本文講述了《美國之音》的問世及發(fā)展過程。
1. C二戰(zhàn)期間德國向全世界廣播節(jié)目應(yīng)該是想要得到國際"支持"。
2. B美國之音的開播是想對德國作出"回應(yīng)"。
3. D回應(yīng)德國的廣播用"德文"而不是英文是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)。
4. A下文說"but we shall tell you the truth",而且有好也有壞的,只能是"消息"。
5. C用外語播節(jié)目的只能是"播音員"。VOA 只有一個廣播電臺,不能用復(fù)數(shù)。
6. C VOA廣播電臺是為二戰(zhàn)服務(wù)的,所以當(dāng)戰(zhàn)爭結(jié)束后,VOA的"目的"就變了。
7. C "考慮到"蘇聯(lián)成為了美國的敵人。
8. A他們想向蘇聯(lián)聽眾廣播他們的節(jié)目。

12. A他們"發(fā)明了"一種簡單的英語(即專給外國人聽的慢速英語)。
13. C此空前有一個逗號,所以不能用it;又因先行詞為"a simpler kind of English",所以關(guān)系代詞只能用which而不用that或who。
14. A 既然是"特別英語",而且要讓許多英語水平不夠好的聽眾能聽懂,就只能"慢速"播音了。
15. C "在某人看來",固定搭配。
16. B下文談到"新聞源源不斷地從世界各地傳來",此空肯定是指新聞的"重要性"了。
17. A從上文所談到的使用語言可知,VOA的'新聞節(jié)目是"全球性"的。
18. B新聞媒體的記者只能是在"主要的"城市,所以用major來修飾。

A
The West is full of fast food and large amounts of food which contribute to many women's being fat. While many are fat, thin women are admired and seen as healthier. This has led to a culture of gym-going, strange die?ting methods and, frequently, eating disorders. In the East, women tend to be smaller and many women take pills to keep their slim figures as they get older. However, you're mistaken if you think thinness is the beauty stand?ard all over the world. The BBC reports that in Mauritania, Africa, the op?posite is true.
In Mauritania, mothers force their daughters to eat a lot of food so that they get as fat as possible. The fatter they are, the more likely they are to marry well. Fat is also considered healthy, because in a country where HIV/AIDS is a very real problem, thin people are often sick and dying. However, "healthy" fat women are suffering from some problems of their own and many are dying in their 40s of weight-related diseases.
The Mauritanian government is trying to warn its people of the dangers of being overweight but it's not easy to change cultural views. Many women worry that if they lose weight, their husbands will leave them for fatter, more attractive women.
It seems that while education about the dangers of being too thin and too fat is very important, what the world really needs is to become less pre?occupied with the size, shape and weight of women's bodies. The promotion of healthy practices is easy but changing cultural beauty standards takes more time, imagination and effort.
1. According to the article, why are women usually fatter in the West?
A. They don't exercise enough.
B. Large food portions and fast food are common.
C. They use unhealthy dieting methods.
D. They believe that being fat is beautiful.
2. What examples does the writer give of unhealthy weight-loss methods in the East and West?
A. Strange dieting methods, exercising, taking pills and eating too much.
B. Taking pills, watching what you eat and exercising.
C. Strange dieting methods and warning people about the dangers of be?ing overweight.
D. Gym-going, strange dieting methods, eating disorders and taking pills.
3. Why are girls forced to eat a lot of food in Mauritania?
A. They believe that fat people won't get HIV/AIDS.
B. They believe that they can lead healthier lives.
C. They believe if they grow fat, they may possibly marry good hus?bands.
D. They believe that they won't get sick very often.
4. According to the article, why do some women in Mauritania not want to lose weight even though they know being fat is unhealthy?
A. They worry that their husbands will leave them if they're thin.
B. They really like being beautiful.
C. They really like eating a lot of food and being fat.
D. The government forces them to eat a lot so they won't get sick.

From Daban, we move to another ancient small town,Loulan. Daban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth(神話)in the desert.
Two thousand years ago,beside the beautiful and rich Luobu Lake,there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were dancing parties. Everything showed that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.
However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. Then it became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.
Loulan was first "discovered" by a Swedish man in 1900. People from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden, all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.
It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties(朝代),and covered an area of some 100 ,000 square metres. Inside the city,there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city,there are some dried rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug out there including Han Dynasty coins,mirrors and many things from Greek and Roman. All these things show that a lot of business between East and West once took place there.
Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area,the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless "forests" of mounds(小丘)which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting so many people from so many countries.
