TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Sarah: Thanks for coming, everyone. Let's get straight to it. The main goal today is to firm up the timeline for the 'Phoenix' project launch.
John: Right. I've drafted a preliminary schedule based on our last discussion. We're looking at a potential launch in early Q3.
Maria: Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John. Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign.
Sarah: Maria has a point. We need to factor that in. John, can you adjust the schedule to reflect that? Perhaps pushing the development completion date back slightly?
John: I can try. It might impact the initial resource allocation, though. I'll need to review that section.
Maria: While we're discussing schedules, I also need to book my annual health checkup appointment. Does anyone know if Dr. Evans's office has openings next Friday afternoon?
Sarah: I'm not sure about Dr. Evans, but my clinic has some slots available. I can send you the details if you're interested. We should probably finish this project discussion first, though.
John: Agreed. Let's focus here. I'll rework the schedule and circulate it by end of day. We can address any further concerns in our follow-up meeting.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — Sarah：謝謝大家前來。我們言歸正傳。今天的主要目標是確定「Phoenix」專案啟動的時程。John：沒錯。我根據上次的討論起草了一份初步時程。我們預計在第三季初發布。Maria：第三季？John，這似乎有點太急了。行銷部門在開發完成後，至少還需要六週的時間來進行行銷活動。Sarah：Maria說的有道理。我們需要將這一點納入考慮。John，你能調整時程以反映這一點嗎？或許稍微延後開發完成日期？John：我可以試試。這可能會影響最初的...
Options: ["行銷活動可能會延遲。","資源分配可能會受到影響。","發布日期將移至第四季。","Evans 醫師的診所可能會有空檔。"]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「資源分配可能會受到影響」。John 提到，調整時程「可能會影響最初的...」（It might impact the initial r...），這暗示著任何時間的調整都可能牽動到專案的其他層面。Maria 提到的「行銷活動」是具體的影響，但 John 的回答更籠統，指向整個專案的資源（人力、預算、物料等）分配。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽取對話時，注意說話者（尤其是提出變動的人）對於變動可能造成的「影響」的描述。即使影響未被完全說出，聽到「might impact」、「could affect」、「potentially lead to」等詞語，就要聯想到更廣泛的資源問題。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 行銷活動可能會延遲 — 雖然 Maria 提到了行銷需要額外時間，這確實是可能發生的延遲，但 John 的回應更傾向指出整體專案的潛在影響，而不僅僅是行銷。X) 發布日期將移至第四季 — 對話中並未明確提到發布日期會具體移至第四季，John 只說「可能會影響」。X) Dr. Evans's office may have openings — 對話內容完全未提及 Dr. Evans 或任何診所相關事宜。
