华洋PETS专家谈PETS三级考试短文理解1的解题技巧1
| B节1篇文章5题，考生须从7个选项中排除两个干扰项，将正确的概括 与5段文字逐一搭配成对。这是考查考生理解文章的主旨要义的能力。它需要考生根据所读材料进行判断、推理和引申，并理解文中的概念性含义，学会抓住文章的主旨要义，理解作者的意图、观点或态度以及区分观点、论点和论据的关系。 B节的内容一般是选自报刊或杂志或访谈节目中的就某一专题对不同人进行的调查访问。内容比较新颖、生活化，语言比较口语化。 B节的解题技巧有与A节共同的地方，如： （一）抓住文章的主旨要义 如上节所说，抓主旨要义的最简单的方式就是找主题句。值得大家注意的是：在做这类题目的时候，要注意不要将段落的局部信息或者其中的某一个例子误以为是这段话的中心论点。 基于其难度和普遍性，在这里，我们讨论有关主旨题应考策略： 推断短文的主旨大意题是阅读测试中测定考生阅读能力经常出现的一种题，也是考生感到最为棘手、最容易出错的题。在PETS三考试中，主旨推断题不仅频繁出现在阅读测试中，还专门设有一个大题（61-65）全部是有关主旨的。主旨推断题要求考生具有很强的话语篇章把握能力和分析能力，能够从全局的角度对文章括以总领，梳清脉络。可以说，对阅读理解主旨题的把握能力决定了阅读这个整体题项的成败，它也是衡量阅读水平高低的一个重要标尺。所以，如果我们在这个题上能够取得突破，就等于是攻克了阅读当中最顽固的堡垒，其它类型的题也就不在话下了。所谓主旨大意题指针对段落或短文的subject(主题)、main idea(主题思想)、title(题目)或purpose(目的)拟题。尽管题型或用词不尽相同，但所针对的都是段落（或短文）的主旨大意。以下是针对段落（或短文）的主旨大意所设立的常见题型： 1.
