In such an environment, warfare is no longer purely directed against the military potential of adversarial states. It is rather directed at infiltrating all areas of their societies and to threaten their existences.The comparatively easy access to weapons of mass destruction, in particular relatively and low-cost biological agents, is of key concern. Both governmental and non-governmental actors prefer to use force in a war that can be characterized as “unconventional” or also as “small wars.” War waged according to conventions is an interstate phenomenon. The “small war” is the archetype of war, in which the protagonists acknowledge no rules and permanently try to violate what conventions do exist. The protagonists of the “small war” observe neither international standards nor arms control agreements. They make use of territories where they do not have to fear anysanctions because there is no functioning state to assume charge of such sanctions or because the state in question is too weak to impose such sanctions. This type of war does not provide for any warning time. It challenges not only the external security of the nation states and international community, but also their internal safety.

首先，在詳細講解閱讀題目的答題策略之前，需要講到的一點是，PTE開始採取交叉打分，所以口語部分的RA和寫作部分的SWT都會對閱讀成績有所影響。
同時，PTE閱讀部分的各個題目，都有相應的答題及備考策略。
今天小7跟大家分享一下關於閱讀部分經驗以及解答大家對於閱讀部分的問題。本期主要是針對其他幾項分數都已經過了自己的理想分數的，但是閱讀分數確一直考不出來的學生們。
那麼，PTE考試當中有哪些題型會對閱讀造成影響呢？除了閱讀本身的考試題以外，大家要知道其他考試部分也會給閱讀貢獻分數，而且首當其衝的就是全場考試的第一題 – Read Aloud。除了RA以外，另一個大頭就是寫作裡面的第一題 – Summarize Written Text。在聽力部分當中，也有兩個題型給閱讀貢獻分數，分別是Highlight Correct Summary 以及Highlight Incorrect Words。不過總的來說，對於閱讀影響最大的題型共有四個，分別是：FIB, RA, SWT, RP。把握這四種題型你的閱讀分數一定會達到自己的目標。我們現在就來一種題型一種題型來分析。
Read Aloud
RA的閱讀分數是體現在斷句上面。只要你斷句是正確的，那麼你的閱讀分數就會增加。PTE評分是根據你斷句的正確與否來判定你是否讀懂這一段落。因此，想要快速提高閱讀分數，一定要在平時就把RA的斷句研究明白，保證上考場的時候自然而然的把句子唸對。
例如下面一道題目：
This book is no ordinary book / and should not be read through from beginning to end. It contains many different adventures, and the path you take / will depend on the choices you make / along the way. The success or failure of your mission / will hinge on the decisions you make, so think carefully before choosing.
（除了標點符號以外可以斷句的地方由紅色斜槓標註）
Summarize Written Text
SWT的閱讀分數體現在考生的答案是否包含文章的重點資訊。對於這樣的評分準則來說，考生要儘量做到把每一段的主題和重點找出來。英文寫作當中，一段通常只有一個重點內容，第一句話一般是重點或者主題，後面的部分都是在具體解釋。所以當你縮寫第一句話之後，內容資訊基本都可以找的到。如果遇到沒有分段的文章，那麼考生則需要自己將一整段分成幾個小點，並將小點整合出來，完成寫作。
例如本題：
In such an environment, warfare is no longer purely directed against the military potential of adversarial states. It is rather directed at infiltrating all areas of their societies and to threaten their existences.The comparatively easy access to weapons of mass destruction, in particular relatively and low-cost biological agents, is of key concern. Both governmental and non-governmental actors prefer to use force in a war that can be characterized as “unconventional” or also as “small wars.” War waged according to conventions is an interstate phenomenon. The “small war” is the archetype of war, in which the protagonists acknowledge no rules and permanently try to violate what conventions do exist. The protagonists of the “small war” observe neither international standards nor arms control agreements. They make use of territories where they do not have to fear anysanctions because there is no functioning state to assume charge of such sanctions or because the state in question is too weak to impose such sanctions. This type of war does not provide for any warning time. It challenges not only the external security of the nation states and international community, but also their internal safety.
Fill in the Blanks
在前幾期的推送當中，同學們應該已經知道FIB的解題重點是搭配以及單詞。其實很多同學並不是因為完全沒有讀懂或者不認識單詞而造成的錯誤，而是因為不細心，沒有區分近義詞而導致的失誤。
例如本題：
Measuring poverty
Measuring poverty on a global scale_____ establishing a uniform poverty level across extremely divergent economies, which can result in only rough comparisons. The World Bank hasdefined the international poverty line as U.S. $1 and $2 per day in 1993 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), which adjusts for differences in the _____ of goods and services between countries. The $1 per day level is generally used for the ____ developed countries, primarily African; the $2-per-daylevel is used for middle ____ economies such as those of East Asia and Latin America.
1. requires/wants/needs/insists
2. supply/qualities/prices/demands
3. least/more/most/less
4. size/income/age/class
正確答案為： requires, prices, least和income. 第一個常見錯誤是，許多同學把needs和requires混淆。Needs是需要，而requires是要求，兩者的態度方面是有區別的。本文上下文是再說要求一個統一的貧窮水平的建立，所以這裡應當是requires。第二個常見錯誤是第三個空，很多同學都選擇less。這種錯誤是因為大家沒有看到這個空前面的the，比較級是沒有the，而最高階才有the，所以答案是least。
Reorder Paragraph
RP解題關鍵就是要看前後句子的連結，所以考生們在做題的時候一定要看好前後句子的連線以及邏輯順序，根據語法知識、閱讀理解以及指代詞語來分析做題。一定要把握好前後關係，這也是得分的關鍵。
例如本題：
1. It was there that Rosa Parks, an African American woman, refused to vacate her seat in the middle of the bus so that a white man could sit in her place.
2. She was arrested for her civil disobedience.
3. Parks’ arrest, a coordinated tactic meant to sparka grassroots movement, succeeded in catalyzing the Montgomery bus boycott.
4. Parkswas chosen by King as the face for his campaign because of Parks’ good standing with the community, her employment, and her marital status.
5. Earlierin 1955, Claudette Colvin, a 15-year old African American girl, had been arrested for the same crime. However, King and his civil rights compatriots did not feel that she wouldserve as an effective face for the civil rights campaign.
