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) 德国播放节目的目的是获得国际上的支持support。 (2) 美国官方人士认为他们可以反南德国。answer…with…以……回答。 (3) 美国人向德国播放，当然用德语，德国人才会听懂。 (4) 信息在前面“news report（新闻报导）”，因此此处应是the news。 (5) 在一周之内，其他的播音员announcers也开始广播。 (6)purpose（目的），二战后，美国之音的广播目的应改变。 (7) considering是分词短语作状语，与主语some Americans是主动关系，意思是“考虑到”。 (8) 广播节目使得苏联听众能听到，即reach sb.若用C，应用动词attact（吸引）。 (9) be called被称为。 (10) enough to do是习惯用语，“听众懂的英语不够多”。 (11) normal English broadcast正常语速播放。 (12) invent除了作“发明某物”，也可指“发现新方法”。本句句意为：“美国之音又推出一种更简易的英语”。 (13) which引导非限定性定语从句。 (14) 要让更多听众听懂，语速当然很慢。 (15) in the opinion of…=in one's opinion依某人的观点。 (16) 最重要的节目是新闻报导。 (17) 世界各地的新闻飞往美国之音新闻室，强调速度快，即时效性。若选B，须用be sent to被动语态。 (18) major citoes各大城市；范围太广了，不符合逻辑。 (19)broadcast在此处是名词，指“广播电台”，相当于broadcasting station。 (20) report“报告”，应处于准备阶段，宾语若是news，则可以用（播报新闻）。
