最近有一些同学反映考试成绩出来发现阅读部分的分数不足够，而这其中不少同学口语已经达到了目标分数，甚至比阅读分高出很多。如果你也存在这样的问题，有没有想过是哪部分分数不足呢？

根据PTE各大题型占分比例，给阅读贡献分数的题型主要是口语的RA，写作部分SWT，以及阅读RO和FIB（有些听力题型也贡献一小部分，如HIW）。其实当你口语分数足够了，阅读却偏低，这时你最需要考虑到的一个题型就是SWT。因为这个题型是主观题（或者说是输入型的题，跟RA一样），代表着你的熟练度是很重要的，往往和你考前的练习量成正比。所以当阅读分数不够的时候，请大家想一想自己SWT的分数是否拿够呢? 

如何去分析自己分数是否真的拿够了？一个非常主要的方面就是内容，SWT的信息点其实是非常重要的，整篇文章的框架把握不住可能会导致失分严重。在这里建议大家平时整理机经需要去正向练习，即看到一个题目（一篇机经），先当做考试做一个练习，然后把自己的答案跟机经答案进行信息点上的比对。这个时候可以发现自己概括的信息点与机经答案区别在哪。当你把大部分SWT文章的信息点都把握的很好，我相信你阅读部分会非常轻松。接下来这篇文章会先给出一道SWT新题供大家练习，先自己练习再看答案哦，文末已附上参考答案。

原文：

The advantages and disadvantages of solar power compared to other forms of renewable energy have been greatly debated. While obviously superior to some forms of energy, solar power's high cost and efficiency dependent on geography have limited its appeal. However, a large number of advantages also merit further development and even possible adaptation for residences. Advantages of Solar Power Solar energy remain popular because it is both a renewable and clean source of energy. These advantages go along with the hope that eventually nations can use solar power to decrease global warming and ensure its popularity.

Solar energy is a true renewable resource. All areas of the world have the ability to collect some amount of solar powerand solar power is available for collection each day. Solar energy is non-polluting. It does not create greenhouse gases, such as oil based energy does, nor does it create waste that must be stored, such as nuclear energy. It is also far quieter to create and harness, drastically reducing the noise pollution required to convert energy to a useful form.

Residential size solar energy systems also have very little impact on the surrounding environment, in contrast with other renewable energy sources such as wind and hydro electric power. Solar panels have no moving parts and require very little maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Without moving parts to break and replace, after the initial costs of installing the panels, maintenance and repair costs are very reasonable.

第一段：

这一段主要是围绕太阳能的优劣势来展开的，所以与这一主旨相关程度越高的句子越容易成为主要信息点。所以标出的重点信息如下。

与其他形式的可再生能源相比，太阳能的优势和劣势备受争议。虽然明显优于某些形式的能源，但太阳能的高成本和取决于地理位置的效率限制了它的吸引力。但是，许多优点也值得进一步地开发太阳能，甚至让其适用于住宅。太阳能的优势仍然很受欢迎，因为它既是可再生的，也是清洁的能源。这些优势也伴随着一个希望就是最终各国可以利用太阳能来减少全球变暖，确保太阳能得到普及。

第二段：

Solar energy is a true renewable resource. All areas of the world have the ability to collect some amount of solar power andsolar power is available for collection each day. Solar energy is non-polluting. It does not create greenhouse gases, such as oil based energy does, nor does it create waste that must be stored, such as nuclear energy. It is also far quieter to create and harness, drastically reducing the noise pollution required to convert energy to a useful form.

这一段包含了一些重复信息，包括solar energy可再生和清洁的特性。所以段落的大部分内容可以过滤掉，留下一条补充太阳能特点的信息。

太阳能是一种真正的可再生资源。世界上所有地区都有能力收集一定量的太阳能，并且每天都可以收集太阳能。太阳能是无污染的，它不会产生温室气体，例如石油能源所产生的，也不会产生必须储存的废物，例如核能的产物。它的制造和安装也更加安静，大大减少了将能量转换为有用形式所产生的噪音污染。

第三段：

Residential size solar energy systems also have very little impact on the surrounding environment, in contrast with other renewable energy sources such as wind and hydro electric power. Solar panel shave no moving parts and require very little maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Without moving parts to break and replace, after the initial costs of installing the panels, maintenance and repair costs are very reasonable.

这一段在说住宅规模的太阳能系统，我们判断一下重复的信息有“影响小”，和“维护成本低”，我们需要做的是记录这两个主要信息点，并过滤掉重复这两个信息点的句子。

与风能和水力发电等其他可再生能源相比，住宅规模的太阳能系统对周围环境的影响也很小。太阳能电池板没有活动部件，除了定期清洁外，几乎不需要维护。不需要移动部件来拆卸和更换，在花费初始成本安装太阳板之后，维护和维修成本是较低的。

参考答案：

The advantages and disadvantages of solar power have been greatly debated; while the drawbacks of solar power are its high cost and efficiency dependent on geography, the advantage is that solar power, which requires minimum amount of maintenance and repair, is quiet and clean energy, and it has very little impact on the surrounding environment.
