答案和解析

听力对话答案

19.[A]

解析：对话开始，女士就提出了对话主题：看男士是否还需要人合租。男士急切地说：“要啊！自从为了上学减少了工作时间以来，我的钱就很紧张了。”故A正确。从选项来看，本题问男士的情形。答题关键是男士说的strapped for cash，它与A中的afford the rent构成紧密的相关性。其他选项就没有这种相关的内容。（口语中，cash即money，be strapped即“身无分文的”。）

20. [A]

解析：女士看到房间里的地毯时说：“看来你该换新地毯了……那些污渍是怎么回事？”可见A正确。soiled意为“污染的，脏的”。

21.[C]

解析：男士说冰箱门坏了，关不紧。“我用两个箱子顶着它使它合得拢。”C正确。由选项知，本题问他是如何“使它关紧”的。关键词包括cardboard，super glue（超级胶水），box，chair。根据这些关键词，“听到什么选什么”。

22.[D]

解析：对话结尾处，女士对该房子已毫无合租兴趣：“我想我已经看够了。真难以相信，你在这样的条件下还能生活！”因此D正确。本题必须根据女士的语气推断。
