我们生活在数的世界里，每时每刻都与各种数字打交道。从人口数量、价格、速度、高度、产量、时刻、年代、日期到比例、温度、银行账号、电话号码，生活中充满了数字，正因为如此，数字与计算在英语听力教学中占有相当的比重。培养自己的耳朵对英文数字保持敏感是听力训练中一项必不可少的基本功。那么怎样才能快捷有效地掌握这一技能呢?我们应从掌握数字的正确读法开始。能流利地读出各种数字是记忆数字的前提。
(1)基数词的读法
我们先从基数词人手。首先掌握三位以内数字的读法，因为它是多位数字的基础，一旦熟练掌握，再借助一个逗号，便可轻松应付四位以上任何庞大的数字。我们可以通过例子来说明这一点。
①3—5位数的读法
202读作：two hundred(and)two
234读作：two hundred(and)thirty-four
1， 234读作：one thousand two hundred(and)thirtyfour
但是在读法上须注意以下几点：
a．在英式英语中，一个数的最后两位(十位和个位)得用“and\'’，但美式英语中则不用。如：3，077读作：U.S：three thousand seventy—seven．
b．不定冠词“a”只在数的开头才和hundred，thousand等连用。试比较：
146读作：ahundred(and)forty-six
2，146读作：twothousand，one hundred(and)fortysix
c.1，000这个整数我们说athousand，在and前我们也说a thousand，但是在一个有百位数的数目前就得说one thousand试比较：
1,031读作：a thousand，(and)thirty-one,
1,150读作：one thousand，one hundred(and)fifty
d.hundred，thousand和million这几个词的单数可以和：“a”者“one”连用，但是不能单独使用。在非正式文体中“a”比较常见；当我们说话比较准确的时候就用“one”试比较：
I Want to live for a hundred years．
