3. 細節(jié)題
從2003到2012年考題的題型分布來看，細節(jié)題占據(jù)了半壁江山。因此在聽力訓練時要有意識地提高對細節(jié)的敏感度，能對相關(guān)細節(jié)信息做出快速反應。新聞中的細節(jié)信息無外乎時間、地點、人物、狀態(tài)、原因和目的等。

總的來說，細節(jié)題要拿分難度并不大，關(guān)鍵還是在于如何有效獲取切題信息，關(guān)于這一點，我們會在下一章節(jié)的應試解析中詳細探討。

4. 數(shù)字題
數(shù)字題也是八級聽力里出現(xiàn)頻率較高的一種題型，考查考生對數(shù)字的靈敏度。

2005年第4篇的第1題：
According to the WTO, Chinese exports rose last year.
A. 21% B. 10% C. 22% D. 4.73%

According to the news item, Japan’s economic growth in the second quarter was ______ less
than the fi rst quarter.
A. 4 percent B. 3 percent
C. 0.6 percent D. 3.4 percent

聽數(shù)字一直是聽力的一大難點，熟能生巧是一方面，同時做題時也要注意策略。有時一篇新聞中提到好幾個數(shù)字。這時可邊聽邊做題，聽到符合題意的數(shù)字就選上，以防做筆記時記下一串數(shù)字，聽完了卻忘了各個數(shù)字匹配的內(nèi)容，這時再去回憶聽過的內(nèi)容就有些得不償失了。

5. 推斷題
推斷題可謂各類型聽力題中最難的一種，因為答案不是直接給出而需要考生通過一些具體句子去推斷。這種題型不但考聽力理解能力，也考邏輯思維能力。例如一則新聞播報一個地區(qū)發(fā)生數(shù)起爆炸事件，我們就可推斷這個地區(qū)社會不安定。

2007年第2篇的第2題是道比較簡單的推斷題：
The G20 is a(n) organization.
A. international B. European C. regional D. Asian

這篇新聞提到G20的功能與性質(zhì)，雖然沒有直接指出該組織的地域范圍，但從 ...the?G20 is made up of the European Union and 19 other countries including Australia, Brazil, China,?Japan and the U.S.不難推斷G20是一個國際型組織。

2009年第1篇的第2題是道較有難度的推斷題：
The news item implies that in the last report.
A. there were fewer studies done ? B. there were fewer policy proposals
C. there was less agreement ? ? ? ? ?D. there were fewer objectives

新聞雖未直接評述前一個報告，但從The UN panel released its last climate change report?6 years ago. The scientists say the new report is based on studies done since then and stronger?agreement on global warming.這兩句話可以推斷出在全球變暖這一問題上，新報告的意見比老報告的更統(tǒng)一，因此答案為C。
