【解析】

試題分析：文章是四個(gè)人其中包括外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)國(guó)際廣播電臺(tái)的評(píng)價(jià)，大家都表示對(duì)中國(guó)文化有濃厚興趣和對(duì)中國(guó)國(guó)際廣播電臺(tái)的感謝。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二個(gè)評(píng)論“ First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to CRI for its great efforts to keep the listeners up-to-date during the year 2008.Once again, thanks a lot for offering lots of information, news, entertainment and many items which have indeed broaden the horizons of our knowledge and understanding as well”�？芍狝、D是對(duì)的。又從第四個(gè)評(píng)論“have a better understanding of the Chinese culture”。可知B是對(duì)的。文中沒(méi)有提到可以幫聽(tīng)眾提高英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)。所以選C。

【2】A猜測(cè)詞義題。從文章第二段的句子“We, the listeners, are greatly grateful to CRI for its praise-worthy efforts to quench the thirst of its dear listeners. During the Year 2008, I found all of your programs quite interesting, informative and educational”。意思為我們聽(tīng)眾感激CRI努力滿足我們聽(tīng)眾的要求，可知“quench the thirst”是滿足人的需求的意思，選A。

【3】D主旨大意題。從文章這四個(gè)評(píng)論的內(nèi)容：我們可以歸納出CRI一直努力的完善自己從而獲得很高的歡迎度，選D。
