W: Hello, Brindall’s Estate Agents here. How may I help you?
M: Oh, good morning, I’m ringing to see what flats you have for rent at the moment.
W: Right. Are you looking for a flat for yourself or a family perhaps?
M: Well, it’s for three of us-- myself and two friends. We’re going to share together.
W: I see, what about employment-- are you all students?
M: Oh no, we’ve all got full-time jobs-- two of work in the Central Bank, that’s Chris and me and Phil that’s the other one is working for Hallam cars.
W: I suppose you’ll be looking for somewhere with three bedrooms?
M: Yeah, at least three. But actually, we’d rather have a fourth room as well if we can afford it-- for friends staying over and stuff.
W: Is that with a living room to share? Plus kitchen and bathroom?
M: Yeah, that sounds good. But we must have a bathroom with a shower.
W: OK. And, are you interested in any particular area?
M: Well, the city centre would be good for me and Chris, so that’s our first preference, but we’d consider anything in the west suburbs as well really-- actually for Phil that’d be better, but he knows he’s outnumbered! But we aren’t interested in the north or the east of the city.
W: OK. I’m afraid there are only two that might interest you. Do you want the details?
M: OK.
W: This first one I’m looking at is in Bridge Street-- and very close to the bus station. It’s not often that flats in that area come up for rent. This one’s got three bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen, of course and a very big living room.
M: So, what about the rent? How much is it a month?
W: The good news is that it’s only 450 pounds a month. Rents in that area usually reach up to 650 a month.
M: Yeah, it sounds like a bit of a bargain.
W: But unfortunately there isn’t a shower in the flat, and that location is likely to be noisy, of course.
M: OK. What about the other place?
W: Well, this one is in a really nice location-- on Hills Avenue. I’m sure you know it. It’s got four big bedrooms and there’s a big living room and oh, a dining room.
M: It sounds great!
W: That whole area’s being developed, and the flat’s modern. It got good facilities, including your shower. And of course it’s going to be quiet, especially compared with the other place.
M: Better and better, but I’ll bet it’s expensive.
W: I’m afraid so. They’re asking for 800 pounds a month for it.
M: Wow, it sounds a lot more than we can afford.
W: Well, I can send you all the details and you can see whether these two are worth a visit.

B、To look for a house for himself or his family.
C、To share a flat with two of his friends.

答案D

解析 ①对话都是不定式短语,预测问题可能与目的或原因有关。②男士首先就说明打电话是为了问女士这里有什么可供出租的公寓,然后提到他和两个朋友一起合租一个公寓。故D项为正确答案。③A“弄明白女士租的什么公寓”利用原文的to see what flats做干扰,不正确。B“寻找供他自己或家人居住的房子”是女士问男士的话,但是男士解释说是为他和两个朋友找房子。C“与两个朋友合租公寓”是男士对女士提问的回答,并不是打电话的原因。
