TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目

段落

Good morning, everyone. This is the quarterly earnings call for TechSolutions Inc. I’m Sarah Chen, the CFO. We’re pleased to report strong financial results for the third quarter ending September 30th. Revenue increased by 15% year-over-year, reaching $50 million. Net income grew by 10% to $5 million. These results were driven by higher sales in our software division and successful cost-control measures across the company. Looking ahead, we anticipate continued growth in the fourth quarter, though we are also managing some unexpected expenses related to our upcoming office renovation. We expect the renovation to improve our workspace efficiency and employee well-being. Further details on the renovation timeline will be shared next week. Thank you. We will now open the floor for questions.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位早安。這裡是 TechSolutions 公司本季的營收電話會議。我是財政部長 Sarah Chen。我們很高興向各位報告截至 9 月 30 日止，第三季強勁的財務表現。今年度的營收成長了 15%，達到 5000 萬美元。淨利成長了 10%，達到 500 萬美元。這些成果歸功於我們的軟體部門銷售額的提升，以及公司整體成功的成本控制措施。展望未來，我們預期第四季將持續成長，但也將同時因應即將進行的辦公室重新裝修所產生的一些預期外開銷。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「去年的營收成長是多少？」。題目問 CFO 提到營收的何事，文中明確指出「Revenue increased by 15% year-over-year」。這直接對應了選項「What was the year-over-year revenue growth?」。關鍵字是 "revenue" 和 "year-over-year"。
💡 應試技巧 — 在聽 Part 4 時，一聽到題目關鍵字（如 revenue），就預期聽者會提供與之相關的數字或比較。聽到 "year-over-year" 後，緊接著出現的百分比或數字最有可能就是答案。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 營收增加了多少？ — 選項問的是「多少」，但文中提供的是「百分比」和「與去年比較」，這個選項不夠精確。
X) 辦公室的裝修何時開始？ — 文章提到辦公室裝修是預期外的開銷，但並未提及開始的時間。
X) 淨利是多少？ — 選項詢問的是淨利，但題目問的是 CFO 提到「營收」的部分。
