最新公共英语三级听力试题重点讲解
最新公共英语三级听力试题重点讲解主旨大意题顾名思义,主旨大意题要求考生在听懂短文的基础上归纳出短文的主题思想,其中还包括为短文选择最合适的题目和对作者的结论或意图进行判断归纳。
这类题目主要着眼于对全篇总体上的理解。
此类题常见的提问方式有:What is the main idea/topic/subject/chief purpose of this passage?What is the best title for this passage?What does the passage tell us essentially?What is the subject they are talking about?What did the speaker mainly discuss/talk about?推理判断题这类题型要求考生根据所听到的内容推断出材料所暗示的内容,例如:情节的'发展趋势,作者的态度、倾向性等。
推断题考查思维的逻辑性,要求能够以语篇为基础进行合理的推测。
该类题型常见的提问方式如下:What will be dealt with in the following paragraph?What does the passage probably imply at the end?What can we learn/infer from the passage?What does the author impiy by saying?What does the story imply?这类题型有两个特点:一是难度高;二是逻辑性强。
推断题不仅要求考生把握原文信息,还要能够在此基础上合理地进行推断。
关键在于这个“合理”的尺度较难把握,因为大部分推断题只要求在材料论述的内容范围内进行推测。
如何过多加入自己的理解,可能会超出材料内容,选出错误的结果。

Which of the following words best describes Mrs. Edwards feeling at the end of this story?[A] Embarrassed. [B] Disappointed.[C] Delighted. [D] Proud.听力原文All the housewives who went to the supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free groceries. This may be your lucky day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things, which she did not need.In vain her husband tried to dissuade her. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Madam, thisis your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are the lucky customer and everything in your basket is free! ”答案:1.B 2.A 3.B 4.B。

公共英语三级听力技巧解析
公共英语三级听力技巧解析精品文档公共英语三级听力技巧解析下面是小编整理的公共英语三级考试听力解题分析,提供给大家阅读,希望对你们有启发。
对于听力,大家要注意,听懂与听不懂最关键的,可能就在于一个句子中的单词不认识。
因为在句子当中,可能会出现连读、失爆、吞音等状态。
平常在听的时候要注意模仿,背诵一些有用的句型。
如果短期内提高听力有难度,平常要多注意认真去听带子,模仿带子,听任何东西都是要先听,再去看,先培养听的感觉,打开看一下,跟你听的有什么差异,再合上书去练,反复去练。
读句子中的连读、失爆、吞音等要注意简单的语音知识。
考生可以一个题型一个题型进行练习。
短对话、长对话以及篇章等等。
大家在听的过程中一定要先做题,看看哪个地方没听懂,反复听,看能不能听会。
注意在听的过程中,什么影响你作选项了。
听力中,也有解题技巧和方式。
听长对话时,可能会出现but,如果前面没听懂或没听清楚,突然听到but出现,可能这个后面的句子就是某道题选择的答案句。
大家在技巧和方法方面一定要多听多熟悉。
首先要熟悉各个级别的口语考试程序,一般情况是跟老师简单打招呼,老师会根据你的情况提出两到三个问题。
第二项,可能会给个表格,让你根据图片答题或提问。
这是两个过程,一个是给你图片的时候让你答,一个是给你图片1 / 4精品文档的时候让你问。
不管跟你一起考试的伴儿跟你配合得如何,千万不能因为他影响你的正常发挥。
PETS二级以上开始有随机性的问题,根据所答篇目,每个步骤每个级别有严格的时间限制,一个问题没有答出来,千万不要影响其他五个问题的发挥。
做口语过程当中希望大家注意到一点,说话不能特别少,如果说话特少的话,你就处于比较被动的状态,老师可能评分比较难一些。
对你能不能过这个考试就成了个问号。
第二个,说话过多也不是一件很好的事。
如果说话过多的话,会暴露组织语言的用词、语法等等问题。
大家在做PETS口试时,建议大家还是要在口语老师的指点之下,多背一些经典的模板,不会的时候可以让他去重复,用英语去说都可以。
最新 PETS三级听力测试命题分析及探究
PETS三级听力测试命题分析及探究在听力这一部分中,考生要做到以下几点:1.理解主旨要义(M代表男声,W代表女声.0代表问题。
以下同)例如,你将会听到如下的录音材料:M: I bought you a suit for our anniversary.W: Thank you, Bill, I love you.Q: Who bought a suit?下面有3个备选答案:[A] She bought him a suit.[B] He bought himself a suit.[C] He bought her a suit.从对话中我们可知,男士Bill为他的妻子买了一件衣服,作为结婚一周年的礼物,所以正确答案是[C]。
2.获取事实性的具体信息例如,你将会听到如下的录音材料:M: Excuse me. Can you tell me how much the shirt is.’?W: Yes. It’s nine fifteen.Q: How much is the shirt?下面有3个备选答案:[A]£19.15.[B]£9.15.[C]£9.18.从对话中我们可知,衬衫的价格是9镑l5便士,所以正确答案是[B]。
3.推断讲话者的关系当谈话的一方用比较含蓄的方式表达自己的意思时,就不能只从表面上寻找问题的答案了。
这时候,考生需要根据对话中的关键词、上下文及人物的语气、语调等隐性成分进行推断。
一般来说,第三级考试的听力部分重点在于对事实性信息的获取,推测和判断的题目比较少,但是对于这一类试题,考生也不可以忽略。
例如,你将会听到如下的录音材料:W: What can I do for yo u, sir.’?M: I want some beef and...根据两个人的对话内容和语气,我们可以推断出这个女子是一个餐厅的服务员,而那位男士则是来用餐的顾客。
4.分析对话者的观点或态度这一类试题的答案也是由推导得出的。

