3.University accommodation(住所) office
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东).Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have'a problem.The disadvantage is that they are 
Property papers:Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters.The offers are from private landlords,agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters.They also have a website:www.loot.com.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper.The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.Their website is at www.Renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies.The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted.These will either be from landlords or from students.Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students.Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find  accommodation.However,advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.However,don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily,going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London,some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative.In some cases this might be a good choice.
Below is a housing guide for students going to London.

45.What is the advantage of using Loot?D
A.It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.

分析 本文为去伦敦的学生选择住宿提供了建议.他们可以选择学校提供的住宿,有麻烦时可以得到帮助;亦可选择Loot来租住房子;还可以通过租房住宿中介,他们会给你提供一些可租住的房子;还可选择广告牌和听熟人口头介绍的房子.另外一些学生和他们的父母也可以在伦敦买房子来住.

解答 45.D 细节理解题.根据第二部分第四句"The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains."可知使用Loot的好处是提供一些租价低廉的房屋的信息.
46.C 细节理解题.根据第三部分第三句"A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation."可知一个好的中介能够帮助你快速地找到合适的住宿的地方.故选C.
47.B 细节理解题.根据第五部分第一句"Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth."可知,口头传递的信息是非常重要的,因为它可以帮助你找到一些从来没有广告的最好的住房,故选B.
48.A 推理判断题.根据第一段的The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem.可知大学提供的住宿如果有问题可以得到帮助,因此它是比较有保障的住宿,因此第一次去伦敦的学生还是选择这种住宿,因为安全,有帮助.故选A.

点评 本文是广告布告类阅读.阅读这类文章时,要在整体把握文章结构的前提下,主要注意细节信息.一定要找到题干在原文中的出处,再把原文和选项相比较.做题时,根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果.
