各位学霸们好，今天黄老师来分享一下上周PTE考场听力部分Summarize Spoken Text（SST）真题 & 答案解析。
题目分析

在我们看真题之前，黄老师想对于听力SST说几句：
1.SST真题能做到100%命中；但是并不能做到100%覆盖，也就是考试的时候有可能会碰到新题的，所以同学们对应的基础和技巧还是需要提高，否则就是花几百刀/几千块钱碰运气了。
2.SST所考核的是泛听+笔记能力，其中泛听需要同学们熟练的在一篇文章中找到4句话左右的重点句，而笔记则需要同学们准确的记录下这4句话的重点词（每句话5-8个左右），对于这部分能力有欠缺的学生黄老师建议同学们一定要提高到位，因为除了SST以外还关乎到听力众多选择题（这部分题目没有技巧和机经）。
3.SST在写一段话答案时（50-70字），需要的远远不止同学们不犯语法错误，同时需要句子能够正确的表达原文的意思（不需要100%，因为电脑识别能力有限），所以同学们需要知道电脑识别的‘度’在哪，这样才能避免无谓的失分/过度复杂的答案。
4.在背诵机经时，黄老师建议同学们千万不要死记硬背，可以参照《雅培英语PTE满分答案》中的秒懂逻辑，记住中文口诀的情况下重点记忆核心词，同学们请切记：逻辑框架比答案细节重要很多！
那么，接下来我们就一起来看上周真题和答案吧：

1.Genetic Difference
The pace of which that the human minds have evolved over the last half million years and more recently the last 200,000 years has been so frighteningly rapid that the evolution of cognitive function and perception in different ways, can only happen to the actions of a small number of genes. If one needed to adapt a dozen of genes changes and concert, in order to acquire the penetrating minds that we now have, which our ancestors 500,000 years ago didn't have, the evolution could not have taken, could not have occurred so quickly. And for that reason alone, one begins to suspect that the genetic differences between people who lived 500,000 years ago sever that cognitive functions than ours are not so large. Therefore, a rather small number of genes may be responsible for our powerful minds.
秒懂逻辑：该题逻辑较绕，请同学们一定记住其关系
我们大脑发育的太快了，以至于只有极少数的基因产生改变。所以我们的大脑和古代的应该差别不大，只有少数基因负责了我们的大脑功能。
参考答案：
The pace that our minds have evolved over the last half million years has been rapid, so cognitive function and perception can only happen to a small number of genes. Some people suspect that the genetic differences between us and our ancestors are not large. Therefore, only a small number of genes may be responsible for our power minds.

2. University Competition
Today a university like the LSE certainly has to acknowledge that it is in competition for the best students, all of whom have choices they can exercise, and many of them choices which run across national and continental borders. We are in competition, too, for staff. The academic job market is one of the most global. And in the 21st century English is the new Latin, so universities in English speaking countries are exposed to more intensive competition than those elsewhere. We are in competition for government funding through the assessment of research quality. We are in competition for research contracts, from public and private sector sources, and indeed we are in competition for the philanthropic pound. Many of our own donors were at more than one university, and indeed think of the LSEs requests alongside those of other charities to which they are committed. That is a competitive environment which is particularly visible to a vice-Chancellor.
秒懂逻辑：该题逻辑比较简单，即大学竞争了什么。但是信息出现比较密集，考试时需要注意。
大学需要竞争全国与全球人才，竞争员工。英语国家面临的竞争更加激烈。同时大学也在竞争政府拨款，研究合约，和慈善募捐(philanthropic)。而这些竞争对大学的负责人(visible to a vice-Chancellor)来说特别值得重视。
参考答案：
University nowadays compete for the best studentsdomestically and internationally. similarly, university today also competes for staff. the competition for universities in English speaking countries is more intense than other countries. University also compete for government funding, research contracts, and philanthropic pound. These competitions should be visible to a vice-Chancellor.

