Step 2 Read through the news
Over 500 confirmed cases of infection reported in five facilities by Thursday
Guo Shengkun, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, conducted spot checks on a prison and a detention center in Hebei province on Saturday to learn about the facilities' epidemic control work.
He made the inspections after three provinces reported novel coronavirus outbreaks at five penitentiaries by Thursday.
He told staff at the prison and the detention center they should fully understand the distinct and arduous nature of epidemic prevention and control work in correctional facilities and draw lessons from the infected prisons.
Guo went to a detention center in Sanhe and Yancheng Prison, a facility run by the Ministry of Justice, to conduct random inspections of their management of isolation, detention and food distribution.
He said they should resolutely prevent laxity and adopt measures and strategies to curb the spread of the epidemic in prisons.
The most effective prevention measure is strict closed management, and the control of virus sources needs to be strengthened by carefully examining the entry and exit of personnel and vehicles, he said.
Prisons also need to thoroughly investigate and rectify hidden dangers and loopholes in management to ensure the health and safety of people in penitentiaries, he added.
Guo also urged full support for meeting police needs for protective materials and equipment to relieve their safety concerns and asked public security and judicial administrative departments to take primary responsibility for epidemic prevention and control and resolutely prevent bureaucracy and formalism.
Five prisons in Hubei, Shandong and Zhejiang provinces had reported outbreaks of infection by Thursday, with more than 500 confirmed cases, including 230 at Wuhan Women's Prison, in the epicenter of the outbreak, and 200 in Rencheng Prison in Shandong.
Most of the infected prisoners were added to the tally of confirmed cases on the Chinese mainland on Thursday, disrupting the overall decline in the number of new infections.
To curb the epidemic in prisons, the Ministry of Justice has urged thorough investigation and strict isolation in correctional facilities across the country, as well as timely medical treatment for patients with confirmed infections.
He Ping, a senior official with the ministry's prison administration bureau, said on Friday that those who failed to report the epidemic situation in prisons in a timely manner and who did not conduct adequate isolation measures would be held accountable and seriously dealt with.
The ministry has sent 28 teams to conduct inspections of penitentiaries nationwide.
In the wake of the coronavirus outbreaks in prisons, Sichuan and Heilongjiang provinces have taken "wartime" management measures since Saturday to prevent the epidemic from spreading to prisons.
Sichuan Provincial Department of Justice said on Saturday that all new offenders and drug addicts and those who return to prison after family visits should wear face masks, have their body temperatures checked and then be quarantined. All vehicles and materials entering prisons will be disinfected, and people suspected of being infected will be prohibited from entering. Sichuan prisons have also suspended all face-to-face visits, transfers of offenders, correctional education, collective dining and all large-scale activities, and banned the entry of all outsiders. Its counterpart in Heilongjiang urged its correctional facilities to shut their entrances, maintain control over staff, visitors and inmates, report situations in a timely manner, carry out disinfections more than twice a day and check everyone's body temperatures twice a day.
It also asked all officers and staff members to wear face masks while on duty. Officers or prison leaders who fail to obey the order or who take slow or improper action will be held accountable.
Xie Weijun, head of the Shandong Provincial Justice Department, two officials from the province's prisons administration and five officials at Rencheng Prison have been removed from their posts for negligence in disease control.

