PETS3公共英语三级阅读理解考试备考攻略
PETS-3公共英语三级阅读理解考试备考攻略
一、命题规律与高分对策
阅读理解部分由A、B两书面英语的能力。A节3篇文章15题，选项为4选1，考查考生理解总体和特定信息的能力。B节1篇文章5题，考生须从7个选项中排除两个干扰项，将正确的概括与5段文字逐一搭配成对。这是旨要义的能力。在复习阅读理解部分时，首先要复习理解文中的具体信息，并能根据上下文推测文中的生词。同时也要复习根据所读材料进行判断、推理和引申，并理解文中的概念性含义以及句际和篇章的关系。此外还要复习文章的主旨要义，最后还要理解作者的意图、观点或态度以及区分观点、论点和论据的关系。
二、短文理解1的命题思路与解题技巧
(一)命题思路
在PETS三级考试中, 阅读理解部分A节3篇文章15题，选项为4选1，考查考生理解总体和读理解部分全面介绍了大纲规定的阅读能力的构成和培养，包括(1)理解主旨要义;(2)理解文中具体信息;(3)根据上下文推测生词的词义;(4)进行有关的判断、推理和引申;(5)理解文中的概念性含义;(6)理解文章的结构以及单词之间、段落之间的关系;(7)快速阅读较长的文字材料，获取有关信息;(8)理解作者的意图、观点或态度;(9)区分观点、论点和论据;(10)与作者形成有意识的交流。
(二)解题技巧
1. 考生应区分不同的文章题材
PETS三级的阅读理解，一般都属于下列三种题材：记叙文、说明文、议论文。针对不同的文章，考生在做阅读题时要把握不同的解题技巧：
(1)在PETS三级考试中，记叙文考试的重点是考生对故事情节、事件的结局、人物的性格等的把握，在应试的过程中，考生应当密切注意记叙文的六要素。
(2)在阅读说明文时，由于有大量的专业术语，考生千万不要被这些生词吓倒。这些专业术语并不能在很大程度上影响考生对整篇文章的理解。
(3)在阅读议论文时，要特别注意作者的态度观点以及论证方法，尤其是作者说话的语气，这样我们可以从中发现其真正的态度和观点，因为有的英语议论文为了表示客观，作者往往把自己的立场或倾向性隐藏在大量的事实论据之后。考生不能凭自己的看法和倾向去选择，而要尽量揣摩作者的真正观点和言外之意。
2.据不同的题型做不同的处理
阅读理解部分每篇文章的五个问题，一般都会涉及以下五种题型：细节问题、主旨问题、词汇问题、观点问题、推理引申问题。考生要根据不同的题型做不同的处理：
(1)细节问题
这种问题是最基本的考试题目，主要目的是考查学生对文章中某些事实和数据的掌握，例如：时间、地点、人物、数量、事件。这类问题的答案一般都能够在原文中找到，因为这类题目的某些结构、词语和表达方式与原文中的某些句子结构是一致的。
(2)主旨问题
读完一篇文章之后，我们总是会对某篇文章的主要内容有所了解。但是，有些时候，却并不容易抓住文章的中心思想。要想理解文章的主旨，考生就必须从文章中找出主题句。主题句在文章中有时直接可以找到，有时需要考生自己总结和归纳。一般来说，主题句的位置一般比较灵活，有时主题句就是每篇或者每段文章的第一句话;有时主题句出现在每段或者每篇的最后一句话;有时也会出现在文章或段落的中间。
关于主旨题，我们将单独辟一个小章节进行讨论。
(3)词汇问题
虽然说一定数量的词汇是提高阅读能力的必要条件。但是需要强调的是，这里所说的词语问题与单项填空中的词义辨析和语法运用中的词义辨析题是有所不同的，因为阅读理解的词语问题并非是单纯地考查词汇量，而是考查学生在一定的上下文中辨认和推测词意的.能力。
(4)观点问题
有的时候，在文章中会同时出现几种不同的观点，有的是文中谈到的某人的观点，有的是作者本人的观点。而有些情况下，作者只是引用某些人的观点，而并没有明确表示出作者自己的观点，这就需要考生根据文中的某些关键词的用法以及整篇文章的内容加以推理。要想弄清楚作者的观点，特别是从许多种观点中推测出作者的观点。考生要注意文中出现的直接引语和间接引语，因为引语中出现的观点一般都是说话人的观点而不是作者的观点。
(5)推理引申问题 这种题目的解答不仅要靠对上下文相关信息的理解，更重要的是在理解的基础上作出合理的逻辑推断。这样，推理问题就要求考生不仅要有良好的理解能力，更要具有较强的逻辑分析能力。
三、短文理解2的命题思路与解题技巧
B节1篇文章5题，考生须从7个选项中排除两个干扰项，将正确的概括
与5段文字逐一搭配成对。这是考查考生理解文章的主旨要义的能力。它需要考生根据所读材料进行判断、推理和引申，并理解文中的概念性含义，学会抓住文章的主旨要义，理解作者的意图、观点或态度以及区分观点、论点和论据的关系。
B节的内容一般是选自报刊或杂志或访谈节目中的就某一专题对不同人进行的调查访问。内容比较新颖、生活化，语言比较口语化。
B节的解题技巧有与A节共同的地方，如：
(一)抓住文章的主旨要义
如上节所说，抓主旨要义的最简单的方式就是找主题句。值得大家注意的是：在做这类题目的时候，要注意不要将段落的局部信息或者其中的某一个例子误以为是这段话的中心论点。
基于其难度和普遍性，在这里，我们讨论有关主旨题应考策略：
推断短文的主旨大意题是阅读测试中测定考生阅读能力经常出现的一种题，也是考生感到最为棘手、最容易出错的题。在PETS三考试中，主旨推断题不仅频繁出现在阅读测试中，还专门设有一个大题(61-65)全部是有关主旨的。主旨推断题要求考生具有很强的话语篇章把握能力和分析能力，能够从全局的角度对文章括以总领，梳清脉络。可以说，对阅读理解主旨题的把握能力决定了阅读这个整体题项的成败，它也是衡量阅读水平高低的一个重要标尺。所以，如果我们在这个题上能够取得突破，就等于是攻克了阅读当中最顽固的堡垒，其它类型的题也就不在话下了。所谓主旨大意题指针对段落或短文的subject(主题)、main idea(主题思想)、title(题目)或purpose(目的)拟题。尽管题型或用词不尽相同，但所针对的都是段落(或短文)的主旨大意。

