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.

正確答案
A. By the end of the day tomorrow
解析
📖 文章翻譯 —
女：哈囉 Mark，謝謝你接電話。我想跟你確認一下第三季的產品發布計畫。
男：當然，Sarah。我正在審閱最新的時程表。看來我們在促銷材料部分有點落後。
女：我也有注意到。設計團隊正在製作最終的圖稿，但他們還在等工程部門的最終規格，而規格有點延遲。
男：沒錯。而且我們需要那些規格來確認新聞稿的主要訊息。我們最早什麼時候可以拿到？
女：我剛跟 David 通完電話。他預計今天稍晚可以提供。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「By the end of the day tomorrow」。對話中，女性說：「He anticipates having them by end o」，雖然話沒說完，但根據常理推斷，並且加上時間點的提示（art of the day tomorrow），可知規格將於明天結束前提供。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽取對話時，務必捕捉時間相關的關鍵字詞，即使對話未完整結束，也能推斷出潛在的時間點。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) By Friday morning — 對話中未提及星期五。
X) By the end of this week — 對話中未明確指出是「本週」，僅提及「今天稍晚」。
X) As soon as possible — 雖然規格延遲，但對話中提供了預計的提供時間，並非「盡快」。
