Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．C;3．A;4．D;5．C;
解析：

(1)	细节理解题。由第三段中…I would like to wish all our radio friends a very Happy New Year!可知这是一档广播节目。
(2)	推测理解题。在这档广播节目中，主持人在向我们介绍一首名为Auld Lang Syne的歌曲。那么主持人是谁呢?由短文最后一句This is Buddy Thomas．知，Buddy Thomas就是节目主持人，故选择C。
(3)	细节理解题。由第一段第三句It is the traditional music played during the New Year's celebration．知，应该选择A．
(4)	推测理解题。由第二段最后两句知，1796年苏格兰诗人Robert Bums出版过Auld Lang Syne的一个版本，但我们今天所知的词曲版本出现在其三年后，即1799年的一个歌集中。
(5)	推测理解题。通读全文可知，节目主要介绍了Auld Lang Syne这首歌曲的起源，但这首歌本身的意义在于缅怀老友。
