【答案解析】[听力原文] Suicide bombers have stormed Britain's cultural center in the Afghan capital Friday, triggering hours of fighting that killed at least nine people. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault, which took place as Afghanistan celebrated the 92nd anniversary of the country's independence from Britain. According to the British Foreign Office, all the British nationals were unharmed. The sound of gunfire and ambulances filled the morning air in Kabul Friday as a group of attackers rushed the British-staffed building in the Afghan capital. During the nearly 10-year-old war in Afghanistan, Kabul, has avoided much of the violence that the rest of the country has endured. But this summer has seen the Taliban strike the Afghan capital. In June, a group of suicide bombers and gunmen launched a deadly attack on the luxury Inter-Continental Hotel. British authorities say that British nationals took refuge in a "safe room" inside the building as troops repelled the attackers. British Ambassador to Afghanistan William Patey said that what he called a "wretchedly, cowardly attack designed to attack British interests" had instead caused the deaths of many Afghans.
