【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了美國之音（VOA）由來及發(fā)展過程。

1.名詞。A商務(wù)，業(yè)務(wù)，B文化，C支持，D信息。美國之音VOA的廣播開始于第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，與此同時(shí)德國正在利用無線電廣播以獲得國際(輿論)的支持。根據(jù)句意故選C。

2.動(dòng)詞。由文中的with words可推斷出answer。reply后接賓語時(shí)要加to。這里指要回復(fù)德國電臺(tái)。根據(jù)句意故選B。

3.形容詞。由常識(shí)可知，要回復(fù)德國電臺(tái)，得用“德文”來播，這樣德國人才能聽懂。根據(jù)句意故選D.

4.名詞。A．news消息；B．problems問題；C．effects影響；D．opinions觀點(diǎn)。前文已說了播出的是news report。根據(jù)句意故選A。

5.名詞。A．stations電視臺(tái)；B．news消息；C．a(chǎn)nnouncers播音員；D．officials官員。由常識(shí)可知，播音的主體是announcers(播音員)了。根據(jù)句意故選C.

6.名詞。由文意可知， VOA電臺(tái)成立之初的目標(biāo)主要是對(duì)二戰(zhàn)中的一些敵對(duì)國家進(jìn)行宣傳，隨著二戰(zhàn)的結(jié)束，敵對(duì)國家有所改變，那么廣播的目的與對(duì)象也應(yīng)隨之發(fā)生改變。故選C。

7.連詞。A．if如果；B．supposing假如；C．considering考慮到；D．in order that 目的是。considering“考慮到……”,表示改變廣播目的背景。故選C。

8.動(dòng)詞。A．reach到達(dá)；B．satisfy滿意；C．a(chǎn)ttack襲擊；D．support支持。reach是中性詞，其他三詞要么是褒義，要么是貶義，在此不合語境。根據(jù)句意故選A。

9.動(dòng)詞。A．known知道；B．reported報(bào)告；C．called稱為；D．printed打印。這里的be called “被稱做…”。它的廣播被稱為“美國音樂”。故選C。
10.形容詞。A．American美國的；B．British英國的；C．standard標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的；D．enough足夠的。由常識(shí)可知，對(duì)英語不是很精通才導(dǎo)致不能完全聽懂英文廣播。故選D。

13.代詞。這里考查which引導(dǎo)的定語從句。分析語境及句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)是引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，指物。根據(jù)句意故選C

14.副詞。slowly慢的。由常識(shí)可知，正常英語聽不懂，除了詞匯問題，更重要的還有語速問題，即速度要“慢”�？芍獞�(yīng)選A。

15.名詞。A．pleasure快樂；B．course課程；C．opinion觀點(diǎn)；D．a(chǎn)dvice建議。opinion觀點(diǎn)，看法。后面敘述的就是看法、觀點(diǎn)。故選C。
