TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Sarah: Thanks for coming, everyone. Let's get straight to it. The main goal today is to firm up the timeline for the 'Phoenix' project launch.
John: Right. I've drafted a preliminary schedule based on our last discussion. We're looking at a potential launch in early Q3.
Maria: Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John. Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign.
Sarah: Maria has a point. We need to factor that in. John, can you adjust the schedule to reflect that? Perhaps pushing the development completion date back slightly?
John: I can try. It might impact the initial resource allocation, though. I'll need to review that section.
Maria: While we're discussing schedules, I also need to book my annual health checkup appointment. Does anyone know if Dr. Evans's office has openings next Friday afternoon?
Sarah: I'm not sure about Dr. Evans, but my clinic has some slots available. I can send you the details if you're interested. We should probably finish this project discussion first, though.
John: Agreed. Let's focus here. I'll rework the schedule and circulate it by end of day. We can address any further concerns in our follow-up meeting.

選項

  1. A. It doesn't account for marketing campaign duration. ✓
  2. B. It doesn't allow enough time for development.
  3. C. It conflicts with other project deadlines.
  4. D. It hasn't been approved by management.

正確答案

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — Sarah：謝謝大家今天來。我們直接開始。今天的主要目標是確定「Phoenix」專案發布的最終時間表。John：好的。我根據上次的討論草擬了一份初步日程。我們預計在第三季初發布。Maria：第三季？John，這看起來有點趕。行銷活動在開發完成後還需要至少六週的時間來準備。Sarah：Maria 說得對。我們必須將這一點考慮進去。John，你能否調整日程以反映這一點？也許將開發完成日期稍微往後推？John：我試試看。這可能會影響最初的...
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「它沒有考慮到行銷活動的持續時間」。Maria 明確表示：「行銷需要至少六週的時間來準備活動」，並且認為 Q3 的發布時間「有點趕」，這直接表明了時間表的問題在於未能涵蓋行銷所需的時間。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到表示不確定或質疑語氣的詞語（如 "seems a bit aggressive", "has a point", "Can you adjust...?"），要特別留意說話者提出質疑的原因，這通常是答案的關鍵線索。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 它沒有為開發提供足夠的時間 —原文並未提及開發時間不足，而是行銷時間不足。 X) 它與其他專案的截止日期衝突 — 文章中沒有提及與其他專案的衝突。 X) 管理層尚未批准 — 文章中沒有提到任何關於管理層批准的資訊。
