各位学霸们好，今天黄老师跟大家来分享一道本周出现的PTE听力Summarize Spoken Text考试原题：Si-fi Novel（科幻小说）

SST注意内容

首先，对于听力SST来说，同学们需要注意以下几点：

1. 答案字数必须在50-70字之内

2. 答案需要无语法错误（不能套口语RL模版）

3. 答案意思需要尽量贴近原文

4. 机经命中率非常高（几乎100%）

5. 同时占听力和写作分值（各约10%）

黄老师推荐同学们在练习时训练自己的泛听抓重点+笔记能力。因为虽然PTE听力的SST和WFD这两个重点题型机经命中率几乎100%，但是其他所有题的机经命中率几乎都为0。所以如果没有一定的笔记能力，考试时也会在听力的选择题中大量失分。

对于SST这道题来说，目前约有30篇左右的考试原音频（雅培英语学员可以免费下载所有考试原音和答案哦），这些题目黄老师推荐同学们一定要仔细练习记录重点词能力哦！

那么，接下来让我们来看这道题的答案解析吧：

音频文本及答案解析

音频文本：（并非100%相同）

So, my mother’s a pediatrician, and when I was young, she’d tell the craziest stories that combined science with her overactive imagination. One of the stories she told was that if you eat a lot of salt, all of the blood rushes up your legs, through your body, and shoots out the top of your head, killing you instantly. She called it “high blood pressure.”

This was my first experience with science fiction, and I loved it. So when I started to write my own science fiction and fantasy, I was surprised that it was considered un-African. So naturally, I asked, what is African? And this is what I know so far: Africa is important. Africa is the future. It is, though. And Africa is a serious place where only serious things happen.

So, when I present my work somewhere, someone will always ask, “What’s so important about it? How does it deal with real African issues like war, poverty, devastation or AIDS?” And it doesn’t. My work is about Nairobi pop bands that want to go to space or about seven-foot-tall robots that fall in love. It’s nothing incredibly important. It’s just fun, fierce and frivolous, as frivolous as bubble gum — “AfroBubbleGum.”

答案：

* 主旨为科幻小说，与科幻小说无关的点无需记录
