TOEIC 閱讀 Part 7 — 題目

段落

Sender: Hey team, can we find time to sync up on the Q3 marketing strategy this week? I'm thinking Thursday afternoon might work.
Michael: Hi Sarah, Thursday afternoon is tricky for me. I have a dentist appointment that I can't reschedule. How about Friday morning instead?
Sarah: Friday morning could work. Let's aim for 10 AM. Janice, are you free then?
Janice: Yes, Friday at 10 AM is perfect. I've also been meaning to book my annual health checkup appointment, so maybe I can do that after our meeting. Thanks for suggesting!
Michael: Great, Friday 10 AM it is. I'll send out a calendar invite.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 寄件人:嗨,團隊,這星期我們能否找時間同步一下第三季的行銷策略?我認為週四下午或許可行。
麥可:嗨,莎拉,週四下午對我來說有點困難。我有一個無法重新安排的牙醫預約。要不要改週五早上?
莎拉:週五早上或許可行。我們就訂早上 10 點吧。珍妮絲,妳那時候有空嗎?
珍妮絲:是的,週五早上 10 點完美。我本來也打算預約我的年度健康檢查,也許我們開會後可以去做。謝謝妳提議!
麥可:太好了,那就週五早上 10 點。我會發送行事曆邀請。

Which of the following is NOT explicitly mentioned as a reason for rescheduling?
A dentist appointment
A conflict with another meeting
An upcoming health checkup
General scheduling difficulties

📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是 (1) 與其他會議的衝突。文中明確提到了麥可因牙醫預約(A dentist appointment)而無法參加週四下午的會議,珍妮絲也提到她會在會議後預約健康檢查(An upcoming health checkup)。這些都是具體說明無法參加會議的原因,而非含糊的「一般排程困難」(General scheduling difficulties)。選項 (1) 中的「與其他會議的衝突」並無任何提及,因此是未明確說明的改期原因。

💡 應試技巧 — 尋找「排除法」的題目時,務必仔細閱讀所有細節,特別留意所有提到的原因,任何未提及的選項都是潛在的正確答案。

📊 錯誤選項分析 — A) 牙醫預約 — 麥可明確提到他有個牙醫預約無法更改,這是改期的原因之一。C) 即將到來的健康檢查 — 珍妮絲表示她打算在會議後進行年度健康檢查,這暗示了時間上的考量,是改期的一種間接說明。D) 一般排程困難 — 雖然文章並未出現此確切詞語,但「Thursday afternoon is tricky for me」(週四下午對我來說有點困難)實際上包含了排程困難的語意,是為籠統描述。B) 與其他會議的衝突 — 文章中沒有任何地方提及有其他會議,因此這不是改期的原因。
