PART2短篇新闻听力大解题技巧

四级新闻相对较短，包含的专业词汇较多，考生听的时候容易紧张慌乱，很可能一篇新闻听完了，只听到寥寥几个单词，无从下笔做题

进行短篇新闻听力部分的考试时，考生要重视预滨考题，让自己在听录音和答题时更有把握。

方法一：根据选项联想新闻主题

新闻听力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。

例如：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A丑taxis,01d taxis,new cabs等可以看出这是一则与出租车有关的新闻，而且涉及新旧出租车。有了这个M判，就能从整体上把握新闻内容，做到心中有数。 方法二：根据选项记录重点

根据有些选项的内容，就可以判断这属于什么命题类型，然后根据类型来做笔记。比如选项都为数字题时，可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，应重视在对应的选项旁记录相应的内容 例如：

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，因此听录音、做笔记时应着重 关注这些时间发生的事情。

方法三：新闻导语揭示主旨大意

英语新闻报道通常把最重要的信息放在第一，它概括了全篇新闻的大意，是点睛之笔。这就是新闻的导语听懂了导语就等于听懂了一半。四级考生应注重学会把握新闻的导语，帮助答题。

例如：A) Christmas-time attacks made by Somali rebels. B) An explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. C) the killing of more than 70 Ugandans in Kampala D) Blasts set off by a Somali group in Uganda's capital. 听力材料：Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central

Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people.

Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital... Q: What is the news report mainly about?

(详解】本题为主旨题。新闻报道通常开篇便直接点出报道的主题。录音首句(导语)说，肯尼亚警方公布关于一起在内罗比中部某巴士站发生的爆炸事件的情况(an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobil),B基本是对此处录音关键信息的原词复现，故为答案。

方法四：依靠常识

对于某一则新闻，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。 例如：

A) There are no more irregular practices C) New cabs are all equipped with meters. B) All new cabs provide air-conditioning D) New legislation protects consumer rights. Q Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?

详解：如果没有听信原文、也没有记录，这道题完全可以结合常识进行解答。只要听到了问题，根据常识可知的出租车是不用跟司机讨价还价的，据此可选C. PART3短片新闻听力练习
