新闻英语听力材料
新闻英语与较为口语化的影视剧英语不同，新闻英语用词比较正式，且文体非常接近书面英语，这种形式的听力从内容上来看与四六级雅思托福等考试的要求相契合。因此，我们可以将新闻英语作为平时听力练习以及备考材料。下面是yjbys小编为大家带来的新闻英语听力材料，欢迎阅读。
新闻英语听力材料 1
1.CNN Student News
如果你觉得听VOA和BBC太难，CNN Student News可能会是适合你的新闻英语入门材料。CNN Student News(现在已经改名为 CNN 10)是 CNN 面向美国中学生的一档新闻节目，它从时事政治到生活琐事，包罗万象，语速、词汇量适中，适合中级学习者进行提高。CNN官方网上对这档节目的介绍是：
CNN Student News is a ten-minute, commercial-free, daily news program designed for middle and high school classes. It is produced by the journalists at CNN. This award-winning show and its companion website are available free of charge throughout the school year.
CNN官方网上每个工作日都会更新一期节目，每期节目都是视频+文本形式(视频形式更加便于学习者理解新闻内容)，长度在10分钟左右：
CNN Student News 的词汇量要求大概是6000-9000，一般来说，只要有大学六级水平，一般都能比较顺畅地听懂大部分内容。我们可以使用 CNN Student News 进行精听练习：先看一遍视频，了解新闻大概意思，然后听第二遍，争取听懂所有能听懂的内容，然后对照着文本再听一遍，找出听不懂的地方并学习。每期节目整个流程下来大概耗时五十分钟左右，长期坚持下来对听力提升帮助会很大。
2.60-Second Science
60-Second Science 是科学美国人(Scientific American)推出的一个栏目，主要用于报道最新的科技发展新闻，以及这些科技发展会对人们的生活造成的影响。60-Second Science 每周推出两到三期，每期听力的长度在两分钟左右，并且配有听力原文。
60-Second Science 的难度要比上面提到的 CNN Student News 高，听力中经常会出现一些科技名词，比如 microbial, molecule, asthma, cardiovascular 等，但它同样可以作为科技类新闻的精听材料。经常听科学60秒有助于我们积累科技类词汇的表达。
3.NPR News
NPR 即 National Public Radio，是美国国家公共电台的简称。NPR 节目以新闻及综述为主，是美国国内收听率最高的广播电台，面向美国民众广播。NPR News 是其中的一个栏目，主要报道美国国内以及全球发生的'新闻事件。NPR News 每期的长度在3-5分钟，语速与CNN Student News 接近，并同样带有听力文本。
由于NPR News 是面向英语母语者播放，它的难度同样会比 CNN Student News 要高。同时，新闻中还会出现 NPR 记者在全球各地的连线采访对话，会带有各种口音，这一点也与单一主持人播报的 CNN Student News 不同。
4.AP News Minute
AP的全称是 The Associated Press, 即美国联合通讯社，AP News Minute 是它推出的一个一分钟新闻栏目，报道在美国以及全球发生的新闻事件。
5.BBC World Service
BBC World Service 是 BBC 推出的24小时国际广播节目，内容涵盖了实时新闻、访谈、新闻分析等。总体难度会比 CNN Student News 要高一点，且由于这是实时广播节目，没有对应的听力文本。我们可以将它作为泛听材料学习。
在手机上的 BBC News 应用上也可以找到入口：
如果需要在手机上收听这些材料，可以使用一些资源聚合类应用，比如欧路词典的每日英语听力应用。
这款应用对各大新闻英语资源做了聚合以及归类，可以免去下载一堆App的麻烦，同时，它对这些新闻也提供了对应的听力原文(部分还有译文)。手机端查词会调用欧路词典，同时还可以对听力原文做笔记，可以作为日常练习听力的一个工具。
最后值得注意的一点是，虽然目前市面上有很多听力材料，但练习的时候不要贪多，选择自己最喜欢的一种坚持下去就行。如果选择了 CNN Student News，就坚持听下去，而不能三天两头换材料。每一款材料坚持听下去都可以给人带来巨大的进步。

