问题     You will have no difficulty in making contact with the Agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent’s Negotiator (房地产推销员) —as he is called—will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.
    He will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.
    The printed details he will give you are called " particulars". Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent’s particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.
    Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say "delightfully situated". That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.
    Basically, all that you need to know about a house is: how many bedrooms it has; an indication of their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house; whether it is semi-detached or terraced (联排的) .  
The Estate Agent’s Negotiator will______.

选项 A、want all the details of your financial circumstances
B、want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a house
C、check your financial position with the XYZ Building Society
D、accept any statement you make about your financial position

答案D

解析 细节题。文中第一段的第二句话:The Estate Agent’s Negotiator(房地产推销员)-as he is called—will probably check that you really know your financial position他们很可能是想判断你的经济地位。A项想要你所有的详细的经济情况;B项让你明白你的经济状况可以买房而以此满足他们的期望;C项检查你和某建筑公司的经济地位;都不符题意,因为房地产推销员之所以这么做是想根据你的经济情况来向你推销适当价位的房子。
