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 1
W: 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。

Text 2
M: Wasn’t Mr.Smith supposed to be at the meeting?
W: Yes, but something came up and he couldn’t make it.
2.What do we know about Mr.Smith?
［A］He missed the meeting.
［B］He was late for the meeting.
［C］He wasn’t invited to the meeting.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

从对话中可知，史密斯先生应该在会议上，但是，出了点事情，所以他不能参会。

此题的重
点类似于第1题，在关键词“but”之后，而且要求学生能够理解“come up”的意思，它在这里与“happen”同义，另外，从最后一句“he couldn’t make it”即“missed it”就能够确定他没来参会。

此题材料比较灵活，但从选项来看，B、C选项干扰性不大，相对容易。

Text 3
W: What were you doing yesterday evening?
M: I was watching TV at home. Why?
W: I called you but you didn’t answer.
M: Sorry. My phone was out of order. I didn’t hear anything.
3.Why did the man fail to answer the phone?
［A］The TV was too noisy.
［B］He went to sleep early.
［C］His phone was broken.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题问男士没接电话的原因，解题的关键点在男士说的话“My phone was out of order. I didn’t hear anything.”，即手机出了故障，没听见。

此题需要理解“out of order”的意思，与选项中的“broken”的意思相对应。

要求考生具有对信息进行适当转化的能力，即同义词句的转化。

Text 4
M: I’ve heard the company is sending you to Germany for the new project.
W: Yes. It’s been a long time since I was there, so I guess it’s time to practice my German.
4.Why is the woman going to Germany?
［A］To work there.［B］To visit friends.［C］To study German.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题从男士的话“I heard the company is sending you to Germany for the new project.”可知女士将被公司派到德国工作。

从关键词“the company”及“the new project”可推断出她是去工作。

再从女士的回答答“Yes”，可以确定她是对此事的肯定，而她后面的话语只是起了干扰的作用，与问题的答案无关。

Text 5
W: I’d like to go to the picnic with you but I won’t be able to drive at night.
M: Don’t worry, Sarah. If the picnic ends late, we can drive you home. Come with us.
5.What is the man trying to do?
［A］Tell Sarah when the picnic ends.
［B］Persuade Sarah to go to the picnic.
［C］Ask Sarah to drive him to the picnic.
【解析】考查考生理解说话者的意图、观点和态度的能力。

从对话中男士的话“Don’t worry, Sarah. If......, we can...... Come with us”，并结合女士一开始的担忧可知，男士正在说服女士跟他一起去野餐。

Text 6
W: Excuse me. I will stay in the city for a few days, and I’d like to know what’s on.
M: Well, there’s Tea House at the Capital Theater. They say the play is very good.
W: When is it on exactly?

W: Thank you.
此段材料比较简洁，从第一句可知，女士在这个城市旅游，接着是她在询问戏剧及其上演时间。

6.Who is the woman?
［A］A musician. ［B］An actress. ［C］A tourist.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题考查的是人物身份。

从对话中女士的话“I’ll stay in the city for a few days”可以推断，她只是在这待几天的一个游客。

对话中没有直接说明人物身份，而是需要考生根据对话中所提供的特定情境和谈话内容，对说话人的身份进行推理判断。

7.On what has the woman get information about?
［A］A theater. ［B］A house. ［C］A play.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题的三个选项录音材料中均有提到，但是纵观整段对话可知，谈话双方主要在聊戏剧及其上演时间。

Text 7
M: Hello.
W: Good morning, sir. Welcome to London Heathrow Airport.Where are you going?
M: I’ll going to Taipei by way of Hong Kong.
W: Your passport and ticket, please. Will you be checking in any bags, Mr.Lewis?

W: What kind of seat would you like, Mr.Lewis?
M: Window, please.
W: Your flight 923 will board at Gate 35. It is 9 o’clock now, and boarding will begin in 2 hours,
30 minutes before the flight takes off. And here is your boarding pass. Have a good trip,

M: Thank you! Bye!
此段材料内容涉及旅行话题，男士在办理登机手续。

8.Where does the man aim to go?
［A］Taipei. ［B］London. ［C］Hong Kong.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

此题相对简单，由男士的话“I’m going to Taipei by way of Hong Kong.”即可得出答案，他是要去Taipei。

9.How many pieces of luggage is the man checking in?
［A］None. ［B］One. ［C］Two.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

