PTE考生目前最大的问题之一就是练习题缺乏。除了有限的基本官方书（PLUS，Testbuilder, OG）之外
就没有题了。很多英语基础不是很扎实的同学很难找到练习材料。悉尼文波雅思PTE培训学校专门为澳洲，尤其是悉尼、墨尔本的PTE考生准备了适合PTE听力阅读练习的科学60秒。各位PTE同学可以练习PTE听力中的summarise spoken text和PTE口语中的retell lecture，PTE听力口语-科学60秒-Frosty Moss练习记笔记技巧和复述。废话少说，下面开始：

60秒科学节目（SSS）是科学美国人网站的一套广播栏目，英文名称：Scientific American – 60 Second Science,节目内容以科学报道为主，节目仅一分钟的时间，主要对当今的科学技术新发展作以简明、通俗的介绍，对于科学的发展如何影响人们的生活环境、健康状况及科学技术，提供了大量简明易懂的阐释。
Chatter about the Internet of Things is filling the air at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
And the long-sought holy grail of ubiquitous voice recognition really will eventually happen.
Soon people will, as a matter of course, communicate with their cars, homes, appliances and gadgets by speaking instead of typing.
And Facebook has seen—or maybe heard—the writing on the wall.
So the social media giant bought an 18-month-old start-up company called Wit.ai.
Wit developed a plug-in code that lets software developers easily build speech-recognition into their products.
Of course apps already exist that let you post to your Facebook feed without having to take your eyes off the road or sidewalk.
But on the horizon are voice commands to search your Facebook feed or even voice recognition to log on to your account.
Wit says its software will remain open source.
But for Facebook to have the company in house gives it access to the tools needed to keep up with tech powerhouses such as Apple and Google, which have been offering voice recognition for years.
Wit might also be part of Facebook’s virtual reality strategy, which got a big boost last year when the company bought Oculus Rift.
After all, how many of us are expert enough typists to hit the right keys with a visor covering our eyes?
ubiquitous： [ju:ˈbɪkwɪtəs] adj.无所不在的
holy grail：崇高的理想，（渺茫）希望
