Test 1 Script

[1]There are about 660,000 school-aged Syrian refugee children in Turkey. Government officials estimate only about one-third of them are going to school. Educating the refugee children is an enormous task. One U.S. official says that a huge school system like the one in New York City would be overwhelmed.

The United States says it is working with the United Nations to help bridge the education gap for refugee children. Without school, the effects will be negative and long-lasting.

The United States provided Turkey with aid for education earlier. [2]In December, it offered an additional $24 million. Human Rights Watch says a quality education will ensure a more stable future for these children. The organization says about 90 percent of children in refugee camps run by the Turkish government attend school. But most of the children living outside of those camps are not receiving education.

1. What is the news report mainly about?

2. What did the United States do to help refugee children? [3] Eleven Taliban fighters attacked an important airport in southern Afghanistan early Tuesday, killing at least 50 people, Afghan officials said. The Afghan Defense Ministry said 38 civilians, 10 soldiers and two police officers were killed.

The attack on the Kandahar Air Field lasted 20 hours, reported The Washington Post. 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. [4] Taliban attacks have grown in number and strength in Afghanistan this year after the withdrawal last year of combat troops from other countries.

3. What did Taliban fighters do early Tuesday?

4. What led to the growth of Taliban attacks in Afghanistan? [5]The Australian state of Tasmania is considering raising the legal age for buying cigarettes to at least 21 and potentially as high as 2

5. If the plan goes ahead it will give Tasmania some of the toughest tobacco laws in the world. The current legal age to purchase, possess or smoke cigarettes in all Australian states is 18. Critics have complained the proposed restrictions would be a violation of civil liberties. Australia already has some of the world ’s toughest anti-smoking policies. It introduced so-called plain packaging four years ago, [6] where packs are colored an identical olive brown and are covered in health warnings that include pictures. The country is also one of the most expensive places in the world to buy cigarettes --- from around $15 a pack.

Parts of the world already ban cigarette sales to those under 21, including Kuwait, and, from next year, Hawaii. Around on in five Tasmanians smoke, with the vast majority taking up the habit before the age of 25. [7] Tasmanian government

The number of girls married in African is expected to double in the next 35 years, experts say. (1)That means almost half, or 310 million girls, by 2050 will be married before they reach adulthood, says a United Nation’s report. The African Union says it wants to end child marriage in African.

Delegates at a summit in Zambia are expected to set 18 years old as the lowest legal age for marriage across the continent. Marriage before age 18 is already against the law in most African countries.Yet the UN says more than 125 million African women and girls alive today were married before their 18th birthday. Experts say most were given to men in traditional or religious unions in violation of the law.

(2)African Union chairwoman Nkosozana Dlamini Zuma says local culture that undervalues girls and women is to blame. Poverty and lack of education are also responsible, experts say.

1.What do we learn from the United Nation’s report?

2.What is the reason for child marriage in Africa?

(3)Waste products from a popular alcoholic drink could be used in the future to make biofuel. Researchers say the new fuel, based on whisky, could reduce demand for oil.They say using less oil could cut pollution that studies have linked to climate change.

Scotland is the largest producer of whisky in the world. And a Scottish professor has found how to take the waste products from distilling whisky and turn them into a form of alcohol called biobutanol. Biobutanol can be used as fuel. Whisky comes from grain, such as corn and wheat. Martin Tangney is director of the Biofuel Research Center at Napier University in Edinburgh. He says less than 10 percent of what comes out can be considered whisky. (4)The rest is mainly one of two unwanted products: strong beer and wheat.Tangney says the two byproducts can be produced to create a new material: biobutanol.

3.What is news report mainly about?

4.What are the unwanted products in making whisky?

For several years, human resources director Pete Tapaskar says it’s been a challenge to fill all the jobs at his suburban Chicago-based technology company. (5)Getting high skilled people is still a challenge. Elizabeth Sue is principal policy analyst for the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, who studies Chicago’s recent immigration trends. She said “They are slowly moving into the south, especially Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia. (6)What we are seeing right now is a substantially decreased total of international in-migrations.Prior to the recession we were

Model Test 2

between 50 and 60 thousand most years. Now, since 2010, we’ve been at about 23- to 24-thousand international in-migrations on a net basis.”S he says that dramatic drop—as much as two-thirds some years—contributes to Chicago’s overall still population growth. Tapaskar says there are many reasons why immigrants choose to live in Southern states instead of Chicago. (7)“The environment there is ideal for starting a business, could be the taxes there are low, and employers are getting a lot of benefits from the state government.”

