【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Hi, I heard you're looking for a different apartment. W: Yeah, the place I'm in now is a real dump. M: It was OK when I was there. W: Oh. {{U}}The steam generator keeps breaking and when it does, we lose the heat for several days at the time{{/U}}. 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: {{U}}If I give two-month notice, I can get the whole thing back{{/U}}. M: So what kind of place are you looking for? W: I think I'll try to get into one of those high rises near the university. There's nothing really special but {{U}}at least they are new and functional{{/U}}. 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: Don't worry. You'll find one soon. [解析] 推断题。The steam generator keeps breaking...说明蒸汽锅炉经常罢工，供暖不好，故答案为B。
