TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Man: Hi Sarah, it's John from Alpha Supplies. I wanted to talk about our current contract.
Woman: Oh, hi John. Sure, what's on your mind?
Man: We've supplied you with cleaning products for five years now, and we've always valued our relationship. However, we've had some significant cost increases recently.
Woman: I understand that costs can go up. What are you proposing?
Man: We need to adjust the pricing on several items. I have the new price list here. I was hoping we could review it together, perhaps over a quick video call next week?
Woman: Hmm, okay. Before we do that, could you send me the list? I also wanted to ask if there are any updates regarding the cafeteria menu change we discussed last month. The current options are a bit limited.
Man: I haven't heard anything new about the cafeteria, sorry. But I'll send over the price list right away. Let's schedule that call for Tuesday?

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 男: 嗨 Sarah，我是 John，來自 Alpha Supplies。我想談談我們目前的合約。女: 哦，嗨 John。當然，有什麼事？男: 我們已經供應你們清潔用品五年了，我們一直很重視我們的合作關係。然而，我們最近的成本顯著增加。女: 我明白成本會上升。你們有什麼提議？男: 我們需要調整幾項的價格。我這裡有新的價目表。我希望能一起審閱，也許下週透過一個快速的視訊通話？女: 嗯，好的。在那之前，您能否寄給我...
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「D) 安排會議討論價格」。對話中，男子明確提到「我們需要調整幾項的價格」，並表示「我希望能一起審閱，也許下週透過一個快速的視訊通話？」，這直接指向了安排一次會議來討論價格調整的議題。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到表示「提議 (proposing)」、「討論 (discuss)」、「計畫 (plan)」以及與「價格 (pricing)」、「合約 (contract)」相關的關鍵字時，即使尚未確定會議細節，也要快速鎖定目的為安排會議來解決問題的選項。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 討論新的供應商合約 — 題目中提到的是「目前的合約 (current contract)」，而非新的供應商合約。
X) 抱怨貨物延遲 — 對話中完全沒有提及任何關於送貨延遲或抱怨的內容。
X) 詢問餐廳菜單 — 這是與工作無關的內容，對話主題是關於公司業務合約與價格。
