2011年9月24日，全国公共英语等级考试如期举行。随着这项考试在社会上的认可度日益增加，每次考生的人数也不断刷新。紧张的考试已经结束了，根据教育考试院的安排，成绩要50个工作日后方可揭晓。在此，我们请华浦教育英语部的PETS名师，给大家点评一下此次PETS三级的考试情况，对于准备参加2012年3月份考试的学生来说，必然大有帮助。
Part 1 Listening Comprehension
l 听力分析：此次听力题目中，生词不多，主要侧重于习惯用语、动词短语的考核。
例如：
1 1 What are the speakers talking about ?
A movie
B review
C Tv program
D football game
原文：
What do you think of the movie? It's disappointing. We should have watched the football game. ( 考点：should have +P.P)
●此外，日常生活场景，如机场，酒店，购物等特定用语，也是考生要密切注意的。
3 Why does the man choose to go by air?
A trains are too full
B Buses take a long time
C It costs less
D It fits the schedule
原文：
… Go to the summer camp; why do you fly? Buses and trains don't run. My schedule is full.
●4篇短文理解中，第一篇谈及Black food is new in America. .In Asia, It has been popular…
people believe it's healthy…第二篇是作者生活背景的介绍，I didn't remember clearly where I was born, because my family moved a lot to look for work…. Possibly , I was born in Queensland…第三篇的话题，相信很多考生并不陌生，谈到的是求职问题I can't seem to find a job. I have handed my resumes to 20companies and got only 2 interviews…同样的，第四篇的主题也是比较熟悉的内容---旅游，不过这篇文章主要是设计旅游中的支付问题It's a good idea to have some travel money, such as credit card and travellers' checks, Most cards can be drawn at ATMS.
Part 2 Cloze test
这篇完形填空依然是重点考核词汇，所以建议考生平日里要注意词汇量的积累。
现挑选一些典型词汇，如下：
Concluded (推论)；furthermore(此外)；quote(引用)；forecasting
(预测)； assuming(假设)；overestimates (过高估计)；contrary to(于......相反)；accomplish(完成)
Part 3 Reading Comprehension
今年的阅读材料都带有一定的议论性质，侧重考生对社会现象的理解。其中很多材料类似于国外报刊杂志的表述，从今年的形势看，仅有词汇量很难做好阅读。
另外阅读理解篇幅日益增加，现场有些考生在这个部分的时间超过1小时，导致后面的作文，无法认真完成。
