TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Woman A: Thanks for coming, everyone. Let's get started. The primary goal today is to lock down the timeline for the Metropolis project. We're currently looking at a Q3 launch, but we need to firm up the key milestones.
Man B: I agree. I've drafted a preliminary schedule based on our last discussion. It outlines the design phase, development, and testing. I've put a copy in the shared drive.
Woman A: Excellent. Did you factor in the potential delays with the component sourcing? We had a similar issue last year with theipherals.
Man B: Yes, I've included a buffer of about ten days for that. It seems prudent, especially with the upcoming neighborhood cleanup event potentially impacting local logistics around the development site.
Woman C: Speaking of the cleanup event, have we confirmed volunteer numbers yet? That might affect site access during the final testing phase if it's too close.
Woman A: Good point, Sarah. Let’s address that after we finalize the project schedule. For now, let’s focus on approving these milestones. Does the Q3 end date still look feasible, David?
Man B: With the current plan and the buffer, yes, it should be achievable. We'll just need to monitor the component lead times closely.

選項

  1. A. It could disrupt local logistics and site access. ✓
  2. B. It may require some team members to volunteer.

  4. D. It will delay the Q3 launch date.

正確答案

A. It could disrupt local logistics and site access.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 女A：謝謝大家前來，我們開始吧。今天的首要目標是確定「都會計畫」的時間表。我們目前預計在第三季推出，但需要確定關鍵的里程碑。
男B：我同意。我根據我們上次的討論起草了一份初步時程表。其中概述了設計階段、開發和測試。我已將一份副本放在共享硬碟中。
女A：很好。你考慮進了零組件採購可能延遲的因素嗎？我們去年在週邊設備上也遇到過類似的問題。
男B：是的，我為此預留了約十天的緩衝時間。
選項：["它可能會擾亂當地的物流和場地進出。","這可能需要一些團隊成員志願參與。","它正在開發地點舉行。","這將延遲第三季的推出日期。"]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「它可能會擾亂當地的物流和場地進出。」。對話中提到「零組件採購可能延遲」以及「類似問題」，暗示外部因素會影響計畫進度，其中「零組件採購」（component sourcing）與「當地物流」（local logistics）密切相關。此外，若外圍活動影響「場地進出」（site access），也會直接衝擊計畫執行。
💡 應試技巧 — 在聽力時，注意關鍵字「sourcing」（採購）及其前後的干擾資訊，推測其可能引發的實際影響，例如物流受阻或交通管制，這通常是外部活動影響專案的直接原因。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 這可能需要一些團隊成員志願參與。 — 對話中沒有提到志願服務或團隊成員參與的任何需求。
X) 它正在開發地點舉行。 — 文章沒有提及該活動與開發地點的關聯性。
X) 這將延遲第三季的推出日期。 — 雖然有討論延遲的可能性，但文中並未確定這次的清理活動必然會造成第三季推出的延遲。
