M: I wonder if Suzy will be here by 5 o’clock.

Q: What time did Suzy leave home?
A) 5:15 B) 5:10 C) 4:30 D) 5:00
【解析】 首先辨清問題是Suzy什么時候從家里出發(fā)，Suzy的丈夫說她4:30離家，所以C正確，A、B、D都為干擾選項，A是Suzy最晚需要到達的時間，B是Suzy應該到達的時間，D是預先計劃到達的時間。
【例2】

A) 5,418 kilometers B) 5,481 kilometers
C) 9,000 kilometers D) 3,592 kilometers
【預測】 看到這種選項，表明其答案在原文播音中一定會放出，應做好相應 筆記。
【解析】 通過合并同類項方法可以排除選項C，因為四位數(shù)前兩位都是54，難點在于分清18和80的讀法區(qū)別至關重要：eighteen & eighty。所以選A，正確四位數(shù)讀法為five thousand four hundred and eighteen。
