PTE阅读中包含的题目种类有：Multiple Choice, choose multiple answer(多选题)，Multiple Choice, choose single answer(单选题)，Fill in the blanks-drop down list(从下拉列表中四个词中选择一个恰当的词填空)，Reorder Paragraph(将打乱顺序的句子正确排序)，Fill in the blanks-choose one from the below box(从文章底部方框中选择一个恰当单词或词组拖拽至空格中)

对于PTE考察的题型除了单选多选这种大家较为熟悉的出题方式之外，fill in the blanks和reorder graph这几类PTE独有的题型更为考察我们的正确逻辑架构。在PTE阅读中较为常见的逻辑关系即：对比，递进，疑问，因果，并列，解释关系等。

下面为大家列举上述几种逻辑关系的一些标志性逻辑连接词：

•       因果关系：标志词汇有for, because, since, therefore等;

•       转折关系：标志词汇有but, yet, although, however, on the contrary, on the other hand, instead等;

•       并列递进关系：标志词汇有and, indeed, also, besides, similarly, like, accordingly, in the same way, meanwhile, furthermore, moreover等;

•       解释关系：标志词汇有that is, that is to say, for example, such as, namely, in other words等;

除了掌握上述这些逻辑连接词，文章大意以及上下文语意关联也是我们需要非常重视的。拿Fill in the blanks一道题目举例来说：

• The practice of giving graduation gifts seems to be alive and well, despite _______ economic times. A recent study in the US has shown that while families may not have as much to spend, they are being more_____ in the gifts they bestow. Lavish celebrations and large lump_______ seem to have gone by the wayside in favor of smaller, more thoughtful gifts.

• Generous  hard  creative  money  sums  favorable

1. 通过前文的alive and well看出这里表达了积极的信息，然而seems to be又传达出一种潜在的转折概念，因此在看到despite之后要果断选择与前文相反的意思，这里通过语法分析要填形容词，因此选hard

2. 同样，while表达了该句话前后存在转折的关系，事实上families may not have as much to spend，转折就是他们无法更慷慨大方而是转而be more creative，因此选creative

3. Lump sum为固定搭配，意思是一大笔数额
