Subject: House
Dear Ms. Richards,
Hello. I saw the flyer about the house at 191 NW Ramona Avenue, and wanted to make an appointment for a private viewing. My husband and I work Monday through Friday so either Saturday or Sunday would work best for us. The house used to belong to my grandparents. The last time I was in the house was about 25 years ago, shortly before my grandparents sold it.
My family and I recently moved back to this area, and are currently renting an apartment that is much too small for us. The house is within our price range, and I know that it's in one of the safest neighborhoods in the city. How long has the house been on the market? Have the owners had any offers for the house? My husband and I will be free this Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening. Would either of those days work for you?
Sincerely,
Bonnie Rawson

单选题 According to the flyer, which part of the house has been renovated recently?
A. The bedroom
B. The garage
C. The system of water pipes
D. The hall
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】初级问题
(第一篇文章)传单上明确提到All new plumbing(全新的管道)，由此可知新近装修的部分是(C)The system of water pipes(水管设施)。只要知道plumbing是“管道”的意思就能够解答这道题，这是再基础不过的题了。
单选题 Accordingto the flyer, which of the following works as an advantage for the buyer?
A. The seller of the house already owns other property.
B. Modern conveniences can be customized.
C. Sarah Richards is working as a retail agent.
D. A guard has been hired.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】初级问题
广告上的这座房子由于“业主购买了另一座房子(Owner's Purchase of another)，要尽快搬出”，由此可推断，卖房子的人已经拥有另外的房产。
单选题 What does the flyer imply?
A. The house may look old, but will be refurbished soon.
B. The rent is good for sharing the house.
C. The property might not be up for sale very long.
D. Viewers will be asked to bring the completed checklist.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】中级问题
广告上虽然说请先看过其他房子，比较过后再回来看这所房子，但条件是“到时候房子还没有卖出”，由此可推知，这所房子很快将会卖掉。故应选(C)项。广告上列举了现代式装修后的特点，因此(A)项不符合原文。而(B)、(C)两项和原文内容无关。
单选题 Why is Ms. Rawson interested in the house?
A. She inherited the house.
B. She can afford to buy it.
C. She used to live in the house with her relatives.
D. She works near the house.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】中级问题
(第二篇文章)罗森女士提到“这所房子的卖价对我们来说很合适(The house is within our price range)”，根据这句话可推断，因为“价位合适(can afford to buy it)”，所以她才对这座房子感兴趣。罗森女士在这里住过和她想买这座房子并没有直接的关系，文中没有提到这点。
单选题 What is Ms. Rawson trying to find out?
A. How much mortgage payments are
B. How many previous owners there have been
C. How long her grandparents owned the house
D. How much competition there is
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】中级问题
(第二篇文章)罗森女士询问打出卖房广告有多久以及房主有没有提供其他事项，由此可推断，她想了解有意买这座房子的人和她“有多少竞争(How much competition there is)”。
