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。

　　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.

　　Seventy-three percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released 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 seriously 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.
