TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Man: Hi Sarah, it’s Mark from Apex Solutions. I’m calling about our current contract, which is up for renewal next month.
Woman: Oh, hello Mark. Yes, I was expecting your call. We’ve been reviewing our vendor agreements.
Man: Great. We’re very pleased with the services your company has provided. We’d like to propose a two-year extension with a slight adjustment to the pricing structure based on increased support levels.
Woman: I see. Before we discuss pricing, we need to address the updated cybersecurity training requirements. Our internal audit highlighted a need for more comprehensive and regular training for all our partners, especially those handling sensitive data.
Man: That’s a valid point, Sarah. We’ve actually just enhanced our program, incorporating advanced modules on threat detection and incident response. We’d be happy to provide you with the updated curriculum and discuss how it meets your new standards.
Woman: Excellent. If your enhanced training program satisfies our compliance team, we can then proceed to finalize the contract terms. Can you send over the details by the end of the day?
Man: Absolutely. I’ll send that across immediately. Thanks for bringing up the cybersecurity aspect; it’s crucial for both our businesses.

女：哦，你好 Mark。是的，我預期你會打電話來。我們一直在審查我們的供應商協議。
男：太好了。我們對貴公司提供的服務非常滿意。我們希望能提出一份為期兩年的延期合約，並根據增加的支援層級，對定價結構進行微調。

選項：["供應商的績效評估","加強網路安全培訓的必要性","合約延期的細節","提出的價格調整"]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「加強網路安全培訓的必要性」。對話中，女士明確表示「在我們討論價格之前，我們需要處理更新的網路安全培訓要求」，這直接指出了她希望優先討論的事項。關鍵提示詞是「Before we discuss pricing, we need to address the updated cybersecurity training requirements」。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到表示順序或優先級的關鍵詞（如“before”、“first”、“after”、“need to address”）時，要特別注意接下來的內容，這通常是聽力考題的重點。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
A) 供應商的績效評估 — 對話中提到「我們對貴公司提供的服務非常滿意」，但這不是女士希望在討論價格前優先討論的主題。
C) 合約延期的細節 — 合約延期是整體情況，但女士特別指出了「價格」和「網路安全培訓」是她關注的點。
D) 提出的價格調整 — 這是男人提出的，但女士明確表示需要先討論其他事項，而不是直接進入價格討論。