Listening is an extremely complex communicative
activity. In order to have a better understanding,
to anticipate what is coming is very important.An
effective listener should continuously develop
more or less specific readiness for what will come
next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it
will be much easier for him to receive the
information.But if what he hears is totally out of
his expectation,he will fail to get the message.
The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening
comprehension depends largely on the listener’s
familiarity with the theme(主题) of the message.It
also depends on the listener’s knowledge of the
speaker as well as the situation. Obviously, when
we listen to something that we already have some
information about, it is generally much easier for

The first rule stepping up your luck is to look for variety.
More variety willresult in a richer life with more opportunities. The
more varied life is, the more likely that unexpected combinations of
events will occur, giving us the chance to improve our situation. Being
able to change is the best way tosurvive in changing, unpredictable
times.
When we are searching for something, like a pair of lost
eyeglasses, it isn't a good idea to always follow the same pattern of
search. Searching for happiness islike that as well. Be flexible. Learn
from your mistakes. Try lots of different possibilities.
Variety is necessary for happiness. No matter how rich our lives
may seem, if they consist only of expected events and repetition,
boredom steps in. We find pleasure in the unexpected and the surprising.

countries it has different meanings. Butwhen British people

My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy. She was three when her parents immigrated
to America in 1926. They lived in Chicago where my grandfather worked making ice-cream. Mama
thrived in the urban environment. At 16 she graduated first in her high school class went on to
secretarial school and finally worked as an executive secretary for a rare wood company. She was
beautiful too. When a local photographer used her pictures in his monthly window display she felt
pleased. Her favorite portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan her hair wind-blown her gaze
reaching towards the horizon.
My parents were married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He was 17 when he left

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year, Rowena will be attending Harvard
University. Billy, her younger brother, hopes to go to Cornell. What makes Rowena and
Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school. In fact, they've never been to school. Since kindergarten, they've studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Billy feels as if they've missed out on anything by being taught at home. Like many of more than
one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.
The home-schooling trend began in the U.S. in the 1980s with parents keeping their