But Tapaskar says one thing that could bring new immigrants to Chicago is increasing the number of work visas that would attract the highly skilled tech workers his business needs.

5.What is the problem for the technology companies in Chicago?

6.What do we learn about international in-migrations in Chicago?

7.Why do immigrants choose Southern states instead of Chicago?

[1] In a statement, the US president says he is taking the action, because the conflict in Darfur threatens the national security and foreign policy of the United States. The asset freeze is being imposed on four Sudanese identified by the U.N. Security Council as being involved in organizing and carrying out cruel and violent actions in Darfur. The president’s order comes days before rallies are planned in Washington and throughout the United States to protest the three-year war in Darfur.

[2]Celebrities such as Academy Award winning actor George Clooney are scheduled to speak at the rally. Clooney, who just returned from a trip to the Darfur region, told reporters in Washington the world’s attention need to be focused on what he called the “first massive murder of the 21st century.”

1. Why is the U.S. president taking actions in Darfur? B

2. Who is scheduled to speak at the rally? D

When the top U.S. oil companies announced huge increases in profits this week, many consumer raised complaints. At a time when American motorists are paying record-level prices for gasoline, [3]some in the U.S. Congress think the oil company profits should be examined closely. The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is seeking tax return information on top U.S. oil companies from the Internal Revenue Service and some politicians are calling for a windfall profits tax.

Of course, oil companies oppose such a move, citing similar or even higher profit increases in other industries, such as real estate, that have not caused controversy. [4]Oil industry analysts, however, say a

windfall profits tax might be counterproductive. Bob Tippee, editor of Houston-based Oil and Gas Journal, says large oil company profits could benefit consumers in the end.

3. What are the reactions to the oil companies’ huge increases in profits? D

4. What do the oil industry analysts think ofthe windfall profits tax? A

An earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale has hit northeast India, near its borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, killing at least nine people. [5]The quake hit at 4:35 am local time about 29 km northwest of Imphal, the capital of Manipur state, according to the US Geological Survey. Strong quake have been felt across the region. The earthquake was originally reported to have measured 6.8 on the Richter scale. India’s Meteorological Department said it struck at a depth of 17 km.

The earthquake cracked walls and [6]a newly-built six-storey building in Imphal collapsed, police said. Other buildings were also reported to have been damaged. At least six people have been killed in Manipur and more than 30 injured, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. In the neighboring Bangladesh, three people were reported dead while dozens were being treated in hospital for injuries sustained during the quake.

[7]A 23-year-old man died when he suffered a stroke after the quake while two others died of heart attacks, news agency AFP quoted police as saying. A university student, who jumped from a fourth-floor balcony to escape, was among the severely wounded, the agency added.

5. When did the earthquake happen? B

6. What do we know about the earthquake from the news report? C

7. Why did the 23-year-old man die? D

The number of Americans over the age of 65 is expected to double between now and 2030. This next generation of retirees will be the healthiest, best educated, and most wealthy in American history. (1)But many of them won’t have a retirement benefit their parents’ generation fought hard to get. It is something known as a defined-benefit plan, or “pension”. Retired workers who have a pension continue to be paid a certain percentage of their highest annual salary-usually anywhere from one to three percent-multiplied by the number of years they worked for the company. Pensions first became popular during World War II, when a federally-approved wage-freeze meant unions had to negotiate for retirement benefits, inside of pay increases. (2)Pensions reached the height of their popularity in the late 1970s, when more than 60 percent of Americans had one.

1.What problem does the next generation of retiree have? C

2.When did pension reach the height of their popularity? A

U.S. government health and safety officials are investigating the cause of the recent explosion at a West Virginia coal mine, which killed 12 miners. (3)The accident was apparently an error in an industry, which has prided itself on miner safety at a time of extraordinary expansion. Mine companies operate in 27 states, from West Virginia in the east to Montana in the west, producing a total of about one billion tons a year, or more than a third of the world’s coal supply. The U.S. economy is dependent on coal pr oduction. Coal-fired power plants generate about 50 percent of the nation’s electricity. More than half the nation’s coal is mined underground by thousands of men and women who daily risk injury and death. (4)But the occupation has become much safer since the late 1960s, when the U.S. Congress passed laws requiring federal mine inspections.

