练习过后，让我们一起查漏补缺总结经验吧~首先来看听力原文：
News item 1
Football is the most popular professional sport in the United States. The National Football League (NFL) championship is called the Super Bowl.
The game is always played on a Sunday, and that day is called “Super Bowl Sunday.”
It is such a big day. It is almost like a holiday for some people. People throw big parties to celebrate and then gather around large televisions to watch the game.
This year, the Denver Broncos football team defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10 to win the championship. Before the game, most people thought Carolina Panthers, the team based in the North Carolina city of Charlotte, would win.
About 70,000 people watched the game in person at Levi’s Stadium in California. And over 100 million people in the US alone watched the game on television.
问题：
1.What is the Super Bowl?
2.Which team won the Super Bowl this year?
News item 2
John and Lisa Robinson of Munford, Tennessee are officially America’s newest multi-millionaires, after cashing in their winning Powerball ticket Friday afternoon.
The couple are the first of the three winners in Wednesday’s historic $1.6 billion draw to publicly identify themselves, appearing this morning on the Today Show before even turning in their ticket.
After their brief appearance in New York, the couple flew back to Tennessee where they met with lottery officials in Nashville to verify their ticket. The momentous occasion was a family affair for the Robinsons, who brought along their daughter Tiffany and even their dog.
Just before 3 pm, officials confirmed that the Tennessee couple’s ticket was genuine. At a press conference, the Robinsons said they decided to take a lump-sum payment of $327.8 million — as opposed to an annuity of about $528.8 million — because they are “not guaranteed a tomorrow.”
问题：
1.What did the couple first do after finding they won in the historic draw?
2.Why did the couple take a lump-sum payment instead of an annuity?
News item 3
Eating fast food after a workout may be just as beneficial as dietary supplements, a study has claimed.
Researchers found that during recovery periods between periods of exercise, it didn’t matter what food was eaten. Performance remained the same after resting for several hours, while levels of glycogen — used by muscles as “fuel”— were actually slightly higher after fast food was eaten as a recovery food.
In the study, 11 male athletes were asked to fast for 12 hours, before a 90-minute endurance workout. After this, half were fed hot cakes, hash browns and orange juice, followed by a burger, fries and a Coke two hours later. However, the researchers said that the experiment included a fairly small sample, and the long-term effects on workout recovery of eating fast food over other healthier sources of food are not known.
问题：
1.What food may be beneficial for workout recovery according to the study?
2.Who were tested in the study?
接下来，总结一下体育类短新闻语言特点吧！
No.1
常用专有名词、缩略词、昵称、数字
专有名词及缩略词
体育新闻语料中有大量关于体育组织或机构、职业或职称、规则以及常用名词、形容词等方面的专有名词或缩写。如
The International Paralympic Committee
（国际残疾人奥林匹克委员会）
The Premier League（英格兰足球超级联赛）
International Olympic Committee
（IOC 国际奥林匹克委员会）
National Basketball Association
（NBA 美国全国篮球协会）
Most valuable player（MVP最有价值球员）
还有很多运动方面的术语，如
shooting percentage（命中率）
travel（持球走步）
block（盖帽）
defence（防守）
approach run（助跑）
clear a hurdle（过栏）
世界各个国家及地区的名称也常以缩略的形式出现，如 CHN（中国）、CAN（加拿大）、FRA（法国）等。
活用昵称
常根据球队或球员的特征灵活地用昵称或绰号来代表该球队或球员。例如，迈克尔·乔丹（Michael Jordan）被称为飞人（Air Jordan）。
使用数字
数字对于体育运动来说是不可或缺的，通常涉及时间、距离、难度、成绩、比分、排名等信息，也在介绍赛事的历史和安排、选手的年龄和成就以及比赛双方的交战记录时广泛使用。
No.2
句式鲜明，修辞丰富
句型、时态、语态特色鲜明
英语体育新闻中用得最多的句型是简单句。其中一般过去时主要用于对赛事过程的描述，一般现在时多用于对选手或观众赛前赛后的采访。此外，主动语态的使用多于被动语态，强调动作的施动方，逼真再现比赛过程。
修辞丰富
常采用音韵、比喻、对偶、夸张等修辞手法。如北京奥运会的宣传口号 One World, One Dream，形式工整对仗，寓意鲜明深刻，非常切合奥运的主题和精神。
