听力试题中所考察的题目很大一部分是根据所听内容填写诸如数字、时间和地点等具体信息。而数字、时间等信息正是中国考生最不容易听清楚的。下面我们将数字、时间等英语语言信息的日常表达方法介绍给大家：
1.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 ) ninetyeight
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 ninetyeight, 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) thirtytwo
900,732,266,043
nine hundred billion seven hundred thirtytwo million two hundred sixtysix 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 thirtytwo million two hundred sixtysix forty three.
A：Thank you very much.
