【答案及解析】

1. 选D。从最后句子As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne. I would like to wish all of our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas.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A radio program(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Buddy Thomas，所以答案是C。

3. 选A。短文的第1句This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year’s Eve.就告诉了我们，这首歌是在New Year’s Eve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a poem(一首诗)，在1796年出版，而The words and music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later. 3年以后歌曲才出现，所以应该是在1799年。因此答案是D。

5. 选C。在第1段播音员就告诉我们：It tells about the need to remember old friends. 所以答案是C。