《英语听力》课程教学大纲 第一部分听力阶段 一、课程性质、课程目标与教学要求 听力课是英语教学中四项基本技能之一也是中国学生的一个难点。突破这个难关不仅有助于其它单项技能的训练同时也为培养学生的英语交际能力奠定一个良好的基础。听力课是英语专业的基础课目的是系统地训练和培养学生的英语视听和说的能力并在四年之通过专业四、八级考试。视听说能力是语言交际必不可少的手段之一也是中学教学中课堂教学的重要部分。因此培养具有一定听说能力并能用英语作为课堂教学语言的合格中学教师和相当水准的英语翻译人才是学院英语专业听力课程教学目的之所在。听力课是一门综合了语音、词汇、语法、惯用法、背景知识、记忆以及概括能力的学科它要求学生通过这门课的学习增长语言知识提高语言技能以及扩大知识面。听力课不同于书面语教学它要求学生注意力集中养成良好听力习惯提高英语语感包括音的辨别、句子结构的分析、容的判断乃至短期和长期记忆的提高等。 二、关于教材与学习参考书的建议 本课程所使用教材 1、 Listen This Way Book I II III IV 2、《听力教程》第一、二、三、四册主要参考书 1、《八级听力训练》. 2、《VOA听力教程》。 3、《BBC听力教程》 4、《托福听力基础教程》 5、《英语专业四级听写与听力理解》6、《TOEFL听力模考题精选》 7、《初级Listen to This》、《中级Listen to This》Listen This Way 这套教材涉略广泛攘括了家庭教育、环境保护、儿童理财等方方面面。但该套教材难度梯度区分不大特别是第一册的教材对于大一的新生来说难度偏大所以教学进度得放慢此外教师应适当补充难度较适合学生的材料如《初级Listen to This》、《托福听力基础教程》以便培养学生的学习兴趣、树立学生的自信心。《听力教程》这套教材学生普遍反映太难且每单元的容量颇大较适合大二以上学生使用建议为学生订一套难度接近Listen This Way的课外补充教材。 三、课程教学容纲要 第一学期 Unit 1 Can I Take a Message I 2学时 Unit 2 Can I Take a Message II 2学时 Unit 3 Clear or Cloudy 2学时 Unit 4 Can time More Backward 2学时 Unit 5 Flying In and Out. 2学时 Unit 6 By Bus or By Train 2学时 Quiz Unit 7 This Way or That Way 2学时 Unit 8 Cash or Cheque 2学时 Unit 9 Toward Better Health I 2学时 Unit 10 Toward Better Health II 2学时 Mid-term Exam Unit 11 The Interview’s Eye 2学时 VOA Special English 2学时 VOA Special English 2学时
英语新闻报道的特点和收听技巧
(1)掌握新闻报道的结构新闻报道往往采用“倒金字塔体”。所谓“倒金字塔体”，也称为倒途法，即按新闻事实重要性的程度由要点到细节逐步扩展，安排全文。把最重要的事实置于全文的第一个句子中，这个句子被称为新闻导语(the news lead)。它告知听众最关心最重要的事实，如事件(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)，以及原因和方式(why，how，即新闻导语包含了我们常说的五个WH和一个H构成的“新闻六大要素”。新闻导语是整条新闻的高度浓缩形式，听懂了导语，也就听懂了新闻的主要内容。当然，由于新闻报道的侧重点不同，有时新闻导语也可能只包含其中部分要素 (2)扩大词汇量，熟记新闻报道中的常用词汇 ①普通词汇。尽管新闻报道所使用的词汇量很大，但是语言的基本词汇是稳定的。如VOA 广播中的special English(特别节目)的新闻报告中常用词汇约1 500个，这的重复率在报道中是很高的，如cease-fire，presidential election等政治性词汇，finance banking group等经济词汇以ace shuttle，robot等科技词汇。而新闻英语中的特有用语就更具稳定性。若能掌握这些词汇，再加上一些听力技巧，基本听懂新闻报道就不是件难事了。 ②专有词汇。新闻报道是有关世界范围的最新消息，因在报道中常涉及许多人名、地名、国名。除此之外，新闻报道中还常常出现一些河流、山脉及名胜古迹等专有名词熟悉这些专有名词可使听者更快更准确地了解所听的新闻 (3)掌握一定数量的缩略语(acronym) 由于新闻报道时间的限制，不少机构的名称常采用其缩略形式，即由该名称中数个词的首字母的大写形式组成，如：PLO是the Palestine Liberation Organization的缩写形式。需要注意的是，听者不仅要了解这些缩略语的确切含义，而且还应知道它们的正确读音。 (4)掌握数字的不同读法 在新闻报道中经常出现许多数字，大到几十亿，上百亿，小到分数或小数。尤其对一些多位数的数字，要想立刻听准这些数字的确不容易，其主要难点在于位数过多。因此在听多位数的数字时，应对billion(十亿)、million(百万)、thousand(千)、hundred(百)等词尤为重视。同时，要注意一个数字的多种读法，如播音员把两个足球队比赛结果2：0读作two to nothing而不是读成two to nought或two to zero． (5)掌握循序渐进，从慢到快的原则 目前，许多外台(如BBC，VOA)的新闻英语报道有特别英语(Special English)和标准英语(Standard English)两种。所谓Special English也可称为慢速英语，即新闻播放的语速较慢。
