Answer 1

答案：1C2A3B4C
解析：

听力原文：     Now about the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Gella House. It destroyed the third floor of the building.     But firefighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time and they were carried out to safety. The Gella House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Gella family owned the building until the 1930's. Then they sold it to Mill's family. Five years ago, it was made into a building for the elderly. Several fire departments were called the scene. When we asked fire chief Andrew Barnes how the fire started, he answered that most likely a burning cigarette caused it. Chief Barnes promised to further examine the cause.     (Now listen again. please)
