  • 第2题：

    根据下列内容，回答211-215题。
    A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy．Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house，so they have to borrow money from a bank．Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”．The bank usually lends money or gives a me．gage for twenty—five years．Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50，000．In other words，they will have a$50，000 mortgage．
    How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like．you go to a bank．The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk．They will want to know what kind of job you have，what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job．
    They will a]so want to know how much money you have．In addition．the banks will require a down payment．Depending Oil which state you live in，the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment．The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
    down payment．
    What does a house mean in the United States．? __________

    A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
    B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
    C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
    D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank

    答案：C
    解析：
    从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知，房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性，与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化，并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。

    正确答案： A
    解析：
    细节题。录音中女士说申请时需要接受房主面试并携带三份介绍信。故选B。
    【录音原文】
    M: I really don’t know what to do this summer. I can’t afford to just sit around, and there doesn’t seem to be any job available.
    W: Why don’t you try house-sitting? Last summer my friend Margaret house-sat for the Dodds when they went away on vacation. Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty.
    M: You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house?
    W: It wasn’t that easy. She had to cut the grass and water the houseplants. And when Eric house-sat for Dr. Cohen, he had to take care of her pets.
    M: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it’s a little like baby-sitting—except you are taking care of a house instead of children.
    W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.
    M: Do I just have to fill out an application?
    W: Margaret and Eric had to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.
    M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
    W: Well, the homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitter. You know, they want to make sure you’re not the type who throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.
    M: House-sitters who do that sort of thing probably won’t get paid then.
    W: Usually they’re paid anyway just because the homeowners don’t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the house-sitter wouldn’t be able to get another job. So will you apply?
    M: Yeah, I think I will.
    Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    1. What does the man want to do this summer?
    2. Which of the following is NOT one of the house sitter’s responsibilities?
    3. How do homeowners determine the reliability of a house-sitter?
