计算类。一般涉及时间和价钱的运算。
（1）问活动发生的时间或具体几点。该类的题一般不会直接告诉我们时间，会涉及到时间的一些简单的加减运算。要注意一些关键词，如：a quarter (to/past), half (past), daily, weekly, fortnight等。
W: Bob, are you going straight home after school today?

Q: When is Bob going home this afternoon?
A. Around 5:00. B. Around 3:00.

本题的关键是until one o’clock，和to spend a couple of hours at the library before going home。
（2） 商品的价格。该类的题也涉及到一些简单的加减乘除运算。要注意一些关键词，如：10% off, discount, double, half the price, couple, pair, dozen, a real bargain, on sale，change等。尤其要注意单件商品的价格，买多件商品是否优惠，找零，以及最后的问题是说话人要付的钱、单件商品的价格、还是买若干商品需要付的钱。如：
W: Here’s a ten-dollar bill. Give me two tickets for tonight’s show, please.
M: Sure. Two tickets and here’s a dollar forty cents change.
Q: How much does one ticket cost?
A. $ 8.60. B. $ 4.30

4．人物的计划或打算。 这类问题中第一个说话人往往会提出一种观点或提议或建议，要仔细听第二个说话人是同意还是反对。

如：
W：You need a rest. You’ve finished your exams. So why don’t you go away somewhere for a long weekend?
M: That’s a good idea. Perhaps Monica will come with me.
Q: What will the man probably do?
A. To have a good rest. B. To see Monica.
C. To go abroad for the weekend. D. To take an exam.
本题的关键是That’s a good idea，说明第二个说话人同意第一个说话人的观点。
（2）第二个说话人不同意第一个人的观点或提议或建议，大多数情况下是礼貌委婉地表达自己的不同意见，所以要特别注意：
如：
M: Mary, would you like to go to the movies with me after dinner?
W: Well, I’ll go if you really want me to, but I’m rather tired.
Q：What can we learn from the conversation?
The woman does not want to go to the movies.
The man is too tired to go to the movies.
The woman wants to go to the movies.
