Step 1新四级听力新闻的应对策略（1）听力考题大纲（2016年起已改革）
全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会自2016年6月考试起将对四、六级考试的听力试题作局部调整。
四级听力部分各项占比：短篇新闻7%，长对话8%，听力篇章20%。
1）四级（Listening Conversations）：
共25题，包括短篇新闻，长对话和听力篇章。均采用多项选择题的形式进行考核，均朗读一遍。
短篇新闻：有3段，共7题，每题1分；分值占比7%。
长对话：有2篇，共8题，每题1分；分值占比8%。
听力篇章：有3篇，共10题，每题2分；分值占比20%。（2）新闻听力解题思路
四级听力新闻共三篇，共七道题，每篇长度大约200个单词，朗读语速在每分钟130个词左右。参考了TEM4考试新闻部分，其长度不大，虽然短小，但是信息量却很多，新闻听力需要让听众在短时间里获得最多的信息，一般将最重要 1 的内容放在开头的第一句，这句话就是新闻的导语，通常包括了如what, when, where, who, why 和how 等新闻事实。后面的内容一般是针对导语的进一步展开，所以新闻听力一般会采用主旨+细节的考查方法。通常考查的新闻细节包括时间、地点、行为、数字等方面。
（3）新闻听力解题思路
1.预览选项，推测新闻段落的基本内容 2.根据选项判定题型
新闻听力一篇两道题，通常是主旨题和细节题。新闻特点主旨题在导语第一句。3.放音时边听边记 4.听清问题 5.所听即所得
（4）新闻的题材内容
国际政治工业、农业
文化教育体育卫生
法律宗教社会问题
灾难报道等
外交 军事经济贸易
科学技术能源交通（5）重
点
听
力
必须在平时开始积累。
BBC 和 VOA、CNN、CHINA DAILY改编的新闻节目，经济类和环保类。听力练习步骤： 1.做题 2.对答案
3.查阅听力原文 单词、短语、定位词 4.再次做题 5.跟读
答题关键必须听清楚 问什么
（6）四大设题处
1.新闻的首句。新闻命题点常常是新闻报道中所说到的6要素即（what, who, which, where, when, how）,其中又有50%位于导语部分即第一句话，所以每个新闻的第一句话非常重要。
2.新闻的尾句。尾句有时是对新闻做总结或概述，所以设题点也可能在新闻的 2
尾句。
3.含有年代，数量，价格等数字处。
4.新闻材料的列举处。地区，改革，相关人物等信息的例举处往往是新闻的设题重点，而且往往是Except, Not, Incorrect等题型的首选。
1.主旨题——导语掌握法
主旨题是每年的新闻听力考试题型中定会出现的一类题型。题目经常以What is the main idea of the news?／What does the news item mainly report?的形式出现。根据新闻的结构特点，常使用倒金字塔结构（重点在前）。因此，在主旨题中，考生只要能够听懂导语的表述，就能够很好地把握主旨题。2． 细节题——问题答案合并法
此类题在新闻题中占比例较高。同学都感慨听新闻时太多细节，因此很难选出正确答案。细节题的关键不在于你能够听到多少的细节，而在于你能否找到题目的题点。对于此种题型的应试策略为：首先找到题目中的关键词或者短语，在听材料的过程中能够增加对问题的敏感度,以便更容易听到题点；之后，便可用问题答案合并法，即问题与答案出现在同一个句子中，很容易找到正解。3．推理题一句式句意转换法
推理题一向是各种题型中最难的一类，一般不能直接听到答案，而需要对新闻中的某句话进行句式或句意上的转换。对于此类题型，可以参照细节题的方法，同样先找出题目中的关键词，在新闻中听到考点后迅速进行句式或句意上的转换，再找出答案。
4、对错判断题——细节答案对应法
对错判断题同样是新闻中出现频率较高的题型，实际上也是一种细节题，只是要求学生对答案中的多个细节加以判断。对于此类题型，采用最多的是细节答案对应法，即在听新闻材料的过程中，听到题点，迅速找到对应的选项并要求做出对错判断。
Step Two 造成新闻听力得分低的原因
1.对时事关注度不够
新闻反映的是社会各个方面的信息，含括政治、经济、军事、文化、体育和自然灾害等,这就要求考生在各个领域都要有一定的常识。
2.对新闻词汇的不了解
新闻中的词汇多是正式的书面用词。其次，由于新闻的内容常与时事相关，因此 3
会出现很多各个领域的专业用语。如:parliament（议会，国会），civilian（平民），hostage(人质)等。
此外，新闻中的人名地名也会给考生造成很大的困惑。3.对新闻的文体和句法结构的不适应
新闻文体常使用倒金字塔结构，是指在新闻报道中把最重要的新闻事实放在整个报导的开头，称为导语；把次要的新闻事实放在导语之后；把最不重要的新闻事实放在整个报导的末尾。导语部分是整个新闻报道的精华，是对整个新闻报道的概括。往往在导语中便交代了时间、地点、人物、事件，有时还有原因，即常说的5 个“wh-”
4.对常速新闻语速的不习惯
新闻强调及时、迅速。语速比日常英语的语速快得多，且只放一遍，考生往往感觉还没有抓住什么新闻就播完了
Step Three新闻听力技巧
a.浏览题目，根据选项猜题意，从而缩小范围。
b.集中精神，注意新闻的第一句话。新闻报道的开头第一句话一般是对整个报道的一个概括。
c.抓住句子主干，再长的句子也有主谓宾——精听
d.详略得当，听到个别专用名词，如人名、国名地名、组织机构名等，不要纠结于此，以免忽略后面的内容
总结
1.多做精听，听出句子的主干部分。
2.要特别注重新闻报道的第一句话。
3.扩大词汇量。
4.掌握一些基本缩略语。
5.注意数字的不同说法。
6.循序渐进，由易到难。
7.要密切注意国内外形势的变化。

Step Four Listening of News practice
一、短篇新闻
Directions: In this section, you will hear 16 news reports.At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions.Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.The Philippines government says it evacuated 700,000 people from their homes as Typhoon Melor approaches.The storm arrived on Samar Island on Monday with 185-kilometer per hour winds.Forecasters say Melor is expected to bring ocean waves as high as four meters along with heavy rain, flooding and landslides.Up to 600,000 residents left the Albay province over concerns about landslides.Flights were cancelled and hundreds of fishing boats ordered to stay home.Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines two years ago, killing more than 7,000
