数字与计算题是听力理解测试中常出现的题型。内容涉及时间的长短、价格的高低、年月和日、街道、房间的编号以及电话号码等。往往要求考生采用加减乘除和混合计算法进行近音、近形数字的辨认。例如：
[例1]
You will hear:
M: Can you loan me $5?
W: I only had $10, but I just spent $7.
Q: How many dollars can the woman lend him?
You will read:
a. $10 b. $3 c. $7 d. $5
通过简单的减法计算：10 - 7 = 3, 就可得知答案是b。
[例2]
You will hear：
W: Tickets are four dollars，children’s tickets are half the price.
M: Okay, I’d like two adults’ and two children’s tickets, please.
Q: How much did the man pay for the tickets?
You will read:
a. $16 b. $12 c. $ 4 d. $6
只要进行如下计算: (两张成人票) $4 x 2 + (两张儿童票) $8 x 1/2 = $12, 就可以选答案b了。
[例3]
You will hear：
M：Is this 415 Fifth Street？
M：No，it’s 514 Fourth Street.
Q：What address is the man looking for？
You will hear：
a. 514 Fifth Street b. 415 Fourth Street c. 514 Fourth Street d. 415 Fifth Street
只要认真听, 并作笔记, 就不难知道答案是d了。
