W: Good morning,Brian. My name is Sarah Greene.
M: Welcome to our programme, Sarah. What’s your question today?
W: Well,I’ve always admired your programme because it allows ordinary citizens to air our views and share them.
M: Thank you. So what would you like to comment on?
W: I’m speaking on behalf of a group of neighbors living in the East End of Manchester, between two busy street markets. Naturally, we suffer from traffic, noise, dirt and petrol fumes.
M: Is that your complaint, Sarah?
W: (19) No,Brian,not yet! I need to add that we have an open green space with shady trees behind us,and these trees provide us with a quiet,pleasant place where we enjoy our leisure hours. We are mostly retired people and there are very few children at home.
M: So what’s wrong with that,Sarah?
W: (19) Well, our local council recently proposed to make use of this site as a temporary play center for about 100 children.
M: Have you done anything about it?
W: Yes! We have protested against this plan in different ways. We have sent e-mails, letters, even spoken on the phone...but the council has never paid attention to us. What’s worse,they have already started uprooting trees and grass...
M: (20) Would you say there’s some kind of alternative solution to this problem?
W: (20) There’s a disused school and playground within 300 meters...It could serve their purpose just as well.
M: (21) I’d advise you to try and make a personal appointment with a member of the local council. That would give you the chance to be heard face-to-face.
W: I’ll do that, Brian, thank you very much for your advice.

答案C

解析 女士在对话开头提到了小区面临的交通、噪音、灰尘以及汽油味等问题,但这些都不是她抱怨的主要问题。主要问题是小区有一片绿地可以为老人们提供休憩的场所,但现在地方议会要把这片绿地改为儿童游乐场所。故答案为C)。
