  一、数字表达类(Numbers)
  听力试题中所考察的题目很大一部分是根据所听内容填写诸如数字、时间和地点等具体信息。而数字、时间等信息正是中国考生最不容易听清楚的。下面我们将数字、时间等英语语言信息的日常表达方法介绍给大家:

  1.英语中纯数字的表达方法      

  大于100的数字:
  101   one hundred (and ) one
  200   two hundred
  998   nine hundred ( and ) ninetyeight

  在英语中上面括弧中的and 一般不能省略;而在美国英语中却往往省去。请分析下面的对话:
  A:How many people are killed in the terrorists' attacking at America?
  B:  That's nine hundred and ninetyeight, exactly.
  A:  Woo, you must be joking. How can you get such an accurate number? 
  B:  Ha, ha...  surely I am joking. You silly goose.

  大于1000的数字:
  1001   a/one thousand (and) one
  2232   two thousand two hundred (and) thirtytwo
  900,732,266,043  
  nine hundred billion seven hundred thirtytwo million two hundred sixtysix forty three

  英语中一千以上数字的表达方法是以三位数为单元,从高到低billion,million,thousand 而依次读出的。因此我们在听时,可以三位数三位数地记录。试比较下面的对话:
  A:Can you tell me exactly the numbers of the whole people in our country?
  B:One billion four hundred thirtytwo million two hundred sixtysix forty three.
  A:Thank you very much.
