2015年3月PETS2真题
2015年3月PETS-2详细分析(1)
1.设问方式灵活。
主要体现在：①设问的语境化。
②设问使用同义转述。
③设问点改变。
2.选项设计干扰性强。
材料设计构思巧妙，关键信息点合理分布，给题目设问的灵活性和选项的干扰性提供了条件。
每一道题的选择不仅要求考生听清原文，而且要求考生透彻理解题干，准确捕捉关键信息。
3.事实细节类题目与推理判断类题目比重相当。
事实性的具体信息是理解、把握对话或独白主旨必不可少的内容，也常常是听力部分的重点考查项目。
话语发生的场合、说话者之间的关系等，也是听力测试所要考查的重点项目。
无论对话或独白，设题很少从材料中直接获取，而是更多地要求考生对所听内容进行分析、归纳、总结，并能理解谈话者的言外之意，揣摩谈话者的态度及观点。
PETS-2听力设题的灵活性增加和选项的干扰性增强符合新课标的要求，是PETS-2听力发展的趋势。
采用符合考试要求的材料和试题，学生能听懂并能选出正确的选项，是日常训练的基本目标。
二、具体分析Text 1W: Hi Jack.Could you help me carry these books?M: I’d love to, Mary.But I need to meet Professor Johnson in his office immediately.1.What is Jack going to do?［A］Hurry to his office.［B］Meet Professor Johnson.［C］Help Mary carry the books.【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。
此题从男士的话“I’d love to, Mary. But I need to meet Professor Johnson in his office immediately.”可知，他乐意帮忙，但是，他需要马上去约翰逊教授的办公室和他见面，言外之意就是他不能给她提供帮助。
此题需要考生抓住关键词“but”，一般来讲，当话语中的话题一转，出现but时，就要特别注意but后的内容。

The main reason was a large increase -----nearly 700, 000 in the labor force , with a record 61.9% of the population over sixteen years of age working or actively looking for work. That growth was caused mainly by an increase in the number of women in the labor force , an increase partly because of a continuation of long ----term and economic trends(经济趋势)and partly a reflection of pressure on families to increase their incomes.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the announcement, which of the following statements is correct? （分数：2.00）A.Unemployment in July was higher than it had been since January. √B.Unemployment rose at a steady rate form January to July.C.Unemployment rose by about 7% from June to July.D.Unemployment rose about 7% the first time in July.解析：(2).Why did unemployment increase during the period discussed in the passage? （分数：2.00）A.There are fewer jobs in summer.B.Many companies had dismissed workers.C.The labor force had grown. √D.Records have become more accurate(准确)解析：(3).which of the following is said to be the main reason why more people are looking for work? （分数：2.00）A.Young people start working younger.B.Recent graduates have entered the labor market.C.More people must have tow jobs to support their families.D.More women have entered the job market. √解析：(4).It can be inferred that the labor force described in the passage is made up of __________ （分数：2.00）A.persons whose jobs are not professional(专业的) √B.persons who work at both permanent (永久)and full-time jobsC.those over 16 years of age who are looking for workD.about 60% of the country's population解析：I found myself facing a dry-cleaning store which had once been one of the best restaurants in New York. On Sundays the old man would take my mother and me for dinner.

Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows. That's a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host(主持人)is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about .Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知).Then the host has to answer and explain-how silly this is !It wastes a lot of time . It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don't care what the topic is , whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be. I'm totally bored(厌烦)by those people . It's necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn't know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.（分数：8.00）(1).The sentence, "Some people do nothing but break the whole programme." may tell us that ______. （分数：2.00）A.radio stations use hotlines in a wrong wayB.it is a fact √C.it is a good ideaD.some people have unclear thoughts解析：(2).The host has to answer and explain, ____ . （分数：2.00）A.for the host works hardB.because of the caller's ignorance √C.for the host likes talking to the callerD.because of a lot of questions raised by the caller解析：(3).The passage doesn't tell us the idea ________ . （分数：2.00）A.that some listeners phone the hotlines in funB.that some people just want to be heard by othersC.that some people who don't care what the topic is must have realized that they appear to be silly √D.what the hotline programmes are解析：(4).Which of the following is not true? （分数：2.00）A.Some people know little about the topic under discussion.B.Some people do not know what the host is talking aboutC.Some people do not know what the show is aboutD.The writer tells us that the host is silly. √解析：四、第四节：短文改错(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Every morning John goes to work by trains.

2015考研英语二真题和答案(3)Text 4Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reporled for Jure, along with the drop in the unemployment take to 6 J percent. at good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However there is another important part of the jobs picture that was targely ovedookcd. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000(4,4 percent)above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9 percent)from its year ago level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is yes.they are classified as working part-time. The survey then asks whetherthey worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only elassified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare becanse one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family mrs with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?A. The prospect of a thriving job market.B. The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.C. The possibility of full employment.D. The acceleration of job creation.37. Many people work part-time because theyA. prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobsB. feel that is enough to make ends meetC. cannot get their hands on full-time jobsD. haven t seen the weakness of the market38. Involuntary part-time employment in the USA. is harder to acquire than one year agoB. shows a general tendency of declineC. satisfies the real need of the joblessD. is lower than before the recession39. It can be learned that with Obamacare, .A. it is no longer easy for part-timers to get insuranceB. employment is no longer a precondition to get insuranceC. it is still challenging to get insurance for family mrsD. full-time employment is still essential for insurance40. The text mainly discusses.A. employment in the USB. part-timer classificationC. insurance through MedicaidD. Obamacares trouble答案：36.B the increase of voluntary part-time jobs37.C cannot get their hands on full-time jobs38.B shows a general tendency of decline39.B employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance40.A employment in the USSome Old Truths to Help You Overcorne Toucgh TimesUefortunately, life is not a bed of roses, We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a rontantic relatlonshlp of a house. Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time,but you should remr that they wont last forever.When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventally move as toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths Ive learned along the way.41.Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor will smith once said, Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice. I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.42 .If you are by and43. .Sometimes it is casy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.44..No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remr that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people, You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives. Try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and cncouragement.45 .Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining tivity from external sources. This wayyou devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your of own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.答案：41.D Most of your fears are unreal42.E Think about the resent moment43.G There are many things to be grateful for44.A you are not alone45.C Pave your own unique path。

Today, I’m here to share with you a study we’ve done recently. In the study, we find children gain weight during the summer. We discover that hot weather, unhealthy food, and playing without a good plan all play a role. (17)What happens to our children during the summer? Before we’re able to answer this question, we have to know something about our children at school. During the school year, children have to follow school rules. For example, they must have regular meal times. But this is no longer true in the summer. As far as I know, a lot of children don’t have breakfast and lunch. They just have one huge meal in the middle of the afternoon. (18) This sort of eating behavior surely leads to weight gain. And also, unhealthy food is everywhere. It’s at schools, homes, and offices. In addition, when parents go to work, children are often left by themselves. They can choose to go outside to play or do some reading at home. But most of them just play computer games. (19)I also want to point out that children’s being overweight has a lot to do with the parents.I advise all parents to watch their own habits. (20)In America, almost 65% of our population is overweight, and two-thirds of our children are being raised by overweight parents.参考答案1-5 BACAB 6-10 AABBC 11-15 BCACB 16-20 BAACC。
