TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Woman: Hi David, it's Sarah from Apex Solutions. I'm calling about our current service agreement, which is due for renewal next month.
Man: Ah, Sarah, thanks for reaching out. Yes, I've been meaning to discuss that. We're generally pleased with your services, but we've noticed a significant price increase in the latest quote.
Woman: I understand your concern. The increase reflects the enhanced features we've integrated, particularly the predictive analytics module which has been very popular. We also have an upcoming artificial intelligence workshop we believe could greatly benefit your team's utilization of our platform.
Man: That's interesting. While the workshop sounds valuable, our budget for this quarter is quite tight. Can we explore options for a slightly adjusted service package or perhaps a longer-term commitment at the previous rate?
Woman: Let me review the specifics of your current package and see what flexibility we have regarding the pricing structure. Perhaps we can tailor a commitment that aligns better with your budgetary constraints, while still incorporating some of the new capabilities. I'll look into it and get back to you by tomorrow afternoon.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 —
女：嗨，David，我是 Apex Solutions 的 Sarah。我打電話是關於我們目前一份下個月即將到期的服務合約。
男：啊，Sarah，謝謝妳聯絡。是的，我一直想討論這件事。我們對妳們的服務大致滿意，但我們注意到最新報價中有顯著的價格上漲。
女：我理解妳的顧慮。漲價反映了我們整合的增強功能，特別是近期非常受歡迎的預測分析模組。我們還有一個即將舉行的 AI 工作坊，相信能大大地造福妳們的團隊。
A) 一種新的定價結構
B) 一個預測分析模組
C) 一個即將舉行的工作坊
D) 增強的客戶服務功能

📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是 B) 一個預測分析模組。聽力內容中，女性說道：「The increase reflects the enhanced features we've integrated, particularly the predictive analytics module which has been very popular.」（漲價反映了我們整合的增強功能，特別是近期非常受歡迎的預測分析模組。）這裡直接點名「predictive analytics module」是很受歡迎的新技術。

💡 應試技巧 —
聽到「popular」或類似的表示受歡迎的詞時，要特別注意其後所連結的名詞。這裡的「very popular」直接連接到「predictive analytics module」，這就是題目在問的新技術。

📊 錯誤選項分析 —
A) 一種新的定價結構 — 雖然提到了價格上漲，但這不是「新的技術」，而是對價格的描述。
C) 一個即將舉行的工作坊 — 工作坊雖然被提及，但說法是「upcoming」，而不是「popular」的技術。
D) 增強的客戶服務功能 — 關聯性較弱，文中的「enhanced features」是泛指，而「predictive analytics module」是具體指出的受歡迎技術。
