《2025年新八省新高考英語滿分通關練》專題27【匯編】新八省期中閱讀理解新聞報道通關16篇（滿分攻略+八省名校模擬）原卷版（山西、河南、陜西、內蒙古、四川、云南、寧夏、青海）新聞報道新聞報道滿分作答解題妙招一、新聞報道類閱讀理解思維導圖新聞報道類閱讀理解語篇特點近年來，英美國家主流媒體已經成為全國各省市高考閱讀理解命題文章的主流題源，如《時代》、《科學美國人》、《洛杉磯時報》、《衛報》等。命題文章話題涵蓋廣泛，有關于政治經濟的時文報道，有社會生活中發生的大小事件，還有個人成長的經歷趣聞。新聞類語篇在寫作手法上遵循的原則是“keepitshortandsimple”，簡稱KISS原則。高考所選取的新聞類文章主要采取“導語（lead）——主體（body）——結尾（end）”的結構模式。新聞類語篇有以下幾個特點：1.主題明確突出新聞類文章的內容圍繞某個新聞事件或人物展開，文章主題經常會出現在導語部分。導語一般是文章第一或第一、二段，用簡明生動的語言將新聞最具價值、最新鮮的內容或典型例子放在開頭，引出文章主題。導語部分通常能全部或部分回答who、what、when、where、why、how等問題。正文主要是對導語部分所提供的主題信息的相關細節進行解釋和深化，此部分以記敘或者說明為主。結尾再一次總結中心思想，以強調、啟發、或號召等方式結束，也有的新聞文章沒有明顯的結束語。2.信息準確客觀新聞報道強調客觀性，一般以第三人稱為主，客觀報道事實、描述事件或陳述觀點。所提供的細節信息，如時間、人物、地點、因果等都有明確的出處或來源。作者一般不表達自己的觀點，而是通過引語，包括直接和間接引語，來陳述相關人士的態度和觀點。3.語言簡潔風趣新聞類語篇既要做到觀點明確，又要做到表達有力和敘述生動，因此十分講究語言的趣味性，用濃縮的語言表達豐富的內容。用詞平實易懂，精煉簡潔。三、新聞報道類閱讀理解解題策略1.瀏覽文章，判斷文體考生在做閱讀理解題時一定要有“文體意識”，即結合文章體裁的文體特征，緊扣主旨理解文章。具體到新聞類文體，首先通過新聞獨有的語篇特征，如導語、信息源等，判斷是否是新聞類語篇。然后，根據文章結構特點和題型特點可以去文章相應部分尋找答案，這樣可以節約時間、有的放矢。例如：文章主旨、寫作意圖題一般對應文章導語部分。2.利用導語，掌握核心導語往往包括了新聞最具價值的內容，與主旨密切相關，是對新聞事件本質、新聞人物的突出特點和社會現象背后的原因等最凝練的概括，是寫作意圖題、主旨大意題的重要判斷依據。例如：2020全國高考III卷C篇，探討了英國社會中由于多方壓力，一家人幾代同堂的現狀。第31題“Whatisthetextmainlyabout?”就是導語的側面考查。通過結合下文的例子和數據分析，我們知道這種選擇多是同住一室的家庭越來越多，因此全文講述的是人們居住方式的一種新的趨勢。3.深入細節，定位分析細節判斷題是新聞類語篇的主要考查題型，做題時考生要有“題目意識”，即由題干關鍵詞把握命題意圖和答題要點，解題時多使用“同義轉換”或者“綜合歸納”兩種方法。多數情況下，選項會對原文信息進行同義轉換，即原文信息的另外一種表達。相反，選項中如果出現了原文出現過的詞句，應當引起警覺，謹防受到“偷梁換柱”的迷惑干擾。有時候細節散落在多個句子，或者在不同段落中都有提到，考生應該分析事件之間的關聯、人物與事件的關聯、社會現象背后的原因和結果的關聯等等，進行綜合歸納。如果是以記敘為主，則需要抓住“何人、何時、何為、何因、何果”幾要素，這幾大要素也是題目的著眼點。4.結合主旨，理解引語引語是新聞類文章中的點睛之筆，用來體現作者或者文中相關方面的態度、觀點，用來佐證支撐主旨。在答題時要有“語境意識”，即聯系文章主旨和上下文語境分析判斷作者的寫作意圖或者說話人的情感態度。新八省期中新八省期中名校模擬試題【八省期中匯編·閱讀·新聞報道01】（24-25高三上·寧夏·階段練習）Chinaupsrectificationof‘fancircle’culturewhichdistortsminors’values,endangerssocialgovernanceChina’scyberspaceregulatoronFridayenhancedrectificationwithspecificmeasuresoverthesickpartsof“fancircle”cultureintheentertainmentindustry,tacklingthelong-controversialmovesbyteenagefansthatblindlyidolizecelebrities,excessivelyspendmoneyontheir“idols,”andexcludeothers,asdistortedvalueswithinthecircleshavealsobredcyberbullyingandillegalfundraising.Somefanswhoengageinfrequentverbalabusewithsupportersofothercelebrities,orblindlydefendingtheirscandal-riddenidolshaverecentlypromptedheatedcriticismonlineagainstsuchfandomculture,whichisfearedtoposeagreatdangertothedevelopmentoftheyounggenerationandthemainstreamvalues,ideologicalsecurityandsocialgovernance.TheCyberspaceAdministrationofChina(CAC)publishedanoticeonFridayonitswebsiteaskingprovincialofficestoheightentheeffortstorectifythefancirclechaosandmakeentertainment-relatedplatformsperformtheirdutiestowardoffirrationalidolworshipping.TheCACspecified10measures,urgingenhancedsenseofurgencytoimprovethefancircleculturetosafeguardonlinepoliticalandideologicalsecurity,andsupervisetheplatformstoimplementthemeasures.Themeasuresincludecancellingallrankinglistsofentertainments,barringforumsthatpickfightsandleadtochaos,andrequestingagenciestobetterguidefangroups.BeforeFriday’snotice,theCACinmid-JuneandJulyhavelaunchedcampaignstargetingsickfancirclesculturethatadverselyaffectedadolescence.TheCAConFridayalsopublishedadraftsetofrulesonalgorithmservices,urgingtransparencyandauthenticityofstatisticsanddatabeputtogooduse.Observersbelievedthedraftalsoservestocleansetheentertainmentindustrygiventherealityofplatformsandidolagenciescolludingtomanipulaterankings.OnAugust6,China’smajorsocialmediaplatformWeiboannouncedtheremovalofthe“starpowerlist,”wherefansspentlargeamountsoftime,moneyandenergytokeeptheiridolsonahigherposition.SearchenginesBaiduand360alsoshelvedtheirsimilarlistsof“starsinfluencers.”WeibohasbeendeleteingverbalabusepostsandpublishinginformationofaccountsuspensionsweeklysinceJunetotackleverbalabuseandrumorsconcerningfancircles.Inrecentweeks,dozensofmobilephoneappsthatcanbeusedforfanfundraising,trackingidols’activitiesandliftingidol’srankingsondifferentlistswereremovedfromappstores.Theenhancedmeasuresonfancirclescomealongsidethepunishmentofwrongdoingentertainers,includinga299millionyuan($46.27million)fineonactressZhengShuangfortaxfraud,asChinaisdeterminedtocleansetheindustryofbadinfluences.1．Whatisthemainpurposeofthisarticle?A．Toprovidedetailsonataxfraudcase.B．Topromoteanewsocialmediaplatform.C．Toannounceacelebrity’supcomingconcert.D．Toinformreadersaboutnewregulationsonfanculture.2．WhatspecificactiondidWeibotakeaccordingtothearticle?A．Itlaunchedanew“starpowerlist.”B．Itbeganafundraisingcampaignforcelebrities.C．Itremovedpostsandpublishedaccountinformation.D．Itincreasedthevisibilityofidolrankings.3．HowdidtheCAC’snewrulesaimtoimprovefancircleculture?A．Byencouragingverbaldisputesamongfans.B．Bypromotingidolworshiponentertainmentplatforms.C．Byincreasingtheamountofmoneyfanscanspendonidols.D．Byeliminatingrankinglistsandmanagingfangroupactivities.4．WhatadditionalmeasuredidChinataketoaddressissuesintheentertainmentindustry?A．Issuingafinetoactressesfortaxfraud.B．Banningallfan-relatedapps.C．Promotingnewcelebrityendorsements.D．Expandingthelistoftopcelebrities.【八省期中匯編·閱讀·新聞報道02】（24