英语新闻的结构特征
新闻写作由于记者写作风格不同，文体结构无定格。但大体上说新闻文体的主体结构是由标题、导语、 正文三部分组成。 标题（headline）：浓缩概括全文的中心实质问题。 导语（1ead or introduction）：通常为文章的第一段。文章的第一段提供主要话题和最主要的事 实。 正文（body）：在导语的基础上，引入更多的与主题相关的事实，使之更加详实、具体，并展开评论， 进而得出结论。 在此我们以消息为例，详细分析一下它的基本结构。消息类新闻属于“硬新闻”，是广泛采用的的一种 新闻体裁。消息报道中的导语十分重要，它位于第一段或第一、二段。通过它点出新闻的主题，这是消 息这种新闻文体区别于其它文体的一个重要特征。五个w和一个h（when？where？who？what？why？和 how？）是构成一则完整的消息不可缺少的要素。直接的消息报道或纯消息报道一般采用“倒金字塔形 式”（the inverted pyramid form），其特点是按新闻报道最重要的五个w和一个h头重脚轻地安排材 料，把新闻的高潮和结论放在最前面的导语里，然后以事实的重要性递减的顺序来安排（in the order of descending importance）材料。 在报纸、广播、电视等新闻媒体每天刊载和播发的新闻中，百分之九十是用倒金字塔结构写成的。 对于报纸来说，倒金字塔结构的新闻有自己的优势。主要是可以使读者很快得到新闻的精华部分；在生 活节奏越来越快的今天，一般读者很少把一条新闻从头到尾读完，他们可能随时放下报纸，因此，报纸 有必要让读者首先读到最重要的新闻内容。 为了帮助读者了解这种倒金字塔式结构，请见西方新闻学著作中的图表说明： the inverted pyramid form introduction containing most important or most interesting

新闻听力技巧
新闻部分听力技巧： 一．新闻报道3大特点 根据西方新闻理论，新闻通常由三个部分组成，及标题（headline）,导语（lead）和正文（body）。了解新闻报道的基本问题特征，能帮助考生更好地听懂英语新闻。下面主要从新闻报道的结构，句法和所用词汇等方面来简要分析新闻报道的文体特征。 1.结构特点 新闻种类繁多，但就其写作形式与结构而言，则常用倒金字塔结构和时间顺序结构这两种写作方式。 A.倒金字塔结构（the Inverted Pyramid Form） 也称倒叙法。即指在新闻报道中把最重要的新闻事实放在整个报道的开头有，作为 导语（lead），把次要的我新闻事实放在导语之后，把最不重要的新闻事实放在整个 报道的末尾，这样就是倒金字塔结构。大部分新闻都采用此结构。 导语是新闻最重要的内容或事件的概述，只要听懂了导语，新闻概要就掌握得八九 不离十。听新闻要抓住6要素，即who,what,why,when,where,how，一般情况下导语 中应当回答这6要素的2要素。 B.时间顺序结构（the Chronological Style） 就是根据新闻事实发生的时间先后顺序报道。这一结构多用于体育比赛，文艺演出，和犯罪案件等。这种结构的新闻报道通常在整篇报道的结尾才给出新闻事实的结 果。 解题时注意先审题，听清第一句话，注意细节信息。去除听力中的“回读”习惯，忽略不熟悉的人名地名，解题时要先细节后归纳。 2.句法特点 就新闻报道的句法结构而言，一般使用结构简短的句子，但有时为了在一个句子中包含尽可能多的新闻事实或信息，采用合并句子或加入插入语的方式，即将原来两句或两句以上方可表达的事实合并在一句里，组成语法结构复杂，松散，冗长的句子。 A.含宾语从句的复合句 这类复合句大都接在say, tell, ask, report, quote, deny, confirm等一类动词后的间接引 语，所表达的内容往往比较重要，许多对细节考查的题目就针对此句式 Eg. American Coast Guard officials in Florida say they have returned to Cuba a group of would-be migrants B.含定语从句的复合句 此类句型通常结构复杂，信息量大，是新闻听力的难点。对于这类疑难句，考生应在平时报刊阅读以及听力训练中注意抓住句子的主题部分，即主，谓，宾，自爱此基础上理解句子的附加成分，明确他们与主体部分之间的关系。 Eg: they had to remain at the abandoned base where there were only flour and cooking fat. C.同位语及插入语 新闻英语除了文字简练的特点之外，最显著的一个特点就是要尽可能多地传递信息，因此不可避免的大量使用同位语。如在新闻中提到人就必须根据需要交代与该新闻有关的他的职务，年龄，专业等，如提到组织结构就必须交代与该新闻相关的地点，性质等以便听者更好地了解。

