TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Man: Hi Sarah, I wanted to discuss the proposed team reorganization. We need to streamline operations.
Woman: I read the initial proposal, David. I think restructuring the department will enhance efficiency, but I have some concerns about how the new roles will be filled. Especially regarding the new project manager position.
Man: I understand. That's where the new employee orientation program comes in. We need to ensure whoever takes that role is thoroughly onboarded. We're considering Michael from accounting, but he'll need comprehensive training specific to project management.
Woman: Michael's a solid choice, but his lack of direct experience could be a challenge. Have we considered an external hire? Also, what about the junior roles? Will they be promoted or will we need to recruit?
Man: We're leaning towards internal promotions for the junior roles to incentivize the existing team. However, the project manager role is critical. We might need to open it up externally if Michael doesn't demonstrate sufficient aptitude during the initial weeks of his potential transition, which our updated onboarding process will closely monitor.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 —
男：嗨 Sarah，我想和妳討論那個團隊重組的提案。我們需要精簡營運。
女：David，我讀了初步的提案。我認為重組部門能提升效率，但我對新職位將如何填補有些疑慮，特別是關於新的專案經理職位。
男：我明白。這就是新的員工入職計畫的用處。我們需要確保無論誰擔任那個職位，都能獲得充分的入職訓練。我們正在考慮讓會計部門的 Michael 擔任，但他需要專案管理方面的全面訓練。
女：Michael...
📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是「他正在被考慮晉升」。對話中提到「我們正在考慮讓會計部門的 Michael 擔任...新的專案經理職位」，並且需要「全面的訓練」。這明確表示 Michael 目前不是專案經理，而是被考慮擔任這個更高級的職位，因此這暗示著晉升。
💡 應試技巧 —
聽到關鍵職位名稱（如「專案經理」）和提到某人「被考慮」或「潛在人選」時，就該聯想到「晉升」的可能性，並留意後面是否伴隨「訓練」或「學習」的敘述，以確認是否需要培訓才能勝任。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 他已經是專案經理 — 這是錯誤的，對話中提到 Michael 需要「專案管理方面的全面訓練」來擔任新的專案經理職位，表示他目前不具備此職位所需的全部技能或資格。
X) 他對目前職位不滿 — 對話中沒有任何關於 Michael 對現有職位感受的線索，他是否有情緒不穩定是無法推斷的。
X) 他缺乏擔任目前工作的必要技能 — 這是錯誤的，對話暗示 Michael 來自會計部門，他目前的工作技能是足夠的，問題在於新職位需要的「專案管理」技能。