此题可以直接得出，即“Will you be checking in any bags, Mr. Lewis?”“Just one.”男士是要托运一个包，但要特别注意的是，不要被他后面的这句话“And I have this carry-on bag.”所干扰。

需要考生正确理解两个短语：carry-on bag表示可以带上飞机的包，而check in是表
示托运的意思。

10.When does the man’s flight leave?
［A］At 9:00. ［B］At 11:00. ［C］At 11:30.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题从女士的话“It is 9 o’clock now, and boarding will begin in two hours, 30 minutes before the flight takes off.”可知现在是9点，两个小时后登机，即11点，而登机开始于起飞前半个小时，由此可知起飞时间是11:30。

此题数字信息密集，而且需要简单计算，这就要求考生在平时的训练中，解答此类题时做到随手记录数字信息，把握关键信息。

M: Hi, Carrie. How are you doing?
W: Hi, Andrew. I’m OK, I suppose. Not too bad.
M: How is your job going?
W: Oh, that’s not OK. I’ve moved to a new office and I just hate it. The people are unfriendly.
Actually, I’m looking for a new job.
M: Oh, really? Me, too! I’m just so bored with my job. I’ve been there for too long.
W: So what kind of job are you looking for?
M: Well, I don’t know for sure. Maybe something in the travel industry. I’d love to work somewhere nice and warm. Spain is my first choice.
W: I see. It would be lovely to go and live abroad, wouldn’t it? Hey, maybe we should go there together to set up a travel business.
M: The problem is I don’t speak Spanish. It’ll be difficult for me to start a business there.
W: I don’t speak Spanish either, but it doesn’t matter. We should give it a try.
M: Well, one day maybe. Anyway, let’s go for lunch. We haven’t seen each other for quite some time.
此段材料内容涉及工作的话题，谈话者谈论了各自的工作情况及将来的打算。

11.How does Carrie feel about her job?
［A］It is quite OK. ［B］It is not bad. ［C］It is unpleasant.
【解析】考查考生理解说话者的意图、观点和态度的能力。

从女士的话“Oh, that’s not OK. ... and I just hate it. The people are unfriendly.”可知，她现在的工作并不令人愉快。

12.What seems to be Andrew’s future plan?
［A］Learn to speak Spanish.
［B］Find a new job in Spain.
［C］Start a travel business.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题问男士将来的打算，从女士的问话“What kind of job are you looking for?”及男士的回答“... I’d love to work somewhere nice and warm. Spain is my first choice.”可知他打算到西班牙找工作。

对话中提到Spanish，但是都跟learn无关。

而“Start a travel business”是女士的建议，从男士的回答“The problem is I don’t speak Spanish. It’ll be difficult for me to start a business there.”及“Well…one day, maybe.”可知他并没有去西班牙创业的打算。

此题干扰性比较强，需要仔细区别选项，并通过对话内容真正理解男士的想法。

13.What is the relationship between Carrie and Andrew?
［A］Good friends. ［B］Fellow workers. ［C］Travel companions.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题问人物关系。

纵观整段材料可以得知他们并非同事，从对话的最后“Anyway, let’s go for lunch. We haven’t seen each other for quite some time.”可知两人是好朋友。

此题与第6题同属一类，对话中没有对人物关系作出直接的说明，而是需要考生根据对话中所提供的特定情境和谈话内容，对说话人的关系进行推理判断。

Text 9
W: Good evening, and welcome to Young Writers of the Year. At only 19, this Oxford student has already published a novel. He is a student in Physics, but has a special interest in English writing. As you probably know, his novel is based on his childhood experience. And he is particularly popular among college students. Now, we’re very happy to have Simon with us tonight. Simon, welcome to the program!
M: Thanks. It’s a pleasure to be here. I was lucky, I suppose. Here I am now with a published novel on my first attempt.
W: So could you tell us more about your novel?
M: Well, it’s called My Diary, and it’s kind of an everyday story of my life and schooling in South Africa. You know, my father is a news reporter, and I stayed there with him for three years. W: We learned that while studying at Oxford, you worked as a volunteer in Vietnam during summer vacations. Are you going to make what you are learning from Vietnam the subject of your next novel?
M: I can’t say at the moment, I’m afraid. I’m very much interested in the history of Vietnam though. I plan to work there when I graduate.
W: Well, it sounds exciting and interesting. Thank you for coming, Simon.
此段材料是一段访谈性的对话，女士在对一位已经出版了一本小说的牛津在校生进行访谈。

