【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] 21-22 [21]Restoring New Orleans is a process that often proceeds in small steps and part of what needs to be re- stored is the spirit of a wounded city. That is why Hampton hotels, through the company's "Save A Landmark" program, has donated $20,000 to support citizen efforts to restore the wooden carousel in City Park. The carousel, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, was partly submerged in floodwaters last August and some of the wooden figures on the lower part were damaged. An expert in restoration of such material is now working with volunteers [22]to reclaim the 54 painted wooden animals, half of which are fixed to the rotating platform and half of which are flyers, which go up and down on a pole as the carousel turns. [解析] 新闻提到，修复被洪水破坏的新奥尔良是一个缓慢的过程，其中包括修复一些能代表城市精神的东西，这就是为什么Hampton hotels捐赠2万美元用于支持市民们修复城市公园里的木马。故正确答案为B。 [点睛] 干扰项A“celebrates its 100th anniversary this year"在文中出现，但比指的是carousel(木马)而不是hotel(酒店)。听音时应特别注意代词上下文的指代关系。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 新闻提到，一位修复专家正和一群志愿者一道在修复54只着了色的木制动物，木制动物有一半被固定在旋转平台上。54的一半即27。故正确答案为C。 [点睛] 此题是数字题，听音时应注意表示数字的关键词half。
