8、” the Bulletin reports.,时间数字计算体,：对出现的一些时间和数字进行提问，通常要经过一些简单的运算 听力试题所涉及的数字包括：年代、时间、年龄、距离、速度、价格、数量等，要求回答对话或某事在什么时间发生；或某人在什么时间做某事；或价格、数量等。在做数字计算题时，考生除了应该听清具体的数字，还应该注意表示倍数、百分率等的量词，例如： double, half, dozen, couple, thirty percent, three times, decade, century等等。同时，还要注意与数字有关的词，例如：more, less, before, ago, la

9、ter等等。此外还要注意文中较长的数字。,另外，当对时间进行提问时，也可能不用数字而用表示时间的短语来表示，考生应注意以下几点：,a. 根据表示时间的关联词来判断事件发生的时间，如：before, after, when, while, then, until, later, right away, immediately, as soon as possible等。b. 掌握年、月、日、星期等时间的表达方法。注意一些表示时间的词，如 quarter, a couple of days, twilight, eve, fortnight(two weeks), dawn(daybreak),

10、dusk(time just before it gets quite back)等。同时注意英、美不同的时间表达方式，如：2：15读作 a quarter past two(英)或 two fifteen（美）；2：30读作 half past two(英) two thirty（美）等。c. 有时候，文中通过从句或短语表示时间，而不出现具体表示时间的数字或表示时间概念的单词，这种情况也要引起注意。例如：“Arent you glad the semesters over?”可以判断出时间为“at the end of the semester”。,d. 从选择项看到时间和数字题型后，要集中

11、精力获取时间和数字的信息。把听到的表示时间的数字顺序记下来，并理解各项数字之间的关系。这样做是因为文中有时不仅仅出现一个表示时间的数字。如果单靠听而不做任何记录，最后很容易混淆数字间的关系，无法正确回答问题。e. 听的时候注意近音的干扰要能准确区分：-teen /ti:n/和/ti/。它们的区别不仅在于一个是长元音/i:/，另一个是短元音/i/；而且/ti:n/是重读音节，而/ti/不重读。f. 时间推算也是对话题目中的考点，同学们要学会英语中表示时间提前或推后的方法，如：提前或提早5分钟 five minutes ahead of time; five minutes ahead of sc

12、hedule; five minutes early; early by five minutes.推迟或吃到5分钟 five minutes later; five minutes behind schedule; late by five minutes; be delayed/postponed for five minutes.,g.,为了快而准地对数字有所反应，同学们要熟悉一些单词和表达方式：时间：five oclock sharp (5点整)；on the dot(整点)；the day before yesterday(前天); the day after tomorrow(后天
