　　【例1】 1997.6

　　W: Heres a 10-dollar bill, give me two tickets for tonights show please.

　　M: Sure. Two tickets and heres $1.40 change.

　　Q: How much does one ticket cost?

　　A) $1.40 B) $4.30 C) $6.40 D) $8.60

　　【预测】 看见选项带有$的符号，可断定这题是考与钱有关的内容，选项中的B和D又是倍数关系，往往为货币倍数计算题，所以确定B、D为最可疑选项。

　　【解析】 原文中出现4个数字，首先，聪明的你必须分清楚它们分别代表什么，之间有什么联系：10代表一张面值10美元（bill）的应付钞票，2代表要买的2张门票（tickets），1.40代表所找的1.40元零钱（change），1代表问题中问到的1张门票值多少钱（cost）。再来计算，不难发现 (10-1.40)/2=4.30，答案为B选项。

　　【例2】 1997.1

　　M: Whats the time for departure?

　　W: 5:30.That only leaves us 15 minutes to go through the customs and check our baggage.

　　Q: At what time did this conversation take place?

　　A) 5:00 B) 5:15 C) 5:30 D) 5:45

　　【预测】 通过选项发现此题的答案小时都为5，分钟各不同，可预测到这题肯定是考分钟的加减运算，并且分钟之间差额按顺序都有15分钟，故判断原文中可能会围绕fifteen minutes的计算。

　　【解析】 原文中共出现两个数字，因此在听的过程中注意与这两个时间有关的动作或事件。5:30代表航班起飞的时间，明白leave代表只剩下15分通关的意思，不难听出它们之间的加减关系，所以A和C可以排除，剩下用减法，答案为B。