people.So far, no deaths have been reported.But strong winds tore roofs from buildings and knocked down trees.The weather forecasting service Accuweather reports the typhoon is more compact than others that affect that part of the world.That will reduce the damage the typhoon causes as it moves toward the South China Sea.The storm should become less intense throughout the week but central Philippines could receive up to 300 millimeters of rain, while Manila will receive about half that amount.1.When did the storm arrive on Samar Island?
2.How much rain could central Philippines receive even though the storm should become less tense throughout the week?
Questions 3 to 5 will be based on the following news item.Sultan Aziz Ezam worked at radio stations in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province for nearly 10 years.Now, the broadcaster is reportedly the voice of the Islamic State’s new “caliphate radio”.VOA could not confirm the identity of the Islamic State radio announcer.However, local media workers recognize the voice as Ezam’s.Ezam’s former coworkers said he used to report on land issues for radio stations in the area.Now, they say he is issuing death threats from the Islamic State.Some of those threats target his former coworkers.The announcer said on IS radio, “I know the addresses of houses of all those journalists who are working with different media organizations.”
Afghan journalists said they are worried about the threats.About 50 reporters work for local and international news organizations in Nangarhar province.Afghan journalists told VOA that Ezam and his brother recently left their jobs at a local radio station.They said no one had heard from Ezam until they heard his voice on Islamic State broadcasts.Afghan government officials said they are aware of the threats against journalists.The officials also said the Islamic State radio station has not been taken off the air because of technical reasons.FM radio broadcasts by IS started recently along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.The two-hour broadcast includes Quran readings and anti-government propaganda.Both the Afghan and Pakistani governments say they are looking for the broadcasters.They believe the signal is coming from a mobile transmitter in the mountains.3.What did Ezam use to report on according to his former coworkers? 4.How many reporters work for local and international news organizations in
Nangarhar province? 5.Why, according to the officials, hasn’t the Islamic State radio station been taken off the air ?
