The designers of the facility had to take into account
Emm... there are a few facilities which were in the original plans, but haven’t so far made it into the final design phase. We do have one building next to the dormitory, which we’re a bit unsure how to proceed with.
The favourite suggestion is a gym and pool, though frankly that’s a bit optimistic, given the cost of those facilities. The most likely outcome will be some kind of food outlet, because that could contribute towards the overall running, costs, with another option being a conference room.
The facility will, of course, be partly funded by visits from the general public during school terms, and we’ve already had some interest from companies who could use it for corporate events and retreats. That will contribute a lot to the upkeep and development because council funding won’t cover everything, though it does cover the bulk of the ongoing expenses.
Well, the site might seem a little far from most of the schools in the Council area, but I should just mention that one of the attractions of this location was the easy road access and proximity to transports hubs. But not only that, the nearby Parkdale forest has some excellent walking tracks and mountain biking trails. If there’s a drawback, I’d say it’s the lack of grocery stores within walking distance. It’s going to be a great addition to the facilities available to everyone in the area, and it’s the end result of a long consultation process with schools and the public.
Now, we haven’t been able to do everything that we’re wanted, not particularly because of budget constraints, but more because of the extent to which we were limited by the existing structures from previous commercial use, but we have listened to both the parents and the students who are going to use the facility.
Now, I’m sure you’ll have a lot of questions, so let’s take a short break, and when we come back we can open up the meeting for discussion.

选项 A、the views of local businesses.
B、a shortage of funding for the construction.
C、some building which were already there.

答案C

解析 答案句是“…because of the extent to which we were limited by the existing structures from previous commercial use…”。本题的难度系数较高。难点之一在于题干中的定位词在听力原文中被替换成了we,捕捉起来需要考查考生整体理解原文的能力;难点二在于答案句的前句中出现了迷惑选项budget constrains,对应B选项的建筑资金短缺,但原文是“not particularly because of budget constraints”(不是因为预算有限),而是因为受到此前商业用途遗留下来的结构限制,也就是说之前有些建筑物会对新的使用造成影响,故选C。
