很多人都抱怨PTE考试有些难，其实主要原因还是没有好好进行PTE培训，经过系统的教导后，相信你的PTE写作、PTE阅读、PTE词汇、PTE口语、PTE听力能力都能提高一个档次。今天小编想给大家呈现这些内容。
先看题：
Small, localised enterprises are becoming ever-more imaginative in identifying opportunities to boost tourism for their areas. A more unusual attraction is the Old Man of the Lake, which is the name given to a 9-metre-tall tree stump that has been bobbing vertically in Oregon's Crater Lake since at least 1896.
For over one hundred years, it has been largely ignored but recently it has become a must-see item on the list of lake attractions. Since January 2012, tour boats regularly include the Old Man on their sightseeing trips around the lake.
At the waterline, the stump is about 60 centimetres in diameter, and the exposed part stands approximately 120 centimetres above the surface of the water. Over the years, the stump has been bleached white by the elements.
The exposed end of the floating tree is splintered and worn but wide and buoyant enough to support a person's weight. Observations indicated that the Old Man of Crater lake travels quite extensively, and sometimes with surprising rapidity.
Since it can be seen Virtually anywhere on the lake, boat pilots commonly communicate its position to each other as a general matter of safety.
文章较长，分为5段，再看问题：
Which of the following are true of the Old Man of the lake according to the passage?
A. It has been a tourist attraction for decades..
B. It is close to the edge of Crater lake.
C. It is owned by a local businessman.
D.It can be a danger to boat users.
E. It is too small for someone to stand on.
这是一道单选题。PTE阅读单选题，是比较好做的。问题中的选项，在文中如果有对应的句子，就是对的。否则，就是错的。
我们，先来看问题。问题问的是，关于这个湖描述正确的有哪些?重点是， Old Man of the lake.这是一个景点，不用翻译。
然后，把5个选项逐一分析，与文章进行比对，正确与否就知道了。
A：这个湖成为一个旅游景点已经几十年了。A对不对，在第二段可以找到答案。
For over one hundred years，它一直被忽视，recently才被列为景点。所以，A不对。
B：它离Crater lake的边缘很近。关键词是Crater lake，直接在文中找。定为到第一段，which is the name given to，讲的是它名字的来源。
stump that，后面是bobbing vertically，并没有提到close，所以，B不对。
C：它被当地一个生意人所拥有。这个可以定为到第一段。第一句话，Small, localised enterprises，它们乐于开发景点。
Old Man of the lake，是其中的一个。这里需要比较的是businessman和enterprises。一个是商人、实业家;一个是事业单位、企业。不同的概念，所以C不对。
D：它对驾驶船的人很危险。定为到最后一段。as a general matter of safety.，boat pilots相互告知彼此的位置，是为了安全考虑。
也就是说，Old Man of the lake是一个隐患。世界上哪有百分百安全的事情。注意，选项中用的是can be，不是must，所以非常准确!D，正确。
E：它太小了以至于不能承受一个人站立。someone，不知道是谁，但只是一个人。第四段提到，but wide and buoyant enough to support a person's weight.。
明确提到，它很宽，浮力也很好，承受一个人的重量没有问题。所以，E错误。
结果，答案出来了，D。
单选题，只有一个答案。你可以看完5个选项再确定，也可以认准一个直接选，所以单选题好做，你觉得呢?