3. Misuse of Drugs
“But what are the 
dangers 
of 
keeping
 these 
drugs at home
?” 
“There are a number of dangers. Parents should know that 
leftover 
drugs are dangerous because they may be 
accidentally ingested by children
. Either adults don’t keep the bottles properly closed and stored or because even many kids can sometimes open childproof lids. 
Patients may use the drugs after their expiration date
. 
The leftover drugs may be taken for the wrong reasons
. For example, someone may have a viral infection and self-prescribed to left over into microbial that was prescribed for a bacterial infection. But that drug will have no effect as the viral infections. Drugs that are left over might be given to or 
taken
 by someone else who may have a 
serious allergy
 to the medicine and who for that reason would not be prescribed to medicine under the supervision of a physician. Finally, 
inappropriate use
 of drugs 
promotes drug resistance
 if the drug is taken for the wrong indication, the wrong duration, or in the wrong dosage. 
“Todd, what can people do about this how can the situation be improved?”“I think physicians, patients and parents of patients can take steps to improve the situation. First of all, 
physicians should prescribe the drug only when appropriate
, only in the 
correct amount
 and only for the 
correct duration
. Also, the physician must 
stress
 to the patient that the 
full course of the drug must be taken
. This is recommended even if symptoms resolved before the end of the prescription and parents of children on antibiotics need to ensure they complete their course as well.”
秒懂逻辑：该文章信息点较为密集，同学们需要锻炼笔记的熟练度。
把药物储存在家中非常危险。因为残留药物会被小孩错误的使用。同时可能会被过敏的人所使用。滥用药物会增加药物抗体。药剂师需要开出正确的计量，并且强调需要服完一个疗程。

4. Indian Peasant debt
The debt today is so high, it’s two hundred thousand rupees, three hundred thousand rupees of peasant who have no capital. They who know within a year or two, when they accumulate that kind of debt. They were never be able to pay back. Where is the debt coming from? It's coming from seed that is costing a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand rupees per kilogram, depending on what you got. Seed that used to be free, used to be theirs. Pesticides each time, the more they use, the more they have to use, 12 sprays, 15 sprays, 20 sprays. Pesticides used in just the last five years in the land areas of India has showed up by 2000 percent. That is what the free market and globalization have brought and since we are talking about peasants, who have no money, who have no capital, they can only buy expensive seeds and expensive pesticides by borrowing. And who lend that money? The seed companies that sell the pesticides, which are the same companies that sell the seeds, as you know, are now also the major creditors.
秒懂逻辑：该文章有可能会出现较难的印度口音，请务必提前记好点。
贫农的债务很高，而且他们永远都还不起。债务来自于曾经免费的种子，和越用越多的杀虫剂。这是因为自由市场和全球一体化。卖杀虫剂的种子公司正是借农民钱的债主。
参考答案：
Debt today is high for peasants who have no capital. They can never pay back such debt. The debt comes from seeds used to be free. In addition, the more they use pesticides, the more they have to use. This is all because of free market and globalization. Seed companies that sell the pesticides lend the money to peasants.

5.Museum not working for kids
So, we were founded just over ten years ago, when I was in the Royal Academy, a Museum in the center of London, with my three children, at the Aztec exhibition. I don’t know if any of you saw it. I had an older child and two younger children, twins, strapped in a pushchair, and one of my children, three years old, shouted – and I’ve never denied he shouted – he shouted, ‘Monster, monster!’ at this statue which looked just like a monster, had snakes for hair, a big beak for a nose. And, I thought, this is fantastic – I’ve got a three-year old that’s appreciating pre-Hispanic art – how good can it get? So, I bent down and I said, ‘Yes, it looks just like a monster’. And, at that moment, a room warden came over, a gallery assistant came over and said we were being too noisy, and threw us out. Wrong family. I was, at that time, a journalist with The Guardian newspaper, and two days later wrote a big piece in The Guardian about being thrown out of the Royal Academy. What was really interesting was, by the end of that day, we had had, at the paper, over 500 emails from other families saying, ‘Museums aren’t working for us. Let’s try and make it work’. So, that’s what we did. In the Guardian, we set up a campaign. We called it the Kids in Museums campaign, but it didn’t really exist. It was just a few pages. We ran loads of stories on it; I began touring the country talking about how to make your museum family friendly; I was a journalist. I was called in to see the then director of the National Gallery in London, and I’ll never forget this moment, when he called me in and said, ‘We really like this Kids in Museums campaign, and we’ve been talking on our board about it, and we have some ideas of how we might work together, and I’d like you to take them back to your team.
秒懂逻辑：该题为叙事文思路；信息比较多且分散，一定要记住故事主线。
作者的孩子看到博物馆的怪物大叫，然后被赶走了。作者是写了新闻抱怨，发现很多读者有共鸣，因为博物馆没有为普通市民和孩子来工作。随后，他和伦敦博物馆馆长交换了一些新的看法。
参考答案：
Over ten years ago, the speaker visited the Aztec exhibition with his three children. One of his children shouted ‘monster ’when he saw a statue which looks like a monster. The speaker thought this is good because his children can appreciate the art, but a warden threw them out. Therefore, he wrote a big piece in newspaper about the experience and received emails about how museums are not working. (最后两句话可以二选一) Later, the director of the National Gallery in London shared some ideas with the speaker about museum.
