公共英语三级考试听力的三种题型

公共英语三级考试（PETS）是教育部考试中心设计的全国性英语水平测试体系，其中听力部分是考生需要重点突破的环节之一。本文将详细介绍听力部分的三种常见题型及其解题技巧，并通过实例对话和练习题帮助考生更好地掌握这些技巧。

转折题型

这种题型出现的频率很高，其特征是：第一个说话人所说的不是十分重要；第二个说话人的答话由两部分组成：先是一个简单的短句，紧接着是一个较长的句子，短句与长句之间常用but, though, however等转折意思的词语连接，从而引起的作者态度及谈论重点的变化。

人物身份题型

在这类对话中，由于说话人之间的关系不同，其用词、造句、语气都有区别。这是听录音时要抓的关键之一，在此基础上再捕捉有关信息，然后判断、推测人物之间的关系及其身份。这类题比较简单，考生只要抓住那些与职业和身份有关的关键词即可回答。这类题目与询问地点的考题有类似之处。

常见的提问形式有：

• Who is the man/woman?
• What is the man’s/woman’s job/profession/occupation?
• What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
• Who is the man/woman most probably speaking to?

考题中常涉及的职业或人物身份关系及相关信息词有：

• 老师和学生(teacher and student)：grade, mark, score, term, course, assignment, pass, fail, scholarship, tuition, campus, dormitory, lab, experiment...
• 医生和病人(doctor and patient)：fever, cough, cold, headache, injection, prescription, diagnose, temperature, medicine, blood pressure, heart disease, flu, surgery...
• 侍者和顾客(waiter/waitress and customer)：menu, order, reserve, steak, ham, salad, soup, coffee, juice, hamburger, sandwiches, buffet, bar, brandy, whisky, dessert, tip...
• 司机和乘客(driver and passenger)：taxi, fare, get off, change, tip, destination...
• 老板和秘书(boss and secretary)：typing, operating, copy, files, document, report, telephone, appointment, timetable, arrangement...

理解归纳题型

这类对话题出现的频率很高，问题的答案在对话中没有直接提供。要求考生把谈话中提供的细节作为前提，进行一定的逻辑推理才能找到答案，或根据提供的细节进行归纳得出结论。

常见的提问方式有：

• What does the man/woman imply?
• What can be inferred from the conversation?
• What do we learn about the man/woman/conversation?
