英語四級短文聽力
全國大學英語四、六級考試委員會自2016年6月考試起將對四級考試的聽力試題作局部調(diào)整。四級聽力部分總占比35%，短篇新聞的分值占比為7%。因此，重視新聞的額英語聽力是有的放矢的。應屆畢業(yè)生考試網(wǎng)為您準備了下面的短文聽力，以供您練習。
News
Most flights were on schedule, as US air travel got back to normal. This came after a week of growing passenger frustration and airline delays caused by not having enough air traffic controllers on duty. Lawmakers in Washington moved swiftly to solve the problem - and reduce the effect of mandatory spending cuts which had forced 15-hundred air traffic controllers a day to take unpaid leave.
Transportation officials say the shift in funding also will keep 149 air-control towers at smaller airports open. Despite the move restoring full strength to the nation's air traffic control system, both political parties in Congress continue to blame each other for the forced spending cuts.
Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.
1.
A. Most flights are delayed due to bad weather.
B. All US airline controllers are not on duty.
C. Most flights are punctual now.
D. Air travel in Washington got back on track.
2.
A. The lawmakers didn't help them.
B. They took unpaid leave.
C. They are forced by wage reduction.
D. The government blamed them.
解析：
1. 答案：C
解析：
根據(jù)開篇第一句：Most flights were on schedule, as US air travel got back to normal. "航班已經(jīng)能夠照既定計劃起飛，美國航空重新恢復正常"可知，答案應為C. Most flights are punctual now.(大部分航班現(xiàn)在能夠準點到達);根據(jù)后文可知，航班延誤不是因為天氣，所以A選項錯誤;根據(jù)airline delays caused by not having enough air traffic controllers on duty.可知，航班延誤是因為沒有足夠的人手，而不是所有人手都失職了，B選項為片面絕對化，排除;D選項注意細節(jié)，全文是美國航空恢復正軌，并不僅僅是華盛頓航空回歸正常，排除。
2. 答案：B
解析：
根據(jù)Lawmakers in Washington moved swiftly to solve the problem - and reduce the effect of mandatory spending cuts which had forced 15-hundred air traffic controllers a day to take unpaid leave.一句可知，空中交警因為受強制削減開支的影響導致被迫休無薪假期，從而最終導致空中交警不夠。A選項為故意曲解，聽力中是指出立法者在問題出現(xiàn)后立即進行解決，但并不是不幫助導致人手不夠;C選項是間接原因，而非直接原因;D選項為無中生有。
