2.2 需要稍费周折的获取事实性的具体信息的题目总结2009-2012年PETS2听力真题可以发现：获取事实性的具体信息的题目的答案一般不会直接获取。

我们从下面的例子中进行体会。

例2.2.1（2011-9）12. Who will probably get surprised at the party? (C)A. Maggie.B. The man.C. Jackie.原文：W: Did you hear Jackie’s going to work in another department? We need to have a reallygood party so that we can send her off really well. So, what shall we do?M: Well, why don’t we have a surprise party, Maggie?题目分析：这是一道在设问关键词上做文章的获取事实性的具体信息的题目。

答题关键：这道题设计的巧妙之处在于：设问关键词surprise与干扰项A紧密出现；而正确选项出现在第一句，如果听的时候不仔细或是记忆出现偏差就容易误选。

例2.2.2（2011-9）14. What can an international student expect in a home-stay family? (C)A. A bathroom of their own.B. No choice of meals.C. A shared bedroom.原文：All families provide a single or shared room and a choice of meals. In most cases, students will be expected to share the bathroom.题目分析：这是一道在选项设置上做文章的获取事实性的具体信息的题目。

答题关键：三选项中的关键词：bathroom, choice of meals和shared bedroom在材料中密集出现，给考生做出判断起了很强的干扰作用。

例2.2.3（2011-9）17. What’s the purpose of the program? (C)A. To plan a nice weekend.B. To prepare for New Year’s Day.C. To celebrate the start of a vacation.原文：To celebrate the end of the school year, we’ve prepared for the children all kinds of gifts…题目分析：这是一道在正确选项上做文章的获取事实性的具体信息的题目。

答题关键：正确选项中的the start of a vacation就是the end of the school year的转述。

例2.2.4（2011-3）11. Where does the woman work? (A)A. In a hospital.B. In a lab.C. On a farm.原文：W：Well, AHT stands for animal health technician. I graduated from California’s first AHT class at Peals College. Some of us may work in the countryside taking care of cattle horses or sheep. Some may work in research labs. But most of us work in pet hospitals.M：I know that you work in a pet hospital. What do you do there?题目分析：这是一道先抑后扬的获取事实性的具体信息的题目。

答题关键：考生可能无法从W的相对专业和繁琐的描述中找到头绪，但是当听到M说的…you work in a pet hospital时便可茅塞顿开。

这正是PETS2材料组织的特点之一。

例2.2.5（2010-3）2. What is the speed now? (B)A. 55 miles per hour.B. 70 miles per hour.C. 105 miles per hour. 原文：M: Do you think I am going too fast?W: Of course, the speed limit here is 55 miles per hour, and you are going 15 miles over it.题目分析：这是一道数字计算的获取事实性的具体信息的题目。

答题关键：over 表示“超过”，所以现在的时速是：55+15=70mph 。

例2.2.6（2009-9）9. What does the man plan to do? (C)A. Visit Jenny.B. Go to Scotland .C. Meet friends.原文：Yes, you see, some friends of mine from Scotland are coming down. I haven’t seen them for ages. And I managed to get some tickets for a concert and I promised to take them out to dinner after work. I can’t get out of it , unfortunately. I wish I could.题目分析：这个人拒绝了朋友的要求，他计划去做什么呢？答题关键：这个人说了一大堆的话，但概括起来就是去会见朋友。

What can you suggest?W: What about this tie? It’s made of pure silk.M: My sister already gave him o ne. I’d like something unusual. Let me look around… oh, thatclock looks nice, but …W: Hey, here’s a gift for the man who has everything.M: Oh, a folding toothbrush! That’s a wonderful idea. I’ll take it.7.

He will love it because everything will be paid for, such as air travel, meals, hotel and this is his first time to get out of the States.W: Indeed, you won’t believe how much he is looking forward to it, and how much his little sister admires him.

In the program today let me ask you a question first: what do you think would be the hardest job in Britain? A police officer? Perhaps a deep-sea fisherman? Well, no, according to a recent research, being a London taxi driver takes that prize. It’s really a hard job, really difficult. One reason is the traffic. It’s getting worse and worse in London. For most of us if we have to sit in a traffic jam for a few minutes, we get anxious. But imagine if you had to do that all day, every day as your job. What’s more, passengers get into the taxi and want to get from A to B as quickly as possible. They’re in a hurry and that makes things worse for the drivers.To prepare for the test, would-be drivers have to remember ways and places of interest around central London. This is an area which has about 25000 streets and they need to be able to take passengers from A to B without having to look at a map and without having to ask for directions. It usually takes nearly 3 years to pass the test, so it is also found in the research that parts of the brains of the taxi drivers are actually larger than those in the general population. It seems as if learning all the streets and ways makes a part of the brain grow. Well, anyway, this is a most tiring job. Next time you are stuck in a traffic jam and feel mad, spare a thought for the taxi drivers who have to spend most of their working life in them.19. What makes driving a taxi a hard job in London? (A)A. Bad traffic.B. Confused street names.Text 10Good morning, children and parents. Welcome to the Neighborhood Children’s Club.

It was about two minutes before we were supposed to start.W: No, you’re joking!M: Yeah! I thought, “Ah! What am I gonna do?”W: Could you ask for directions?M: Well, I tried. I asked this old woman but she didn’t speak English and I don’t speak German…W: Didn’t you? Oh, right.M: And then, I realized that I couldn’t remember the name of the bar, or the street it was on or anything. So, you know, I was in the middle of a town I didn’t know, not knowing the language…. and luckily, I saw someone wearing one of our T-shirts. He was obviously going to the concert, so I sort of followed him back to the bar.W: Well, that was lucky! Thank Goodness!M: And when I got there, the guys were like, “Where have you been?
