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。
