　　“数字与计算”是早年大学英语四级统考中的听力测试的最常考项目之一，常见的计算题包括时间、价格、年龄、距离、速度等。出题形式可分为计算型、辨认型和替换型。以加减计算题为主。

　　（八）推理判断题

　　推理判断是英语四级听力测试中最常见的题型之一，难度较大。因为说话人表达思想的方法比较含蓄，不能为选择书面答案提供直接的信息，这就要求考生利用语音语调和逻辑推理的思维过程来判断对话的内在含义，领会说话人的真实意图。听力理解不但要听懂具体的话语，而且要能听懂隐含的意义，能判断讲话人的意图等。

　　这类题型在近几年的考试中题量大，而且有增加的趋势。

　　A) Jane is looking for a summer job. B) Jane is packing for the summer vacation.