Hannah Godefa is just 16 years old, but she is busy defending the right of all girls and women to be educated. The young woman serves as a national goodwill ambassador to Ethiopia for UNICEF -- the United Nations Childrens Fund. And she is urging the UN to make a workable plan to end the discrimination that keeps girls out of classrooms.
Last week, for example, she spoke in Geneva to the committee on elimination of discrimination against women. She talked about increasing girls chances for education and protecting them within education from sexual and other abuses.
UNICEF national ambassador to Ethiopia Hannah Godefa
Hannah Godefa was born in Canada to Ethiopian parents. She was appointed to her UNICEF job in January of 2013. Since then, she has visited Ethiopia and other countries in Africa.
She describes the purpose of her work as speaking out for the millions of girls who are not attending school. Hannah notes that some girls do not have a school available to attend. And there are other reasons they can not get an education.
"Girls also face a lot of responsibilities that, I say, discourage them from attending school - lots of family responsibilities," Godefa said.
The young UNICEF ambassador believes cultural barriers and economic considerations also limit girls chances. Sometimes, parents must choose whether to send their boys or girls to school. Hannah Godefa says many families value girls as workers.
"So, all the odds are stacked against them. That is why we have to target them and support them and protect them," Godefa said.
Hannah became interested in childrens education when she was only 7 years old. She was visiting her grandmother in rural Ethiopia at the time. Hannah became friends with a local girl and wanted to keep communicating with her when she returned home.
But Hannahs parents told her that the other girls do not have pencils or paper to write letters. Their daughter reacted by establishing the Pencil Mountain project. She says the project has provided more than 500,000 objects including writing instruments for use in schools.
"So, things beyond pencils, like other basic school supplies as well as text books for second-generation universities, some of the newer universities that have been constructed in Ethiopia, " Godefa said.
The project has also provided wheelchairs for disable students. Nowadays, as a teenager, Hannah does a lot of public speaking. She spoke at the International Day of the Girl Child at UNICEF New York Headquarters in October 2013. She made the presentation a month before her sixteenth birthday.
She also acted as moderator or leader at a UNICEF event last December. American singer Katy Perry accepted responsibilities as UNICEFs latest goodwill ambassador at that event. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was among world leaders attending the discussion.

If threes a crowd, a new planet recently discovered orbiting a sunlike star is really cluttering up its neighborhood.
The new planet is the fourth Jupiter-like world to be found around the young star HR 8799, astronomers announced today. The same team had previously found the other three planets in 2008, when they took a direct picture of the star system.
Of the more than 500 planets discovered to date outside our solar system, most have been found via indirect methods, such as looking for planets gravitational tugs on their host stars or for dips in starlight when planets pass in front of their hosts.
The new planet was also found in a direct image of the HR 8799 system. But based on the masses of the planets and their distances from the star, the fourth world challenges current theories of planet formation, according to the study authors.
"This is the first multiplanet system directly imaged so far, so its quite a feat," said lead study author Christian Marois, an astronomer at the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics in Canada.
"But we are now stuck with four planets [and] we cannot explain their formation and their current locations by any of our models."
Fourth Planet Too Close to Its Parent?
The previously known planets around HR 8799 are about five, seven, and ten times Jupiters mass. They orbit between 2.2 billion miles (3.5 billion kilometers) from the star—roughly the same as Neptunes distance from the sun—and 6.3 billion miles (10.1 billion kilometers), or almost twice Plutos distance.
The most distant planet circles just inside a dusty disk similar to that produced by the solar systems Kuiper belt, a region of small, icy bodies that includes Pluto.
The whole HR 8799 system is estimated to be no more than 60 million years old, so the planets are still glowing with heat from their formation. This heat signature is what betrayed the planets positions in the previous infrared images of the star.
Astronomers found the fourth planet using the Keck II telescope on the peak of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The instrument is equipped with a special near-infrared imager and adaptive optics to eliminate the blurring effect of Earths atmosphere.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. I wont take much of your time. Jayal motors has decided to move into the export business. Now, we weren’t sure till late yesterday afternoon about this decision. I didnt tell you anything before that because we had to make research on the market first.