Questions 6 to 8 will be based on the following news item.Floods and landslides in the Chin region of Myanmar displaced thousands of people this summer, but recovery has just begun.Almost 20,000 people were displaced by severe weather in western Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, say relief groups.Locals called the heavy rains of July the worst natural disaster in memory.Towns and villages across the region were destroyed.Months after the landslides, roads in the capital of Chin state, Hakha, have been cleared.But in the rural areas, aid is hard to find.Many of the emergency supplies sent to help Chin state had to pass through many flooded towns and villages.Supplies ran out before arriving in Chin.Peter Brimble, a development official for Myanmar, said Chin’s location hurt recovery efforts.“It’s tough to get in, and it’s tough to get out.… That causes a challenge … to get materials in and out to rebuild damaged assets,” Brimble said.Another strategy to help people recover is moving them.The Myanmar government is spending about $3 million dollars to relocate residents.Critics have two objections.The first is that contracts to rebuild will go to friends of favored officials.The second is that rebuilding will be rushed and low quality.Outside of Hakha, 700 new homes are being built.Inspectors have complained that this group of homes is in a remote location.Those waiting to move into the homes have been living in camps for nearly five months.6.What is the news about? 7.How many people were displaced by severe weather in western Myanmar? 8.Why do critics object to the government’s relocating strategy?
Questions 9 and 10 will be based on the following news item.In France, an anti-immigrant political party has lost regional elections.The National Front had led in at least six of the country’s 13 regions in the first part of elections last week.But early results of the second round of elections show the Republican party of former President Nicolas Sarkozy and his center-right allies leading in seven regions.The governing Socialist and other leftist parties have won in at least five.The National Front has gained support in recent years, namely in local elections in March and in European Union elections last year.The terrorist attack in Paris last month was another factor.The party wants France to leave the European Union and strengthen security.It also wants immigrants and those seeking asylum to be removed from the country.9．What is the news report mainly about? 10.What is true about the National Front according to the news report?
Questions 11 to 13 will be based on the following news item.Eleven Taliban fighters attacked an important airport in southern Afghanistan early Tuesday, killing at least 50 people, Afghan officials say.The Afghan Defense Ministry said 38 civilians, 10 soldiers and two police officers were killed.The attack on the Kandahar Air Fieldlasted 20 hours, reported the Washington Post华盛顿邮报.Among the dead were women and children, the newspaper wrote.The airport includes a military base with troops from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO.There were no reports that NATO troops were killed or injured in the attack.A spokesman for the Taliban says fighters entered the base and attacked local and foreign military troops.He said more than 150 soldiers were killed in the attack.The Taliban often makes claims about the results of their attacks that are not true.Taliban attacks have grown in number and strength in Afghanistan this year after the withdrawal last year of combat troops from other countries.11.Where did eleven Taliban fighters attack early Tuesday according to the news report? 12.Who were killed in the Taliban attack according to the Afghan Defense Ministry? 13.What is the result of the withdrawal last year of combat troops from other countries?
Questions 14 to 16 will be based on the following news item.Fourteen people were killed and hundreds were wounded during an attempt to overthrow the government of Burkina Faso in September.One of those wounded was Safiatou Ouedraogo.She was days away from giving birth, and she was shot in the abdomen.Ouedraogo was washing her clothes when she was shot.“I heard some loud noises, and I thought it was just kids playing.Next thing I know something hit my stomach.I stood up, but nothing fell off my lap.I looked to the ground to check, but I saw nothing there either, so I looked at my stomach and realized that whatever hit me had gone deep into my stomach.”
She was immediately brought to a Catholic Church hospital in the capital, Ouagadougou.The bullet hit the baby.She was cared for by Dr.Aicha Sana and her colleagues.“When she arrived here, she was not in labor and she was also conscious.When we did some exams we saw that the bullet had crossed through the uterus子宫.Since she was not in labor we decided to do a C-section to deliver the baby.”
