第151期：主餐一道：泛聽練習
以下段落是摘自新聞里的一些重要信息,并不是一個段落的聽寫。空內信息可在本新聞中全部找到,大家可以根據這些信息復述新聞。
一、泛聽建議：
1、完整聽一遍，掌握大意。
2、繼續聽，特別注意關鍵信息。遇到相似的詞，寫下來。
3、復述新聞。
In other news, the government’s _1_ data for the month of May show new homes _2_ at their fastest pace in five years.NPR's Yuki Noguchi reports the Department of Housing and Urban Development says that's a much faster rate than last year.
來看其他新聞，政府公布的五月最新數據顯示，新房銷售量出現五年來的最高漲幅。據NPR新聞的野口由紀報道，美國住房和城市發展部表示，漲幅遠高于去年。
New homes are selling at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 476,000. The last time they _3_ at that pace was in July of 2008. Demand for new homes is up 2% from April and up to 29% from the same period last year. Year over year the data show median home prices are up about 10%. This is consistent with other economic readings on housing, which show demand is up,supply is down, and that prices _4_ annually by double digits. Economists say higher demand _5_ in part by rising interest rates as consumers try to log in while rates are still close to historic lows. Yuki Noguchi, NPR News, Washington.
新房銷售量經季節調整按年率計算為47.6萬套。上次銷售量達到這個水平還要追溯到2008年7月份。新房需求量較4月份上升2%，較去年同期上漲29%。數據顯示，中間房價比去年同期上漲了約10%。這項數據與房市的其他數據相符，需求量上升，供應量下降，價格與去年相比漲幅達到兩位數。經濟學家表示，高需求在某種程度上由不斷上升的利率推動，消費者試圖在利率仍接近于歷史最低水平時購入房屋。NPR新聞，野口由紀華盛頓報道。
US stocks continue to trade higher with the Dow Jones Industrial average up 115 points at 14,772; NASDAQ up 24 at 3,344; S&P 500 up 15 points.
美國股市持續走高，道瓊斯工業平均指數上升115點，報14,772點；納斯達克指數上升24點，報3,344點；標準普爾500指數上升15點。
This is NPR News.
這里是NPR新聞。
詞匯解析：
1、seasonally adjusted 季節調整
2、annual rate年率；年利率
3、be consistent with 與...一致（同近義詞tie in with, fit in with）
eg:Seeing this change is a huge step in the right direction to be consistent with that value.
這個變化將是向著正確方向邁出的巨大一步，與我說的價值觀是一致的。
