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,PTE在线学院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!
下面是PTE学院小编为大家整理的原文材料：
Although we don’t think of oursleves as migratory in the way we do of other animal species, people have always been on the move, a few hundred thousand years ago humans migrated from the savannahs of Africa, and spread rapidly into present-day Europe and Asia. This migration coincided with successive cycles of glacial periods known as the Ice Age. And it probably occurred as humans followed the advance and retreat of plants and animals, humans survived the bitterly cold weather that prevailed in these regions due to their ability to make things such as shelter and clothing. But more importantly due to their ability to control fire. Later migrations took humans to Japan or to Indonesia and finally to Australia. They also migrated across the bering land bridge into north America and spread quickly down to the southern tip of south America. Later movements brought people to the eastern part of the Canadian Arctic and to northern Greenland. Human migration has not just involved taking over unused land. People have also invaded land occupied by other peoples through killing, displacing or genetically mixing with the lands existing in evidence. Looking at today’s world, it is clear that we continue to do this. To sum up, migration seems to be a fundamental human instinct.
