PTE阅读的难点首先在词汇量上,PTE词汇量要求比雅思托福要高,而且文章话题以科学研究、人文历史等学术文章居多,这些话题的词汇对于许多同学来说非常陌生;
第二,由于很多同学习惯在阅读过程中在文本上做记号,但PTE阅读无法做记号,只能在稿纸上做笔记,因此由于阅读习惯的改变会浪费很多时间;另外,PTE阅读时间只有机器给的总时间和所剩题目,因此许多同学由于时间分配不当,可能会在简单的题目上失分。
PTE阅读中包含的题目种类有:
Multiple Choice, choose multiple answer(多选题),
Multiple Choice, choose single answer(单选题),
Fill in the blanks-drop down list(从下拉列表中四个词中选择一个恰当的词填空),
Reorder Paragraph(将打乱顺序的句子正确排序),
Fill in the blanks-choose one from the below box(从文章底部方框中选择一个恰当单词或词组拖拽至空格中)
对于PTE考察的题型除了单选多选这种大家较为熟悉的出题方式之外,fill in the blanks和reorder graph这几类PTE独有的题型更为考察我们的正确逻辑架构。
在PTE阅读中较为常见的逻辑关系即:对比,递进,疑问,因果,并列,解释关系等。
下面为大家列举上述几种逻辑关系的一些标志性逻辑连接词:
因果关系:标志词汇有for, because, since, therefore等;
转折关系:标志词汇有but, yet, although, however, on the contrary, on the other hand, instead等;
并列递进关系:标志词汇有and, indeed, also, besides, similarly, like, accordingly, in the same way, meanwhile, furthermore, moreover等;
解释关系:标志词汇有that is, that is to say, for example, such as, namely, in other words等;
除了掌握上述这些逻辑连接词,文章大意以及上下文语意关联也是我们需要非常重视的。拿Fill in the blanks一道题目举例来说:
•The practice of giving graduation gifts seems to be alive and well, despite _______ economic times. A recent study in the US has shown that while families may not have as much to spend, they are being more_____ in the gifts they bestow. Lavish celebrations and large lump_______ seem to have gone by the wayside in favor of smaller, more thoughtful gifts.
•Generous hard creative money sums favorable
1. 通过前文的alive and well看出这里表达了积极的信息,然而seems to be又传达出一种潜在的转折概念,因此在看到despite之后要果断选择与前文相反的意思,这里通过语法分析要填形容词,因此选hard
2. 同样,while表达了该句话前后存在转折的关系,事实上families may not have as much to spend,转折就是他们无法更慷慨大方而是转而be more creative,因此选creative
3. Lump sum为固定搭配,意思是一大笔数额
