二、解题技巧

三、提高策略

四、真题解

五、专项练习一、新闻报道特征（一）结构特征四级新闻听力材料多来源于BBC、VOA和CNN等英美媒体。也叫倒叙结构，特点是按新闻事实内容和重要性递减的顺序来安排全文，整篇新闻呈倒金字塔结构。是指按照事件发生的时间顺序来报道，多见于对体育比赛、文艺演出、灾难、交通事故及犯罪案件等的报道。通常由开头、按时间顺序叙述的一系列新闻事实和结尾组成。主题一般放在结尾。倒金字塔结构时间顺序结构一、新闻报道特征（二）语言特征相比书面英语，广播新闻英语用词较为简单。但由于新闻涵盖面广，所以词汇量比较大、大量使用专有名词。新闻用词大多比较简短，经常采用单音节词或音节少的词。撰稿人为求标新立异、生动形象、节省时间，有时还会使用一些通俗而富有表现力的新词或缩略词。一、新闻报道特征（二）语言特征新闻用词有以下特征：1．用词偏短小新闻英语讲究简洁，常选用短小的词，力求表达生动。例如：cause=resultin ban=prohibit attend=takepartintoss=throw track=goafter link=connection happen=takeplace name=appointsee=witness deal=agreement combat=fightagainst一、新闻报道特征（二）语言特征2．多使用借代新闻报道中常使用借代修辞手法，如借用城市名、建筑物名称、人名指代国家、政府或组织机构，达到表达生动的目的。例如：新闻用词有以下特征：WallStreet 华尔街，指代美国金融业Pentagon 五角大楼，指代美国国防部BuckinghamPalace 白金汉宫，指代英国王室FleetStreet 弗利特街，指代英国新闻界ScotlandYard 苏格兰场，指代伦敦警察厅Kremlin 克里姆林宫，指代俄罗斯政府DowningStreet 唐宁街，指代英国政府一、新闻报道特征（二）语言特征新闻用词有以下特征：WhiteHouse 白宫，指代美国政府Washington 华盛顿，指代美国政府Beijing 北京，指代中国政府London 伦敦，指代英国政府Berlin 柏林，指代德国政府Moscow 莫斯科，指代俄罗斯政府CapitolHill 国会山，指代美国国会一、新闻报道特征（二）语言特征3．多使用缩略词新闻用词有以下特征：PM=PrimeMinister首相UN=UnitedNations联合国CFO=ChiefFinancialOfficer首席财务官CEO=ChiefExecutiveOfficer首席执行官GMT=GreenwichMeanTime格林尼治标准时间WTO=WorldTradeOrganization世界贸易组织IMF=InternationalMonetaryFund国际货币基金组织OPEC=OrganizationofPetroleumExportingCountries石油输出国组织NASA=NationalAeronauticsandSpaceAdministration美国国家航空和宇宙航行局二、解题技巧（一）主旨题主要考查考生对新闻主要内容的掌握程度。新闻的主要信息往往出现在新闻的第一段或最后一段，因此考生听录音时，应特别关注新闻的开头和结尾。主旨题的提问方式如下：Whatisthenewsreportmainlyabout?Whatisthespeakermainlytalkingabout?二、解题技巧（二）细节题主要考查考生对新闻报道中的一些细节，如时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、数字等的掌握程度。因此考生在听录音时，要关注新闻报道的六大要素：who,what,when,where,why,how。细节题的提问方式如下：WhatarebigfastfoodchainsinNewYorkCityrequiredtodoaccordingtothenewrule?Whatwillhappentobigrestaurantchainsthatviolatethenewrule?Whatistheproblemwithmanycompaniesaccordingtothenewsreport?Whydidthemantext-messageallhisfriendswhenhefirstgothiscellphone?WhatdowelearnaboutthePrestonBypass?二、解题技巧（三）推断题推理判断题的提问方式如下：WhatdoesthecompanyProcter&Gambleoweitssuccessto?主要考查考生根据新闻报道中的相关信息，推理判断出其深层含义的能力。这类题目要求考生在听懂新闻所述事实的基础上，领会其言外之意，达到真正理解新闻的目的。三、提高策略（一）自身发音要准确（三）明确新闻的结构特点，有准备地听（二）不断扩充词汇量四、真题解析Directions:Inthissection,youwillhearthreenewsreports.Attheendofeachnewsreport,youwillheartwoorthreequestions.Boththenewsreportandthequestionswillbespokenonlyonce.Afteryouhearaquestion,youmustchoosethebestanswerfromthefourchoicesmarkedA),B),C)andD).ThenmarkthecorrespondingletteronAnswerSheet1withasinglelinethroughthecentre.