单选题 What is wrong with the woman's current apartment?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] 17-20
M: Hi, I heard you're looking for a different apartment.
W: Yeah. The place I'm in now is really terrible.
M: It was OK when I was there.
W: The boiler keeps breaking and when it does, we lose the heat for several days at the time.
M: Why doesn't the owner replace it?
W: Well, she said it's cheaper to keep fixing it. She is a nice enough person, just sort of stingy in any case. I'm sick of being cold.
M: Can you get your deposit back if you move?
W: If I give one-month notice, I can get the whole thing back.
M: So what kind of place are you looking for?
W: I think I'll try to get into one of those highrises near the university. There is nothing really special but at least they are new and functional.
M: I heard those buildings are pretty noisy. The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the other apartment.
W: Oh. That will never do. I need some place quiet to finish my thesis. I guess I'll have to look at some more ads. Maybe new isn't necessarily better.
M: Why don't you try some of those apartment at Windsor? They're supposed to be nice.
W: Oh, aren't they awfully expensive?
M: Not really. You'll he surprised at how reasonable some of them are. The problem with being out there is the bus doesn't run that way.
W: That definitely won't be a problem. I can afford a car right now. I guess I'd better check a few places here in the city before I make a decision.
