## 题目原文

00:00:00,260 
 Part one. You will hear a student calling a landlord to rent a house. First, you have some time to look at questions one to six. 
 00:00:42,820 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 
 00:00:50,540 
 Hello? 
 00:00:51,320 
 Oh, hello. I wanted to inquire about the house you're going to let out. Is it still available? 
 00:00:56,520 
 Yes. May I ask where you heard about it? Was it in an advert? 
 00:01:00,380 
 Right. It was. 
 00:01:02,040 
 Okay. What do you want to know? 
 00:01:03,640 
 Well, I'm going to share the house with two friends. We've been staying on campus, but we're going to graduate, so we need to find a house as soon as possible. Anyway, could you tell me the exact date when you can move in? 
 00:01:15,820 
 Well, the contract with my current tenant is due next week on May 3rd, and I need a day to clean and check the things in the house. So I think the house will be ready on the 5th of May. Is that okay? 
 00:01:27,340 
 Yes, that will be fine. And what we're most concerned about is the rent. We'd like something around 500 dollars a month for each of us, but we could go up to 600 dollars if we have to, but we can't go beyond that. 
 00:01:40,560 
 You are lucky. The rent will be 1700 dollars in total, which is within your budget. You'll need to pay monthly to me by cash or credit card. I don't mind. And you'll have to pay me 1500 dollars as a deposit before you move in. The deposit is as insurance in case you break something. 
 00:01:57,760 
 Okay, that's reasonable. 
 00:01:59,220 
 Oh, I nearly forgot. One important thing is that you'll be required to provide a credit check to guarantee your ability to pay the rent every month. This will charge you 15 dollars. 
 00:02:09,560 
 No problem. How about the facilities? 
 00:02:12,500 
 First, there are three bedrooms combined with two bathrooms. Then there is a shared kitchen, which was refurbished several months ago. By the way, do you cook yourselves? 
 00:02:22,880 
 Yeah, we like cooking. Do we have to buy our own cookers? 
 00:02:26,300 
 Basic facilities for cooking are available, but if you want a dishwasher, I'm sorry, it needs to be added later. 
 00:02:32,720 
 I think the basic facilities are enough for us. Is there any place we can park, as one of my friends has a private car? 
 00:02:39,640 
 Yes. There is a garage which not only provides space for your car, but also has a special section where you can do some of your work. It's very quiet for you to concentrate. 
 00:02:49,100 
 It sounds so special. 
 00:02:52,340 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten. 
 00:03:21,100 
 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 
 00:03:27,960 
 There are some other utilities I have to tell you. There is a garden in front of the house in which you will find some interesting plants and beautiful flowers. 
 00:03:35,840 
 Do we have to take care of these plants and flowers? 
 00:03:38,700 
 Well, you don't have to worry about that. There will be a professional gardener to do the landscaping in the garden regularly. But you do need to help water the grass once a week. Is it a problem for you? 
 00:03:49,680 
 Of course not. We'd like to do that. 
 00:03:52,120 
 Another thing is, in this district, every household is arranged with a cleaner responsible for cleaning up the rubbish and recycling. But this service will cost you fifteen dollars every month. 
 00:04:03,040 
 What other bills do we have to pay? 
 00:04:05,020 
 Bills for electricity, water and gas will also be covered by yourselves. 
 00:04:10,180 
 Okay. One more question. Is air conditioning available in the house? 
 00:04:14,520 
 If you mean central air conditioning, I'm afraid there isn't at the moment, but each room has a conditioning unit which is installed on the window. 
 00:04:23,400 
 That will be fine. Anyway, I think it's a good place to live in. Can we go and see the house, please? 
 00:04:28,720 
 Yes, of course. 
 00:04:30,100 
 May I have your name and phone number? 
 00:04:32,360 
 Yes, I'm Sam Dressler. That's S-A-M D-R-E-S-S-L-E-R. 
 00:04:41,920 
 Okay. Sam Dressler. I've got that down. 
 00:04:46,000 
 And my phone number is 67534571. 
 00:04:51,860 
 Thank you very much. I'll contact you after discussing it with my two friends. 
 00:04:56,120 
 No problem. Bye. 
 00:04:57,600 
 Bye. 
 00:05:01,040 
 That is the end of part one. You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
