1、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:What is the passage mainly about?What did the speake
2、r want to tell us in the passage?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(the news lead),是整条新闻的一个浓缩。The gates of Guantanamo were open to the media today.这一新闻导语包含了以下几个要素:When:TodayWho:GuantanamoWhat:Open to the m
3、edia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、whats more等2.转折关系:but、however、otherwise、nevertheless、although等3.因果关系:because、since、therefore、as a result等4.时间关系:earlier、formerly、previously、meanwhile、at the same time等5.表示举例:for example、such as、for inst
4、ance等6.条件关系:if、in case、in the event that、supposing that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Nuclear Energy、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
5、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) All taxis began to use meters. C) Advertisements were allowed on taxis.B) All taxis got air conditioning. D) Old taxis were replaced with new cabs.详解由选项的关键词All taxis, Old taxis, new cabs 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
6、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) On Christmas Eve. C) During a security check.B) Just before midnight. D)In the small hours of the morning 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
7、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。【样题】A) There are no more irregular practices. B) All new cabs provide air-conditioning. C) New cabs are all equipped with meters.D) New legislation protects consumer rights.问题 Why do customers no longer argue
8、 with new cab drivers ?详解如果没有听懂原文、也没有记录,这道题完全可以用常识进行解答。只要听到了问题,根据常识可知,打表的出租车是不用跟司机讨价还价的,据此可选出C。五大类题材天灾人祸类,政治与国际关系类,社会生活类,人物故事类,人文学习类第一大类 天灾人祸类主题词汇与短语100个1. 自然灾害tragedy n. 灾难,悲剧disastrous adj. 灾难性的disaster n. 灾难death toll 死亡人数casualty n. 伤亡人员mortality n. 死亡(率)wreck vt. 破坏 n. 残骸crash n.v. 碰撞,坠落uproot
