网友回答
(答案→)1. C
解析：
1．二战期间，德国做广播节目的初衷应是呼吁国际“支持（support）”，而不可能是另三项。
2．由with words可以想到answer。reply后接宾语时要加to。
3．播音的主体当然是announcers（播音员）了。
4． VOA电台成立之初的目标主要是对二战中的一些敌对国家进行宣传，随着二战结束，敌对国家有所改变，那么广播的目的与对象的也应随之而改变。
5． reach是中性词，其他三词要么是褒义，要么是贬义，在此不合语境。
6． be called “被称做…”， “be known as…”。
7．区别于后文提到的special English。
8．原来没有的东西，现在有了，故用invent。
9． flies表达了新闻的及时、快速的特点，其余的词没有这种意思。从词的搭配看，send是及物动词，在此处要News…was sent to…, “deliver”也是如此。 past不是动词。
10．由后面的定语从句可以推知，这里指新闻报道的前期“准备”工作。
