作爲一門規範化的考試，PETS聽力考試緊緊圍繞着大綱進行命題。同時，由於其特殊的社會功用和使命，其命題方面也顯示出一些程序化的跡象，雖然考查內容千變萬化，考查話題靈活多變，但是仍有不少規律可循。考生把握這些命題的規律，進行有目的，又針對性的複習，必然能起到事半功倍的效果。 下面是關於公共英語一級聽力備考輔導，希望對大家有用!
一、教育學習類：
M: What did you think of the lecture in library meeting room?
W: I can’t understand what the speaker said.
[A] The lecture is bad
[B] She like the lecture
[C] The lecture isn’t fit for her.
名師精解：這是一段有關於教育學習內容的對話。錄音材料中，男生問：你認爲在圖書館會議室中的講座怎麼樣?女生回答到 “我都不知道做講座的人在講些什麼。”這個回答，本身就是一種貶義的回答。所以答案爲[C]。
日常生活類：
M: Please change this note into two 50 dollars and ten 10 dollars bills.
W: Sure. Have you are, sir.
Q: How much money does the man want to change?
[A] $100 [B] $200 [C] $300
名師精解：這是一道考數字的聽力理解題目。話題屬於日常生活類。男士問：你能把我這張紙幣換成兩張50元和十張10元的嗎?因此50X2+10X10=200.所以本題答案爲[B]。
工作事務類：
M: Make one copy for me twenty copies from other managers.
W: Certainly, sir. As soon as I finish the task, I will go to deal with this.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
[A] Boss and clerk
[B] Teacher and students
[C] Customer and saleswoman
名師精解：這是發生在辦公室中的一段對話，屬於工作事務類內容。對話中的關鍵詞“managers”和“copy”提示了對話的背景和內容。當問題問及這兩者的關係時，就可判別答案爲[A]。
二、按對話題目種類劃分：
M: Hello. I haven’t seen you for a long time. How are you?
W: Fine. Thanks.
M: Tomorrow is my birthday. I would like to invite you and your family to my birthday party. Our teacher Wang in University will come also.
W: Thank you very much. When will it begin?
M: At 6: 30 p.m.
W: Oh. Let me see: I get off work at 5:30 every day and then spend about 35 minutes on meeting my husband and my daughter. We shall cost about
45. Is that all right?
M: Yes, of course.
W: Ok. See you tomorrow.
M: See you then.
細節型: 1. When will the man begin his birthday party?
[A] At 5:30 p.m. [B] At 6:30 p.m. [C] At 7:30 p.m.
名師精解：錄音材料中，明確指出“M: At 6: 30 p.m.”，所以答案爲[B]
題型分析：細節題目往往是針對錄音聽力中的人物、地點、時間、數字、電話號碼和價格等所提及的問題，只要考生注意聽錄音材料這些內容，理順關係，往往都能輕鬆解決。
計算型: 2. When will the woman and her family be able to arrive at the man’s birthday party?
[A] At 6:05 p.m. [B] At 6:30 p.m. [C] At 6:50 p.m.
名師精解：錄音材料中，出現了兩個具體時間“M: At 6: 30 p.m.”和“W: Let me see: I get off work at 5:30 every day”. 後又出現了兩個時間單位“The woman spend about 35 minutes on meeting my husband and my daughter.”和“the woman shall cost about 45
.”因此，只要將這幾個時間區分開來，就可以知道這位婦女和她家人只可能在何時到這位男士的家。故答案[C]
題型分析：計算題也往往是針對錄音聽力中的時間、數字、和價格等所提及的計算，一般計算比較簡單，只要考生注意聽錄音材料這些內容，理順關係，就能成功解答。
大意型: 3. What does the dialogue tell us?
[A] The man has a birthday party.
[B] The woman and her family will be late for the man’s birthday party.
[C] The man invites the woman and her family to take part in his birthday party.
名師精解：聽完這段錄音材料我們發現，材料的主要內容是講這位男士要邀請這位女士和她的家人到他家慶祝他的生日。這個對話都是圍繞這一主題開展的。而答案[A][B]沒有抓住問題的實質，都只講解了對話的一個方面，這樣是不具體、不全面的。故答案[C]
題型分析：大意題也往往是針對整個錄音材料而言的。往往要求考生考慮錄音材料的整體內容，考慮說話者語氣，說話環境以及說話者的言語中所包含的深層次意思。因此我們要從全局着眼，而後全面做答。
三、推理型:
