Section B
Passage One
Pianos are normally found in building for obvious reasons. However, there's one piano in the city in the north of England that has a more unusual home-in the street.
When Nick and Doug were moving into their new house, they couldn't get their piano up the [26]steps because they were too steep. So they ended up leaving the piano on the pavement and all of a sudden they found that local people started to play it, and it very quickly became known as the street piano.
At some point, the council threatened to take it away [27]because they said it was an obstruction to the pavement. Then all the local players were up in arms about it and put notes all over the piano saying, "Please save the street piano".
These are all the messages of support that people have stuck on the piano. One of them says, "Don't get rid of the street piano, [28]it's part of our heritage now. We love you, street piano." And another says, "I find I trip over wheelie bins much more often than pianos. Save the street piano." Some older member of the community says, "I think it's great, I think it's wonderful, as I walk by, young people no more horse around but have a go on it. I think it's a legend in its own lifetime, it's something that is famous and admired during its life."
Nick and Doug thought that they were going to lose it but it looks like they might be able to save their street piano.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Why did Nick and Doug fail to move up the piano to the house?
正確答案：B
解析：短文說(shuō)，不能把鋼琴搬上樓的原因是樓梯太陡了。故答案是B。四個(gè)選擇是四種描述，根據(jù)提示詞floor，staircase，passage，tread，初步猜測(cè)題目與建筑物的特征有關(guān)。原文中出現(xiàn)了step，指的是樓梯臺(tái)階，也就對(duì)應(yīng)B中的staircase。
27. What was the reason the council gave to take the piano away?
正確答案：D
解析：短文說(shuō)，當(dāng)?shù)刈h會(huì)認(rèn)為鋼琴是人行道上的障礙物，阻礙路人行走。故答案是D。四個(gè)選擇是四種后果，初步猜測(cè)題目與某物引起的麻煩有關(guān)。C是強(qiáng)干擾項(xiàng)。但文中pavement（人行道）是不會(huì)有car的，因此可排除C。
28. What do the supporters think about the street piano?
正確答案：A
解析：短文說(shuō)，有人認(rèn)為鋼琴是他們文化遺產(chǎn)的一部分。故答案是A。四個(gè)選擇是四種判斷，初步猜測(cè)題目問(wèn)某物的代表意義。聽(tīng)到什么選什么。
