TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman: Hi Mark, thanks for taking my call. I wanted to touch base about the Q3 product launch.
Man: Of course, Sarah. I've been reviewing the latest timeline. It looks like we're slightly behind on the promotional materials.
Woman: I noticed that too. The design team is working on the final graphics, but they're waiting on the finalized specifications from engineering, which were delayed slightly.
Man: Right. And we need those specs to confirm the key messaging for the press release. What's the earliest we can expect them?
Woman: I've just spoken with David. He anticipates having them by end of day tomorrow. That means we'll need to adjust the content creation schedule.
Man: Okay, let's aim to reconvene on Friday morning to review the updated schedule and confirm the press release draft. Also, have you managed to book your annual health checkup appointment yet? It's important to stay on top of these things.
Woman: Oh, thanks for the reminder! I completely forgot. I'll book it right after this call. Friday morning works for me to discuss the schedule.

📖 文章翻譯 —
女：你好馬克，謝謝你接我電話。我想跟你談談第三季產品上市的進度。
男：當然，莎拉。我一直在審閱最新的時間表。看起來我們在宣傳材料方面有點落後。
女：我也有注意到。設計團隊正在製作最後的圖形，但他們在等待工程部門提供的最終規格，而這些規格有點延遲了。
男：對。我們需要那些規格來確認新聞稿的關鍵訊息。我們最早什麼時候能收到？
女：我剛跟大衛談過。他預計會在週末前提交。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是 "Book her health checkup appointment"（預約她的健康檢查）。對話中提到了 "emailing David"（寄信給大衛）來確認工程規格，但這與預約健康檢查無關。選項中沒有一個直接提到與對話內容相關的「忘記做的事」。這題測驗的是考生能否從對話細節外推，並理解「touch base」在此情境下是為了確認進度，而非執行某項預定事項。考生需要判斷對話內容並非指向任何一個選項，推測可能有其他未提及的「忘記做的事」。
💡 應試技巧 — 仔細聆聽對話中提及的所有行動或任務，即使它們看起來不完全符合選項。注意潛藏的語氣和弦外之音，推測講者可能遺漏了什麼，特別是在時間緊迫或任務眾多的情境。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
0) Send the engineering specifications — 這項任務是莎拉正在進行或協調的，不是她忘記做的。
2) Approve the final graphics — 雖然提到了圖形，但莎拉並未表示她需要批准，且她正等待工程規格。
3) Schedule Friday's meeting — 對話中完全沒有提及任何關於星期五會議的安排。
