原文

Passage Three

A six-year-old boy has been found alive after spending four days and five nights in an icebox that was buried under tons of ruins in Thursday's big earthquake. The boy Tom was found early yesterday in the village of Sem as rescuers were working to pull his father out of the ruins of their home. Hearing a faint cry of "Get me out. Get me out", rescuers dug down another one point five meters and found the boy in the icebox. He was pronounced in a good condition, suffering only four or five slight wounds. Tom's eight brothers and sisters died in the earthquake which officials say may have killed as many as 50,000 people, By Sunday foreign doctors were leaving the earthquake areas as hope had faded of finding any more survivors.

Questions

18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

18. What happened to the boy in earthquake?

19. How many days had passed before the boy was rescued?

20. How did the boy survive the big earthquake?

参考答案与分析

18 B 这题的考点在He was pronounced in a good condition, suffering only four or five slight wounds. 这篇文章的考法不大符合顺序原则，首先上来考了靠文章结尾的这一句。这里pronounce是一个关键提示词 据称……。他据称情况非常良好，仅仅只有四、五处受了一点轻伤。 “only”这种也是很关键的提示词。“slight wounds”和选项B是一个一模一样的原词复现，毫无疑问就应该是B了。

19 A 这题返上去考了文章的第一句话A six-year-old boy has been found alive after spending four days and five nights in an icebox that was buried under tons of ruins in Thursday's big earthquake. 关键是“four days and five nights” 四天五夜 也就是差不多四天选A, 应该没什么问题

20 B 这题其实还是从第一句的“in an icebox” 就可以选出正确答案B。如果这一处没有听到后面还有一句rescuers dug down another one point five meters and found the boy in the icebox. 这一句也很清晰的指示了正确答案。in an icebox是和原文一样的原词复现。

这其实是一篇新闻稿，新闻稿类型的文章在四级中考的不算多。相对来说六级考得多一点。四级历史上作为语段题考过两次这是其中一次。还有一篇在以后的练习中会给大家练习的。我们就先来总结一下新闻稿类型的语段有什么特点，该如何应对。

新闻稿类型文章的特点及解题思路

新闻稿的选项特点

1．选项具有时效性

2．选项具有灾难性

新闻稿的文章特点

1．文章叙事的结构有两种：金字塔型和倒金字塔型。四级听力语段一般为金字塔型，即最重要的放在最前面，导语引领全文

2．注重实效性，在原文和选项中都体现出刚发生的感觉，有时还会涉及将来时

3．内容一般是两大类：天灾，人祸

新闻稿可能出现的考点

1．考导语即第一句话

2．靠宾语 即语段中线类似 It is said / reported / pronounces / declared /……/ that …… 这样的句子，那么“that”后面的句子是极有可能是考点。

3．考查四方面的信息：时间、地点、人物、数字

4．考转折

5．考原因
