英语四级新闻听力命题规律

英语新闻具有时效性，重要性，突出性，语速标准，用词规范，内容广泛，并且信息量较大。只有明晰了所听内容的特点，才能帮助我们在听力过程中有针对性的捕捉信息。从总体上来说，新闻消息一般包括导语，主体和结尾三个部分。

导语

导语是新闻问题特有的一个概念，是新闻区别于其他文体的一个显著特点。它需要以最简洁，最有趣的语言给出文章中的主要问问题。传统的新闻导语需要回答5个问题，也就是5WS，即“谁，干什么，时间，地点，原因(who, what, when, where, why)”，有时还要加上怎样(how)，例如：

(1)A suicide bomber struck a crowed army recruitment center in Baghdad killing 61 people on Tuesday, officials said.

(2)Two helicopter crashes in Afghanistan have killed 14 U.S. troops and civilians in one of the deadliest days for U.S. forces since 2001 invasion.

(3)The bodies of dozens of African immigrants, discovered off the Italian coast last week, might have been thrown overboard, Italian officials said on Monday.

以上的例子都是以最简洁的方式向听中引出新闻中的具体内容，有利于掌握主旨。

末句

体育比赛，文艺演出，灾难，交通事故以及犯罪案件等新闻报道经长采用时间顺序结构进行叙述。按此结构写出的消息通常由开头(即导语部分)，按时间顺序叙述的一系列新闻事实(events in sequence)和结尾组成。所以主题或者最终结果很可能出现在末句，所以结尾常设考点。例如：

题目：A. By helicopter B. By boat C. By radio contact D. By a search team

Q. How were the crew rescued eventually?

录音：Eleven fishing boat crew who had been stranded since October in a remote part if Russia’s Far East have been rescued after sheltering nearly three months at an abandoned military base. The eight men and three women took refuge at the base after their small boats collided on Oct. 10. their attempts to fix one of the boats did not succeed and they had to remain at the abandoned base where there were only flour and cooking fat. Other supplies at the base, which was abandoned in 2003, included Christmas ornaments, and the crew members put them up on a small tree inside their quarters. But supplies began running low and early this week, five set off on foot across snow fields; on Friday, after four days of trudging, they reached a working military radio station. The center called rescuers, and helicopter were sent to take the 11 to the regional capital.

解析：从最后依据可知，救援中心派遣了直升飞机对船员进行营救，所以A为正确答案。B中boat在音频中出现，但并不是救援工具，而是被困者的交通工具。C中的radio contact是被困船员联系救援的方式，不是船员最终获救的途径。被困的11人派出了5人去寻求救助，但这5人不是搜救小组。
