27、) 9 【正确答案】 Mary-Anne Reece 10 【正确答案】 ABC Stocks 11 【听力原文】 Presenter: Good afternoon, everyone. Im here to give you a talk on tenancy agreements and other legalities. If you rent a fiat or a house, or bed-sit, you will have a tenancy agreement or lease. This is a written legal Q11 agreement between y
28、ou, the tenant, and the property owner, the landlord. Tenancy agreements should normally contain information about the amount of rent, the length of the tenancy and what rights you and your landlord will have under the law. In most cases, you will have an assured short-hold tenancy which means that
29、your landlord cannot ask you to leave without a good reason during the first six months. Although these rights offer you Q12 some protection, it is still your responsibility to check the tenancy agreement thoroughly and make sure you agree with the terms. Do not sign the tenancy agreement if you do
30、not know what all of it means. If you do not fully understand your fights, show your tenancy agreement to an adviser in the accommodation office or student welfare office at your university or college and ask for help. You can also get help from a housing advice centre, law centre or Citizens Advice
31、 Bureau. When you do sign the tenancy agreement, make sure you get a copy to keep for yourself, in case you need to check any Q13 details later on. The landlord may also ask you to sign an inventory: a list of all the items in the property pieces of furniture, kitchen items, etc. If so, Q14 make sur
32、e you get a copy of this as well. Check that it is correct and that any existing damage to these items is included before signing it. If your landlord does not provide an inventory, you should make one yourself and send a copy to the landlord. Lets take a look at payments. Before you move into priva
33、te accommodation, you will probably be asked to pay a deposit equivalent to one months rent. Make sure you get a receipt for any deposit or fees Q15 you have paid. When you leave the accommodation, if you have paid all Q16/17 your bills and caused no damage to the property, your full deposit will be
34、 paid back to you. If you are renting through an accommodation agency, you may also be asked to pay fees for preparing tenancy agreements and administration. You should also keep a written record of all the rent payments that you make, as you make them. If you have a dispute with your landlord, or y
35、ou get behind with your rent, you should get advice as soon as possible. Remember that if you live in the same building as your landlord, or you have a room in a student or youth hostel, or university/college accommodation, then this will affect how secure your tenancy will be. If you do not share a
36、ny living space with the landlord or a member of their family, apart from means of access like an entrance hall or a staircase, or are a student living in halls of residence, or any other type of accommodation where an educational institution is the landlord, you will have basic protection from evic
37、tion. Your landlord will have to end your tenancy first, either by waiting for the Q18/19/20 end of the fixed term you agreed for the tenancy or by giving you at least Q18/19/20 four weeks written notice in writing to quit or through getting a court order, Q18/19/20 before you have to leave. If you
38、share living space for example, a kitchen, living room or bathroom with your landlord or are in a student or youth hostel, you will be what is termed an excluded tenant, which means that you are outside the protection of the UK law which regulates tenancies and will not have security of tenure. All
39、the landlord has to do to evict you is to give you notice, although they must give you a reasonable amount of time in which to leave. If you have problems with accommodation, contact the accommodation office or students union at your university or college. If you need specialist or legal help, conta
40、ct a law centre in your local Citizens Advice Bureau who will be able to tell you your rights as a tenant and the rights of your landlord. 11 【正确答案】 written legal agreement 12 【正确答案】 first six months 13 【正确答案】 copy 14 【正确答案】 An inventory 15 【正确答案】 B 16 【正确答案】 D 17 【正确答案】 E 18 【正确答案】 D 19 【正确答案】 F 20
41、 【正确答案】 G 21 【听力原文】 Professor: Good morning, Klara. Take a seat. Right, Ive read your first draft of your project on housing. Well done. Klara: Thank you. I know its only a first draft though, so Im sure you have some suggestions on how it can be improved. I was very nervous at first, because it was
42、nt my first choice of topic. I had wanted to do something on voting patterns, but getting Q21 information . well, it didnt look possible within the timeframe. Professor: Dont worry. I think that you have made a good choice. Yes, a comparison of the factors influencing housing prices. Very topical! K
43、lara: Definitely! There seems to be something about housing prices in Q22 the newspapers every day. I just wanted to compare the different factors you know, location, the proximity of facilities such as schools . Q23 Professor: As I said, a good choice of topic. Now, the first part is very welldone.
44、 You clearly introduce what you are going to look at, why and how. Klara: Do you think that I have covered enough points there? Professor: I think so. Did you have anything else in mind you know, something else youd like to cover? Klara: Well, a friend suggested that I might include crime rates. Q24
45、 Professor: Actually, thats a very good idea. You might consider it. It is something that many people take into account consciously or otherwise, when choosing a place to live. Nowadays, the police are required to keep quite detailed statistics on crime and you can Q25 get them fairly easily. I mean
46、, its easy enough to ask for them, but it might take a while for the police to get them to you. Klara: OK. Ill make a note of that contact police for crime statistics. Professor: Now, I have to say that I found the middle part more difficult to get through. Klara: Oh! I thought I had done that rathe
47、r well. Professor: Dont worry its not awful. Its just that . well, try to take a uniform approach. Use one for each criteria people use when Q26 choosing housing. That way, youre comparing like with like, rather than different things. Klara: Ah, I see. So, I should stick with one as far as possible.
48、 Yes, that does seem logical. So, I dont really need to get more data or write much more? Instead, I need to change . Ive got it. Professor: It just makes it a lot easier to read thats the main thing. Klara: Yes, of course. How about the conclusion? Professor: Based on the information youve provided, I think that youve done very well. Youll have to see if the new information you include changes your conclusion at all. It probably wont make a big difference, but you might see variations in some areas. Klara: OK. Do you think that I used appropriate
