数字类新闻题：词类题⽬最易考察⾸句导语中的数字，但由于导语含义不同，数字在不同语境下所出现的形式也就不同。主要分为三⼤类。
rious是什么意思 1）分数此类题需要对基本分数的⼝语表达⾮常熟悉。如1/3 one third, 3/4 three out of four 或 3 quarters , 1/2 one half。 WASHINGTON -- A new national poll indicates that nearly three out of four Americans are scared about the way things are going in the country today.boron
ousia Seventy-three percent of tho questioned in a CNN/Opinion Rearch Corporation survey relead Monday say they're very or somewhat scared about the way things are going in the United States. That's six points higher than in an October poll. Nearly eight in 10 say things are going badly in the country, with just 21 percent suggesting that things are going well. The survey also says that three out of four Americans are angry about the way things are going in the country. But three out of four questioned say that things are going well for them personally.
National poll ：全国民意调查
survey : 调查
2）死亡⼈数（考试从未考过受伤多伤⼈，死亡⼈数才是真正有效答案数字，最稳妥的⽅法是选出数字
后，旁边记录关键词，因为有时会考如：“飞机坠毁，机上死了多少⼈，地⾯死了多少⼈，最后问⼀共死了多少⼈”）
The African Union responded angrily and defiantly to the killing of at least 11 Burundian soldiers in an apparent suicide bomb attack Sunday in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.
The 11 soldiers were on a peacekeeping mission for the African Union. The attack also riously injured 15 people.
A spokesman for al-Shabab, a radical Islamist militia with ties to al Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying at a news conference that it had been carried out by two "martyrs."
The attackers "have no care for Somalia, and their sole aim is to destroy and bring about more violence to the country," El-Ghassim Wane, an African Union spokesman, said from the organization's headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

3）指标类数字：
此类考题考察对象为：贸易顺差、股指、CPI等上升或下降多少，通常为百分数，即…percent，此类数字，通常考试为下降，但⼀般⽆需听出上升还是下降，只听出关键数字即可。但考⽣需要⼀点耐⼼，避免⼀些⽆效数字，例如本题中，“12 years，May 1997，S&P500”这类与指数数值⽆关的数字的⼲扰。把⼝译笔译站点加⼊收藏夹云的英文单词
