2017年PETS三级听力心得技巧：地点场景题
在单句或小对话中，给出许多单词作线索，要求根据线索判断所发生的时间、地点、人物和事件等要素。
提问一般只有四个疑问词：when, where, who, what
常见的具体提问方式：
When does the conversation take place?
Where does the conversation most probably take place?
Where are the man and woman?
Who is the man/woman?
What is the probably relation between the man and woman?
What are the speakers doing?
What is the man/woman trying to do?
What is the man's/woman's job?
场景题题型的考试本质决定了做题关键是线索词。
1. 对多数场景来说，无需听懂整个句子或对话的意思，只需听懂几个孤立的线索词的含义即可。
2. 有些场景中的关键词是生词，通常不影响做题。 场景题考试一般较容易。
