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.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 —
女A：謝謝大家過來，我們開始吧。今天的主要目標是確定「大都會計畫」的時間表。我們目前預計第三季推出，但需要確定關鍵的里程碑。
男B：我同意。根據我們上次的討論，我已經草擬了一份初步的時間表。它概述了設計階段、開發和測試。我已將一份副本放在共用磁碟機裡。
女A：太好了。您是否考慮了元件採購潛在的延遲？去年我們在周邊設備上遇到過類似的問題。
男B：是的，我預留了大約十天的緩衝時間。
📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是「A preliminary schedule」。男B在對話中明確說道：「I've drafted a preliminary schedule based on our last discussion.」（我已經草擬了一份初步的時間表）。這直接對應了選項A。關鍵在於聆聽發言者B的完整陳述，特別是關於他所準備的文件。
💡 應試技巧 —
當題目詢問「說了什麼」時，務必鎖定關鍵動詞（如：drafted, prepared, made）和其直接的受詞，這通常是答案的直接線索。不要被後續的細節（如：included a buffer）所迷惑。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
B) A report on component sourcing — 這不是男B明確說他草擬的內容，雖然提到了元件採購，但不是他製作的文件主題。
C) A plan for the cleanup event — 對話中完全沒有提及任何與清潔活動相關的計畫。
D) A list of potential delays — 男B提到「potential delays with the component sourcing」，但他並非草擬了「潛在延遲的列表」，而是將其納入到時間表中。
