TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目

段落

Good morning, everyone. I'm pleased to announce our company's third-quarter earnings report. We've seen significant growth this quarter, largely driven by strong sales in our emerging markets division and the successful launch of our new eco-friendly product line. Total revenue reached $150 million, a 15% increase from the same period last year. Net profit also rose by 10%. These results reflect the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We anticipate this positive momentum will continue into the fourth quarter as we expand our operations in Southeast Asia. We are particularly excited about the upcoming partnerships that will further solidify our market position. We'll now open the floor for questions regarding these figures.

題目

What contributed to the company's growth this quarter?

選項

  1. A. Increased sales in new global regions and a successful product introduction. ✓
  2. B. Reduced operational costs and staff efficiencies.
  3. C. Acquisition of a smaller competitor.
  4. D. Government grants and tax incentives.

正確答案

A. Increased sales in new global regions and a successful product introduction.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位早安。很高興向大家宣布我們公司第三季的財報。本季我們見證了顯著的成長，這主要歸功於我們新興市場部門的強勁銷售以及我們新款環保產品線的成功推出。總收入達到 1.5 億美元，比去年同期成長了 15%。淨利潤也上漲了 10%。這些成果反映了我們整個團隊的辛勤工作與貢獻。我們預計隨著我們在東南亞擴大業務，這股積極勢頭將持續到第四季。
📝 答案解析 — 選項 A 是正確答案，因為文中明確提到「largely driven by strong sales in our emerging markets division」（主要由我們新興市場部門的強勁銷售帶動）和「the successful launch of our new eco-friendly product line」（我們新款環保產品線的成功推出）。這兩點直接對應了選項 A 中「Increased sales in new global regions and a successful product introduction.」（新區域銷售增加與成功的產品發表）。
💡 應試技巧 — 在聽 Part 4 的時候，積極尋找原文中的關鍵動詞和名詞，它們通常是造成某種結果（如成長、下降）的原因。例如，本題中的 "driven by" 和 "successful launch" 就是指的原因。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) Reduced operational costs and staff efficiencies. — 文章中沒有提到營運成本降低或員工效率提升。
X) Acquisition of a smaller competitor. — 文章中沒有提到收購任何競爭對手。
X) Government grants and tax incentives. — 文章中沒有提到政府補助或稅務優惠。
