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。

请注意，文章和论点仅供参考，若对于新闻背景不甚了解，可以按照主题的中文解释，配合时间，进行搜索式查阅。
灾难新闻类：

专四对于天灾人祸的兴趣是很浓的，基本每年都有。大家需要注意的核心是：death toll（死亡人数）the injured（受伤人数），the missing（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 Cross 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 passengers 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 possible 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，05、06、07在连续考察海难新闻。

偷渡 illegal emigrants 2008-4
About 150 illegal immigrants have drowned after their boat sank off the Libyan shore while en route to Italy. Most of the illegal immigrants died after the boat capsized in the Mediterranean on June 7. The Libyan authorities have recovered 40 bodies but it's difficult to identify them.

火车脱轨 train derail 2008-4-29
Chinese railway authorities confirmed that the death toll is at least 70 after an early Monday train collision in east China's Shandong Province. More than 400 passengers were hospitalized including 4 foreigners. When the accident occurred, the rear part of the train from Beijing, coded T195 derailed and hit train 5034 from Yantai, and caused the front part of the latter train to derail, too. Initial investigation （初步调查）says the accident was caused by human error. Two railway officials have been sacked after the accident.
专四没有考过中国的灾难新闻，暂且把它看成一篇通用类型的新闻模板。

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：
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.

The Seventh Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM 7) was held in Beijing on 24 and 25 October 2008. The Meeting was the first gathering of the leaders of 45 members of ASEM since its second round of enlargement（扩容）.

国际争端新闻：

俄乌斗气，最终和解 Russia, Ukraine sign 10-year gas deal 2009-1-20
Russia 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 Russian 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 Russia 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

Tension in Mideast continues as Israeli missiles struck on Gaza Strip for the sixth straight day on Monday. A Palestinian militant of al-Aqsa Brigades（阿尔阿克萨旅，是指巴勒斯坦民族解放运动--法塔赫/FATEH的一个分支） was killed. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told members of his Party that overall offensive will be continued. On the other side, Hamas senior leader Mahmoud Zahar said his group has been in touch with an unidentified third party to discuss all the issue. Early Monday morning, Israel Defense Forces withdrew its ground troops from the Gaza Strip. The recent offensive in the region has killed more than 100 Palestinians. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice kicked off a new Middle East visit on Tuesday, in a bid to help revive the halted Palestinian-Israeli talks.