The 14th "Chinese bridge" Chinese proficiency competition for Turkish university students opened in Middle East Technology University here on Saturday. "My Chinese dream," which is the topic of the contest, attracted 25 students, who have past the writing test in the morning, to give their own story about their connection with Chinese language and culture. "The world is so big, I want to go to china and have a look," the sentence which is quite popular on Chinese web, was used in Arad's speech about why he chose to learn Chinese. Dance of Little Apple, the most popular song in China in 2014, and the drunken beauty of leading Chinese opera performer Li Yugang, among other famous Chinese songs and dances, were included in the performance list of the competitors. The show of famous poetry "To the Oak Tree" written by Chinese poet Shu Ting helped Gullu from sinology department of Ankara University to win the first runner-up and gain a chance to go to China, a dream she has been trying to fulfill for a long time. "I love Chinese poem and songs and I wish to go to China to get my master degree," Gullu said. Zeynep, the girl who won the ticket to the world "Chinese Bridge" competition host annually by Hanban in Beijing, was very excited after the contest. "I am fascinated by Chinese culture and I could even touch the pulse of this dragon. Now I have a chance to improve my Chinese by communicate and compete with the students from other countries in China. What a dream come true!" she said. Wu Changqing, the headmaster of Confucius institute in Middle East Technology University which held this year's "Chinese bridge" competition together with the Chinese embassy to Turkey, said that "The quality of the competition is higher than last year because it is harder to choose better students through writing test and speech competition. The number of Turkish students interested in studying Chinese is increasing these years which force the competitors to learn harder to win the champion." "'Chinese bridge' is not only a contest among Turkish students but also an important pillar of the bridge of social, cultural and economical relationship between Turkey and China, which will definitely benefit Chinese and Turkish people," said Yu Hongyang, the Chinese ambassador to Turkey.

Journalism Glossary 四、名词解释（共5小题，每小题3分，共计15分。） Agenda-setting: a theory of mass communication suggesting news media influence audiences through the choice of stories to cover and space or time given them; thus, media determine which issues people should think about. Anchors: newscasters who host news broadcasts. Body: the main part or central information of a news story following the lead. By-line: A line at the beginning of some writing in a newspaper or magazine giving the writer’s name.
