大学英语四级新闻听力

⼤学英语四级新闻听⼒
掌握新闻六要素
标准的新闻报道，必须包括六⼤要素，可概括为“5个W和1个H”，具体如下：When：新闻发⽣的时间
Where：新闻发⽣的地点
Who：新闻⾥涉及的⼈物
What：发⽣的新闻事件
Why：发⽣新闻事件的原因
How：新闻事件发⽣的背景，如何诱发、促成这⼀新闻事件
因此，如果能在听的时候把握这六要素，就能轻松捋清新闻脉络，掌握新闻内容。

捋清脉络，巧解主旨
主旨类题⽬的⽂章，主题句⼀般都出现在⽂章的开头或结尾，题⽬形式相对固定，主要考查应试者对短⽂主旨⼤意的概括理解能⼒。

例如：Whatisthepassagemainlyabout
Whatdidthespeakerwanttotellusinthepassage
通常，主题句出现在段⾸的⽂章属于演绎性的，开头就明确主题，然后⽤演绎的⽅法将观点分条展开论述。

归纳性⽂章的主旨句常出现在段尾，⽂章先摆出⾃⼰的观点、论据，最后得出结论，也就是⽂章的主题。

句⾸尤为重要
新闻报道，开头第⼀句话往往是对报道的⼀个概括，被称为新闻导语（thenewslead），是整条新闻的⼀个浓缩。

ThegatesofGuantanamowereopentothemediatoday.这⼀新闻导语包含了以下⼏个要素：When：Today
Who：Guantanamo
What：Opentothemedia
短短的⼀句话，10个单词就把这篇新闻报道的时间、主⾓和事件告诉了听众。

后⾯的报道都是围绕这这⼀事件展开的。

注意连接词
1.并列、递进关系：and、also、moreover、besides、what’smore等
2.转折关系：but、however、otherwise、nevertheless、although等
3.因果关系：bec ause、since、therefore、asaresult等
4.时间关系：earlier、formerly、previously、meanwhile、atthesametime等
5.表⽰举例：forexample、suchas、forinstance等
6.条件关系：if、incase、intheeventthat、supposingthat等
有针对性地扩充词汇量
要分门别类的熟悉新闻报道中出现的⾼频词汇，例如经济类的NuclearEnergy、finance等，政治类的election、vote等，科技类的clinical、robot等，依此类推，还有军事、⽂化和体育等领域的词汇。

熟悉语⾳知识
听⼒中常有连读、失爆等语⾳现象，了解熟悉这些语⾳现象，才能准确辩听词句。

根据选项联想新闻主题
四级在新闻不外乎以下主题：国际关系、灾难、犯罪、经济、民⽣调查、恐怖主义、政治、科技、环境、体育等。

预读考题的时候，通过结合题⼲和选项的关键字眼，可以看出这篇新闻主题是什么，听的时候有所侧重。

【样题】
A)Alltaxisbegantousemeters.C)Advertisementswereallowedontaxis.
B)Alltaxisgotairconditioning.D)Oldtaxiswerereplacedwithnewcabs.
[详解]由选项的关键词Alltaxis,Oldtaxis,newcabs等可以看出这是⼀则与出租车有关的新闻，⽽且设计新旧出租车。

有了这个预判,就能从整体上把握新闻内容，做到⼼中有数。

根据选项确定记录重点
根据有些选项的内容，就可以判断这属于什么命题类型，然⽚根据类型来做笔记。

⽐如选项都为数字题时，可以在听⾳时重点记录与选项对应的数字的内容。

类似的还有时间和地点等细节题，在听⾳时，⼀定要在对应的选项上记录相应的内容。

【样题】
A)OnChristmasEve.C)Duringasecuritycheck.
B)Justbeforemidnight.D）Inthesmallhoursofthemorning
[详解]这道题的四个选项都是关于某个时间，因此推测本题与某事发⽣的时间有关，因此听录勤、做笔记时就要着重关注这些时间发⽣的事情。

依靠常识
对于某⼀则新间，万⼀完全没有听懂，笔记也没有记下来，考⽣也不要轻⾔放弃。

可以通过仔细研究考题，运⽤⾃⼰的常识帮助答题。

四级考试的新闻通常是从主流媒体选材的。

也就是说，新闻说的事情都是真实发⽣的，只要考⽣有⼀定的背景知识。

有时也可以猜对答案。
