在PTE考试的阅读部分中，Re-order Paragraph是得分非常关键的一个部分。今天来介绍这个题型的解题技巧，帮助大家顺利得分！
技巧一
找出首句是成功的一半！
如何顺利找到首句呢？
句子中出现——“人物”、“地点”、“机构”、“概念”，的单词都极有可以成为首句。
例题1：
A. He was looking forward to opening up the presents in the solitude of his room.
B. Sanjay’s birthday was celebrated with a big bash.
C. But the guests insisted he open them up right there.
D. Several people arrived at his home bearing gifts, both big and small.
解题技巧：
技巧1：“背景思路”
B句中出现了“人名”——Sanjay、“事件”——birthday；都属于“背景信息”，是首句的标志性信息。所以第一句是B，介绍“这是谁的生日”。
技巧2：“指代思路”
四个句子中，除了B句之外，其他句子中都出现了代词“He/His”，这些统统指代的是“Sanjay”，因此B句是必须要放在开头出现的。
总结：找到每个“paragraph”的主题，这样容易抓住故事主线，排出顺序。
技巧二
庖丁解牛，段中总结后再排序
在确定了首句之后，我们就可以开始“解决”段中的排序工作。总体思路就是：不要试图读每个单词，特别是遇到句子长的题目。而是应该先总结出每个“paragraph”的核心概念，把关键信息抽离出来。并且加上合理的理解，使整个故事线跃然纸上。
另外，很多题目都是有关于一个“事件”，或者“活动”展开的；如果遇到这种题目，通过分析活动的步骤/顺序，答案就非常显而易见了。
例题2：
A. He accumulates some capital and goes into a business venture with his sons.
B. In order to increase his salary he works through the night.
C. They open a shop to create men’s garments.
D. Later he takes the garments and sells it on New York streets.
E. He takes garments from the sweatshop to finish at home with the help of his wife and older children at night.
F. A Russian tailor artisan comes to America, takes to the needle trade, and works in sweatshop for small salary.
解题技巧：
Step1：复习技巧一
根据技巧一，我们可以轻松判断F句为首句。
因为句中介绍了“人名”和他的“工作”，
Step2：庖丁解牛术——总结每段大意。
改写段落：
A. He accumulates some capital first.
B. He then starts working through the night to earn more.
C. They open a shop.
D. Only after having worked day and night does his work get ready for sale.
E. He then goes home and works again with his family’s help
F. A man works in a shop to earn his daily bread.
题目分析
在改写之后，我们看到了两个故事线。
故事线A：
一个打工挣钱的裁缝。→ 晚上回到家，在家人的帮助下继续工作。→ 工作整夜，挣到更多的钱。→ 通过不分昼夜的工作，他终于准备了足够的衣服销售。
根据以上的分析，我们可以推断出，F后面的顺序应该是 E-B-D.
故事线B：
C句说的是“这个人开了家商店”，开店应该在有了钱（capital）之后， 因此，A会在C之后出现。
现在，我们就可以得到整个题目的答案了：F-E-B-D-A-C.
技巧三
连词提示
不同段落之间会出现“连词”，例如：although, though, if, until, since, but, after, alternatively, besides, then, yet, because, consequently, notwithstanding, and, when, meanwhile, so, however, for, whoever, whatever, whenever, nevertheless, therefore, furthermore, whereas, moreover，等等。
出现这些词的句子，都不可能是第一句。因为“连词”的作用就是连接上文中出现或者提到过的人、事以及句子。
例题3：
A. Friendly wash by many other smaller brands have challenged the giants by offering prices which attracted the value-conscious Indian consumer.
B. In fact, unbranded players are offering packs which are twice the size of a branded product with similar or better quality at cheaper prices.
B句出现的“In fact”相当于连词，不可能是第一句，所以段落顺序应该是 A-B
技巧四
冠词提示
冠词有时也可以帮我们找出答案。
“The”是“定冠词”，用来指代某个特殊的人或事，是前文中介绍过的；
“A”和“An”是不定冠词，一般是泛指某个名词，或者文章中第一次出现的事情，例如： ‘A hit-and-run case usually has a ten year jail term as punishment in India.’
例题4：
A. A boy and his friend played all day in the garden near our house.
B. The next day, I didn’t see the boy in the garden, though his friend was there.
B句中“the boy”中的“the”，明确了“boy”是上文中出现的人，所以不可能是首句。顺序就是A-B.
技巧五
代词提示
代词包括：he, she, they, it, them, their, him, her等等；指“某个已经被提到过的人”。有些题目可以通过判断“代词”来解答。
例题5：
A. They gathered together the death certificates from residents of the town, going back to as many years as they could.
B. Wolf decided to investigate.
C. He enlisted the support of his students and colleagues from Oklahoma.
由于B句中，清楚的指出了有个叫做“Wolf”的人，毫无疑问，这就是第一句。下面的C句中的 ‘he’，指代的就是Wolf.
而，只有在Wolf在得到朋友帮助之后，才能出现“They”这个概念，所以A，应该是最后一句。
正确答案就是： B-C-A.
技巧六
比较级提示
出现比较级的词，就代表存在两个对象的关系，也能帮我们找到答案。例如： ‘simpler’, ‘better’, ‘cleverer’.
例题6：
A. The solution that you had put up was good.
B. Riya had posted her solution that I found to be better.
这种情况，显而易见，答案是A-B
以上就是ROP题型的解题思路，抓住几个原则，就能轻松解题得分！
