33、 2 Part I Section III Script,Part II Listening Strategies,Section I NewsSources,NewsSources,Unit 2 Part II Section I,News media includes newspaper,magazine,radio,television,the Internet,etc.They are important vehicles for conveying information.In Britain,important newspapers are the Daily Express,Da

38、.Since news is never to be fabricated and falsified,the source of the information reported becomes an indispensable guarantee to keep the news objective and persuasive.On the other hand,objective news is not completely objective because the reporters voice is rarely 100 percent neutral.Take a look a
39、t the following two examples.,Unit 2 Part II Section I,e.g.The world may soon see the end of Black Guillemot and the Pacific walrus as a result of sea ice loss in the Arctic,according to scientists meeting at the Arctic Science Conference in Fairbanks,Alaska.e.g.Newsweek has learned that Pentagon an
40、alysts are still aggressively hunting for evidence that might tie Atta,or any of the other hijackers,to Saddams agents.It may yet turn up,but for now,at least,the much touted“Prague connection”appears to be an intriguing,but embarrassing,mistake.In the first example,the source of information comes f
41、rom“scientists”.They are more persuasive than the reporter for the issue of species extinction due to ice loss.The second example uses“might”,“may yet”,“at least”,“appears”to show the reporters lack of evidence to reach a conclusion.,Unit 2 Part II Section I,Rule of Thumb 1Sources of information hav
42、e various linguistic realizations in news reports.Some typical expressions are:according to,as the official puts it,it is reported,data shows,authorities said,the spokesman announced,etc.Rule of Thumb 2The reporters word choice and inflection can reveal their own stance on a subject.Some typical exp
43、ressions can help us find the reporters voice.They include:in all possibility,it is doubtful,it is fully justifiable,it is likely,there is good evidence that,there is no doubt that,it seems/appears that.Besides that,modals also help pinpoint the reporters voice:may,might,can,could,should,and ought t
44、o.,Word Bank,Unit 2 Part II Section I Task 1,Task 1 Listen to the following news for key words that realize the source of information and the reporters stance.Then fill in the blanks with the exact words you heard.,Task,Unit 2 Part II Section I Task 1,No Link Between Some High-Carbohydrate Foods and
