如何听懂VOA新闻英语（From环球网校）很多学英语的同学都喜欢收听VOA、BBC、CNN等英语新闻广播，想以此来提高听力和口语水平，于是每天早上都能看到一些同学拿着收音机在校园里边走边听，有的怕信号不好，还用手把收音机举起来，像个自由女神一样。
其刻苦学习英语的态度令人敬佩，但很多同学都跟我说基本上听不懂，也不知道该怎么听。
这是个非常普遍的问题，也是个比较棘手的问题，有的同学甚至由此产生了对学英语的恐惧。
我认为大可不必这样，其实这些新闻广播是有一些特点的，我们只要掌握这些特点和一些收听技巧，还是能够听懂这些新闻的。
下面我就来具体的谈谈这些特点和技巧。
一、采用主动的、积极的听力方法。
听力分两种方法。
一种是消极的、被动的（passive）听力，这是很多同学都采用的方法，就是试图去听懂每一个单词，采用这种听法最后只有两种可能：要不就是每个单词都听懂了，但是不明白句子的意思，要不就是在一个生词上耽搁太长的时间，导致后面的几句都没有听清楚。
这实际上是一种效果很差的听力方法。
而我给大家推荐的是另一种听力方法，就是主动的、积极的（positive）听力。
这种方法就是要注意把握句子的结构，听懂关键词。
我们来看这样一个句子：Part of the pressure on lawmakers to put stronger protections in defined-contribution and savings plans comes from retiree-advocacy groups such as the American Association of Retired Persons. 这个句子没有什么生僻的单词，但是如果我们试图去听懂每一个单词，而不去把握句子的结构的话，就不能听懂这句话的意思的。
而如果我们找到这个句子的主干：pressure comes from retiree-advocacy groups，就很容易明白这句话的意思了，因为其他的部分都是修饰成分。
VOA常速讲解附字幕:金价上涨引发淘金热查看原文第一部分：原文中英对照Todd Bonshire is the manager of Monroe Park, a restored18th century gold mining camp in Goldvein,Virginia.A historian by training,he teaches visitors about the rich history of gold mining in the area and how to pan for gold."It is amazing how many have started coming here to buy prospecting equipment and to find places in the area to go prospecting,"said Bonshire."Especially now that gold is near $1,800an ounce,the interest has just skyrocketed."In1782,Thomas Jefferson wrote in his notes on Virginia that a man found a piece of quartz with gold in it near Fredericksburg,and gold fever spread across the state.In the early19th century,there were19gold mines in the immediate area.But during World War II, gold mines were deemed not essential and were shut down."Well this is some quartz from the area,and this is where you find the gold,"added Bonshire.Gold is found inside quartz rock that runs in a belt along the eastern United States.Miners would have to dig out thousands of kilograms of rock to find a few ounces of gold trapped in the crevices."Right here there is a little crevice and you can you see that there is some pyritein there,somebody popped this open,and there is a nice little pocket,"added Bonshire. "The gold would also be found similar to this inside a big piece of quartz."Todd Bonshire是门罗公园的经理，这里是位于佛吉尼亚州Goldvein经过恢复的18世纪的黄金开采地点。
VOA常速英语：中止艾滋病毒将触手可及The End of AIDS Could be Within ReachCarol PearsonNovember 26,2021WASHINGTON— This year's World AIDS Day focuses on how to achieve an AIDS-free generation. The United Nations predicts that if prevention and treatment services are scaled up, the epidemic will no longer be a global threat in 15 years. Butif goals are not met, the pandemic could get worse.For 30 years, Dr. Anthony Fauci has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In 1984, there were no drugs that targeted HIV/AIDS. There are now more than 30.Fauci describes the progress in controlling HIV/AIDS as “extraordinary.”"If you can put someone on anti-retrovirals relatively early in the course of their infection ... let us say they are a 25-year-old man or woman, you could look them in the eye as I do when I see them in my clinic three times a week, and tell them if they stay on their drug, you could project that they could live an additional 50, five-zero, years, which is one of the most extraordinary accomplishments in biomedical research in translation," said Fauci.But the latest study shows only 30 percent of Americans with HIV are getting the right treatment for HIV. The number drops by half for those between the ages of 18 and 24.Some experts blame the human factor： some people are afraid to find out their test results, others are tired of taking pills, don't feel like using condoms, and worry about the stigma that comes from having HIV.Howard University in Washington sponsors a yearly conference to examine the stigma associated with this disease. Rod McCoy, who is HIV-positive, works with an organizationthat provides HIV education and testing."One of the things I am concerned about as a health educator is people staying on their meds, but also people who are not infected having the mentality of, 'Oh, people take medication, so if I get infected, I will be fine.' My concern is around the complacency around prevention because of the success of treatment,” said McCoy.Dr. Fauci tells people at forums like those at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington that complacency is why a vaccine against HIV is so needed."When we start seeing that there is such a low level of infection and the numbers look good, that is when we aregoing to have a rebound. My conclusion, then, is that itreally is essential to durably control and end the AIDS epidemic is to have a vaccine," he said.Even with extraordinary accomplishments in AIDStreatments that are driving down the numbers of people whoget HIV, more than 35 million people around the world still have the virus, and the United Nations reports another 1.5 million people died from it in 2021, far too many lives to become complacent.。

