從選項(xiàng)看，三題均為時(shí)間數(shù)字題，而例1和例2是表示一段時(shí)間，應(yīng)該猜出提問(wèn)的方式是How long…? 或When….? 而例3 則是鐘點(diǎn)時(shí)間， 為時(shí)間點(diǎn)，不是段，因此問(wèn)題的提問(wèn)方式就可能只是When…? 或What time…? 請(qǐng)看它們的錄音原文。
例1：W: How long will it take you to fix my watch?
M: I’ll call you when it’s ready, but it shouldn’t take longer than a week.
Q: When will the woman probably get her watch back?
例2：W: How long have you been in our country?
M: I just arrived two days ago. I will be spending a month here.
Q: When will the man leave?
例3：W: My watch is 8:00 sharp. Is it right?
M: I don’t think so. My watch is 8:10. But it is three minutes fast.
Q: What time is it now?
它們的答案分別B、A 和C。
例4：You read:
A. Twenty dollars. B. Twenty-five dollars.
C. Forty dollars. D. Fifty dollars.
可以從選項(xiàng)就斷定這是一題價(jià)格數(shù)字題，首先可以考慮到問(wèn)題十有八九是How much…? 或What price…? 帶問(wèn)題重點(diǎn)聽(tīng)清對(duì)話(huà)中的數(shù)字。
M: How much are these sweaters?
W: They are on sale today, sir. Twenty-five dollars each, or two for forty dollars.
Q: How much does one sweater cost?
從對(duì)話(huà)中得知：每件毛衣25元；若買(mǎi)兩件，只要40元。問(wèn)題：一件毛衣多少錢(qián)？顯然，正確答案是B。
例5：You read:
A. 15. B.25.
C. 35. D.45.
這個(gè)例子與前四例又有不同。四個(gè)選擇項(xiàng)僅是數(shù)字，根本無(wú)法確定這題是什么類(lèi)型的數(shù)字題，從而也很難預(yù)測(cè)問(wèn)題將是哪方面的，這是數(shù)字計(jì)算題中最難的試題。那么，如何對(duì)付這種試題呢？聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)重點(diǎn)要抓住以下四個(gè)方面：數(shù)字；數(shù)字的內(nèi)容；答話(huà)，即第二個(gè)說(shuō)話(huà)者所講的話(huà)；問(wèn)題。請(qǐng)看錄音原文：
M: How many people will be coming to the meeting?
W: We had to cross off fifteen names from our original list of fifty.
Q: How many people will attend the meeting now?
從男士講的話(huà)中知道這其實(shí)是一題關(guān)于人數(shù)的數(shù)字計(jì)算題，是多少人來(lái)參加會(huì)議；從女士的話(huà)中知道要從原先的50人的名單中劃去15人。據(jù)此，便可算出有35人來(lái)參加會(huì)議，正確的答案是C。
l 判斷題
這類(lèi)題型的宗旨是根據(jù)男女說(shuō)話(huà)這間的情景對(duì)話(huà)，迅速而又準(zhǔn)確地判斷出說(shuō)話(huà)者間的關(guān)系、身份以及他們所處的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)或他們的職業(yè)等。解這種題總的方法有三點(diǎn)：
1）根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，預(yù)測(cè)提問(wèn)的可能方式；
2）根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思，重點(diǎn)聽(tīng)清與此有關(guān)的信息詞；
3）準(zhǔn)確判斷對(duì)話(huà)主題。
請(qǐng)看下面幾例，觀察解題方法和技巧。
例1：You read:
A. In a restaurant. B. At the railway station.
C. In the post office. D. At the airport.
四個(gè)選項(xiàng)表明，這是一題與地點(diǎn)有關(guān)的判斷題。由此，可以猜到，問(wèn)題可能是Where…? 或What place…? 的句式。聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)，要重點(diǎn)聽(tīng)清關(guān)鍵詞，判明主題，確定地點(diǎn)，選出答案。請(qǐng)看原文：
M: Excuse me, but which gate is for flight 2441 to Chengdu?
W: It’s Gate 8.
Q: Where does this conversation most likely take place?
