Answer 1

答案：C;B;D;A;C;C;C;A;C;D;A;A;C;A;C;B;A;B;A;D
解析：

(1) 德國(guó)播放節(jié)目的目的是獲得國(guó)際上的支持support。 (2) 美國(guó)官方人士認(rèn)為他們可以反南德國(guó)。answer…with…以……回答。 (3) 美國(guó)人向德國(guó)播放，當(dāng)然用德語(yǔ)，德國(guó)人才會(huì)聽(tīng)懂。 (4) 信息在前面“news report（新聞報(bào)導(dǎo)）”，因此此處應(yīng)是the news。 (5) 在一周之內(nèi)，其他的播音員announcers也開(kāi)始廣播。 (6)purpose（目的），二戰(zhàn)后，美國(guó)之音的廣播目的應(yīng)改變。 (7) considering是分詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ)，與主語(yǔ)some Americans是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，意思是“考慮到”。 (8) 廣播節(jié)目使得蘇聯(lián)聽(tīng)眾能聽(tīng)到，即reach sb.若用C，應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞attact（吸引）。 (9) be called被稱為。 (10) enough to do是習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)，“聽(tīng)眾懂的英語(yǔ)不夠多”。 (11) normal English broadcast正常語(yǔ)速播放。 (12) invent除了作“發(fā)明某物”，也可指“發(fā)現(xiàn)新方法”。本句句意為：“美國(guó)之音又推出一種更簡(jiǎn)易的英語(yǔ)”。 (13) which引導(dǎo)非限定性定語(yǔ)從句。 (14) 要讓更多聽(tīng)眾聽(tīng)懂，語(yǔ)速當(dāng)然很慢。 (15) in the opinion of…=in one's opinion依某人的觀點(diǎn)。 (16) 最重要的節(jié)目是新聞報(bào)導(dǎo)。 (17) 世界各地的新聞飛往美國(guó)之音新聞室，強(qiáng)調(diào)速度快，即時(shí)效性。若選B，須用be sent to被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。 (18) major citoes各大城市；范圍太廣了，不符合邏輯。 (19)broadcast在此處是名詞，指“廣播電臺(tái)”，相當(dāng)于broadcasting station。 (20) report“報(bào)告”，應(yīng)處于準(zhǔn)備階段，賓語(yǔ)若是news，則可以用（播報(bào)新聞）。