Now you all know the situation on the home market. We’re a small company. The big companies are moving into the provinces and putting small firms like us out of business. We have got to expand, and we cant afford to lose this chance. We cant afford to make any mistakes.

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It might be walking, cycling, or swimming , or in winter , skating or skiing . It might be a game of some kind —football, hockey, golf or tennis., or it might be mountaineering . Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship , and to take risks on high mountains ? This astonishment it probably caused by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team sport”. We should be mistaken in this . There are , it is true , no “matcher” between “ teams” of climbers , however, when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend , there is obviously teamwork .

Hints:EuropeBritainFranceGermanyPoland UkraineCarboniferousfuelthe Industrial Revolutionpowerhouse.
It took a ten-meter layer of fallen rain forest to make just a one-meter seam of coal. When you consider the depth of all the seams in all the coalfields worked in Europe, from Britain through to northern France and Germany, Poland and Ukraine, the immense scale of Carboniferous forests becomes clear.
Coal fuelled one of the greatest transformations that Europe has ever seen. Its presence all across the continent was a vital component in making Europe the cradle of the Industrial Revolution and ultimately turned it into the economic powerhouse it is today. The ancient past can directly shape the present. Europe is now the most urbanized and industrialized continent on the globe, largely thanks to its position on the equator 300 million years ago.

