2009年12月英語四級考試預(yù)測試題及答案(4)

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations。

　　Conversation One

　　M:You should have seen the line at the housing office. It took me an hour to make my dormitory deposit for next year. Have you made yours yet?

　　W:No, I’m not sure I am going to。

　　M:There is not much time left. The deadline is May 1st. That’s just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash?

　　W:No, I’m okay。

　　M: You’d better hurry up if you want a dorm room next September. There aren’t enough rooms for everyone. And first-year students have priority。

　　W:Well, I’ve been thinking of living off campus。

　　M: Have you any idea how much that will cost? There’s the rent, utilities, and you probably need a car to commute。

　　W:I know it’ll be more expensive, but I think I can handle it, though. This dorm is just so noisy that I can�餿 get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own。

　　M:You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you’ll save。

　　W:I’ve got to think it over some more. There are still two weeks left in April。