四、真题解析例题一2021年12月大学英语四级考试真题Questions1and2arebasedonthenewsreportyouhavejustheard.1.A)ItfoundapetdogonboardaplanetoacityinTexas.B)Ithadoneofitscargoplaneslandatawrongairport.C)Itsenttwodogstothewrongdestinations.D)Ithadtwoofitsdomesticflightsmixedup.2.A)Correcttheirmistakeassoonaspossible.B)Givethetwopetsaphysicalcheckup.C)Hireacharterjettobringthepetsback.D)Sendanotherplanetocontinuetheflight.四、真题解析UnitedAirlineshasapologisedformistakenlyshippinganAmericanfamily’spetdogthousandsofmilesinthewrongdirectiontoJapan.Thedogowner’sbeloved10-year-olddognamedBuddytookanunexpected16-hourlighttoTokyofollowingamix-upbytheairline.Thedogowner’sfamilyarecurrentlyintheprocessofmoving.TheyweremeanttobereunitedwiththepetintheirnewhomecityinTexas.ButwhentheyarrivedattheUnitedAirlinescargofacilityintheSouthernU.S.statetheyfoundastranger’sdogwaitinginBuddy’splace.BothofthedogshadbeensenttothewrongdestinationsonconnectingflightsfromDenverwithBuddymistakenlybeingsenttoJapaninstead.【听力原文】四、真题解析Buddywasgivenaphysicalcheck-upwhenhearrivedatTokyo’sInternationalAirport.ThedogwasthensentbacktotheU.S.onaprivatecharterjet.“I’msogladhe’saliveandcominghomesoon!”saidtherelieveddogowner.“AnerroroccurredduringtheconnectionsinDenver.Wehavenotifiedourcustomersthattheirpetsarrivedsafely.Wewillarrangetoreturnthepetstothemassoonaspossible,”aspokespersonofUnitedAirlinessaid.Questions1and2arebasedonthenewsreportyouhavejustheard.Q1.WhatdoesthenewsreportsayaboutUnitedAirlines?Q2.WhatdidthespokespersonforUnitedAirlinessaytheywoulddoaftertheincident?四、真题解析【答案解析】1．C。细节题。该题问：关于美国联合航空公司，新闻报道说了什么？新闻第一句提到“UnitedAirlineshasapologisedformistakenlyshippinganAmericanfamily’spetdogthousandsofmilesinthewrongdirectiontoJapan.”（美国联合航空公司为将一只宠物狗误送到数千英里外的日本而道歉。）；中间部分提到，“BothofthedogshadbeensenttothewrongdestinationsonconnectingflightsfromDenverwithBuddymistakenlybeingsenttoJapaninstead.”（两只狗在丹佛转机时被送错，宠物狗巴迪被误送到了日本），由此可知C选项（它把两只宠物狗送到了错误的目的地）符合报道的内容。2．A。细节题。该题问：美国联合航空公司发言人表示，他们在意外事件发生后会采取什么措施？新闻最后一句提到“‘Wewillarrangetoreturnthepetstothemassoonaspossible,’aspokespersonofUnitedAirlinessaid.”（美国联合航空公司发言人表示：“我们会尽快安排将宠物归还给他们。”），由此可知A选项（尽快纠正他们的错误）符合报道的内容。四、真题解析例题二2020年9月大学英语四级考试真题Questions1and2arebasedonthenewsreportyouhavejustheard.1.A)ShiptrafficintheAtlantic.