I hope your Thursday is going well so far. I`m Carl Azuz. And we are glad to have you watching CNN STUDENT NEWS. Recent swings in the U.S. stock market are violent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, one indicator of how the whole market is doing, closed down 173 points yesterday. At one point, it had dropped 460 points. We`ve told you how when investors are afraid, they tend to sell, dropping the value of stocks in the market. What are they afraid of?For one thing, Germany. Europe`s largest economy isn`t doing well. For another American retail sales decreases, and so did prices. Those are bad signs for the economy`s health.
希望你的周四现在过得还不错。我是Carl Azuz，欢迎收看CNN学生新闻。最近美国股市波动剧烈，代表整个工业市场运转状况的道琼斯工业平均指数昨天下跌了173个点。在某方面其指数已经下跌了460个点。我们在之前说过，当投资者感觉到市场危机时就会把手中的股票抛售，这样就会对股票价格造成贬值。他们害怕的是什么呢?其中一个就是德国，欧洲最大的经济体现状并不太理想。另一个就是美国零售价格的下降，还有市场价格的下跌。这些都对经济的良好发展有着重大的影响。
Another reason investors are fearful, the possible spread of the deadly Ebola virus in the U.S. A second nurse at a Dallas Texas Hospital has contracted the disease. Like Nina Pham, whom we told you about earlier, 29-year old Amber Vincent helped treat a Liberian man who died last week from Ebola. Vincent had traveled to Ohio recently. The CDC says, she wasn`t officially allowed to travel on a commercial plane, but it says the risk to others is low since Vincent didn`t have symptoms when she went.
还有一个令投资者感到害怕的就是埃博拉疫情在美国的传播。德克萨斯州达拉斯当地一家医院再又一名护士感染埃博拉病毒。就像Nina Pham，我们之前报道过，29岁的Amber Vincent也曾救治过上周感染埃博拉去世的利比亚人。Vincent最近去过俄亥俄州，美国疾病与预防中心称她并没有允许乘坐商业飞机旅行，但称Vincent在出发时没有出现该病症所以感染其他人的.风险也会比较小。
Meanwhile, America`s largest nurses` union is strongly criticizing health officials, including the CDC over how they`ve handled Ebola. It says the Dallas nurses didn`t have the supplies or the training they needed and that they feel lied to and deserted to handle their own situation.
同时，美国最大的护士士联盟强烈抨击卫生官员，包括疾病与预防中心，就其应对埃博拉疫情处理方式展开抨击。他们称达拉斯护士并没有得到设备提供，或者必要的训练并且感觉受骗了，自己健康情况并未得到保证。
The CDC says it`s committed to the nurses` safety and giving them what they need to safely manage Ebola patients.
疾病与预防控制中心表示他们致力于保障护士的安全而努力工作，并且向他们提供了救治埃博拉患者所有需要的设备要求。
Also, President Obama postponed a Democratic campaign trip yesterday. Instead, he met with cabinet agencies to discuss the government`s response to Ebola.
同时，Obama总统在昨天推迟了民主竞选行程。相反，他与内阁机构就政府应对埃博拉行动进行了讨论。
One thing that`s spreading faster than the disease is the fear of it.
该疾病快速的传播速度令人感到恐惧。
A scene out of a disaster movie. First responders in hazmat gear board an Emirates` flight from Dubai and check five passengers with flu-like symptoms. None met the criteria for Ebola or had visited Africa.
就像灾难电影里出现的画面一样。在从迪拜出发的酋长国航班在经过危险品安全检查时查出五名乘客有类似流感病症，但是其中任何人都没有出现符合埃博拉疫情病症，也没有去过非洲国家。
At LAX, 40 firefighters respond to a passenger with flu-like symptoms. But that`s where the scare ends.
在洛杉矶，40名消防队员前往应对出现疑似流感病症乘客，但是最后却是虚惊一场。
It has turned out that there was some miscommunication that this patient had been to the continent of Africa, but not near West Africa.
结果是一场误会，这个乘客只是到过非洲大陆，但距离西非国家很远。
Ebola has not, repeat, not, spread through the U.S., but fear certainly has. In Nashville, Tennessee, a sick passenger was taken of the plane that originated in Dallas. The patient has no contact with anyone with Ebola or traveled to Africa.
埃博拉并没有，重复一遍，并没有在美国得到传播，但是恐惧气息依然存在。在纳什维尔，田纳西州，一位生病的乘客被带到达拉斯。这位患者并未与任何埃博拉患者有过接触，也没有去过非洲地区。
In Richmond, Virginia, a patient with a low-grade fever who had traveled to Africa is isolated. Even though the clinic says they don`t believe it`s Ebola.
在弗吉尼亚州里士满，有一个曾经去过非洲国家出现低烧症状的病人已经被隔离。尽管医生称其并不像是埃博拉病症。
Each scare stretches first responders and can cost taxpayers thousands of dollars and flu season has barely begun.
每次疑似病例的出现都会有应急小组出动，并且花费纳税人数千美元，而现在流感季节也已经开始。
People will take this one in stride, but it takes a while. It takes longer if you tell them they are panicking.
人们将会经历这样一个阶段，但是这个阶段可能会长一些。如果世人都感到恐惧的话将会需要更长时间来应对危机。
What makes this societal learning curve war, says Sandman, is early on the CDC chief insisted everything was under control, then the nurse in Dallas contracted the disease.
Sandman称，是什么让这个社会误解了这场战争?因为早些时候疾病与预防中心主任坚持称一切都在控制当中，然后再达拉斯出现了护士感染病毒这一事件。
What he didn`t say is it`s going to be harder than people imagine. It`s going to be harder than we imagine. So, now, yeah, now people are angry at the CDC and that anger is sort of morphing into fear.
他并没有表示人们对该疫情的恐惧难以想象。这已经超出了我们的想象。所以，现在人们对CDC感到愤怒，这种愤怒已经开始转化为恐惧。

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please! Our bus will arrive at Lake Park in a few minutes. You can feel the comfortable cool air coming from the lake. This is the favourite place for tourists in the summer afternoon like today. This lake is one of the great wonders of nature. No one knows when or how it was formed. But people began to build houses around the lake a hundred years ago, so in this park you can have a special view of houses of all shapes and styles and colors. It is like an architecture show. In late autumn and winter, this park is the best place for bird watching. School teachers like to bring children here and they just love it.
Now our bus is driving around the lake. You can sit back and enjoy the beauty of everything here. The bus will take us to a good spot, where you can take the most wonderful photos you have ever taken.
Here we are. Please get off and watch your step. Return to the bus in twenty minutes. Thank you!
