TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman 1: We're getting closer to the holiday party date, but a few things are still up in the air. Have you finalized the catering numbers?
Man: Almost. I've been wrestling with the budget spreadsheet all morning, trying to reconcile the projected costs with our actual spending. I could use another pair of eyes on it.
Woman 1: I can help with that after I follow up on the venue confirmation. Did you manage to get those new decorations approved?
Man: Yes, the committee signed off yesterday. Speaking of approvals, I also need to get the final guest count to the caterer by Friday. We're still waiting on a few RSVPs, especially from the international team. Their email system is a bit tricky, almost as cumbersome as trying to get a library membership renewal sorted during peak hours.
Woman 2: Oh, I can chase those RSVPs! I have their contact list. And I can help with the budget spreadsheet too, if you like. I'm quite good at spotting discrepancies.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 我們離假日派對的日期越來越近了,但還有幾件事懸而未決。妳已經確定餐飲的數量了嗎?
男: 差不多了。我整個早上都在研究預算試算表,試圖調和預計成本與實際支出。我需要你幫我再看一下。
女1: 我在跟進場地確認後可以幫忙。妳們有設法批准那些新裝飾品了嗎?
男: 是的,委員會昨天已經簽字通過了。說到批准,我週五前也需要將最後的賓客總數給餐飲業者。我們還在等
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「跟進場地的確認」。對話中,女1明確說道:「我在跟進場地確認後可以幫忙。」這句話直接提到了她接下來的行動是關於場地確認的事務。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到關鍵動詞(如:follow up, confirm, finalize, book)與名詞(venue, catering, decorations, guest count)的組合,預測接下來的行動或已完成的事務。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 預訂它以供首次使用 — 文章中沒有提到首次預訂,只說了「場地確認」。
X) 確定餐飲的數量 — 這是男士正在處理的事情,女1表示要在他之後再幫忙。
X) 批准新裝飾品 — 這個項目已經獲得批准,不是女1接下來要做的。
