TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目

段落

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. We are delighted to share our financial performance for the third quarter. Our revenue reached a record high of $500 million, a 15% increase from the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by strong sales in our technology division and successful market penetration in Asia. Net profit also saw a significant boost, rising to $75 million. We attribute this success to the dedication of our employees and our unwavering commitment to innovation. We anticipate this positive momentum will continue into the final quarter. We're also announcing a new initiative to streamline our supply chain, which we expect will yield even greater efficiencies next year. We'll now open the floor for questions.

  4. D. Successful acquisition of a competing firm

正確答案

A. Improved sales in the technology sector and Asian market expansion

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位早安，感謝各位今天的參與。我們很高興與大家分享第三季度的財務表現。我們的營收達到了創紀錄的五億美元，比去年同期增長了15%。此增長主要得益於科技部門的強勁銷售以及我們在亞洲市場成功拓展。淨利潤也大幅提升，達到七千五百萬美元。我們將此成功歸功於員工的奉獻以及我們對創新的堅定承諾。我們預期這股積極勢頭將延續到第四季度。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「Improved sales in the technology sector and Asian market expansion」。文中明確提到「This growth was primarily driven by strong sales in our technology division and successful market penetration in Asia」，這直接對應了選項中的「科技部門的強勁銷售」和「亞洲市場成功拓展」。因此，這是公司營收增加的主要原因。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到關鍵詞「revenue」和「increase/growth」時，要特別留意解釋增長原因的連接詞，如「driven by」、「due to」、「thanks to」，並快速掃描選項中與之匹配的部分。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) Reduced operating costs and strategic partnerships — 文章沒有提到營運成本降低或策略夥伴關係。
X) Diversification into new product lines — 文章沒有提及開發新產品線。
X) Successful acquisition of a competing firm — 文章沒有提及收購競爭對手。
