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.

題目

What is the main purpose of the meeting?

選項

  1. A. To discuss the upcoming neighborhood cleanup event
  2. B. To finalize the project timeline ✓
  3. C. To assign tasks for the new product launch
  4. D. To review the previous quarter's performance

正確答案

B. To finalize the project timeline

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 大家好，謝謝各位的蒞臨。我們開始吧。今天的主要目標是確定「大都會計畫」(Metropolis project) 的時間表。我們目前預計在第三季推出，但我們需要確定關鍵的里程碑。
男士 B：我同意。我根據上次的討論草擬了一份初步時程。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磁碟機裡。
女士 A：太好了。您是否有考量到零件採購可能延誤的潛在因素？我們去年在週邊設備上也有類似的問題。
男士 B：是的，我為此預留了大約十天的緩衝時間。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「B) To finalize the project timeline」。對話一開始，女士 A 就明確表示「The primary goal today is to lock down the timeline for the Metropolis project」，意即今天的首要目標就是確定該計畫的時間表。隨後男士 B 提及已「drafted a preliminary schedule」，進一步印證了討論的重點是時間表的確定。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到開頭關鍵句（如 "The primary goal is...", "The purpose of this meeting is..."）時，務必特別留意，這通常直接點明了對話的核心目的。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
A) To discuss the upcoming neighborhood cleanup event — 對話中並未提及任何與社區清潔活動相關的內容。
C) To assign tasks for the new product launch — 雖然提到了計畫和時間表，但重點在於「時間表」，而非具體的任務分配。
D) To review the previous quarter's performance — 對話討論的是未來的計畫（Metropolis project）和其時間表，而不是過去的績效。
