42、个房间的公寓。男士回答如果价格可以接受的话他们希望有四个房间，剩下那个房间可以用来给朋友留宿诸如此类的。因此选 C。 A“用来做客厅 ”和 D“还有一个朋友要合租 ”均未在对话中提及。 B“用来储存一些东西 ”利用原文的 stuff做干扰，原文中的 and stuff是 “等等；诸如此类 ”的意思。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 女士问男士对哪个地段的房子比较感兴趣，对 Phil来说，西区的房子比较好，因此本题选 B。 男士表示自己和 Chris最倾向于市中心 的房子，而不是 Phil，因此 A错误。同时男士也提到，他们都对北区或是东区的房子不感兴趣，故同时排除 C