Unit 4Section One Tactics for ListeningPart 1 Spot DictationStephen Powelson’s Amazing MemoryWhen Stephen Powelson was nine, his school organized a (1) weekly contest in memorizing passages from the Bible. Stephen paid (2) no attention until he was chided* for (3) not competing. The next Sunday he surprised everyone by (4) reciting all the passages for the (5) entire year.As a teenager in prep school, Stephen took Greek. His teacher (6) assigned 21 lines of the Iliad* to be memorized (7) in a week. At the end of the hour - though he (8) insisted he paid full attention to the (9) lecture - Stephen knew all 21. He went on to memorize the first (10) 100 lines.In 1978, for the first time (11) since college, Powelson, now 60, had some (12) spare time. To keep his mind active, he reread the Iliad and (13) discovered that he still knew the first 100 lines (14) by heart.That someone could memorize so much between ages 60 and 70 is (15) astonishing to most people, who are (16) convinced that memory (17) worsens as we grow older.Powelson's method is to (18) read a book into his tape recorder, then read it several more times, making sure he understands (19) each word. "Also," he says, "I attempt to (20) visualize myself as part of the action."Part 2 Listening for GistWoman: Surgery.Stone: Good afternoon. My name's Frank Stone.

Woman: Then what about 6: 15?Stone: Well, that's fine. Thank you.

You have breakfast and a lecture there and then go by coach to Mansoura, where there are beautiful coves. After lunch you can walk along the beach, to Kerkouane. The walk takes about four hours.

Then by coach to Kelibia, a fishing village, in time for sunset over the harbor.Client: That sounds rather a long walk.Agent: Well, it's an easy walk. Flat all the way, and very pretty. But you can go by coach, if you prefer. The third day you spend in Hammamet on Cap Bon, and the day is free to enjoy the town. It's a lovely old town and resort.

