听力材料：　　[26]At first, most Americans didn't think there wasanything particularly special about the White House.Few had ever seen it or had any idea what it lookedlike, and even the families who lived there found itcompletely inadequate. When it was built, the WhiteHouse was the largest house in the country and itremained so until after the Civil War. But it served so many different purposes that little of itwas available for First Family to actually live in. The first floor, or "State Floor," was made upentirely of public rooms; and the president's offices, which were staffed by as many as 30employees, took half of the second floor. The First Family had to get by with the eight or fewersecond-floor rooms that were left. [27]By Lincoln's time, the situation was intolerable. TheWhite House was open to visitors; office seekers, cranks, and the merely curious had nodifficulty making their way upstairs to the official rooms from the first floor. Lincoln was souncomfortable with the situation that he had a private corridor constructed. He alsoreceived a $20,000 appropriation to improve the furnishings of the White House. [28]The newfurnishings did not last for more than a few years. When Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, theWhite House fell into disarray. No one really supervised the White House during the first fiveweeks. Mrs. Lincoln laid mourning in her room, and vandals helped themselves.
　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　26. How did Americans feel towards the White House in the beginning?
　　正确答案：A
　　解析：短文谈到，一开始，大部分美国人认为白宫并没有什么特别之处，很少人见过白宫或者知道白宫是什么样子的，也就是说，美国人一开始对白宫并不太在意，故选A。
　　27. Why was the situation intolerable during Lincoln's time?
　　正确答案：C
　　解析：短文谈到，在林肯时期，白宫对外开放，各种各样的人都可以很轻易地从一楼上到楼上的官员室去，也就是说没有对参观者进行监管，所以白宫的情况很糟糕，故选C。
　　28. What happened after the White House was refurbished according to the speaker?
　　正确答案：D
　　解析：短文谈到，白宫的新装修并没有持续几年，林肯遇刺之后，白宫陷入了混乱，故选D。
