专题27【汇编】新八省期中阅读理解新闻报道通关16篇（满分攻略+八省名校模拟）

《2025年新八省新高考英语满分通关练》专题27【汇编】新八省期中阅读理解新闻报道通关16篇（满分攻略+八省名校模拟）原卷版（山西、河南、陕西、内蒙古、四川、云南、宁夏、青海）新闻报道新闻报道满分作答解题妙招一、新闻报道类阅读理解思维导图新闻报道类阅读理解语篇特点近年来，英美国家主流媒体已经成为全国各省市高考阅读理解命题文章的主流题源，如《时代》、《科学美国人》、《洛杉矶时报》、《卫报》等。命题文章话题涵盖广泛，有关于政治经济的时文报道，有社会生活中发生的大小事件，还有个人成长的经历趣闻。新闻类语篇在写作手法上遵循的原则是“keepitshortandsimple”，简称KISS原则。高考所选取的新闻类文章主要采取“导语（lead）——主体（body）——结尾（end）”的结构模式。新闻类语篇有以下几个特点：1.主题明确突出新闻类文章的内容围绕某个新闻事件或人物展开，文章主题经常会出现在导语部分。导语一般是文章第一或第一、二段，用简明生动的语言将新闻最具价值、最新鲜的内容或典型例子放在开头，引出文章主题。导语部分通常能全部或部分回答who、what、when、where、why、how等问题。正文主要是对导语部分所提供的主题信息的相关细节进行解释和深化，此部分以记叙或者说明为主。结尾再一次总结中心思想，以强调、启发、或号召等方式结束，也有的新闻文章没有明显的结束语。2.信息准确客观新闻报道强调客观性，一般以第三人称为主，客观报道事实、描述事件或陈述观点。所提供的细节信息，如时间、人物、地点、因果等都有明确的出处或来源。作者一般不表达自己的观点，而是通过引语，包括直接和间接引语，来陈述相关人士的态度和观点。3.语言简洁风趣新闻类语篇既要做到观点明确，又要做到表达有力和叙述生动，因此十分讲究语言的趣味性，用浓缩的语言表达丰富的内容。用词平实易懂，精炼简洁。三、新闻报道类阅读理解解题策略1.浏览文章，判断文体考生在做阅读理解题时一定要有“文体意识”，即结合文章体裁的文体特征，紧扣主旨理解文章。具体到新闻类文体，首先通过新闻独有的语篇特征，如导语、信息源等，判断是否是新闻类语篇。然后，根据文章结构特点和题型特点可以去文章相应部分寻找答案，这样可以节约时间、有的放矢。例如：文章主旨、写作意图题一般对应文章导语部分。2.利用导语，掌握核心导语往往包括了新闻最具价值的内容，与主旨密切相关，是对新闻事件本质、新闻人物的突出特点和社会现象背后的原因等最凝练的概括，是写作意图题、主旨大意题的重要判断依据。例如：2020全国高考III卷C篇，探讨了英国社会中由于多方压力，一家人几代同堂的现状。第31题“Whatisthetextmainlyabout?”就是导语的侧面考查。通过结合下文的例子和数据分析，我们知道这种选择多是同住一室的家庭越来越多，因此全文讲述的是人们居住方式的一种新的趋势。3.深入细节，定位分析细节判断题是新闻类语篇的主要考查题型，做题时考生要有“题目意识”，即由题干关键词把握命题意图和答题要点，解题时多使用“同义转换”或者“综合归纳”两种方法。多数情况下，选项会对原文信息进行同义转换，即原文信息的另外一种表达。相反，选项中如果出现了原文出现过的词句，应当引起警觉，谨防受到“偷梁换柱”的迷惑干扰。有时候细节散落在多个句子，或者在不同段落中都有提到，考生应该分析事件之间的关联、人物与事件的关联、社会现象背后的原因和结果的关联等等，进行综合归纳。如果是以记叙为主，则需要抓住“何人、何时、何为、何因、何果”几要素，这几大要素也是题目的着眼点。4.结合主旨，理解引语引语是新闻类文章中的点睛之笔，用来体现作者或者文中相关方面的态度、观点，用来佐证支撑主旨。在答题时要有“语境意识”，即联系文章主旨和上下文语境分析判断作者的写作意图或者说话人的情感态度。新八省期中新八省期中名校模拟试题【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道01】（24-25高三上·宁夏·阶段练习）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.【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道02】（24