Louis, the United States, to restore the endangered Mexican gray wolf, the rarest and most genetically distinct subspecies of gray wolf in North America.After more than a century of assault by humans, the wolf population had dwindled to no more than a handful by the 1970s in Mexico and the American southwest.The research center, popularly known as the Wolf Sanctuary*, was foundedin 1971 by Marlin Perkins, a world-renowned naturalist and former director of the St. Louis Zoo, and his wife Carol. Besides the Mexican wolf, the sanctuary works with the endangered red wolf, named wolf, swift fox / and African wild dogs.In the late 1970s, the last seven known wolves were captured in the wild or taken from zoos to begin the breeding program. In 1981, the first captive-bred litter of Mexican gray wolves produced in the federal program was born at the Wild Canid Center, and the first release into the wild took place in 1998. The program is now about halfway to meeting its goal of a "wild" population of at least 100 wolves covering more than 12,800 square kilometers.Though in captivity themselves, Francisco and Sheila taught their pups so well that many are thriving in the wild. They were ideal parents. They raised 25 babies, taught them good survival skills and sent many of them off to live on their own.Nine of Francisco and Sheila's offspring were among the first 11 captive-born Mexican gray wolves released in 1998. Both parent wolves have since died - Francisco at age 14 in December. Sheila at age 16 in June 2000 - but they lived, as captive wolves often do, roughly twice as long as wolves in the wild. Today the Wild Canid Survival and Research Center in Eureka estimates that 98 percent of Mexican wolves released from the federal program are descendants of the prolific* lobo* pair.About 250 lobos now live in captivity at 45 US and Mexican facilities. TheWild Canid Center, however, has produced more puppies and housed more Mexican grays than any other facility.The Wild Canid Center is ideated* on 25 isolated hectares within Washington University's Tyson Research Center. The wolves live in large outdoor enclosures with minimal human contact. They learn to hunt, raise young, live in natural family packs, and to be suspicious of people - all necessary skills for surviving in the wild.Decisions about mating, movement among the 45 captive-breeding facilities and releases into the wild are made by a US-Mexican committee of scientists, land owners and others. They also maintain a genetic database. A wolf with rare genes - until it has successfully reproduced - will never be released because of the high mortality rate in the wild. It's not uncommon for freed wolves to be struck by cars or shot by hunters; in recent weeks, five have died.Despite the losses, released wolves are reproducing. The recovery program is gradually moving away from freeing captive-born wolves, as the population of pups born free takes off. Scientists want to let nature decide what's a good wolf and what's not through natural selection.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionThe wolf is a large member of the canine family. Most of the adult grey wolves weigh in the vicinity of 75 to 125 pounds (34 to 56 kilograms). Wolves live in family groups called packs. A pack is usually made up of a male parent, a femaleparent, their pups and a few other adult wolves who are the older brothers and sisters. Wolves can run up to 40 miles an hour and can easily cover 50 miles a day.The wolf has developed the capacity to survive in the most inhospitable of climates. The wolves in the high arctic endure several winter months of perpetual darkness. Even in February when the sun returns to the north, temperatures of -40°C and bitter winds are common. In the wild wolves can live up to 13 years or more; in a protected wolf park or a controlled area of land, a wolf can live to be up to 16 years old.

It's hardly noticeable, nestled between two office buildings and surrounded by a chain link fence. There are no written signs that hint of the structure's controversial history. Four decades ago it was a symbol of racial segregation. During the 1960s, bus terminals like other public facilities throughout the American south were divided into white areas and black areas. The building still has the separate entrance and restroom facilities that black customers were legally required to use. Today, those elements have a different social value, and they will become one of the centerpieces of a new African American history museum.The museum will include galleries devoted to the accomplishments of George Washington Garver* and other black scientists and inventors. There will be a gallery depicting black heroes of military and social campaigns.And the city of Dothan is helping.

