资料二： 新闻听力重点
以下文章中将包含12篇比较符合专四新闻考法的新闻，时间涵盖2008年4月至2009年3月。其中有5篇来源于我的补充讲义，7篇是最新的总结。重点词汇处，我会用黑体标出，需要强记。另外，不同主题的新闻有不同的考点方向，每个主题前我会说明。 灾难新闻类：
death toll（死亡人数），the injured（受伤人数），the miing（失踪人数），casualty（伤亡人数）以及cause（起因）和route（路线）
空难 air crash：2009-3-23 A FedEx cargo plane（货机）, crash-lands（迫降）, at Japan's Narita International Airport（日本成田国际机场）..Red Cro officials say both pilots were killed.Television footage showed the plane explode, shortly after one of its wings, clipped the ground.Reports say the flight from Guangzhou, China, was trying to land in windy conditions. 海难 ferry sink 2009-1-11 An Indonesian ferry carrying 250 paengers and 17crew sank after being battered by a large wave in bad weather in the country's east on Sunday, officials said.18 people including one of the crew had been rescued, said Bambang Ervan, a spokesman for the Transport Ministry.Transport Minister Jusman Syafi'i Djamal said 150 people had been taken off the ferry, but their condition was unknown and he gave no further details.The discrepancy（差别） in the number of poible survivors could not immediately be clarified.海难的考点很灵活。可以是自然原因引起的，比如storm, wave, typhoon, 内因也可以为超载-overload，或者常考的非法移民illegal immigrant事件。值得注意的是，0
5、0
6、07在连续考察海难新闻。

恐怖袭击 terrorist attacks 2008-11-27 恐怖主义的新闻除了要注意时间地点和破坏结果外，幕后黑手也是重要信息。巴基斯坦的恐怖袭击数量之多，令人咂舌。仅仅09年三个月以来，就有十几起，具体请见：http://news.sina.com.cn/z/bjstjxyx/index.shtml Four top police officials were among the 10 policemen killed as security forces took on terrorists here in the early hours of Thursday following a series of attacks in this India's financial capital, Mumbai, which killed at least 80 people and injured 250 others, authorities said.India has suffered a wave of bomb attacks in recent years.Most have been blamed on Islamist militants（伊斯兰士兵）, although police have also suspected Hindu extremists（极端分子） of carrying out some bombings. 国际会议类新闻：

国际争端新闻：
俄乌斗气，最终和解 Ruia, Ukraine sign 10-year gas deal 2009-1-20 Ruia and Ukraine signed a 10-year gas supply deal Monday to clear the way for a prompt resumption（重启）of supplies to a freezing Europe, cut off for nearly two weeks by a dispute between the ex-Soviet states（前苏联国家）.Under the deal, Ukraine will buy Ruian gas at a 20 percent discount to European market prices in 2009, while Kiev（基辅，乌克兰首都） agreed to retain preferential transit fees for Ruia this year before both sides switch to a market-based price formula from 2010.A higher gas price could cripple Ukraine's economy, already hit hard by the slowdown.But analysts and officials said a substantial drop in market prices expected this year would bring down the average 2009 price to levels more affordable for Kiev.
巴以冲突 Conflicts Between Israel and Palestine 2008-5-2 这个地区的是一个敏感地区。2008年12月份，以色列对加沙地带发动了最大规模的地面进攻。死伤千余。此新闻完全可以看成是12月进攻的翻版新闻。进攻-口水仗-谈判-外界干预。

韩美牛肉争端 beef disputes between US and ROK 2008-5 韩美牛肉争端的表面是民众对于疯牛病的担忧，深层次是全球贸易和本国保护主义的冲突。请主义本条新闻的大意。
U.S and South Korean officials have agreed to continue talks over the resumption of American beef imports in spite of no progre in the current round of negotiations.Last-minute schedule changes mean U.S.Trade Representative Spokeswoman Gretchen Hamel and South Korean Trade Minister Kim Jong-hoon will have the more time need to find a mutually acceptable solution.South Korea lifted its intermittent ban on American beef imports early this month as it struggles to ratify a sweeping free trade agreement with Washington.However, following recent large-scale protests against the import of U.S.beef, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak suggests his country postpone the restart of U.S.beef import. 国内民生
油价变化 Oil Price Change 油价今年主要以跌为主。这是去年发改委在上涨最高峰时的一次动作，请注意不同油品的数据。
China's top economic planner has announced the country will raise the prices of gasoline, diesel oil, aviation kerosene and electricity, revealing an unprecedented broad plan to raise energy prices.Beginning Friday, the benchmark gasoline and diesel oil retail prices will be marked up by 1,000 Yuan (144.9 U.S.dollars) per ton, with the price of aviation kerosene up by 1,500 Yuan per ton.The prices of natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, however, would be left unchanged, according to the National Development and Reform Commiion (NDRC)(发改委).The price rises also translate into mark-ups of 0.8 yuan and 0.92 yuan per liter, the measurement used at service stations in China, for gasoline and diesel oil respectively.
