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.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 —
女:嗨 Mark,謝謝你接我電話。我想跟你談談第三季產品發布的事。
男:當然,Sarah。我一直在看最新的時程表。看來我們在宣傳品方面有點落後。
女:我也有注意到。設計團隊正在製作最後的圖稿,但他們在等工程部門提供的最終規格,但這規格有點延遲了。
男:對。而且我們需要那些規格來確認新聞稿的關鍵訊息。最早什麼時候可以收到?
女:我剛跟 David 談過。他預計在下班前收到。
A) 最終產品設計 — 該對話未提及。
B) 預算分配 — 該對話未提及。
C) 更新後的時程表與新聞稿 — 該對話有提到。
D) 工程團隊的可用性 — 該對話未提及。
📝 答案解析 — 選項 C 是正確的,因為對話中男性說「我們需要那些規格來確認關鍵訊息 for the press release」(新聞稿),女性則從 David 那裡得知規格預計「by end of day」(下班前)。這兩者結合起來,暗示了週五早上需要確認的是與新聞稿相關的更新資訊。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到關鍵字「press release」和「confirm」時,就要特別注意。這通常表示後續內容將會是需要確認的事項,特別是和時程、內容有關的部分。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
A) 最終產品設計 — 對話中未提及產品的最終設計細節。
B) 預算分配 — 對話中完全沒有提到預算相關的內容。
D) 工程團隊的可用性 — 對話中雖然提到了工程部門,但重點是他們提供的「規格」,而不是團隊成員的「可用性」。
