报纸类雅思阅读有哪些注意事项?

1、用词

记者对所报道的题目一般都比较熟悉，因此能够选用恰当的词汇来表达有关内容，包括一些专业词汇。总体上新闻的用词都比较普通，某些反复用到的词出现率很高，如报道政治新闻时常见到president, congress, senator, representative, scandal, vote, bill一类的词。偏爱短词是英美报刊用词的一大特点。

2、主动语态

比较例句a：Senator Dole planned to announce his resignation from the Senate.和例句b：To announce his resignation from the Senate was planned by Senator Dole.

3、时态

一般用现在时而不是过去时表示事件是最近发生的，是新闻而不是旧闻。

肯定句(positive form)：比较例句a) He was not very often on time. 和例句b) He usually came late.
