perhapssomeonewillbeplayingafavoritepiecethatwilleaseyourpain.(所以，如果有一天你在巴黎错过了一趟火车，也许有人会弹一首你最喜欢的曲子来减轻你的痛苦。)”可知，在火车站放置钢琴的目的是使旅客有一个放松的旅行。故c项正确。20b。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“theamateurmusicianshaveincludedirishsoccerfansandevenbabies.(业余音乐家包括爱尔兰足球迷甚至婴儿。)”以及“itdrewnearly900entries.(它吸引了近900个参赛作品。)”可知，第四段主要是想告诉我们火车站中放置的钢琴很受人们的欢迎，所以b项正确。21d。词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“or even merely damaged”可知，甚至没有一架钢琴受损，并且由下文中的“theyaresharedandrespectedbyall.(他们被所有人分享和尊重。)”可知，画线词的意思是“故意破坏；肆意破坏”，所以d项正确。22a。主旨大意题。通读文章可知，法国铁路公司在火车站放置钢琴供旅客演奏和倾听，以及缓解大家错过火车的焦虑，故a项最适合作本文的标题。三、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。waystosay“happy
