　　【例1】 1997.6

　　W: Here’s a 10-dollar bill, give me two tickets for tonight’s show please.

　　M: Sure. Two tickets and here’s $1.40 change.

　　Q: How much does one ticket cost?

　　A) $1.40 B) $4.30 C) $6.40 D) $8.60

　　【預(yù)測(cè)】 看見選項(xiàng)帶有“$”的符號(hào)，可斷定這題是考與錢有關(guān)的內(nèi)容，選項(xiàng)中的B和D又是倍數(shù)關(guān)系，往往為貨幣倍數(shù)計(jì)算題，所以確定B、D為最可疑選項(xiàng)。

　　【解析】 原文中出現(xiàn)4個(gè)數(shù)字，首先，聰明的你必須分清楚它們分別代表什么，之間有什么聯(lián)系：“10”代表一張面值10美元(bill)的應(yīng)付鈔票，“2”代表要買的2張門票(tickets)，“1.40”代表所找的1.40元零錢(change)，“1”代表問題中問到的1張門票值多少錢(cost)。再來(lái)計(jì)算，不難發(fā)現(xiàn) (10-1.40)/2=4.30，答案為B選項(xiàng)。

　　【例2】 1997.1

　　M: What’s the time for departure?

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

　　Q: At what time did this conversation take place?

　　A) 5:00 B) 5:15 C) 5:30 D) 5:45

　　【預(yù)測(cè)】 通過選項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)此題的答案小時(shí)都為5，分鐘各不同，可預(yù)測(cè)到這題肯定是考分鐘的加減運(yùn)算，并且分鐘之間差額按順序都有15分鐘，故判斷原文中可能會(huì)圍繞“fifteen minutes”的計(jì)算。

　　【解析】 原文中共出現(xiàn)兩個(gè)數(shù)字，因此在聽的過程中注意與這兩個(gè)時(shí)間有關(guān)的動(dòng)作或事件。5:30代表航班起飛的時(shí)間，明白leave代表只剩下15分通關(guān)的意思，不難聽出它們之間的加減關(guān)系，所以A和C可以排除，剩下用減法，答案為B。
