TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Manager: Hi Sarah, thanks for meeting with me. I wanted to discuss the upcoming team reorganization. We need to integrate the new hires more effectively.
Sarah: Of course, Mr. Harrison. I've been thinking about that too. How do you envision the new structure?
Manager: Well, I was considering splitting the department into specialists for project management and client relations. What are your initial thoughts?
Sarah: That could work. It might streamline our workflow. However, I'm concerned about how it impacts our current client assignments, especially with the museum exhibition schedule coming up next quarter. We need to ensure continuity.
Manager: That's a valid point. We'll need to carefully plan the transition and client handovers. Perhaps we can schedule a follow-up meeting with the rest of the team next week to go over the details and address any concerns regarding the exhibition schedule's impact.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 經理：嗨，Sarah，謝謝妳來開會。我想討論一下即將到來的團隊重組。我們需要更有效地整合新進員工。
Sarah：當然，Harrison 先生。我也有��思考這件事。您設想的新架構是怎樣的？
經理：嗯，我正在考慮將部門分成專注於專案管理和客戶關係的兩個組。妳初步想法是？
Sarah：那或許可行。可能會簡化我們的工作流程。不過，我擔心這會如何影響我們目前的客戶指派，特別是接下來的博物館展覽時程。
選項：["為博物館展覽做準備。","改善客戶關係。","更好地融入新進員工。","降低部門成本。"]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是 C，理由是經理開頭明確表示「我們需要更有效地整合新進員工」(integrate the new hires more effectively)。這直接呼應了選項「更好地融入新進員工」。文章中的「重組」(reorganization)、「新架構」(new structure)、「分成兩個組」(splitting the department into specialists) 都是為了達成這個目的。
💡 應試技巧 — 留意對話開頭的「目的陳述句」，通常會直接點出對話的核心原因或目標。聽到「Why」問題時，優先尋找對話者表達的動機或需求。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — A) 為博物館展覽做準備 — Sarah 提到博物館展覽時程，但這是她對重組可能影響的「擔憂」，並非經理提出重組的「原因」。B) 改善客戶關係 — 雖然提到了「客戶關係」(client relations)，但這只是重組後可能的分工之一，不是重組的根本原因。D) 降低部門成本 — 文章中完全沒有提及任何關於成本或預算的問題。
