v 2021.12.1-四级新闻听力篇
Section A
News Report One
v 听力原文
[1]United Airlines has apologized for mistakenly shipping an American family's pet dog thousands of miles in the wrong direction to Japan.
The dog owner’s beloved l0-year-old dog named Buddy took an unexpected 16-hour flight to Tokyo following a mix-up by the airline.
 The dog owner’s family are currently in the process of moving. They were meant to be reunited with the pet in their new home city in Texas.
But when they arrived at the United Airlines cargo facility in the southern U.S. state, they found a stranger’s dog waiting in Buddy’s place.
Both of the dogs had been sent to the wrong destinations on connecting flights from Denver, with Buddy mistakenly being sent to Japan instead.
Buddy was given a physical checkup when he arrived at Tokyo’s International Airport. The dog was then sent back to the U.S. on a private charter jet.
“I’m so glad he’s alive and coming home soon,” said the relieved dog owner.
“An error occurred during the connections in Denver. We have notified our customers that their pets arrived safely. [2]We will arrange to return the pets to them as soon as possible,” a spokesperson of United Airlines said.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
Question 1. What does the news report say about the United Airlines?
Question 2. What did the spokesperson for United Airlines say they would do after the incident?
【解析】
1. C)项意为：它把两只狗送到了错误的地点。本题是文章开始位置首句命题，C)项在开篇第一句话原词复现the wrong destination和dogs，动作set和send同义替换。
2. A)项意为：尽快改正了他们的错误。本题按照题文同序的原则，在文章末尾提及return the pets to them as soon as possible，原词复现as soon as possible，将宠物返还也就是改正了错误。
News Report Two
v 听力原文
Officials at Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona, are celebrating the birth of a baby elephant. Zoo officials say the baby was born on Monday. It is a female, and she weighs nearly 130 kilograms.
Semba, her mother, is a 30-year-old African elephant. The pregnancy lasted 22 months.
Officials describe the baby elephant as “healthy, standing and nursing.”
The baby hasn’t been given a name yet.
[3]Semba has given birth before. Zoo officials said during this pregnancy, she was closely monitored through physical exams and blood tests.
Dr. Sue Tygielski is the zoo's director of zoological operations. [4]She said the elephant's birth went smoothly and that there were no complications.
The new baby expands the zoo’s elephant herd to six. That includes the baby’s parents, a sister, a brother, and an adult female.
Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
Question 3. What do we learn about the mother elephant Semba?
Question 4. What does the report say about the birth of the new baby elephant?
【解析】
3. B)项意为：她以前曾经有过孩子。本题位置相对靠后，Semba has given birth before。其中B)项的has had babies和音频原文的has given birth是同义替换。
4. C)项意为：这很顺利。本题按题文同序顺序，在3题后命题，原词复现smooth。
News Report Three

Three years ago, a couple was enjoying a meal at a beach restaurant. [5]The restaurant was built on a wooden structure above the sea water. During the meal, the man's wedding ring slipped off his finger. It fell through the wooden floorboards, apparently lost forever.
[6]Recently, the restaurant manager Ryan Krivoy decided to replace the wooden deck, and he found an old gold coin, some $100 bills and a silver wedding ring while replacing the deck.
[7]The restaurant’s waitress Sasha Formica posted a picture of the ring on Facebook. The post was shared about 5,000 times.
Three days later, the happy wife called to claim the ring. She even texted pictures of her and her husband eating there in 2017 as proof.
The restaurant mailed the ring back to the happy couple. Meanwhile, Krivoy discovered that the gold coin was very rare. It was from 1855 and worth as much as $2,000.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
Question 5. What do we learn about the restaurant?
Question 6. What did the restaurant manager decide to do recently?
Question 7: What did the waitress do about the recovered ring?
