TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Man: Hi Sarah, do you have a moment? I wanted to discuss the upcoming office relocation.
Woman: Oh, hi Mark. Yes, I do. What's on your mind?
Man: I was reviewing the timeline, and it seems quite compressed. Are we sure about the moving date? It feels aggressive.
Woman: I understand your concern. The management is keen to finalize the move by the end of next quarter. We've confirmed the new building's availability, and the contractors are on schedule. We just need to finalize the logistics for the actual move.
Man: Right. Have we arranged for the IT department to handle the C-suite equipment first? Their setup is quite complex.
Woman: Absolutely. IT is prioritized. They'll be the first ones to be moved and set up in the new space. By the way, did you see the internal memo about the revised boarding gate for the upcoming company retreat flight? It looks like there's been a slight change. We should probably remind everyone.
題目
Why does Mark feel the relocation timeline is aggressive?
選項
- A. The moving date is too soon. ✓
- B. The contractors are behind schedule.
- C. The new building is not ready.
- D. IT equipment setup is too complex.
正確答案
A. The moving date is too soon.
解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 男:嗨,Sarah,妳有空嗎?我想討論一下即將到來的辦公室搬遷。女:哦,嗨,Mark。有的。妳在想什麼?男:我看了看時間表,感覺時間有點緊迫。我們確定搬家日期了嗎?我覺得這進度有點趕。女:我明白妳的顧慮。管理層非常希望在下個季度結束前完成搬遷。我們已經確認了新辦公室的可用性,承包商也都在按計畫進行。我們只需要確定實際搬遷的後勤安排。男:對。我們安排了IT部門來處理高層設備的設置嗎?
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「搬家日期太早了」。男性說「It seems quite compressed. Are we sure about the moving date? It feels aggressive.」,直接表達了對時間表的擔憂,認為目前的搬遷日期「aggressive」(進度趕)。這與選項「The moving date is too soon.」的意思最為吻合。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到表示時間緊急或時間緊迫的詞語,例如「aggressive」、「compressed」、「tight schedule」,就要特別留意後續的對話是否與時間表或日期有關。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 承包商進度落後 — 文中提到「the contractors are on schedule」,表示承包商並未落後。X) 新辦公室尚未就緒 — 文中說明「We've confirmed the new building's availability」,表示新辦公室已確認可用。X) IT設備設置太複雜 — 雖然Mark開始詢問IT設備的部分,但這並非他提出時間表「aggressive」的原因,對話並未深入討論IT設置的複雜性。
