TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目

段落

Good morning, everyone. This is the quarterly earnings call for TechSolutions Inc. I’m Sarah Chen, the CFO. We’re pleased to report strong financial results for the third quarter ending September 30th. Revenue increased by 15% year-over-year, reaching $50 million. Net income grew by 10% to $5 million. These results were driven by higher sales in our software division and successful cost-control measures across the company. Looking ahead, we anticipate continued growth in the fourth quarter, though we are also managing some unexpected expenses related to our upcoming office renovation. We expect the renovation to improve our workspace efficiency and employee well-being. Further details on the renovation timeline will be shared next week. Thank you. We will now open the floor for questions.

  3. C. Sales decreased in the software division.
  4. D. Cost control measures were unsuccessful.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位早安。這裡是 TechSolutions 公司第三季的業績電話會議。我是財務長 Sarah Chen。我們很高興地報告截至九月三十日的第三季財務表現強勁。本季營收年增 15%，達到 5000 萬美元。淨利成長 10%，達到 500 萬美元。這些成果歸因於軟體部門銷售額的提升，以及公司整體成功的成本控制措施。展望未來，我們預期第四季將持續成長，但同時我們也在管理與即將進行的辦公室翻修相關的一些意外支出。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「公司報告了強勁的財務業績」。文章開頭 CFO 明確表示「We’re pleased to report strong financial results for the third quarter」，並且提供了營收和淨利都呈現成長的具體數據（成長 15% 和 10%），這直接支持了此選項。
💡 應試技巧 — 當題目問到演講者的整體表現或主要訊息時，務必注意開頭幾句話，通常會直接點明主題或結論。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 公司出現虧損 — 這是錯誤的，因為文章明確指出營收和淨利都顯著成長。
X) 軟體部門銷售額下降 — 這與文章內容「higher sales in our software division」相悖。
X) 成本控制措施不成功 — 這與文章內容「successful cost-control measures」相反。
