9、们的节目。9C早期的VOA加了一些“被称为”的音乐。10D很多听众的英语有限。11A听不懂正常英语的广播节目。12A他们发明了一种简单的英语。13C引导非限制性定语从句用which。14A广播必须比正常的速度慢。15Cin the opinion of表示“在看来”。16B最重要的是新闻。17Afly可以用物来作主语；若用其他动词则需用被动式。18B“大城市”用major来修饰。19A还有来自其他电台的新闻，根据like后面的BBC可知。20D“用这些材料来准备他们的新闻报道”。.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正

13、oals were to reach a target level of income over a longer period，say one month，by 10._(work) the smallest possible number of hours. 【答案与解析】1to hireIt is possible to do sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事是可能的”。2findinghave time (in) doing sth.为固定用法，意为“有时间做某事”。3thatthat在此引导表语从句。4to take/takingprefer to do/doing sth.意为“更
14、喜欢做某事”。5occupiedtaxi与occupy为被动关系，意为“出租车被占用”，前面已有be，故用occupied。6smaller根据下文中的shorter hours可知，此处应用比较级，前后保持一致。7itit在这里是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。8quickly动词reach需用副词来修饰。9Therefore下文是针对上文描述的现象给出的总结性建议；总结前面内容，另起一句，故填Therefore。10working介词后跟ving形式。.读后续写(满分25分)阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。One winter Sunday， my li
