问题  
W: Have a seat, Mr. Smith. Now, what’s the problem?
M: Well, as I told you on the phone,(19)I’m having a lot of trouble with my landlord.
W: That’s right. But can you explain in detail? What sort of trouble?
M: Well, when I moved in six months ago, he said he was going to fix up two or three things that needed doing.
W: What kind of things exactly?
M: Well, for example, there was no ventilation(通风设备)in the kitchen and the hot water system wasn’t working properly.
W: And did he say he’d have them attended to?
M: Yes, that’s right.(20)He promised to have them done. But now six months have gone by, yet nothing has been done.
W: Um... so he’s broken his promise.
M: Yes, and not only that. Now that the lease has run out,(21)he wants to increase the rent by $ 10 a week!
W: Well,(21)he can’t do that without your agreement, you know.
M: Yes, I know that, but the trouble is that he will evict me if I don’t agree.
W: Yes, that’s true. He can do that. However, eviction is easier said than done. Don’t worry!
M: You mean it could be difficult for him?
W: Yes, he can’t just throw you out on the street. He has to give you reasonable notice in advance, usually a month.
M: So that means I can stay there at least for a month? That makes things easier.
19. What are the two speakers talking about?
20. What can be inferred about the man?
21. What does the landlord need permission for?

选项 A、He will be evicted from the house soon.
B、The problems in his house haven’t been fixed.
C、He has made things difficult for his landlord.
D、He has just bought a hot water system that doesn’t work.

答案 B

解析 推理判断题。男士在对话中提到,房东答应整修房子出现的部分问题,可是6个月过去了,房东什么都没做。由此可以推断,男士房子里的问题没有得到解决。