VOA常速英语听力2012年09月合辑（文本）：Fashion-Meets-Art-on-Pakistani-CatwalkISLAMABAD, KARACHI — Few women go out in Pakistan without being fully covered in traditional dress. But two women in this Muslim country are combining modern art and a taste for high fashion to create a new fusion of wearable art.Sadaf Malaterre, one of Pakistan’s younger designers says fashion crosses all boundaries.“There are all sorts of Pakistani women," Malaterre explains. "There are some Pakistani women who are a little more conservative, but still fashionable, so they will at the end of the day cover the legs. They will not wear a short dress. They will wear sleeveless maybe -- they will be more trendy than the others. And then I have a lot of clients who come and buy dresses from me.”Her latest collection combines redesigned traditional Pakistan styles with original art pieces painted on silk.The colors are soft, the styles ultra-feminine. But the images are violent: barbed wire, blood, radioactive symbols.Artist Anjum Noon painted these images first on canvas, then on the fabric. She says they show the resilience of the Pakistani people despite the country’s violent troubles.“Through this chaos there is still this beautification, and I would rather go there because I know there is resilience there," explains Noon. "I think if I generally speak for all of my beautiful nation -- we are a very resilient people. I love that word, resilience.”But while the message may be universal, for now, it is only the Pakistani elite who would wear such fashion pieces.。

This week, a U.N. panel opens a three-day meeting on the ageing of the global population. It’s part of a process that could lead to a new international treaty to protect the rights of older persons.
This is the fifth session of the Open-ended Working Group on Aging. Its focus is on human rights, the care of older persons, violence, abuse and legal and financial issues. Its work could lead to a U.N. Convention on the Rights of Older People.
One of the groups driving the process is HelpAge International, which began its Age Demands Action Campaign in 2007.
HelpAge Chief Executive Toby Porter explained why he believes a convention is needed for those 60 years of age and older.
“Elder people around the world still suffer a lot of discr imination, a lot of abuse. There really is a sort of feeling that there have been decades of various commitments, plans of action on ageing, international agreements that more needed to be done for the world’s older people, but it hasn’t really delivered enough change.”
He said when such a U.N. convention was approved for the disabled it brought dramatic changes for the better.
HelpAge has collected nearly 300,000 petition signatures – from 112 countries – in support of a convention for older people. The movement has gained the support of Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu of South Africa. In a statement, Tutu said, “This is not a minority issue. We are all growing older.”
Porter said it’s important that people’s rights are protected as they age.
“By protecting people’s rights and ensuring they’re not discriminated against in health services, in the work place, holding property, et cetera, by law, it’s going to benefit society as a whole. Because it’s going to make sure that the contribution of older people can be
m aximized and to make sure that older people aren’t ignored,” he said.
Porter called the campaign a “real grassroots movement” that includes many people “who’ve suffered a lifetime of poverty, exclusion and discrimination.”
“The world is rapidly ageing. It’s a triumph. It’s an unconditional triumph of international and national development that people are living longer lives. The average age of the population is rising significantly and this is a trend that will increase. It won’t decrease. Older age is hope fully everybody’s future,” he said.
The HelpAge chief executive said society faces the challenge of moving beyond negative stereotypes of aging.
“Older people are actually massive contributors to society, massively contributing to their families. And so I really do feel that population aging is going to become one of the most important themes in the world,” he said.
The U.N. Open-ended Working Group on Aging meets in New York from July 30 through August 1.

HANOI — China recently pulled an oil rig from an area of the disputed South China Sea that Vietnam also claims. Despite the action, the incident has had a lingering effect on consumers in Vietnam.
The shelves in this Vietnamese store, like most stores around the country, are filled with Chinese-made products; but, much of it may go unsold, for now, with many Vietnamese consumers still angry over the recent oil rig dispute.
Like she does every year, Phu Lang Huong is taking her children to purchase school supplies.
This time, she says, she will only purchase Vietnamese products.
“China has already withdrawn its oil rig, but my initial thought is, w e are Vietnamese. We have to buy Vietnamese," said Huong.
'Vietnamese People Give Priority to Vietnamese Goods' is part of an ongoing nationwide campaign to promote nationalism.
In May, China placed the drilling platform in disputed waters near the Paracel islands. The location for the oil exploration led to clashes between Chinese ships and Vietnamese fishing boats.
Mai Mai, a college student in Hanoi, says she still uses products made in China, but won't buy new ones.
“After this incident, there are so ma ny slogans on the Internet such as 'stop using Chinese goods.' So many people did try to put their Chinese things away," said Mai.
China was Vietnam's largest trade partner in 2013, with bilateral trade worth $50.21 billion, according to the government in Hanoi.。
