2023年12月英语四级听力方法：计算类概述题
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
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断到是考时间的加减关系，由于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筹备。原文中除去听清20和45两个数字以外，要紧的是了解其之间的联系，通过missed了解已经错过，而介词“by”专门用在计算题表差额;通过every了解每辆车之间45分钟，问的是wait for the next bus 还要等多久，非常了解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
原文中出现三个数字，11:00是Man感觉杰克应该到的时间;10:30是杰克的老婆说他离开家的时间;11:20是Woman觉得杰克应该到的时间。大家再来看问题，选B是对号入座。
假如没听清，这里就要充分运用方法来猜选，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”，通过合并同列项办法，就能猜选答案为B。
[page]等值转换题
M: These postcards cosplayt 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
第一句话是“声东击西”，60美分一打，问题并非大家所期待的考多少钱，考价格，而是在问数目，第二句话提到数目，但前面加了pair,意味着要乘以2。除去了解这类还不够，dozen是英语中数字的代用词，表示12。所以选C。
容易见到的数字计算类提问形式：

2. How much/many…? 6. How often…?
3. How long…? 7. How old…?
4. When…?
