PET 专项突破

Part 2:观点与目的题

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
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.

: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」。
