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) 德國播放節目的目的是獲得國際上的支持support。 (2) 美國官方人士認為他們可以反南德國。answer…with…以……回答。 (3) 美國人向德國播放，當然用德語，德國人才會聽懂。 (4) 信息在前面“news report（新聞報導）”，因此此處應是the news。 (5) 在一周之內，其他的播音員announcers也開始廣播。 (6)purpose（目的），二戰后，美國之音的廣播目的應改變。 (7) considering是分詞短語作狀語，與主語some Americans是主動關系，意思是“考慮到”。 (8) 廣播節目使得蘇聯聽眾能聽到，即reach sb.若用C，應用動詞attact（吸引）。 (9) be called被稱為。 (10) enough to do是習慣用語，“聽眾懂的英語不夠多”。 (11) normal English broadcast正常語速播放。 (12) invent除了作“發明某物”，也可指“發現新方法”。本句句意為：“美國之音又推出一種更簡易的英語”。 (13) which引導非限定性定語從句。 (14) 要讓更多聽眾聽懂，語速當然很慢。 (15) in the opinion of…=in one's opinion依某人的觀點。 (16) 最重要的節目是新聞報導。 (17) 世界各地的新聞飛往美國之音新聞室，強調速度快，即時效性。若選B，須用be sent to被動語態。 (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”，相當于broadcasting station。 (20) report“報告”，應處于準備階段，賓語若是news，則可以用（播報新聞）。
