听力材料

WOMAN:Good morning. How can I help you?

MAN:Hello.I'm interested in renting a house somewhere in the town.

WOMAN: Right. Could I have your name please?

MAN:Yes, it's Steven Godfrey.

WOMAN:And tell me how many bedrooms you're looking for.

MAN:Well, we'd need four, because I'm going to share the house with three friends.

WOMAN:Okay, there are several of that size on our books. They mostly belong to families who are working abroad at the moment. What about the location?

MAN:It'd be nice to be central . 【1】

WOMAN:That might be difficult, as most houses of that size are in the suburbs. Still , there are a few . What's your upper limit for the rent ?

MAN:We'd like something around f500 a month, but we could go up to £600 if we have to . But we can't go beyond that .【2】

WOMAN :Do you know how long you want to rent the house for ? The minimum let is six months, as you probably realise.

MAN:We're at college here for two years, and we don't want to have to move during that time if we can avoid it.  【3】

WOMAN:Right. And how soon do you want to move in? All our lets start on the first of the month.MAN:Well, as soon as possible, really, so that means September 1st.

 

答案：

Question 1 central

WOMAN:...what about the location?

MAN: It'd be nice to be central.

 

location是问地点，是本题的信号词，据此可知答案可能就在答句中。nice与题干中的preferred可进行同又替换，确定后面的central为答案。

 

Question 2 600

WOMAN：... what's your upper limit for the rent ?

MAN:We'd like something around £600 if we have to. But we can't go beyond that.

 

upper limit与题干中的maximum为同义替换，也是本题的关键定位词， 注意听后面的内容。连词But表示转折，引出can't go beyond表示“不能超过……”进一步强调了前面的金额数是最大值，所以确定答案是600。

 

Question 3 two years

 

WOMAN:Do you know how long you want to rent the house for? The minimum let is six months, as you probably realize.

MAN:We're at college here for two years, and we don't want to have to move during that time if we can avoid it.

 

how long 问是租房时长，是本题的信号词。 the minimum let与题干length of let required对应，为本题的关键信息，同时后面出现的six months可能成为干扰项。通过关键信息at college here和don't want to have to move得知他们要在大学待两年，且他们没有搬家的打算，故本题答案为two years。
