三、獨(dú)白材料的命題思路與解題技巧
（一）命題思路
該段錄音材料為獨(dú)白材料，就是有一位錄音者單獨(dú)閱讀一段文章。文章長(zhǎng)度一般控制在150-250字之間。由于是PETS二級(jí)，因此材料本身一般難度不會(huì)很大。關(guān)鍵還是考生能不能在第一次聽后能否對(duì)材料有個(gè)大概的理解。如果可以的話，則第二次就能有的放矢。在該段材料的題目設(shè)計(jì)中大都是特殊疑問句。題目多關(guān)于材料的細(xì)節(jié)、情節(jié)和主題等。有時(shí)也要求考生對(duì)材料所給予的線索做出推斷。錄音材料一般以敘事文為主，素材廣泛。
（二）解題技巧
在解答這類題目時(shí)，應(yīng)在聽錄音前，考生一定要瀏覽全部題目，對(duì)題目主題，題目提問內(nèi)容和答題選項(xiàng)區(qū)別，做到心中有數(shù)。在第一次聽錄音中，要把握開頭，善于抓住關(guān)鍵信息詞，邊聽邊看題目選項(xiàng)，做適當(dāng)記錄。在第二次聽錄音中，注意過渡詞與一些特殊語(yǔ)氣詞，推斷出文章主題和一些總結(jié)和結(jié)論。
經(jīng)典例題：
Helen was about to have her first baby. One evening it was the time to take her to the hospital, so her husband, Sam, helped her get into the car and drove her there. A nurse took Helen to her room and told Sam that he could go home and she would call him when the baby arrived, but Sam said he would rather wait at the hospital. The nurse smiled and said, “There’s a waiting room at the end of the hall.”
Sam was walking anxiously up and down in the passage at about midnight when the nurse came out of his wife’s room and said, with a happy smile, “Which would you have preferred, a boy or a girl?
“A girl,” answered the husband. “I have an older sister, and she was always very kind to me when I was a child.”
“Well,” said the nurse, “It’s a boy this time.”
“That’s all right,” answered Sam cheerfully, “That was my second choice ”
1. When did Sam arrive at hospital?
[A] In the evening [B] At about midnight [C] Next morning
2.Where could Sam stay to wait for the arrival of the baby, according to the nurse?
[A] At his home [B] In his car [C] In the hospital
3.Why did Sam prefer a girl?
[A] He already had a son. [B] He wanted his daughter to have a sister.
[C] He had a sister who cared for him very much.
4.What can you tell about Sam?
[A] He had no choice but to accept the boy. [B] That was his second child.
[C] He was very happy to have a boy as well.
精解：題目的第1、2題都是細(xì)節(jié)題目。在獨(dú)白材料中，都有明確的提示。題目的第1題考查在錄音材料中的 “One evening it was the time to take her to the hospital” 這一句話上。one evening就是答案，因此答案為[A]。分析選擇項(xiàng)，我們就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)答案[B]的存在是有很大迷惑作用的。題目第2題的設(shè)問陳述中突出一個(gè)詞匯為could,同時(shí)在材料中也有明確的表述：A nurse took Helen to her room and told Sam that he could go home and she would call him when the baby arrived。因此題目的答案也就可知[A]。題目3，雖然材料中有提示，但還需考生，在理解的基礎(chǔ)上才能得出正確答案，答案為[C]。題目4，就需要考生在關(guān)注全篇材料。通過聽，去除答案[A][B]的錯(cuò)誤，選擇[C]。使的考生證章并能從That was my second choice中明白Sam 也高興有個(gè)男孩.
經(jīng)典例題：
Two drivers who wanted to park their cars in the same parking space. The man who arrived at the parking space first was rather old with gray hair. He was driving a large Rolls Royce. The beautiful car stopped just in front of the parking space. Then the driver turned his head and very slowly began to reverse his car into the space.
A young man in a Mini came up from behind. He noticed the space and drove straight in. He had got out of his car now and he was laughing, “You have to be young to do that!”
The older man said nothing. He just began to reverse his Rolls Royce again and crashed into the Mini very hard. The young man watched what was happening and couldn"t believe his eyes. The older driver looked out of the window and smiled. “You have to be rich to do that,” he said.
1. What do you know about the two drivers?
[A] The younger driver was quicker than the older driver.
[B] They didn’t see each other while getting into the same parking space.
[C] Neither of them was good at driving.
2. Which of the following statements about the young driver can NOT be true?
[A] He hadn’t expected the older driver to react so strongly.
[B] He was shocked to see what had become of his car.
[C] He had got ready for his defeat when he drove his Mini straight in.
3. What did the older driver mean when he said: “You have to be rich to do that”?
[A] You are not rich enough to buy a Rolls Royce like mine.
[B] You are not rich enough to park your car here.
[C] Only rich people dare to do such things.
