录音原文：
Text 1
M: Are you going anywhere for Christmas? W: I thought about going to my sister’s in New York. How about you?
M: I’ll probably just stay at home. Text 2
M: I’m going to the beach this Sunday. Would you like to come?
W: Oh, Sunday’s a bit of a problem. Some of
my friends are coming for a dinner at my place. What about Saturday?
3）试题设置巧妙，正确选项大量使用同义转述。如试卷的第2、4、15、18题。
第2题为事实细节题，答案用了同义转述。“Some of my friends are coming for a dinner at my place.”在答案中转述为“Receive some guests at home.”体现对语言理解能力的考查。

W: Mr. Baker, could I possibly use your phone?
Ours doesn’t work. Judy is ill, and I want to call a doctor.
M: Sure. Come on in. Hope everything’s well with Judy.
第3题为人物关系推断题。要做对此题，首先需要理解对话的情境。女士来借电话，说Judy生病了，要请医生，但自己的电话坏了。男士说“Come on in”，快请进来吧，语气热情，是主人招呼客人的常用语，所以按照常理可做出这样的推测：女士在男士家门外，两人是邻居。这段短对话的语言非常简单，考生需要运用自己的常识、生活经验这样的非语言知识，才能理解对话情景。

W: Congratulations, John! I heard about your new job.
8
M: Thanks. It’s nearly perfect for me. The
working hours are convenient, and it’s an easy walk from home. If only the pay were half as good as everything else!
第4题为事实细节题，答案运用了同义转述。从男士的话中提取信息“it’s an easy walk from home”，同义转述为“It is near his home.”。原文提到的工作时间和工资报酬在错误选项中均有体现，A项干扰性较大，需要学生理解“If only the pay were half as good as everything else!”这句话。
Text 5
M: Kate, I’m going to a meeting tomorrow. Would you please help take my phone calls? W: No problem, Jim. I’ll take a message if anyone calls. Text 6
M: Excuse me. One ticket, please. Do you give students a discount?
9
W: We do, but the museum will close in twenty
minutes. We stop selling tickets at 3:30. It’s 3:40 now.
M: Could you possibly let me go in for a quick look? I can pay the full price.
W: I’m sorry, I can’t. And it’s not really
worth it because you won’t be able to see everything within twenty minutes. You can come back tomorrow morning. The museum opens at nine o’clock.
M: Well, in that case, I’ll do what you say.
第6题是一道简单的时间推算题。从女士的话可知，现在是3:40，博物馆在20分钟后关门，所以答案为C。
Text 7
W: Hi, Tom. How are you?
M: Hi, Jane. I’m fine. Listen, I plan to go
swimming in the sports center this weekend. But it’s a long way, and I haven’t got my driver’s license yet. How about us going
10
together in your car? I’ll buy the tickets. W: Well, it’s great, but I’ve got homework to do.
M: Come on! It doesn’t matter that you go out for one afternoon.
W: Oh, I really can’t. Although I finished my
book report, the upcoming mid-term exam really makes me nervous. I don’t think I’d enjoy an outing now. Sorry I can’t drive you.
M: Oh, don’t worry. I can find someone else. Good luck with your exam! W: Thanks. See you! M: Bye!
第7题推断下一步的动作。从女士的建议“You can come back tomorrow morning.”及男士的回答“I’ll do what you say.”可知答案为C。
Text 8
M: Hello. I’d like this guidebook, please. How much is it?
11
W: All things are free here.
M: Oh, thanks. I’ll stay in the city for one week. Could you tell me what places I should visit?
W: Well, there are a lot. Are you interested in islands, such as Lantau? M: Islands?
W: Yes. There are a lot of interesting things
you can see — old villages and churches. And the scenery is beautiful. Take this booklet. It tells you more.
M: Thank you very much. That’s a great suggestion.
W: You are welcome.
文中女士说“Are you interested in islands”，她推荐男士游览岛屿，从男士的回答“That’s a great suggestion.”可知他很喜欢女士的建议，可能会去游览岛屿。正确答案为B. Visit an island. 其中选项A. Tour the city.的干扰性很强。
12
第11题为地点推断题。答对此题同样需要理解对话情境。在对话的开始部分，男士询问一本旅行指南的价钱，女士告诉他这儿的所有东西都是免费的。然后男士询问他想在这个城市呆一周，并询问可以去哪些地方游玩，女士给出建议。对话中出现的“guidebook”, “visit”, “scenery”, “booklet”这些词汇表明主题与旅游相关，最关键的信息是开头部分女士的回答“All things are free here.”，结合生活实际，可推断出这里可能是旅游信息咨询中心。再者，在“ticket office” 和“department store”，怎么可能一切东西都免费呢？所以进一步确定答案是C。
从这两段对话所涉及的人物关系和地点场景推断可以看出，PETS2听力考试要求的不仅仅是听
13
懂语言本身，而是考生的综合听力素质，包括考生对日常生活的观察、对人际关系的理解、个体的情商和智商等等。一个听力理解能力强的学生总是能迅速进入对话的情境，对人物关系、对话地点做出正确的判断。
推理谈话者双方关系的时候，要特别注意双方使用的称呼和所用的措词，从这些关键因素可以判断两人所处的地位以及关系的亲疏。判断谈话地点的时候，当然离不开相关情境的相关词汇。