The baby was not seriously hurt.Once she was out of the womb子宫, she started crying.The baby girl has been named Boinzimwende.It means “God is above all” in the
Mossi language.14.How many people were killed and wounded during the attempt to overthrow the government of Burkina Faso in September? 15.What was Ouedraogo doing when she was shot? 16.What does Boinzimwende, the baby girl’s name, mean in the Mossi language?
Questions 17 to 19 will be based on the following news item.Prosecutors in the U.S.state of Pennsylvania have brought criminal charges against celebrity Bill Cosby.Cosby, an American comedian is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in 2004.The case deals with a former Temple University employee who told police that Cosby drugged and violated her at his home near Philadelphia.It marks the first criminal case involving Cosby, after many years of accusations.If he is found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.An arrest warrant for the 78-year-old Cosby has been issued.More than 50 women have accused Cosby of drugging them, and in most cases, sexually assaulting them.Cosby has long denied the accusations.Many of the incidents happened several decades ago, and the statute of limitations has already passed.A statute of limitations is a law that prevents a suspect from being tried after a certain amount of time has passed.The statute of limitations in the Pennsylvania case was to expire in January 2016.Bill Cosby is best known for playing Dr.Cliff Huxtable, the father in the long-running American television program, “The Cosby Show.”The Cosby Show The charges have shocked Cosby’s fans and damaged his reputation as an entertainer.17.What is the news report mainly about? 18.What could Bill Cosby face if he is found guilty? 19.What is Bill Cosby best known for?
Questions 20 to 22 will be based on the following news item.The International Football Association’s ethics committee banned its president, Sepp Blatter, from the organization for eight years on Monday.The association is known as FIFA.Also getting an eight-year ban was Michel Platini, the head of the European soccer federation, UEFA.The ruling came because of a $2 million payment from FIFA to Platini in 2011.The two men called it salary for advising the president.But according to the Associated Press news service美联社新闻社，, Platini had no such contract with FIFA at the time.The payment is also being investigated by authorities in Switzerland.Blatter was already serving a provisional ban临时禁令 over the scandal earlier this year when 14 FIFA officials were arrested on corruption charges.The organization will elect a new president in February.For many years, it was anticipated that Platini would take over for Blatter.That is not likely after the news of his eight-year ban.Also, Platini is not on the list of candidates for the upcoming election.Blatter promised to fight the ban in the Court of Arbitration for Sport.He denied doing anything wrong by authorizing payments to Platini, calling the lack of a contract an administrative error.Blatter said “I am now suspended eight years, suspended eight years.But, I will fight.I will fight for me and I will fight for FIFA.”

第五篇：英语四级听力短篇新闻
英语四级听力短篇新闻
1.六级考试在09年和10年都曾经连续出现新闻听力，所以，这不算全新题目;
2.样卷的新闻听力全部来自BBC网站，但是预计在新版题目中，ABC,VOA或CRI的新闻都有可能出现;
3.正常新闻的语速一般为170~190词/分钟，但是，以旧版专四专八新闻听力考题为参考，四级听力的新闻内容，语速一定远低于此。预计和一般的短文听力语速并行;
4.以四级新闻第一题为例：
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.原文：
Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in(Q1)an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi.肯尼亚警方表示，内罗毕中部一个巴士停车场发生的爆炸造成1人死亡，26人受伤
你会发现，视听一致的神技依然可以使用，而且，似乎变化不大;
5.在国内听新闻的第一步，核心不是英语新闻，而是，正在发生的国内外大事的中文背景，你有所了解，这样才可以更好的理解英语新闻;
6.不要总把VOA、BBC挂在嘴边，听说的人，比真正听过的人，多太多;
7.听不懂新闻的核心，根本不是听的问题，而是太多新闻单词和短语，你根本就没有学过或者见过;
8.一般说来，数据和灾难新闻，是各种新闻听力题目的最爱(死伤人数什么的);
9.推荐几个NEWS APP，有用。China Daily / BBC NEWS/ CRI~每天，就是看看推送，也有进步。
10.很多困难，都是因为我们预设为：此事很难，或，此事肯定很难，而导致我们没有开始。听新闻也是一样，其实，开始了第一步，后面的可能性就非常大了。
