2015年中考(杭州卷)英語聽力真題 短文

I live in a house in Bristol with two other students.

我和另外兩個學生一起住在布里斯托的一所房子里。The university doesn't have rooms for all its students.大學不給每個學生提供住宿。So, every summer, there are a lot of us looking for flats and houses in the city.所以，每年夏天，我們中的很多人都在城市里找公寓和房子。My friend Kate and I found the house, but the price was quite high.我的朋友凱特和我找到了這個房子，但是房價很高。So we had to find a housemate to share with.所以我們不得不再找一個室友來分擔。We put an ad in one of the student magazines and got lots of answers.我們在其中一本學生雜志上刊登了一則廣告，收到了很多回復。We chose to live with Melony, a third year medical student.我們選擇了梅洛妮，她是一個大三的醫(yī)學生。The house has only got two bedrooms upstairs.房子里只有樓上有兩個臥室。So we changed the dining room into another bedroom for Melony.所以我們把客廳改成了另一間臥室，給梅洛妮住。The owner didn't mind, and luckily, the kitchen is big enough to eat in.房東對此不介意，而且幸運的是，廚房足夠大，可以在家里吃。We all have lunch in the university and we share the cooking in the evenings.我們都在學校吃午餐，晚餐我們輪流做飯。I usually do it on Tuesdays and Fridays.通常我在星期二和星期五做飯。There is only one bathroom, which is quite a problem, as Kate spends a long time in there in the morning.房子里只有一間浴室，這是個問題，因為凱特每天早上在里面花的時間很長。The house has got a small garden, but none of us likes gardening.房子帶有一個小花園，但是我們都不喜歡園藝。So, I'm afraid it's a bit of a mess.所以，恐怕有點亂。Next year, Kate, Melony and I are going to stay together.明年，凱特、梅洛妮和我還要住在一起。We might look for a house a bit bigger and a bit nearer the university.我們可能會找一個更大一點、離學校更近一點的房子。
