Part One Listening Skills:Numbers

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。

1 数字的识别

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。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

Example

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.

D. Room 3250.

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。

Example

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。

2 数字的计算

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。

Example

You will hear:

Man:How many students took the final exam on January 8?

Woman:Well, I believe that we had twenty-three students from Class One, twenty-four students from Class Two and twenty students from Class Three.

Question:How many students altogether did the woman believe had taken the final exam?

You will read:

A. 67 students.

B. 43 students.

C. 23 students.

D. 24 students.

此题是一道连续加法题,因为题目中关键词是altogether,即参加期末考试的学生总人数,所以 23 加 24 再加 20 就能得出答案A。

Example

You will hear:

Woman:Your cousin graduated in 2016. What about you?

Man:I finished school a year later.

Question:When did the man graduate?

You will read:

A. 2015.

B. 2016.

C. 2017.

D. 2018.

本题的解题关键为later一词。男士比表弟晚毕业一年,故正确答案应为C项。

Example

You will hear:

Woman:Excuse me, could you tell me when the next train to Chongqing is?

Man:Sure. It’s three now. The next train to Chongqing leaves in two hours. But you can take a train to Chengdu, which leaves in 15 minutes, and then get off at Chongqing because it stops at Chongqing on the way.

Question:At what time does the train to Chengdu leave?

You will read:

A. 5:00.

B. 3:15.

C. 3:00.

D. 2:00.

本题中男士建议女士搭乘去成都的列车,中途在重庆下车。由于现在时间为 3 点,去成都的列车 15 分钟后出发,故正确答案应为B项。

Example

You will hear:

Man:I’d like to buy these four Thanksgiving cards. Are they fifty cents each?

Woman:Three of them are, but the smaller one is only a dime.

Question:How much are the cards all together?

You will read:

A.$1.6.

B.$1.75.

C.$1.55.

D.$2.

男士想买四张感恩节贺卡,前三张 50 美分一张,第四张需要 10 美分。如果知道a dime是10 cents,那么这道题就很容易得出A这个答案了。 V/ra1BVNVTeZm2x/ziZbcxz/a8DqlySoqA62/nKoWlPTrG2+3Qefftr7vcflLIMY