4. What can be the relationship between the man and the woman?
[A] Classmates [B] Cousins [C] Colleagues
名師精解：聽完這段錄音材料
女對話者似乎關係非比尋常。當問及他們之間的關係時，我們可能第一個反應是他們一定是朋友。但這會是哪種朋友呢?這正是文章要求我們解答的。大多數人會在聽第二次的時候關注這類問題。在細聽錄音材料中，我們會發現有這麼一句話“Our teacher Wang in University will come also”。這說明他們有個共同的大學老師。故答案[A]。
題型分析：推理題也往往是針對整個錄音材料而言的，是聽力材料中最難的。它往往要求考生考慮錄音材料的整體內容，考慮說話者語氣，說話環境及一些細節點。它是對上面所提到的題目的綜合能力考覈。錄音材料中絕對找不到現成的答案，要自己通過的.理解做答題目。
經典例題：
M: Excuse me, Mrs. Sharp, can I borrow some money from you? I need them for buying the toy to my son.
W: Well, you are a good Daddy.
Q: What can we learn from the dialogue?
[A] Mrs. Sharp won’t
the man.
[B] The man isn’t a good father.
[C] The man will buy a toy to his son.
名師精解：考生可以從錄音材料中找到與選項相同的部分“buy the toy to my son.”但通過對整個對話的整體理解。我們知道是男士爲了想給兒子買玩具而向這個女士借錢。因此，女士會說“你真是個好爸爸。”所以答案爲[C]。
經典例題：
M: The concert begins at 8:30. Let’s hurry.
W: We still have 45 minutes. How do we go there?
Q: What’s the time now?
[A] 9:15 [B] 8:15 [C] 7:45
名師精解：數字類題目要求考生一要記清楚對話中數字所代表的內容，並且能進行簡單的推理。本題中提到音樂會在8：30開始，我們還有45分鐘時間。因此哪個時間相互相減，就得到了答案爲[C]。
經典例題：
W: Did you ring me up yesterday evening?
M: Yes, I wanted you to come over and meet my cousin who has just come from the United States, but your mother said that you were at evening classes.
Q: Who answered the phone call?
[A] The woman [B] The man’s cousin [C] The woman’s mother
名師精解：對話中“your mother said that you were at evening classes.”說明了昨天，接到電話的人是對話中婦女的母親。而之前的一些信息“Did you ring me up yesterday evening?”正提示了這位男說話者昨天打過電話。故[A] [B]兩選項都是起到干擾作用的選項。
四、經典例題：
M: Hi, Lilan
W: Hi, Wang Ming. Haven’t seen you for ages. Any news?
M: I’m going to do a business course when I leave school.
W: Are you? Very glad to hear it. Then what are you going to do when finish?
M: Oh, I shall go back to Beijing to practice there.
W: That’s a good idea. You know there are more opportunities for business there than Shijiazhuan. And English is very useful in the job.
M: Yes, I think it’ll be very useful in many ways.
W: Besides, Beijing is an international trade centre. English is used almost everywhere.
M: Then I’ll be a very promising businessman there.
Q: 1. What is the man’s plan for his future?
[A] Take a
[B] Learn some English in Beijing
[C] Do some Business in Beijing.
2. What can you tell about the man?
[A] He used to live in Beijing
[B] He used to live in Shijiazhuan
[C] He used to live in Shanghai
3. What do the two speakers agree to?
[A] Going to the evening school
[B] Improving their English
[C] Practising business
名師精解：對話中 “W: Hi, Jack. Haven’t seen you for ages. Any news? (嘿，傑克。好久不見了，你怎麼樣了?) M: I’m going to do a business course when I leave school.(在畢業後我打算去讀商務課程.)”但緊接着，“W: Then what are you going to do when finish?”(但你學完學業後，你打算做什麼呢?)M: Oh, I shall go back to Beijing to practice there.(哦。我會回到北京拓展我的事業。)這說明第1題這個男人的將來計劃最終還是在北京進行商務活動。這道題目就從聽力材料中直接選擇獲得，較容易，答案選擇[C]。而題目2和題目3就要求考生通過理解全文，才能獲得答案。從題目2的題幹看，題目設計者考查點落在：Where did the man use to live? 而聽力原文中只提及過兩個地點：Beijing和Shijiazhuan。因此，Shanghai則一定是錯誤的。而原文中 “I shall go back to Beijing to practice there”。go back則爲重點。但一般考生在第一次聽時，卻很容易忽略這個關鍵詞彙。所以在回答該題時，就要在第二次聽中特別關注地名。則較易得出結論，答案爲 [A]。第3題則是對全文的一個總結。對話多次提及英語的重要作用。①W: And English is very useful in the job. M: Yes, I think it’ll be very useful in many ways.②W: English is used almost everywhere.因而，What do the two speakers agree to? 答案爲[B]，其餘[A] [C]爲干擾項。
