英语四级听力暑期备考必备做题技巧(4)

　　原因是在原文中有很多干扰信息，其迷惑性极高，容易使人掉入其陷阱当中。所以遇到这种题型，首先务必明确其所有相关数字它们分别代表什么，并且关键是问什么，做好相应笔记，不要张冠李戴，盲目作答。尤其是要分清数字中-teen和-ty等之类读法的区别：前者为重读音节ee发长元音/ i:/，而后者不是。

　　【例1】 2001.6

　　M: I wonder if Suzy will be here by 5 oclock.

　　W: Her husband said she left home at 4:30, she should be here at 5:10,maybe 5:15 at the latest.

　　Q: What time did Suzy leave home?

　　A) 5:15 B) 5:10 C) 4:30 D) 5:00

　　【解析】 首先辨清问题是Suzy什么时候从家里出发，Suzy的丈夫说她4:30离家，所以C正确，A、B、D都为干扰选项，A是Suzy最晚需要到达的时间，B是Suzy应该到达的时间，D是预先计划到达的时间。

　　【例2】

　　W: Tom, you know that America covers an area of 9 million square kilometers?

　　M: Thats right. I also know the continental United States stretches 5,418 kilometers from the east to the west.

　　Q: What is the breadth of the continental USA from the east to the west?

　　A) 5,418 kilometers B) 5,481 kilometers

　　C) 9,000 kilometers D) 3,592 kilometers

　　【预测】 看到这种选项，表明其答案在原文播音中一定会放出，应做好相应 笔记。

　　【解析】 通过合并同类项方法可以排除选项C，因为四位数前两位都是54，难点在于分清18和80的读法区别至关重要：eighteen eighty。所以选A，正确四位数读法为five thousand four hundred and eighteen。
