這種題型相對來說比較令考生頭疼，特點是因為它的答案無法在原文中直接找到，必須通過換算的方式計算出結果，而並非運用原文中的線索直接加減乘除，所以你一定要對英語中的代用詞相當的敏感，以下為英語中常用到的代用詞，務必倒背如流。
① 時間的代用詞
quarter 一刻鐘、四分之一、季度 a dozen 一打、十二個
score 二十 monthly 一月一次
daily 一日一次 weekly 每周一次
fortnight 兩星期 decade 十年
century 世紀、百年 millennium 千年
② 倍數、貨幣的代用詞
double、twice 兩倍 fivefold 五倍
half 一半 a quarter 25美分
a dime 10美分 a nickel 5美分
