当雅思口语考news的时候，是在考什么？
1. Are there too many news reports?
There are news reports 24/7. They seem to go on non-stop. It is too much to handle almost. There are a number of different ways to keep up with the news nowadays with many apps and websites overloaded with it. You see some things on the news and wonder why it’s considered as news, when it’s really a waste of time.
reports 24/7 全天候提供报道
non-stop 直达的
too much to handle 太多了以至于不能控制
overloaded 使超载；负担过重
2. Do famous people often appear in the news?
Famous people are often in the spotlight and will appear in the news all the time. In fact, we are bombarded with celebrity gossip so it’s hard to miss it. The news outlets obviously think the masses are interested in every little detail of a famous person’s life.
in the spotlight 处于公众中心；出风头
all the time 一直；总是
bombard v.轰炸；
gossip n.八卦；闲聊
3.What kind of events would be considered as breaking news?
You could say political news, international affairs and major or radical events would fall into this category. Sometimes you will see a program interrupted with breaking news if it’s really important. Every time you visit a newspaper online they mention ‘breaking news’ and you wonder if it’s just a ploy to get more viewers.
fall into this category 这一类型
ploy n.策略，活动，工作
4.What kind of people would often get news coverage in China?
You will see celebrities, sports stars and political figures predominately getting news coverage in China. It’s safe to say they take up a lot of airtime. A case in point is when an actor has released a new movie and you will see them all over the news.
Predominately adv.支配；在..占优势

case in point 恰当的例子