14.What does Simon study at Oxford?
［A］English. ［B］Physics. ［C］History.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

此题相对简单，三个选项在录音材料中均有提到，但是，从对话中的“He is a student in physics”即可得出答案。

15.What is Simon’s first novel about?
［A］His father’s work as a reporter.
［B］His experience in South Africa.
［C］His volunteer work in Vietnam.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

题目问男士的第一部小说的内容，从男士的话中“it’s kind of an everyday story of my life and schooling in South Africa”可知小说是关于他在南非生活、学习的经历。

选项中的“His experience”是对“an everyday story of my life and schooling”的总结概括。

16.What does Simon plan to do after graduation?
［A］Go on to study abroad.
［B］Write his second novel.
［C］Find a job in Vietnam.
【解析】考查考生根据所获取的信息进行简单推断的能力。

此题从男士的话“I plan to work there when I graduate.”可知他毕业后打算到越南找工作，“to work there”即“to find a job there”。

此题与第12题有异曲同工之处，材料都是work there，试题都转化成了find a job。

由此可见此类的设题技巧及这种词句在口语表达中的使用。

M: Hello, everyone. 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. What happens to our children during the summer? Before we are 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. 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. 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. In America, almost 65% of our population is overweight. And two thirds of our children are being raised by overweight parents.
此段材料关于一项调查研究。

材料内容涉及美国儿童暑期增肥原因及对家长的建议。

17.Which is a reason for children’s weight gain in the summer?
［A］Watching TV. ［B］Lack of sleep. ［C］Hot weather.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

从材料中“We discover that hot weather, unhealthy food, and playing without a good plan all play a role.”可以得知，造成儿童增肥的原因中只有hot weather与其中一个选项一致，其它两项均未提及。

此题相对简单，可以直接得出答案。

18.How many meals do a lot of children have daily in the summer?
［A］One. ［B］Two. ［C］Three.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

从材料中“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.”可知，很多孩子就在下午的时候大吃一顿。

此题也比较简单，可以直接得出答案。

19.What do most children choose to do when they are left by themselves?
［A］Go outside and play.
［B］Read books at home.
［C］Play computer games.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

从材料中“But most of them just play computer games.”可以直接得出答案。

这里再次提醒考生，A、B项在材料中都提到了，解题的关键点依然是我们前面说的要特别注意“but”后面的
内容。

20.What does the speaker suggest parents do?
［A］Pay attention to their own habits.
［B］Prepare good food for children.
［C］Spend more time with children.
【解析】考查考生获取事实性信息的能力。

从材料中“I advise all parents to watch their own habits.”可知，谈话者建议家长们注意自己的习惯，“watch”即同义转化为“pay attention to”。

三、特点详述
总体而言，本次考试延续以往二级考试独有的风格，透过熟悉的话题，巧妙的试题来考查对语言的综合运用能力。

选项和材料内容的普遍干扰，语言的口语化，使得少数题目学生即使听懂了材料，也有可能选不对答案，所以学生在平时的训练中要选用符合二级考试标准的材料与试题进行训练。

纵观二级考试真题，我们发现听力考试越来越重视对学生真实听力水平以及日常交际能力的考查。

建议如下：
（1）广泛接触各种日常话题和各方面的题材，精听泛听双管齐下，熟悉生活场景词汇及表达，练习相关的英文口语表达，以促进听力能力水平的提升；
（2）加强基础知识的学习，如理解字、词、句的准确含义及言外之意，掌握句子结构，选择信息点丰富，题目灵活，选项干扰性强，话题与长度符合考试要求的资料有针对性的进行训练。

学生要多听多练，真正理解材料，熟悉设问点，训练思维。

（3）老师需要从整体上熟悉和揣摩二级听力的话题特点、设问方式及选项特点，甄别好的练习材料，训练学生听力答题思维，并增加各方面日常话题的练习，鼓励学生留心观察生活，积累素材。

（4）平时训练时尽量听与正常语速接近的材料。

可多看些美剧及原版电影，体验真实的对话场景，训练时候采用不同的录音主播，提高自己的适应能力，以不变应万变，做到能真正听懂外国人的交谈。
