计算题
计算题在四六级英语听力中属于比较难的题型，要求同学们不仅能分辨不同的时间、金钱等数量概念，还应能将听到的各个数量联系起来进行加减运算。如：
① M： Your son seems to have made much progress in playing the
piano. Does he attend any piano classes?
W： Yes，he takes lessons twice a week，but from next week on，he
will go to the class on Saturday evenings， too.
Q： How often will the woman's son have piano lessons from next
week on?
A. Once a week. B. Twice a week.
C. Three times a week. D. Four times a week.
两次加一次自然是三次，答案是C.
② W： Professor Clark said that the mid-term exam would cover the
first 15 lessons.
M： Really?I thought it only included the first 12 lessons.Then
I must spend the weekend to go over the rest of the lessons.
Q： How many lessons must the man review over the weekend?
A. Five lessons. B. Three lessons.
C. Twelve lessons D. Fifteen lessons.
这是最简单的计算题，只要同学们不将答案误认为是C或D，就不会出错。
③ W：Here's a 10-dollar bill.Give me two tickets for tonight's
show please.
M： Sure. Two tickets and here is $1，40 change.
Q： How much does one ticket cost?
A. $1.40. B. $4.30. C. $6.40. D. $8.60
10美元，两张票，找零1.40美元，说明每张票为4.30美元。
从以上例子可以看出，含有数量概念的题，对话中提到的数量一般不可能为正确答案，总要同学们进行一些简单的加减运算。
4)言外之意、弦外之音
推测说话者话中之话是听力中必考的题型。从试题的设计特点来看，大体有一下几种：
(1)对虚拟语气的考查
包含虚拟语气的听力考题中一般都有“是不非”相对的选项，这就要求同学们了解虚拟语气的表意功能，根据虚拟语气判断正确选项。如：
① W：I'm thinking of going to Austin for a visit.Do you think it's
worth seeing?
M： Well， I wish I had been there.
Q： What do we learn from the conversation?
A. The man is planning a trip to Austin.
B. The man has not been to Austin before.
C. The man doesn't like Austin.
D. The man has been to Austin before.
I wish I had been there.说明说话人没有去过。
② W：If it hadn't been snowing so hard，I might have been home by 9
