4.英语中关于数字及其计算的听力考点
(1)数字辨别:
有关数字辨别的一个关键考点就是类似30/13,40/14,50/15,60/16的听音,看大家能否听出其发音区别。听力理解中难以分辨的基数词主要有以下几对:
thirteen与thirty; fourteen与forty; fifteen与fifty; sixteen与sixty; seventeen与seventy;eighteen与eighty; nineteen与ninety,在英文中这几对数词叫做teens and tens(十几与几十)。
不管加减还是乘除,这类题中至少会出现两个数字,你的任务就是迅速地判断这两者的关系,然后根据听音再确定正确选项。
(2)加减法计算:
在需要简单的加减法计算的题型中,对话中至少出现两个数字,它们之间的关系往往用“多少”、“迟早”、“快慢”、“前后”的形容词、副词或介词短语等来表达。还要注意一些能够表示数的存在或引起数的变化的动词,这些动词也能确定数字之间的加减关系,例如:
be, have, start, begin, spend, miss, leave, postpone, prolong, increase, add, borrow, lend, loan, delay, save, go up, go down, rate, at x% off the price等。

大家还应该记住下面这些表示加减关系的词:
more(多),less(少),late(晚),early(早),fast(快),slow(慢),before(前),after(后),add/addition(加上),plus(加上),subtract/ subtraction(减去),minus(减去)
Dialogue 1:
M: This black bag is 2.00 and that blue one is a dollar more.
W: The red one is twice as much as the blue one.
Q: How much are two red bags?
A.S|4.00B.S|6.00
C.S|8.00D.S|12.00
这道题从选择项上来看非常简单,因为数字不大,所以乍一看选择项有可能放松警惕,而实际上,这道貌似简单的题,中间却暗含着陷阱。因为原文中提到black、blue、red三个颜色的bag,最后提问的是红色书包的价格,包含了一个加法和乘法运算。如果大家在听的时候没记好,又没有做好笔记,就很容易出错。因此,在听力答题中要保持一个清醒的头脑,稳扎稳打是成功的重要保证。
Dialogue 2:
W: Three hours ago, I saw Bob at a meeting. Is he home yet?
M: No. He said he would be back at four and it's six already.
Question: What time did the woman see Bob?
A??2∶00 B??3∶00 C??5∶00 D??6∶00
在这个例子中,见到Bob的具体时间必须依据现在的时间推断出。现在时间是6点钟,而说话人是在三小时之前见到Bob的,因而那时的时间约是3点钟。正确的选项是B.
Dialogue 3:
M:Which coat did you finally decide to buy?
W: Well, I would like to buy the green one, but it was S|85.00, so I bought the pink one instead, and save S|35.00.
Question: How much did the woman pay for the coat?
A'60 B??75 C??90 D??50

原对话中并未直接给出说话人所购买的衣服的价钱,但可以通过其他信息推算出来。灰色衣服是85元,而买棕色的可以节省35元,即棕色的衣服是50元。应选D.
Dialogue 4:
W.How many people showed up for the meeting yesterday, thirty?
M:Twenty-five are expected to come, but the number was double that.
Question: What's the actual number of people who attended the meeting?
A'20 B'35 C'35 D'50
此题中的运算关系由double一词体现出来,即双倍的。原来预计有25人到场,实际上是原先的两倍,因而正确的选项是D.

英语数字的正确表达
在汉英笔译和英语写作中,经常会遇到数字;哪些场合用单词表示,哪些场合用阿拉伯数字表示,往往使人难以确定,现行语法书中也极少涉及此类问题。
实际上,以英语为母语的国家,在书写数字时已形成几条约定俗成的规则,现总结如下供读者参考。
一. 英美等国的出版社在排版时遵循一条原则,即1至10用单词表示,10以上的数目用阿拉伯数字(也有的以100为界限),这条原则值得我们行文时借鉴。
Eg. That table measures ten feet by five.
那个工作台长10英尺,宽5英尺。
Eg. The traditional pattern of classroom experience at the college level brings the professor and a group of 20 to 30 students together for a 45-to-50-minute class session two or three times a week.
由一个教授和十名学生每周会晤两三次,每次授课时间45到50分钟,是大学程度课堂教学的传统方式。
二. 人数用阿技伯数字表示显得更简洁明了,但不定数量、近似值用单词表示较恰当。
Eg. There are 203817 voters on the electoral rolls.

选举名单上有203817个投票人。
Eg. Nearly thirty thousand voters took part in this election.
近3万个投票人参加了这次选举。
三. 遇到日期、百分比、带单位的特殊数字,通常用阿拉伯数字。
Eg. Maximum swivel of table is l20.
工作台的最大回转角度是120度。
Eg. 3rd March l991或3 March l991;
a discount of 5 percent(5%的折扣);
Eg. purchased 7 yards of carpet(买7码地毯);
Eg. ordered 2 pounds of minced steak(订购2磅剁碎的肉)。
如果涉及的数目和单位是不定数,可用单词表示。
Eg. about five miles per hour(每小时大约5英里)
Eg. at least ten yards away(至少有10码远)
Eg. hesitated for a moment or two(犹豫了片刻)
Eg. I have warned you a hundred times(我已经警告你多少遍了)。
四. 在科技文章中,数字频繁出现,用阿拉伯数字比用单词陈述更有利。
Eg. The new engine has a capacity of 4.3 litres and a power out-put of 153 kilowatts at 4400 revolutions per minute.
这台新发动机的容积为4.3升,转速为每分钟4400转时输出功率是153千瓦。
Eg. We know that the weight of a cubic foot of air at 0oC and 76cm,pressure is 0.08l pound, or 12 cubic feet of air weigh a pound.
我们知道,1立方英尺的空气在0摄氏度和760毫米汞柱压力下,重量是0.81磅,也就是说12立方英尺空气的重量是1磅。
五. 句首不用阿拉伯数字,句末要尽量避免用阿拉伯数字。

Eg. 1345 kilograms force was applied at the center point of the bar.
试验时在杆的中点加1345公斤力。
可改成When tested, a force of l345 kg was applied...
六. 遇到分数,可用带连字符号的单词表示。
Eg. At 1east two-thirds of the class have had colds.
这个班至少有三分之二的学生患重感冒。
Eg. Nitrogen forms about four-fifths of the atmosphere.
氮约占大气的五分之四。
