1]It’s a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, dining room and kitchen, and one bathroom. There’s also a place for a washer and dryer.
M: Okay, and how old is the apartment complex?
W: Well, let’s just say it has a lot of history. To be honest, my great grandfather built it during the 1960s, but it’s a very sturdy and sound structure.
M: Oh, and is the apartment furnished at all?
W: Yeah. [1]The apartment is partially furnished with a refrigerator, a stove, and a dishwasher.
M: Okay. What’s the rent?
W: It’s $650 a month.
W: Wow. That is a little steep for me.
M: But you could always split the cost with a roommate.
M: Perhaps. Well, can I rent month-to-month, or do I have to sign a lease for a longer period of time?
W: [2]We require a 6-month commitment for the apartment, and if you cancel the agreement anytime during that period, you lose your deposit.
M: Oh, and how much is the deposit?
W: It’s $400, and, of course, [3]this money is used to repair damage or general wear and tear on our apartment, like the leaks in the roof.
M: Do I get my deposit back after I move out?
W: Generally speaking, we return the deposit, minus a small fee for, you know, cleaning the apartment for the next tenant, [4]but if you trash the place, then don’t expect to get anything back.
M: Okay. Um... how close is the apartment to the university campus?
W: It’s about eight blocks from campus, but you can catch a number of busses right out in front.
M: Okay, and one last question. Are pets allowed?
W: Well, you can keep small pets like a hamster in a small cage, but we don’t allow larger animals like dogs, cats, or snakes. Things like that.
M: Well, I have a rat that I keep in a cage. Will that be okay?
W: Well, as long as it doesn’t escape, I guess that’s okay.
M: Is it possible for me to drop by and visit the apartment tomorrow morning?
W: [5]Sure, but just remember we rent the apartment on a first-come, first-serve basis, so there’s no guarantee it’ll still be available then.
M: Okay. Thanks. Um... and where exactly is the apartment located?
W: It’s one block west of the waste water treatment plant. Call me again when you arrive.
M: Alright, Thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye.
W: Bye.
1. What kind of apartment does the man enquire about?
2. What should the man do if he rents the woman’s apartment?
3. What is the deposit for according to the woman?
4. In what condition will the man lose his deposit?
5. Whom will the woman rent the apartment to?

选项 A、Sign the lease for a very long period.
B、Pay one month’s rent deposit in advance.
C、Rent the room for at least 6 months.
D、Pay the rent month to month.

答案 C

解析 ①对话中,男士问房东是否可以逐月租房时,房东回答说需要承诺至少租房6个月,因此C项为正确答案。②A项“应该签订很长时间的租赁合同”夸大其词,与原文中的“最低6个月”不相符。录音提到房租为每月650美元,而押金则为400美元,所以B项“应该提前付一个月的租房押金”也不对。D项“男士应逐月交租金”与对话内容不符,也不正确。
