【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] A famous building in New York City is turning 101 years old this year. A celebration is planned for Grand Central Terminal, which is usually called Grand Central Station. The huge building has not changed much since it opened in February, 1913. About 750, 000 people pass through Grand Central every day. Some just come to look at it, others to visit the stores. But most are there to catch the trains that enter and leave from the station. It is the largest train station in the world. There are 67 train tracks, all of them underground. The main part of the building has large, arched windows, a jeweled four-sided clock and ticket windows. Grand Central has been seen in many movies through the years. Dan Brucker has worked for the transit authority at Grand Central for 30 years. In all those years, he has not lost his interest in the building. According to Mr. Brucker, the station is the beginning of 20th century architecture. And as people come through this terminal, they don't even realize that the magnificent celestial ceiling above them, the very roof of heaven, is exactly wrong, is exactly opposite. It's a mirror image. Justin Ferate, a historian, has been giving tours of Grand Central Station for 30 years. He says the station was designed to make travel a pleasure and he also believes the building was designed for large numbers of people. A ten-year-long fight against plans to build a huge office building over Grand Central in 1968 helped create the modern preservation movement. Now, no one would think of changing the beauty of the station. What do people plan to celebrate for? 此题问到人们计划庆祝什么。短文中提到A famous building... turning 101 years old this year. A celebration is planned for Grand Central Terminal... 即“一座著名的建筑物今年即将101岁了,人们正在计划为纽约中央车站进行庆祝活动”。选项B与之相符,为答案。

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] What makes people drop the idea of making changes of the building? 此题问到什么让人们放弃了要改动这个车站的想法。答案出现在文章结尾处,即A ten-year-long fight against plans... helped create the modern preservation movement. 意为“一项长达十年的、反对在中央车站上盖办公楼计划的运动促成了现代的保护运动。”也就是说,是上一次想要改变该车站计划的破灭造成了这一结果,因此,正确答案为选项B。
