關於地點的提問形式通常為：

Where are the man and woman speaking?
Where are the speakers now?
Where will the man/the woman go?
Where is the man/the woman?
4. 時間數字計算題：對對話中出現的一些時間和數字進行提問，通常要經過一些簡單的運算。
聽力試題所涉及的數字包括：年代、時間、年齡、距離、速度、價格、數量等，要求回答對話或某事在什麼時間發生;或某人在什麼時間做某事;或價格、數量等。在做數字計算題時，考生除了應該聽清具體的數字，還應該注意表示倍數、百分率等的量詞，例如： double, half, dozen, couple, thirty percent, three times, decade, century等等。同時，還要注意與數字有關的詞，例如：more, less, before, ago, later等等。此外還要注意文中較長的數字。
此類問題的.提問形式通常為：
When/ At what time did the conversation/dialogue take place?
When is the man/ the woman going to...?
How much/How many...?
How long...?
How often...?
另外，當對時間進行提問時，也可能不用數字而用表示時間的短語來表示，考生應注意以下幾點：
a. 根據表示時間的關聯詞來判斷事件發生的時間，如：before, after, when, while, then, until, later, right away, immediately, as soon as possible等。
b. 掌握年、月、日、星期等時間的表達方法。注意一些表示時間的詞，如 quarter, a couple of days, twilight, eve, fortnight(two weeks), dawn(daybreak), dusk(time just before it gets quite back)等。同時注意英、美不同的時間表達方式，如：2：15讀作 a quarter past two(英)或 two fifteen(美);2：30讀作 half past two(英) two thirty(美)等。
c. 有時候，文中通過從句或短語表示時間，而不出現具體表示時間的數字或表示時間概念的單詞，這種情況也要引起注意。例如："Aren't you glad the semester's over?"可以判斷出時間為"at the end of the semester"。
d. 從選擇項看到時間和數字題型後，要集中精力獲取時間和數字的資訊。把聽到的表示時間的數字順序記下來，並理解各項數字之間的關係。這樣做是因為文中有時不僅僅出現一個表示時間的數字。如果單靠聽而不做任何記錄，最後很容易混淆數字間的關係，無法正確回答問題。
e. 聽的時候注意近音的干擾要能準確區分：-teen /′ti:n/和/ti/。它們的區別不僅在於一個是長母音/i:/，另一個是短母音/i/;而且/′ti:n/是重讀音節，而/ti/不重讀。
f. 時間推算也是對話題目中的考點，同學們要學會英語中表示時間提前或推後的方法，如：提前或提早5分鐘 five minutes ahead of time; five minutes ahead of schedule; five minutes early; early by five minutes.推遲或吃到5分鐘 five minutes later; five minutes behind schedule; late by five minutes; be delayed/postponed for five minutes.
g. 為了快而準地對數字有所反應，同學們要熟悉一些單詞和表達方式：
時間：five o'clock sharp (5點整);on the dot(整點);the day before yesterday(前天); the day after tomorrow(後天);this time next week(下週此時); a fortnight(兩週); weekly(每週); monthly(每月);quarterly(每季);yearly/annually(每年); a decade(十年);B.C.(公元前)。
數字：one half/ a half; one and half; a quarter/ one fourth; five sixths; zero point five(0.5); one point five two(1.52); a couple of; million; billion。
貨幣：a dollar/ a buck; five cents/ a nickel; a dime; a quarter/twenty-five cents; a pound; penny。把外語站加入收藏
有關計算的表達：plus/add/addition(加); minus/take off(減); ,multiply(乘); divide(除); double(翻倍); triple(增加倒三倍); two more(多兩個); three less(少三個); half the price(半價); thirty percent off/ discount of 30%(打七折); at 15% discount(打八五折)。
5. 事實推理題：對對話中出現的一些細節進行提問，或者要求考生通過所聽到的細節進行推理。
a. 以事實為依據的問題要求考生回憶對話中的細節;儘量從上下文中推測不熟悉的單詞的含義;在聽的過程中儘快瀏覽各項選擇，以便預測一些問題;並對聽到的資訊進行分析、判斷。
對事實的提問形式有：
What does sb. do?
What is sb. going to do?
What/Which of the following is not mentioned in the dialogue?
What does the speaker/listener seem most concerned about?
What does the conversation say about...?
Why does sb. do sth.?
What is the purpose of ...?
What is the cause of ...?
b. 推理引申問題要求考生推測出某些細節的結果或對某些細節進行比較。
引申問題要求應試者推測出某些細節的結果或對某些細節進行比較。回答引申問題時應特別注意對話的最後部分。在聽的過程中儘快瀏覽各選擇項，以便做出某些預測;運用常識猜測某個細節可能有的結果。
常見的引申問題有：
It can be inferred from the conversation that...
The man/woman most probably...
What will the man/woman probably do next?
What can be concluded from the dialogue/conversation?
What does the speaker mean?
6. 觀點態度題：問說話者對某事或者某話題的看法和觀點。
對話中經常涉及到一方對另一方或某一事件、觀點、言論、行為的態度和反應，或贊成或反對，或滿意或失望，喜怒哀樂等各種情緒。此類題目的解題方法有：
a. 語音語調。英語中，語調主要有升調、降調兩種，另外還有升降調和降升調。不同的語調錶達不同的含義。例如，陳述句用升調表示說話者抱有遲疑、猶豫的態度;用降調錶示肯定。反意疑問句如果反意部分是降調，就表示肯定，希望得到贊同或支援;反之，則表示徵求對方的意見或不耐煩。
b. 提示詞和關鍵詞。考生可以根據一些提示性的語言或一些相關的詞語進行判斷，如 I think...; It seems to me that...; As far as I'm concerned, I could say...; It is/sounds true that...同時還要注意表示否定、轉折和虛擬等含義的指示詞。如，I'd be sacked if I accepted your offer.所表達的是拒絕。
c. 從字裡行間判斷。錄音材料的內容、材料中不會直接說明態度，但在字裡行間會有滲透，考生在聽懂對話的基礎上，依據語氣，充分理解其言外之意和所反映出來的態度。
常見的就語氣而提問的問題有：
What is the man's/woman's attitude toward the conversation?
How does the man/woman feel?
The man's/woman's feeling toward the subject can be best described as...?
