Part 2:观点与目的题
约 13 分钟
题型:6 段独立的短独白或对话(每段约 30 秒),每段一道三选一。
这一部分几乎全在考「说话人的观点、感受、意图」,是 PET 听力最能体现 B1 要求的部分。
题干的四种问法
| 问法 | 要抓什么 |
|---|---|
| What does the woman think about...? | 评价性的词 |
| How does the man feel about...? | 情绪词 |
| Why is she calling / speaking? | 目的(往往在开头或结尾) |
| What does he suggest / advise? | 建议句型 |
「Why is she calling?」这类目的题是重点:答案通常在第一句或最后一句,中间是铺垫。
打法:三步
第一步(录音前):读题干,明确「要听观点还是听目的」。
这一步决定你听的时候注意力放哪。听观点就抓形容词和评价,听目的就抓开头结尾的动作句。
第二步:抓「但是」。
The hotel was in a great location and the staff were friendly. However, the rooms were tiny and the walls were so thin that I couldn't sleep.
问 What did she think of the hotel? 答案是负面的,不是「位置好」。
英语表达习惯:先说客气话,but 之后才是真心话。 这一条在 PET 听力里几乎百试百灵。
第三步:排除「原词陷阱」。
三个选项里,往往有一个照抄了录音里的词,但意思是被否定的那部分。
录音:I thought it would be expensive, but actually it was quite reasonable.
陷阱选项:It was expensive.✗
正确选项:It cost less than she expected.✓
建议类表达(suggest/advise 题必备)
| 建议句型 | 例 |
|---|---|
| You should / ought to | You should book early. |
| Why don't you...? | Why don't you try the other route? |
| If I were you, I'd... | If I were you, I'd take the train. |
| It's worth + doing | It's worth arriving early. |
| Make sure you... | Make sure you bring an umbrella. |
| I'd recommend + doing | I'd recommend booking online. |
| The best thing to do is... |
目的类表达(why 题必备)
| 目的 | 信号 |
|---|---|
| 道歉 | I'm calling to apologise / I'm afraid |
| 提醒 | Just to remind you / Don't forget |
| 邀请 | I was wondering if you'd like to |
| 请求 | Could you possibly / I was hoping you could |
| 抱怨 | I'm not happy about / There's a problem with |
| 告知变更 | I'm calling to let you know that... has changed |
| 感谢 | I just wanted to say thank you for |
I was wondering if... 和 Could you possibly... 是英语里最礼貌的请求方式,听力里出现频率很高。
实战演示
录音:Hi, it's Mark. I'm calling about Saturday's rehearsal. I know we agreed on two o'clock, but the hall is being used for a wedding until four. I've checked and we can have it from four thirty. Sorry about the change — hope that still works for you.
题:Why is Mark calling?
A To cancel the rehearsal.
B To change the time of the rehearsal.
C To ask for a different room.
答案:B。A 错(没取消,只是改时间);C 错(他没要换房间,是房间被占用)。目的句在开头 I'm calling about 和中间 we can have it from four thirty。
练习:听任何一段英语留言,用一句中文说出「他打这个电话是想干什么」。
