PTE Retell Lecture真实讲座练习:历史学家如何知道过去?

在PTE中,无论是Summarise Spoken Text 还是 Re-tell Lecture的考题大都是从真实的讲座或者演讲中截取的,中间经常经常夹杂很多不同的环境音.很多同学都反映有时未必是听不懂,而是听不到. 鉴于此,墨尔本文波雅思PTE专门为大家总结了真实讲座的PTE练习音频,相比新闻音频来说,整体更加接近PTE考试的真题,内容方面,我们也会为大家提供考试中存在的近似题,最近我们会持续更新,敬请期待!


How do historians know about the past? For example, who invented the first modern-day steam locomotive? Well, we know that was Robert Stevenson and his Stephenson’s rocket locomotive built in 1829. How do we know this? We have the letters Robert wrote to his friend Terry Beachy, when he describes the initial testing of the rocket locomotive. Then there are written accounts of the Rainhill Trails, the grand competition that the rocket was designed and built for. We have printed handbills of the contests, which show images of the locomotive involved including the rocket and newspapers with first-hand reports on the days of events. Historians can then take all of these and consider them alongside other relevant information they have, such as books by other authors and specialists articles and even looking at artefacts themselves. In this case, the original Stephenson’s Rocket has been preserved and is on display at the London Science Museum. Historians can also share and discuss information they found with other historians who in turn can go on and share what they’ve learnt with others.