W: Dr. Green, congratulations on the success
of your new book! We learned that it has been translated into 30 languages — English, of course, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and so on. M: Thanks, Helen.
14
W: Well, could you tell us what this popular book is about?
M: It’s called In Praise of Slow. It’s about how
the world got stuck in fast-forward, and how more and more people everywhere are slowing down. In other words, it’s about the rise of the Slow Movement. W: What is the Slow Movement?
M: It is a revolution against the idea that faster
is always better. When I say “slow”, I don’t mean doing everything slowly. It’s about doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It’s about quality in everything we do.
W: When and where was this “slow” idea born?
M: It was born in the early 1990s in Italy. It
began as the Slow Food Movement, which centered on food. More recently, “slow” has become popular worldwide.
W: Have we reached the point of trying to speed up something that cannot really be sped
15
up?
M: Of course. The Internet connects us in
wonderful ways, but it also leads us into trying to hurry up relationships. So you find people online saying they have more than 4,000 friends. The very idea of friendship is not considered important. And we may be losing the ability to make friends. In Britain, a study found that in the past ten years, the number of children who say they have no best friend rose from under one in eight to nearly one in five!（rise from从······上升到）
第15题正确答案为C. More children say they have
no best friend. 其中“more”转述自文中“rose from under one in eight to nearly one in five” 2）文化背景知识的考查较为明显，突出表现在Text 9。
这段对话材料涉及慢生活的主题，具有一定的
16
知识性。其中，“slow” idea最早起源于20世纪90年代意大利的慢食运动（Slow Food Movement），此运动由意大利人卡尔洛·佩特里尼提出，号召人们反对按标准化、规格化生产的汉堡等单调的快餐食品，提倡有个性、营养均衡的传统美食，目的是“通过保护美味佳肴来维护人类不可剥夺的享受快乐的权利，同时抵制快餐文化、超级市场对生活的冲击。” 而今，“慢”的理念已渗透到生活的各个领域，重视生活的质量而非速度已成为现代人的追求。
听力理解过程中，相关文化背景知识所起的作用是不言而喻的，它可以让考生胸有成竹、得心应手。就本段对话的第16题而言，对于熟悉相关背景知识的学生，答对此题非常容易。而对另外一部
17
分学生，这一题具有一定的难度，需要对原文相关信息进行综合分析和推断后才能解答出来。 。

Good morning, everyone. I’m pleased to be here to give a talk. We’re two brothers from Canada, and we’ve been living in Thailand for eight years. We noticed that most English lessons here in schools focus only on reading and writing, so a lot of people can’t understand and speak well in English. And we’d like to do something about it. Our idea is simple: we want to teach people how to understand and speak English like a native speaker. Different from broadcast English programs, we design special fun English programs based on the computer and use them to teach words and expressions we use in real life. We talk in a casual style on a number of
18
interesting topics, and we share personal stories from our real lives. Now, we have over 200 units on our website. We make a new unit every week that you can listen to on your computer anytime you want. Our materials are from English movies, TV shows, and real-life conversations. We hope people will use the materials to practice every day. We are sure that your English will improve a lot.
这段独白涉及英语语言学习的话题，一对来自加拿大的兄弟在泰国生活多年，发现当地学校的英语课程只注重阅读和写作，很多人说不好英语，从而萌生了在泰国开办英语学习网站的念头。
第18题是一道观点态度题，说话者对泰国当地学校英语课程的看法怎样。从文中“most English lessons here in schools focus only on reading and writing”，可以看出说话者的态度，“only”这个词很关键，“只”注重读和写肯定是“不够的”（not
19
enough）。这道题在同义转述的同时，还要求对原文信息进行推断和总结。
4）带有干扰性的、情景化的、语意的推断，依旧是二级考试的难点。如第3、6、7、11、12题。
总体而言，本次考试延续以往PETS2考试的风格，整体难度适中。强调对情境的理解，选项设置灵活。建议如下：
（1）留心观察生活，了解生活，熟悉生活场景词汇及表达；
（2）练习辨音，尤其是音相似的数字如13&30、15&50等；
（3）优选好的练习材料，尤其是留意材料语言的
地道性，话题的广泛性，设题点的多样性等； （4）博览群书，开拓视野，积累跨文化背景知识；
20
（5）熟悉不同主播的声音，考场主播轻松应对。
