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? Oh, and... is the apartment furnished at all?
W: It’s a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, dinning room and kitchen, and one bathroom. There’s also a place for a washer and dryer. The apartment is partially furnished with a refrigerator, a stove, and my grandmother’s old dishwasher.
M: Your grandmother’s old dishwasher? Okay. What’s the rent? Does that include utilities?
W: It’s $950 a month. But you could always split the cost with a roommate. The rent includes gas and electricity, but not the phone bill.
M: Oh, yeah. Well, can I rent month-to-month, or do I have to sign a lease for a longer period of time?
W: We require a 6-month commitment for the apartment, and if you cancel the agreement anytime during that period, hey... you lose your deposit.
M: Oh, and how much is the deposit? Do I get my deposit back after I move out? That’s assuming that I even move in.
W: It’s $ 400, and, of course, this money is used to repair damage or general wear and tear on our apartment, like the leaks in the old roof from last year’s snow storm. Generally speaking, we return the deposit, minus a small fee for, you know, cleaning the apartment for the next tenant, but if you trash the place, then don’t expect to get anything back.
M: Okay. Oh, urn... 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: Oh, so, then, if there’s a busy road out front, is it noisy?
W: Well, there are always trade-offs: it’s a little noisy with the road outside and the airport behind you, but the place is really convenient because there’s a supermarket and shopping center right across the street. Just keep the windows closed and a pair of ear plugs handy, and you’ll be fine.
M: 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: Um, as long as it doesn’t escape, I guess that’s okay.
M: Uh... Is it possible for me to drop by and visit the apartment tomorrow morning?
W: 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.
Questions:
22. Which statement is NOT true about the apartment for rent?
23. Under which circumstance could you lose your deposit according to the conversation?
24. How would you describe the location of the apartment?
25. What kind of pet is a tenant allowed to keep in the apartment?
选项
A、a dog
B、a cat
C、a rat
D、a snake
答案
C
解析
细节题。对话中房东提出公寓里不许养大型动物。如dogs,cats,snakes;想租房子的人说他有只养在笼子里的老鼠,房东同意只要老鼠不跑出来就可以养了,所以正确答案是rat,其他的都是错误的。因此选C。