The online music site CD Now describes her as "a relative rarity, a rock singer who fits perfectly in a low-key jazz context."Growing up in Texas, Norah attended the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing Arts, then majored in jazz piano at the University ofNorth Texas before heading to New York City. Norah comments, "The music scene there is so huge and exciting. Everything opened up for me, and I couldn't leave." Norah wrote songs and played in nightclubs. In 2000, she put a demo tape together, and that led to a contract with Blue Note, the famous jazz label.Norah likes to downplay* the fact that she's the daughter of the famed Indian musician Ravi Shankar. He played a marginal role in her childhood, and she was brought up by her American mother. Norah admits, "I love my dad, but I didn't grow up with him and my music has nothing to do with him. I just don't want that to be the focus."Norah was influenced by jazz, pop and rhythm and blues, and classic vocalists* such as Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. Her new album Come Away With Me features her own songs, as well as covers by diverse artists and songwriters such as J. D. Loudermilk, Hank Williams and Hoagy Carmichael.Norah Jones has been receiving rave reviews in publications such as Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times magazine. Rolling Stone magazine included her in their recent article, "The Next Wave: 10 Artists To Watch."Norah says, "I feel like this record is a pretty full expression of where I am now. I don't know if it can be classified as jazz or pop music. Hopefully, it can be appreciated by fans of both. It has lots of different elements. In the end though, it's all about the songs."Exercise ADirections: Listen to the radio program and complete the summary.This radio program is about singer Norah Jones' background and her popularity now.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the program again and complete the following form.A Gifted SingerPart 2 PassageSafari1)A blur of gold was spotted through the high, wind-whipped grasses and off wewalked toward the lion's den.2)He couldn't stop smiling as we crept closer and closer into the glow of theday's last light.3)Just a meter away from the lions a straggling buffalo loped by, but ourappearance seemed to distract them and the buffalo got away.4)Under an open sky we winded our way through cracked sun-baked pathways.Our guides knelt in the sand, pointing out the differences between the various animal tracks.5)Thrashing in the water a mauve-colored hippo grunted, snapped his giantjaws, and lunged forward.We kept our distance behind a log on the banks of the river.A blur of gold was spotted through the high, wind-whipped grasses and off we walked toward the lion's den*. We glanced at each other nervously, but forged ahead. My friends and I had come to experience the African bush on foot, so, gulping, we fell in shaky step behind our two ranger guides. Their rifles were at the ready. So were our zoom lenses. Seeing lions was a special treat, even for our veteran guide, and he couldn't stop smiling as we crept closer and closer into the glow of the day's last light.About 150 meters ahead we counted 10 lions sitting in a semicircle in the grass. Their heads poked up through the grass thicket, listening, aware.Just a meter away from the lions a straggling* buffalo loped by. Perhaps the lions' intended dinner? But our appearance seemed to distract them and the buffalo got away.We were in the Kruger National Park*, the largest game park in SouthAfrica, on a guided walking safari.Kruger National Park is the country's main game* reserve. Roughly the size of Wales, it stretches for almost 2.5 million hectares across a maze of ecozones from flat scrubby bush, dense shrub-like Mopane tree covered hillsides to lush valleys.For three nights home was a circle of thatched roof two-person huts tucked behind a leafy grove of trees in an enclosed camp that included toilets and hot (mostly) showers.Dinner was served around an open fire, a massive kettle of hot water for tea or coffee steaming on a nearby pile of smoldering coals.The only light after dark were swaths of luminous stars overhead and our kerosene* lanterns.We joked that we had arrived to the catered version of "Survivor".The first morning we climbed out from beneath mosquito nets to the muffled sounds of an elephant munching on a tree behind our huts, which were separated only by several meters and a wire mesh fence.As if the elephant was not wake-cup call enough, outside each hut a jug of water had been poured into a plastic basin for a quick face wash before hitting the trails.Under an open sky we winded our way through cracked sun-baked pathways through baobab* and kudu* berry trees. Our guides knelt in the sand,pointing out the differences between the various animal tracks.A line in the sand told a crocodile had recently slipped into a nearby pool.Later we saw a crocodile sunning on a rock not far from where we had been swimming the day before.In the same area we had a sunset sighting of a mauve*-colored hippo* who was not happy to see us.Thrashing in the water he grunted, snapped his giant jaws, and lunged* forward. We kept our distance behind a log on the banks of the river where we later got a glimpse at a family of baboons*.On our last evening streaks of orange made the sky glow as if on tangerine* fire. We were all on a high from our lion sighting.I inhaled the colors, the silhouette* of buffalos grazing near a watering hole, the evening dropped in temperature and squeezed a friend's hand.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionHere are the top parks for anAfrican safari:The beautiful Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the world-famous Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, the lush green Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park in Botswana and the Etosha National Park in Namibia.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

