听力技法——如何做听力计算题
英语听力中计算题涉及的信息转瞬即逝,尤其是较长较难读的内容更容易听错或者忘记,但涉及计算的题目都非常简单,重点是听明白单位数字及表达方式。
[技巧点拨]
1.掌握常见场景词汇。
(1)价格折扣或变化:10% off/discount打 9 折;half price/full price半价/全价;original/usual/normal/regular price原价;reduced to/by 降到/了……;double使加倍/翻倍
(2)含小数点:$0.50 fifty cents;$0.75 three quarters/seventy-five cents;$8.99 eight dollars and ninety-nine cents
(3)常见货币单位和符号:人民币yuan ¥;美元dollar $;英镑pound£;欧元euro
2.时间计算相关表达:
(1)还有五分钟have five minutes left/still have five minutes/another five minutes
(2)(表)快/慢五分钟five minutes fast/slow
(3)延误五分钟a five-minute delay;推迟一小时 be put off an hour;提前了一小时an hour ahead of time
3.日期的表达方式:六月一日June 1/June 1st/(the) first of June。
4.年份的表达方式:年份通常分为两组来读,前两个数为一组,后两个数为一组,如:1998 读作“nineteen ninety-eight”。但年份不止一种读法。2008 读作“twenty o eight”或者“two thousand (and) eight”。
5.世纪的表达方法和读法:“在十八世纪”通常用“in the 18th century”来表示,也可以表示为“in the 1700s”,要尤其注意后一种表达。

学生用书第19页

[典题示例]
听力原文
M:Excuse me.How much are the tickets,please?
W:They are $10 each,but students go half price.
M:Two student tickets,please.Here are our student IDs.
听力试题
How much will the man pay?
A.$5. B.$10.
C.$20.
[策略应用] 本题考查简单计算。根据内容可知,每张票价10美元,学生半价,所以两个学生票价为10美元,故选B,文中涉及数字关键词汇为$10 each,students go half price,Two student tickets等。