二、命题规律

三、解题技巧四、真题解析五、专项练习长对话听力理解（SectionB）包括两篇长对话，每篇240～280词，各对应4道单项选择题。每段对话和问题均朗读一遍，每个问题后留有15秒的答题时间。内容往往与旅游交通、工作商务、校园生活、医疗健康、饮食娱乐、住房搬家、生活交际等有关，有时也可以是人物采访、座谈等场景。侧重考查考生对对话内容的整体理解和细节把握。一、结构特征开头部分经常会出现对话发生的背景，如人物、时间、地点及主题内容等。结尾部分通常会阐述某件事情的结论或对下一步的计划安排。中间是长对话的具体论述部分，内容比较翔实，情节较复杂且难度较大。二、命题规律答案是对话细节的再现答案是对话细节的同义转述答案需要对细节进行推理判断或概括归纳三、解题技巧有备而听注意关键词关注说话人语音语调平时积累同义词组四、真题解析Directions:Inthissection,youwillheartwolongconversations.Attheendofeachconversation,youwillhearfourquestions.Boththeconversationandthequestionswillbespokenonlyonce.Afteryouhearaquestion,youmustchoosethebestanswerfromthefourchoicesmarkedA),B),C)andD).ThenmarkthecorrespondingletteronAnswerSheet1withasinglelinethroughthecenter.四、真题解析例题一2020年9月大学英语四级考试真题Questions1to4arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.1.A)Shewantedtosaveforanewphone.B)Shefounditmuchsafertousecash.C)Shecouldenjoydiscountswithcash.D)Shehadbeencheatedusingphoneapps.2.A)Theycansavealotmoretimeandtrouble.B)Theyfinditlessdifficulttomakepurchases.C)Theyderivegreaterpleasurefrombuyingthings.D)Theyarelessawareofthevalueoftheirmoney.四、真题解析3.A)Morevaluableitems.

象深刻）符合题意。【答案解析】2．B。细节题。该题问：男士是从哪里获得关于装修工程的想法的？由此可定位到第三轮对话，女士问男士“Wheredidyougetyourideas?”（你的想法是从哪儿来的？），男士答道“…I’vebeenregularlybuyinghomedesignmagazines.Everynowandthen,I’dsavedthepicturesIliked.”（我一直定期购买家居设计杂志，而且偶尔会保存我喜欢的装修图片。）。B选项（来自家居设计杂志）符合题意。四、真题解析3．C。细节题。该题问：男士对他最近完成的装修工程说了什么？第四轮对话中，女士说道“Wasn’titexpensive?Ihaveimaginedaprojectlikethiscouldbe.”（不是很贵吗？我想象过这样的工程会是昂贵的。），男士回答说“Actually,itwassurprisinglyaffordable.”（实际上，它的价格出奇地便宜。）。由此可知，C选项（费用是可以承受的）符合题意。【答案解析】4．B。细节题。该题问：为什么女士邀请男士下周去她家？对话末尾部分，女士说：“乔纳森和我正在考虑装修我们的客厅，而不是整个房子，至少现在还没有。我们很想从你的经验中得到一些启发。下周初你有空过来喝杯咖啡吗？”由此可知，女士邀请男士下周去她家的目的是B选项（她想让男士和她分享装修经验）。五、专项练习ConversationOneQuestions1to4arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.1.A)Theylefttheirpetswithneighbors.B)Theyrentedtheirhousetoastudent.C)Theyhiredsomeonetostayintheirhome.D)Theyaskedtheirgardenertowatchtheirhouse.2.A)Takecareofthechildren.
