大学英语六级听力中关于数字、时间表达方法及标志词解读
英语六级考试中听力占据很大的比例，也是大多数考生的弱项，失分比较严重，据研究，六级听力中大多数考点都集中在标志词前后，所以在听长对话过程中要注意听标志词前后的句子，请参考以下标志词，以及数字、时间的表达方法。接下来就和小编一起来看一下吧。
六级听力长对话要密切关注的十大标志词：
1.最高级标志词
形容词、副词最高级：most/chief/primary/main/leading/…

only/unique/prefer/every/one/of all/perfect/…

英语中时间的表达方法主要有直接法和借用介词法等。
(1)直接法。
上午八点 eight AM (a.m.) [eiem]
下午九点 nine PM (p.m.) [piem]
六点六分 six six
六点三十二 six thirty two
八点正 eight o’clock
(2)借用介词法。
八点四十五 a quarter to nine
七点零五分 five past seven
七点五十四 six to eight
六点半 half past six
(3)表示正点的用法。
十一点正 at 11 o'clock sharp
at 11 o'clock on the hour
at 11 o'clock on the strike
正午12点 at noon
午夜12点 at midnight
时间表示法和时段的简单运算是听力考试的热点，请看下面的对话：
W: How long does the class usually last?
M: Umm, let me think. It starts from a quarter to nine, and ends at nine thirty.
So...
W: That is fortyfive minutes. Thank you very much!
Q: When does the class usually start?
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.
