【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: How is your house hunting going? M: Not very well. I haven't found anything within my price range yet. W: How much do you want to spend? M: I can only afford about ￡300 a month. W: Looks like you're not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that. M: Really? That's a lot of money to pay for one room. Do you know anyone who needs a roommate? W: Well, if you want to live in London, you have to pay the price! I can ask around at work. Do you have a preference for smokers or non-smokers? M: I'd prefer non-smoking roommates, but I guess I'll have to take what I can get! W: How long do you want to sign a contract for? M: I can sign a contract up to a year. I don't know where I'll be after that. W: Do you need a furnished or unfurnished apartment? M: I don't have any furniture, so it would be great if it were furnished. W: You know that you'll have to pay utilities on top of the rent, right? M: No, I thought that would be included in the rent. W: It's not usually included, so you'll have to factor in about ￡100 more each month for utilities. M: I don't think I can afford that. W: Don't worry. Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the cleaning or take care of the lawn. M: That's a good idea. I'll look into finding something like that.