3. What do we learn about the recent explosion at a coalmine? B

4.What made the mining industry safer in the late 1960s? B

When it comes to dieting, los ing weight fast holds some appeal. Maybe that’s why U.S. News & World Report has added a Fast Weight-loss Diet category to its annual rankings of best diet plans. And one of the diets that comes out on top is the Health Management Resources (HMR) program.

(5)HMR is a meal replacement diet that can be done on your own at home or under medical supervision. Instead of made-at-home meals, dieters can order low-calorie milk, soups, nutrition bars and multigrain cereal.

The U.S. News reviewers say (6)the plus side to the HMR diet is its quick-start option and the convenience of having meals delivered to you. The down side is “the milk lacks variety,” and it’s tough to eat out while on this diet.

(7) “A common misunderstanding is that losing weight quickly is n ot healthy, not sustainable, and will just lead to future weight re-gain,” wrote Carol Addy, the chief medical officer at HMR, in a release. But she says, to the country, “numerous studies demonstrate that following a lifestyle change program which promote fast initial weight loss can result in better long-term success.

5. What is the HMR program? B

6. What is the advantage of HMR program? C

7. What’s the common misunderstanding about losing weight fast? C

Two months ago, Zogby International, a Washington-based research organization, conducted a public

opinion poll in six Arab countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. the respondents, randomly chosen from different neighborhoods in various cities of each country, [1] were asked to give their opinion on a number of issues, including concerns facing their country and their personal life, economic development, employment opportunities and the likelihood of peace in the Middle East. [2]Overall, respondents expressed more satisfaction with their lives and more optimism about their future than they did in the poll conducted ten years ago. In Lebanon, both satisfaction and optimism have doubled. This is not surprising, says James Rauch, a professor at the University of California. “The Lebanese have experienced an enormous change now with the end of the Syrian occupation. They would have good reasons to be optimistic.”

1.What were the respondents asked to comment on? A

2.What do we learn about the result of the poll? B

[3]In October the Ugandan opposition leader, Kizza Basigye, returned to Kanpala to prepare for the presidential elections next year. Three weeks later he was arrested. The Ugandan government says he must answer the charges, but his supporters say it’s an attempt by Ugandan President Museveni to prevent Dr. Basigye running against him. [4]The incident is threatening to darken the country’s first multi-party elections in two decades. Western nations which provide essential economic support to Uganda have held up Uganda as a role model in the region, opposition leaders are calling on them to take a stand. In this edition of analysis, Lucy Williamson looks at whether Uganda’s relationship with its donors is feeling the strain.

3. Why did Kizza Basigye return to Kampala? B

4. What is the consequence of Basigye’s incident? A

At the end of every year, U.S. weather researchers look back at what the nation’s weather was like, and what they saw last year was weird. [5]The year was hot and annoyed by all number of extreme weather events that did a lot of expensive damage.

December, in fact, was a fitting end.

“This is the first time in our 121-year period that a month has been both the wettest and the warmest month on record,” says Jake Crouch, a weather researcher. The rest of the year was very wet and hot too, he says—the second-hottest period on record for the U.S.

[6]The cause: a warming climate and a super strong EI Nino. EI Nino is a weather phenomenon out of the ocean that hits every few years and affects weather globally.

Together, climate and a very strong EI Nino pushed the weather in the U.S. as warm as its 20th century average.

And even when the atmosphere is only that much warmer, it holds more moisture, [7]leading to record snow in the Northeast last February and March, and record rain in the South and Midwest.

