时间/数字/日期人名/地名/组织机构

倒金字塔结构在新闻英语报道中，一般都会把最重要的内容放在开头的第一句话，通常包括最基本的新闻事实，可以用what,when,where,who,why和how去概括。一般考查对新闻大意的理解，对新闻内容的理解，以及对新闻当中数字、人物、时间、地点等细节的捕捉。新闻英语听力简介三、新闻英语词汇特点(l)常用词汇表示特殊含义新闻报道常用某些常见词汇来表达事实和事件，这些词汇经过长期使用逐渐取得与新闻报道相联系的特殊意义，成为新闻体词语(journalisticwords)。例如，horror一词是新闻标题中常用的词，用来表示“不幸事故或暴力行动”，再如nadir常指“两国关系的最低点”。新闻英语听力简介三、新闻英语词汇特点(2)大量使用缩略词缩略词具有节省时间、新颖生动的特点，在英语新闻广播中广泛使用，主要是为了节省时间。在英语新闻广播中，一般在播出某个缩略的全称以后，再提到时就使用它的缩略词。
