PTE考试听力中比较级考点

　　如今出国留学的人越来越多，所以选择相应的出国途径就显得尤其重要了，比如想要去澳洲留学，PTE考试是非常不错的选择，PTE听力作为考试的难点，今天我们就一起来学习听力中比较级的考点！

　　今天就给大家介绍大家不怎么熟悉却非常好用的逻辑考点：比较级考点(more..than;better than).

　　例

　　22.When he graduates, James would like to

　　A. take a postgraduate course.

　　B. work in the media.

　　C. become a translator.

　　首先，我们看到题干“when he graduates”作为时间限定，然后选项为毕业后想做的事情。A为继续深造，BC都是工作，只是想做的职业不同。

　　然后我们来听原文的描述:

　　Tutor:“do you have any plans for when you graduate?A lot of students go on to take a master’s degree.”

　　James:”I think the four years of undergraduate course will be enough for me. I’m interested in journalism,and I quite like the idea of moving to Scandinavian and writing for magazines. I’d find that more creative than translating,which I suppose most graduates do.”

　　在听这段音频中，根据题干人称定位我们确定重点要听James的声音，所以当tutor提及master‘s degree 的时候我们需要对A.take a postgraduate course 打一个问号。然后当James的声音出现时，我们要确定的第一个信息就是他是否赞同老师的意见。”I think the four years of undergraduate course will be enough for me“通过这句话我们明白他并不想继续学习，所以排除A。然后我们就听到了 ”I’m interested in journalism-我对传媒学感兴趣”,这时认识journalism的同学就能选出B,因为journalism替换了media. 但是如果不认识journalism的同学还可以通过后面的“I’d find that more creative than translating-我觉得这比翻译更有创意”来排除C。在这个题中我们就可以通关过这个 ”B is more creative than C“的结构来排除C选项。

　　接下来，我们继续再看一个例子，还是在这一篇文章中的第25题：

　　25 Beth recommends that James’s paper should be

　　A. a historical overview of the genre.

　　B. an in-depth analysis of a single writer.

　　C. a study of the social background to the literature.

　　首先题干定位次为”Beth” , “James’s paper”确定重点要听女声，然后长选项纵向分析选项找出三个都是of从属结构，优先区别主语部分分别是“genre”, ”single writer”及”literature”.

　　然后我们来看听力原文：

　　Beth：“first I suggest you avoid taking one writer and going into a great deal of detail. That approach certainly has its place,”听到这我们可以通过avoid这个否定词，排除B.single writer。然后继续听：”but I think you first need to get understanding of the literature in the context of the society in which it was produced... I also think that’s more fruitful than placing it within the history of the genre”.再后半段中我们先听到了C中的literature,紧接着又听到了”that’s more fruitful than...genre-比研究genre更有成果”,因此我们推理出比起A，老师更推荐选C。

　　通过这两个例子，我们就得出一个好用的逻辑点，如果听到more...than... 的结构，而中间的词是表优点”creative/fruitful/time-saving/useful/straightforward/precise”等形容词时，我们就可以排除后提及的内容，而选择more..than 之前提及的内容为答案。

　　类似的结构还有better，如11-3-1中第30题：

　　30 What will Lisa and Greg do next?

　　A talk to a professor

　　B observe a science class

　　C look at the science timetable

　　听力原文：“Right,what do we need to do next? We could have a look at the timetable for the science class..or perhaps we should just make an appointment to see one of the science professors. That’d be better.

　　在原文中先提及了B，后提及了A,而紧接着的That'd be better 中that指代的是professor.因此选择A为答案。
