PTE考试​中各个题型的机经汇总

今天课窝小编为大家整理了PTE考试中各个题型的机经，希望能帮助到正在备考的伙伴们，能够顺利通过2018年PTE考试。

SEPAHUA

1) SEPAHUA, a ramshackle town on the edge of Peru's Amazon jungle, nestles in a pocket on the map where a river of the same name flows into the Urubamba.

2) That pocket denotes a tiny patch of legally loggable land sandwiched between four natural reserves, all rich in mahogany and accessible from the town. “Boundaries are on maps,” says a local logger, “maps are only in Lima,” the capital.

3) In 2001 the government, egged on by WWF, a green group, tried to regulate logging in the relatively small part of the Peruvian Amazon where this is allowed.

4) It abolished the previous system of annual contracts.

5) Instead, it auctioned 40-year concessions to areas ruled off on a map, with the right to log 5% of the area each year. The aim was to encourage strict management plans and sustainable extraction.

 Piano

1) Piano keys are generally made of spruce or basswood, for lightness.

2) Spruce is normally used in high-quality pianos.

3) Traditionally, the black keys were made from ebony and the white keys were covered with strips of ivory, but since ivory-yielding species are now endangered and protected by treaty, plastics are now almost exclusively used.

4) Also, ivory tends to chip more easily than plastic.

 International Date Line

1) International Date Line, imaginary line on the earth's surface, generally following the 180° meridian of longitude, where, by international agreement, travelers change dates.

2) The date line is necessary to avoid a confusion that would otherwise result.

3) For example, if an airplane were to travel westward with the sun, 24 hr would elapse as it circled the globe, but it would still be the same day for those in the airplane while it would be one day later for those on the ground below them.

4) The same problem would arise if two travelers journeyed in opposite directions to a point on the opposite side of the earth, 180° of longitude distant.

5) The apparent paradox is resolved by requiring that the traveler crossing the date line change his date, thus bringing the travelers into agreement when they meet.

 Memory and habits

1) In 1992 a retired engineer in San Diego contracted a rare brain disease that wiped out his memory.

2) Every day he was asked where the kitchen was in his house, and every day he didn’t have the foggiest idea.

3) Yet whenever he was hungry he got up and propelled himself straight to the kitchen to get something to eat.

4) Studies of this man led scientists to a breakthrough: the part of our brains where habits are stored has nothing to do with memory or reason.

5) It offered proof of what the US psychologist William James noticed more than a century ago that humans “are mere walking bundles of habits

 Father-led literacy project

1) A University of Canberra student has launched the nation’s first father-led literacy project, to encourage fathers to become more involved in their children’s literacy.

2) Julia Bocking’s Literacy and Dads (LADS) project aims to increase the number of fathers participating as literacy helpers in K-2 school reading programs at Queanbeyan Primary Schools.

3) “There’s no program like this in Australia,” Ms. Bocking said, who devised the project as the final component of her community education degree at the University.

4) Having worked as a literacy tutor with teenagers, Ms. Bocking saw the need for good attitudes towards reading to be formed early on – with the help of male role models.

5) Teachers depend on parent helpers in the earlier school years, though researcher shows that nationally only five percent of these helpers are male, she said. “A male that values reading sets a powerful role model, particularly for young boys, who are statistically more likely to end up in remedial literacy program.”
