计算题
M: When does the next shuttle bus leave?
W: You have just missed one by 20 minutes. We have a bus every 45 minutes, so you’ll have to wait for a while.
Q: How long does the man need to wait for the next bus?
A) 25 minutes B) 65 minutes
C) 20 minutes D) 45 minutes
【解析】 当你看见这四个选项，不难发现这一题是在考与时间有关的内容，并且从选项当中可以推测到是考时间的加减关系，因为其中三个选项都是正确答案的干扰选项，说到这里，你就要做好充分的思想准备。原文中除了听清20和45两个数字之外，重要的是明白其之间的联系，通过missed知道已经错过，而介词“by”专门用在计算题表差额;通过every知道每辆车之间45分钟，问的是wait for the next bus 还得等多长时间，很清楚这里是减法的计算关系，所以选择A。
细节辨认题
M: I wonder if Jack will come here by 11 o’clock.
W: His wife said he left home at 10:30, so he should be here at 11:20 at the latest.
Q: What time did Jack leave home?
A) 11:20 B) 10:30 C) 10:50 D) 11:30
【解析】 原文中出现三个数字，11:00是Man觉得杰克应该到的时间;10:30是杰克的妻子说他离开家的时间;11:20是Woman认为杰克应该到的时间。我们再来看问题，选B是对号入座。
【死马活医】 如果没听清，这里就要充分运用技巧来猜选，时间中的B和C选项，可以合并小时“10”;时间中的B和D选项，可以合并分钟“30”，通过合并同列项方法，就能猜选答案为B。
等值转换题
M: These postcards cost 60 cents a dozen.
W: Two dozen should certainly do.
Q: How many postcards will the man buy?
A) 60 B) 12 C) 24 D) 16
【解析】 第一句话是“声东击西”，60美分一打，问题并不是我们所期待的考多少钱，考价格，而是在问数量，第二句话提到数量，但前面加了pair,意味着要乘以2。除了清楚这些还不够，dozen是英语中数字的代用词，表示12。所以选C。