转折题型这种题型出现的频率很高,其特征是:第一个说话人所说的不是十分重要;第二个说话人的答话由两部分组成:先是一个简单的短句,紧接着是一个较长的句子,短句与长句之间常用but, though, however等转折意思的词语连接,从而引起的作者态度及谈论重点的变化。
人物身份题型在这类对话中,由于说话人之间的关系不同,其用词、造句、语气都有区别。
这是听录音时要抓的关键之一,在此基础上再捕捉有关信息,然后判断、推测人物之间的关系及其身份。
这类题比较简单,考生只要抓住那些与职业和身份有关的关键词即可回答。
这类题目与询问地点的考题有类似之处。
常见的提问形式有:Who is the man/woman?What is the man’s/woman’s job/profession/occupation?What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?Who is the man/woman most probably speaking to?考题中常涉及的职业或人物身份关系及相关信息词有:老师和学生(teacher and student):grade, mark, score, term, course, assignment, pass, fail, scholarship, tuition, campus, dormitory, lab, experiment...医生和病人(doctor and patient):fever, cough, cold, headache,injection,prescription, diagnose, temperature, medicine, blood pressure, heart disease, flu, surgery...侍者和顾客(waiter/waitress and customer):menu, order, reserve, steak, ham, salad, soup, coffee, juice, hamburger, sandwiches, buffet, bar, brandy, whisky, dessert, tip...司机和乘客(driver and passenger):taxi, fare, get off, change, tip, destination...老板和秘书(boss and secretary):typing, operating, copy, files, document, report, telephone, appointment, timetable, arrangement...理解归纳题型这类对话题出现的频率很高,问题的答案在对话中没有直接提供。
PETS三级听力心得技巧:含义推断题
考点提要1、对选项的理解的替换2、选项的混淆1)声音上的混淆2)形象上的混淆3)意思上的混淆3、问题的替换4、脑筋急转弯解题1、看清问题2、对症下药,听关键词3、意义理解找对路含义推断题无法从对话中直接找到答案,从上下文推导答案1、选项特征四个选项为长难句2、问题特征What + 关键词+ mean?What do we learn from the conversation?What can we infer from the conversation?What can be concluded from the conversation?What does the passage infer / imply?含义推断题主要根据两个对话者所谈的内容进行进一步的推断,从更深层次上考查考生对对话内容的理解程度。
1、听清语调表达的意义降调:表示对事物的肯定升调:表示对事物的怀疑、否定和不解2、委婉否定和虚拟语气在含义推断题中所占比例不小,所以掌握这两种语法是正确解题的关键3、第二个讲话人的具体内容往往是解题中心4、需要运用一定的英语国家文化背景以及常用的习语表达方式W: Look here, darling. The paper says people tend to feel unwell if they sleep less than six hours a day.M: That may be true for you, but it certainly isn't true for me.Q: What can we conclude from the man's reply?A) He wants to have more sleep.B) His wife doesn't sleep well.C) Women need more sleep than men.D) He doesn't need as much sleep as his wife.答案是D。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的公共英语三级听力考试解题技巧附题型解析,希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!听力试题技巧:1. 长对话出题的顺序和文章的顺序一致,因此在听力开始前应当充分利用空隙时间迅速浏览四个选项,了解对话大意,做到有的.放矢。
2. 和听力短文非常相似,长对话在文章开始时就点明文章大意,而且考题中也会考查文章的主题,因此考生在考试时应当集中注意力抓住主题。
3. 点明主题后,随后的部分围绕这一主题展开,每个方面的论述类似短对话的问答形式,考试的重点往往落在回答中,因此考生如果能掌握短对话各种题型特点和应试技巧,那么对这类题目就会轻车熟路了。
4. 长对话内容比较,题量也比较大,因此适当地做些笔记是非常有必要的。
一、学会听前读选项预测内容对待选项应采取快速阅读的方法,一定要避免逐词阅读,否则就不可能在听录音前看完选项。
选项的长短、繁简不一,具体处理方法也要有所不同。
选项都比较短时,可采用扫视法。
扫读选项,大体了叫内容。
当选项较长时,可分两步处理:第一步,纵观全文,以发现其共同成分;第二步,采用竖读方法,着重看区别。
选项(尤其是较长的选项)之间往往有相同的内容。

The violin was, after all, worth more than $20,000.But Midori persisted; she longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was handed a package: a tiny violin, about half the normal size.Almost from the moment Midori was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practiced together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.One day Johnston, an American musician, heard Midori playing the violin. He couldn't believe she was just eight years old. "She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States," the musician said.A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. In 1982, Midori and her mother moved to New York city, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.正确答案:1. D 2. A 3. D 4. C解题思路:1.第一段直接提到她母亲是个音乐家。
