第 9 讲 体裁微解——新闻报道
新闻报道的第一句往往为全文的中心句(topic sentence)，因此在这个句子中主要讲清
what(事件)，when(时间)，where(地点)和who(人物)，而在下文则要补充事件的过程和细节，
往往包括why(目的或原因)和how(具体过程)等。新闻报道的一些常用语包括 It is reported
that...，As is reported...，According to the report...，It is estimated that...等。新闻报道亦为记叙
文，时态一般要用过去时；主句、从句结构清晰，语言客观平实，往往没有过分花哨的词汇
和过于复杂的句型。主要具有以下特点：
选材 新闻报道要突出新闻性，作者应避免对该新闻事件进行主观判断和评价。
内容 新闻报道的内容真实、新鲜、及时、重要、趣味可读，时效性极强。
结构 标题＋导语＋正文＋结束语
语言 短小精悍(常用代词)；客观真实(被动语态和间接引语的使用)。
题型主要为观点推断题；考查语篇衔接，推断某一特定词或者短语的指代内
命题
容；考查主旨归纳题。
新闻报道主要是提供事实信息，一般是简单叙述事件发生的五要素，事件经过和各方反
应，很少去探究事件背后深层次的原因。新闻报道的体裁主要有消息、通讯，通常采用记叙
的方式来讲清事实(即时间、地点、人物、事件、原因)，强调用事实说话，注重准确客观。
因此，做题时要关注新闻报道的结构和细节。具体答题策略如下：

Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day.But at Union Station
in Los Angeles last month，a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that
read，“Give What You Can，Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on.And while many took dollars，many others pinned their own cashto the board.“People of all ages，races，and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave
and took，” said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox，which created the project.“We even had a
bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the
board were singles，but a few people left fives，tens and even twenties.The video clip(片段)
shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most，is that they were full of smiles，”
Bridges said.“There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those
that gave the most.”Most people who took dollars took only a few，but Bridges said a very small
number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign，Bridges said the only goal was to
show generosity and sympathy.He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar
projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all，everyone has bad days and good days，”he said.“Some days you need a
helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”

Launched in Singapore last November ， Hong Kong-based company Omnifoods has
introduced a range of six plant-based sea foods to stand in for tuna，crab and whitefish.Similar to
their pork substitutes，the new products are said to offer a safe and alternative source of protein
while tackling environmental concerns like overfishing and worsening of the seas.Omnifoods’ expansion comes at a time when the market for plant-based products is
growing.According to Enterprise Singapore，local interest in sensible consumption doubled in
2021，and flexitarians—people who primarily eat a plant-based diet but occasionally consume
meat or seafood—represent the fastest growth.The ocean is another reason cited as the need for
plant-based seafood.The average person here consumed 22kg of seafood last year，surpassing the
global average of 20kg.The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) also observed that three quarters
of the seafood served in Singapore is unsustainable.Besides，fish farming involves the use of
chemicals to prevent disease and parasites and these chemicals then accumulate in fish tissues，
which becomes a serious threat to people’s health.
Omnifoods says their products address all these concerns.Made primarily from non-
genetically modified soybeans，the plant-based alternatives are free of harmful substances，
absolutely safe.The company pointed out that the products share a similar look，feel and taste of
the real thing.“We’ ve done pilot taste tests with friends ， family ， and one sushi
restaurant.Many admire the appearance and mouthfeel that our tuna product has as well as its
nutritional benefits.Now we are struggling to improve our product until it’s an exact match or
tastes better than animal-based tuna，” added David Yeung.
Besides Omnifoods ， Singapore companies are also exploring the alternative seafood
market.Growthwell Group recently raised US $22 million to fund its attempt into shrimp，squid
and crab made using chickpea protein.“Global demand for plant-based meats is also shooting
up，with the value set to reach US $ 23.2 billion by 2024，” said market research company
Euromonitor.

A．Being reasonably-priced.

A．The recent trend in people’s diet.
B．The potential risks of fishing farming.
C．The methods of Omnifoods expanding its business.
D．The factors driving the popularity of plant-based seafood.
3．Which best describes the prospect of the alternative seafood market?
A．Promising. B．Risky.
C．Worrying. D．Uncertain.
4．What’s the best title of the text?
A．Real Seafood Is to be Replaced

Watching his father die without oxygen support while suffering from a heart attack in 2020，
Taher Mahmud Tarif，a Bangladeahi boy，made up his mind to build a device to prevent any
more such tragic deaths.Afterwards，many COVID-19 patients experienced low oxygen levels in
their blood，with demand for oxygen concentrators(浓缩器) among other medical equipment
shooting up during the recent sharp rise in cases.Tarif said the situation gave him more driving
force to build the device.
With the financial and overall support of Ishwardi UNO office and his educational
institution，Tarif’s determination and tireless efforts were rewarded with success as the ninth
grader of Ishwardi Sara Marwari High School managed to make the concentrator after trying five
times for about seven months，mainly using domestic components.He said that a locally made
oxygen concentrator like his costs approximately $760 whereas an imported one does over $2,600.
In June，Tarif gave a detailed account of his invention and manufacture at the UNO office in
Ishwardi at 11∶00 am on Tuesday.He said it was created from his own thinking and with the
addition of local technology generators and electric components.An oxygen concentrator takes in
air and removes nitrogen(氮气) from it，leaving oxygen-enriched gas for use by people needing
medical oxygen.“About 90 percent oxygen concentration can be generated from my oxygen
concentrator machine.This machine can provide high-flow oxygen supply too.It can be very handy
in local areas with no scope of getting oxygen support，” Tarif added.
“This is obviously a good invention for oxygen generation.It is capable of producing high-
flow oxygen so it can be used for patients or refilling oxygen bottles，” said an assistant
professor of Pabna Medical College Hospital.“Despite more lab and other examinations before
using the machine as medical equipment，” the UNO said，“Tarif’s invention will probably
be a great achievement during this alarming COVID-19 situation.”
5．Why did Tarif build an oxygen concentrator?
A．Because his father needed one.
B．Because his father died of COVID-19.
C．Because COVID-19 patients need oxygen.
D．Because he wants to help save other patients.
6．What can we know about Tarif’s invention in paragraph 2?
A．It mostly consists of local parts.
B．It succeeded at the first attempt.
C．It was made without others’ help.
D．It costs more than 2,600 dollars.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Tarif’s invention has not been tested yet.
B．Tarif’s invention has a promising future.
C．Tarif’s invention produces oxygen bottles.
D．Tarif’s invention has proved useful for COVID-19.
8．Where is this text most likely from?
A．A diary. B．A brochure.
C．A newspaper. D．A novel.