5. What was weather in the U.S. like last year? D

6. What made last year’s weather so weird? B

7. What happened in the Northeast last February and March? A

(1)掌握新闻报道的结构新闻报道往往采用“倒金字塔体”。所谓“倒金字塔体”，也称为倒途法，即按新闻事实重要性的程度由要点到细节逐步扩展，安排全文。把最重要的事实置于全文的第一个句子中，这个句子被称为新闻导语(the news lead)。它告知听众最关心最重要的事实，如事件(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)，以及原因和方式(why，how，即新闻导语包含了我们常说的五个WH和一个H构成的“新闻六大要素”。新闻导语是整条新闻的高度浓缩形式，听懂了导语，也就听懂了新闻的主要内容。当然，由于新闻报道的侧重点不同，有时新闻导语也可能只包含其中部分要素 (2)扩大词汇量，熟记新闻报道中的常用词汇 ①普通词汇。尽管新闻报道所使用的词汇量很大，但是语言的基本词汇是稳定的。如VOA 广播中的special English(特别节目)的新闻报告中常用词汇约1 500个，这的重复率在报道中是很高的，如cease-fire，presidential election等政治性词汇，finance banking group等经济词汇以ace shuttle，robot等科技词汇。而新闻英语中的特有用语就更具稳定性。若能掌握这些词汇，再加上一些听力技巧，基本听懂新闻报道就不是件难事了。 ②专有词汇。新闻报道是有关世界范围的最新消息，因在报道中常涉及许多人名、地名、国名。除此之外，新闻报道中还常常出现一些河流、山脉及名胜古迹等专有名词熟悉这些专有名词可使听者更快更准确地了解所听的新闻 (3)掌握一定数量的缩略语(acronym) 由于新闻报道时间的限制，不少机构的名称常采用其缩略形式，即由该名称中数个词的首字母的大写形式组成，如：PLO是the Palestine Liberation Organization的缩写形式。需要注意的是，听者不仅要了解这些缩略语的确切含义，而且还应知道它们的正确读音。 (4)掌握数字的不同读法 在新闻报道中经常出现许多数字，大到几十亿，上百亿，小到分数或小数。尤其对一些多位数的数字，要想立刻听准这些数字的确不容易，其主要难点在于位数过多。因此在听多位数的数字时，应对billion(十亿)、million(百万)、thousand(千)、hundred(百)等词尤为重视。同时，要注意一个数字的多种读法，如播音员把两个足球队比赛结果2：0读作two to nothing而不是读成two to nought或two to zero． (5)掌握循序渐进，从慢到快的原则 目前，许多外台(如BBC，VOA)的新闻英语报道有特别英语(Special English)和标准英语(Standard English)两种。所谓Special English也可称为慢速英语，即新闻播放的语速较慢。

新闻听力技巧

新闻部分听力技巧： 一．新闻报道3大特点 根据西方新闻理论，新闻通常由三个部分组成，及标题（headline）,导语（lead）和正文（body）。了解新闻报道的基本问题特征，能帮助考生更好地听懂英语新闻。下面主要从新闻报道的结构，句法和所用词汇等方面来简要分析新闻报道的文体特征。 1.结构特点 新闻种类繁多，但就其写作形式与结构而言，则常用倒金字塔结构和时间顺序结构这两种写作方式。 A.倒金字塔结构（the Inverted Pyramid Form） 也称倒叙法。即指在新闻报道中把最重要的新闻事实放在整个报道的开头有，作为 导语（lead），把次要的我新闻事实放在导语之后，把最不重要的新闻事实放在整个 报道的末尾，这样就是倒金字塔结构。大部分新闻都采用此结构。 导语是新闻最重要的内容或事件的概述，只要听懂了导语，新闻概要就掌握得八九 不离十。听新闻要抓住6要素，即who,what,why,when,where,how，一般情况下导语 中应当回答这6要素的2要素。 B.时间顺序结构（the Chronological Style） 就是根据新闻事实发生的时间先后顺序报道。这一结构多用于体育比赛，文艺演出，和犯罪案件等。这种结构的新闻报道通常在整篇报道的结尾才给出新闻事实的结 果。 解题时注意先审题，听清第一句话，注意细节信息。去除听力中的“回读”习惯，忽略不熟悉的人名地名，解题时要先细节后归纳。 2.句法特点 就新闻报道的句法结构而言，一般使用结构简短的句子，但有时为了在一个句子中包含尽可能多的新闻事实或信息，采用合并句子或加入插入语的方式，即将原来两句或两句以上方可表达的事实合并在一句里，组成语法结构复杂，松散，冗长的句子。 A.含宾语从句的复合句 这类复合句大都接在say, tell, ask, report, quote, deny, confirm等一类动词后的间接引 语，所表达的内容往往比较重要，许多对细节考查的题目就针对此句式 Eg. American Coast Guard officials in Florida say they have returned to Cuba a group of would-be migrants B.含定语从句的复合句 此类句型通常结构复杂，信息量大，是新闻听力的难点。对于这类疑难句，考生应在平时报刊阅读以及听力训练中注意抓住句子的主题部分，即主，谓，宾，自爱此基础上理解句子的附加成分，明确他们与主体部分之间的关系。 Eg: they had to remain at the abandoned base where there were only flour and cooking fat. C.同位语及插入语 新闻英语除了文字简练的特点之外，最显著的一个特点就是要尽可能多地传递信息，因此不可避免的大量使用同位语。如在新闻中提到人就必须根据需要交代与该新闻有关的他的职务，年龄，专业等，如提到组织结构就必须交代与该新闻相关的地点，性质等以便听者更好地了解。
