2. 选C。
由于这个小女孩的家很穷,而她的兄弟又病得那样重,所以她的父亲说Onlyamiraclecansavehimnow,小女孩听了之后便翻出她所有的“积蓄”去药店购买miracle,由此可见,小女孩可能认为miracle是一种什么很神奇的药。
注:
miracle的实际意思是“奇迹”,Onlyamiraclecansavehimnow的意思是“只有出现奇迹才可能救得了他”

1. 选D。
从最后句子AsweendourprogramwithAuldLangSyne. IwouldliketowishallofourradiofriendsaveryHappyNewYear!
ThisisBuddyThomas.我们可以知道,这是播音员在结束节目时才会说的话,所以可以推断出这篇短文来自Aradioprogram(一个广播节目)。
答案为D。
2. 选C。
最后一句话告诉我们播音员是BuddyThomas,所以答案是C。
3. 选A。
短文的第1句ThisisasongmillionsofAmericanswillhearthisNewYear’sEve.就告诉了我们,这首歌是在NewYear’sEve听的,所以答案选择A。
4. 选D。
从第2段可以知道这首歌的前身是apoem(一首诗),在1796年出版,而Thewordsandmusicweknowtodayfirstappearedinasongbookthreeyearslater.3年以后歌曲才出现,所以应该是在1799年。
