英文听力材料中的数字涵盖号码、年龄、人数、日期、时间、价格、大小、重量、高度等内容。考生需要掌握一些英文数字的读音规律，并有针对性地反复练习，有目的性地大声朗读并辅以手写练习。考生需注意在练习的过程当中一定要做到口、耳、眼、手并用。除了用一些近音、近形的数字来混淆考生，考查考生对数字的辨别能力外，试题中也有一部分计算题，需要考生对听到的数字进行简单的计算，而这些数字之间存在一定的关系。在听材料时考生除了要正确识别数字，还要捕捉数字间的关系，并据此进行准确的演算。
数字识别的关键是区分容易混淆的近音和近形数字。如thirteen和thirty，one和nine，eight和A，等等。这需要考生在平时的练习中对这些数字的发音进行反复练习。此外，还需注意数字间的短暂停顿现象（如电话号码中的国家代码、区号和本地号码间的停顿）、数字间的连读现象（前词尾音弱读），以及特殊的数字表达方式，如double在电话号码中表示两个相同的数字，224655，读作double two four six double five.
数字的识别还需要考生了解一些关于分数、小数、百分比、价格、日期以及时间表达的基本方法。
分数：1 ／3 读作one third；3 ／5 读作three fifths
小数：0.128 读作zero point one two eight； 33.36 读作thirty three point three six
百分比：83％读作eighty three percent； 29％读作twenty nine percent
价格：dollar：美元； buck：美元； quarter： 25 美分； dime： 10 美分； nickel： 5 美分；cent：美分； penny：便士； pound：英镑
日期：2019 年 9 月 30 日读作September the thirtieth two thousand and nineteen 在 19 世纪 40 年代读作in the eighteen forties 十年为decade；百年为century 每隔一天为every other day或every two days 前天为the day before yesterday或two days ago；后天为the day after tomorrow或two days later 两星期为fortnight
时间：6：00 读作six （o’clock）（sharp）；6：10 读作ten past six或six ten； 6：15 读作a quarter past six或six fifteen； 6：30 读作half past six或six thirty； 6：45 读作a quarter to seven或six forty-five； 6：55 读作five to seven或six fifty-five；00：25 读作twenty-five past ／after midnight
You will hear：
Man：Hello， my name is Carlson.I believe you have a room booked for me.
Woman：Oh， yes， Mr.Carlson.It’s a double room with a bath， Room No.3450.
Man：But I booked a single room with a shower.Did you make a mistake？
Woman：Sorry， Mr.Carlson.You can go to the Room 3215.I hope it will suit you， sir.
Question： What is the room that Carlson has booked？
You will read：
A.Room 3415.
B.Room 3450.
C.Room 3215.

此题主要考查考生对 15 和 50 的读音区别，是一道典型的近似音判断题。男士预订的是一间带淋浴的单人房Room 3215，答案为C。
You will hear：
Woman：Have you ever heard the final call for Air France to Paris Flight Number FA550 now boarding at gate 4？
Man：Oh， really？ But my Flight Number is FT455 which is supposed to board at gate 7.
Question： Which flight is the man going to take？
You will read：
A.FA500.
B.FT455.
C.FT415.
D.FA550.
这是一道事实判断题，仍然是考查对相似读音fifty和fifty-five的区别。试题要求考生在短时间里抓住航班号信息，这需要考生平时了解航班号的拼写规律。男士的航班号为FT455，故答案为B。
在听力考试中，单纯的数字辨认题并不多，更多的是数字计算类题目。在这类题目中，考生不仅要识别数字，还要洞悉数字之间的关系。通常情况下，表达加减含义的题目是通过类似more， less， fast， slow， before， after， late， early等形容词或副词来表达，而表达乘除含义的题目是通过倍数、分数、百分比等词来加以表述的。如：
A is N times as large as B，A is N times larger than B，A is larger than B by N times均表示A的大小是B的N倍，或A比B大N－1 倍。
数字计算类题目涉及距离、人口、价格、时间等方方面面。
