In this part, you will see four pictures. For each question, look at the picture and choose the best answer to the question you hear. Each question and its four choices will be spoken only once. They are NOT printed in your test book.本部分共 5 題。請看圖片,聽問題與四個選項,選出最適當的答案。問題與選項只播出一次,且不印在試題本上。
Picture A
1(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:B
What is the man doing?這位男子正在做什麼?
圖中男子坐在辦公桌前,雙手放在鍵盤上打字,正解就是 typing on a computer。桌上雖有一疊資料夾(file 檔案),但沒有人在歸檔;電話放在桌角無人使用。file 當動詞是「歸檔」,當名詞是「檔案、卷宗」,職場情境兩種用法都常考。
2(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:A
Which description best fits the picture?哪一項描述最符合這張圖?
Q4. Which floor should the woman go to if she wants to meet the company's executives?如果這位女子要見公司的高階主管,她應該去哪一層樓?
Picture D
5(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:B
What can we tell from the chart?從這張圖表中可以看出什麼?
圖中工程師 40 人、技術人員 20 人,正好是兩倍,正解就是 twice as many engineers as technicians。分析師 15 人少於技術人員 20 人,所以「分析師比技術人員多」錯;研究員 25 人不是最多,工程師才是,所以 largest group 那個選項錯;技術人員 20 人與分析師 15 人不相等,說兩者相同的也錯。圖表綜合題必須逐項驗算,不能只看印象。
Q5. What can we tell from the chart?從這張圖表中可以看出什麼?
第 2 部分問答Question Response
In this part, you will hear a question or a statement, followed by four responses. Choose the best response to what you hear. Everything is spoken only once and is NOT printed in your test book.本部分共 10 題。你會聽到一個問句或敘述,接著聽到四個回答,請選出最適當的回應。題目與選項只播出一次,且不印在試題本上。
6(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:C
How long have you been with this company?你在這家公司待多久了?
How long 問「一段時間」,用 since + 起點或 for + 期間回答,正解是「從我畢業算起,大約八年」。提到 administration building(行政大樓)的是地點、professional photographer(專業攝影師)是職業、twice a week 是頻率,都答非所問。
Q6. How long have you been with this company?你在這家公司待多久了?
7(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:B
Would it be acceptable if I sent the report tomorrow morning?如果我明天早上再把報告寄出,這樣可以嗎?
Q15. From what she said at the meeting, what can we infer about her plans?從她在會議上說的話,我們可以推論出她的什麼計畫?
第 3 部分簡短對話Short Conversations
In this part, you will hear a short conversation followed by one question. The conversation and the question are spoken only once. Choose the best answer from the four choices printed in your test book.本部分共 10 題。你會聽到一段簡短對話與一個問題,各播出一次。請從試題本上印出的四個選項中,選出最適當的答案。
16(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:A
Where is this conversation most likely taking place?這段對話最可能發生在哪裡?
M: I'm afraid our supervisor won't accept the report in this format.恐怕我們主管不會接受這種格式的報告。
W: Really? What's wrong with it?真的嗎?哪裡有問題?
M: She wants the figures in a separate file, not inside the text.她要數據獨立成一個檔案,而不是放在內文裡。
Q17. What does the woman need to do?這位女子需要做什麼?
18(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:A
What does the man say about his job?這位男子提到他的工作如何?
flexible 是「有彈性的」,改寫成正解選項的 can be adjusted(可以調整)。fixed hours(固定工時)與 flexible 的意思相反;男子明確說可以在家工作,所以「從來不被允許在家工作」錯;他只說要「準時完成」,沒說常加班。
W: Does your company let you work from home?你們公司允許在家工作嗎?
M: Yes. The hours are quite flexible, as long as we finish everything on time.可以。工時相當有彈性,只要能準時把事情做完就好。
W: Honestly, I'm a little jealous.老實說,我有點羨慕。
Q18. What does the man say about his job?這位男子提到他的工作如何?
19(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:C
What will the man probably do next?這位男子接下來可能會做什麼?
男子最後說要和陳小姐約時間(make an appointment),可知下一步是聯絡這位職涯顧問(adviser),正解就是聯絡陳小姐。他還在「詢問怎麼申請」的階段,尚未加入計畫。「接下來會做什麼」的答案幾乎都在對話最後一句。
M: Do you know who I should talk to about applying for the training program?你知道要申請那個訓練計畫該找誰嗎?
W: Try Ms. Chen. She's the career adviser for our department.去找陳小姐。她是我們部門的職涯顧問。
M: Great. I'll make an appointment with her this afternoon.太好了。我今天下午就跟她約時間。
Q19. What will the man probably do next?這位男子接下來可能會做什麼?
20(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:D
What can we tell from the conversation?從這段對話中可以知道什麼?
despite 是「儘管」,表示前後語意相反:雖然有技術問題,客戶卻印象極為深刻(tremendously 極大地),正解是「過程出了狀況,但結果仍然很好」。聽到 despite、although、in spite of 這類讓步連接詞時,重點永遠在後半句。
W: How did the presentation go this morning?今天早上的簡報進行得如何?
M: Despite all the technical problems, the client seemed tremendously impressed.儘管出了一堆技術問題,客戶似乎印象非常深刻。
W: That's a relief.那就放心了。
Q20. What can we tell from the conversation?從這段對話中可以知道什麼?
21(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:D
What does the woman suggest the man do?這位女子建議男子怎麼做?
女子提供的技巧(technique)是:把面試官的提問當作暗示(cue),藉機展現自己研究過這家公司,正解就是提問以展現有做準備。cue 是「暗示、提示」,take it as your cue to… 意思是「以此為信號去做某事」。
M: Any advice before my interview tomorrow?明天面試前有什麼建議嗎?
W: One simple technique. When they ask if you have any questions, take it as your cue to show that you've researched the company.有個簡單的技巧。當他們問你有沒有問題時,就把它當成暗示,展現你做過公司的功課。
M: That's really helpful. Thanks.這真的很有幫助,謝謝。

對話說下一位是應徵「技術支援」,對照表格,Technician(技術人員)一職的應徵者是 David Wu,正解就是他。午餐後的管理職(Supervisor 主管)是 Tom Kao,屬於另一位。圖表題要把聽到的職務名稱對回表格欄位。
M: Our next candidate is for the technical support team, right?下一位應徵者是應徵技術支援團隊的,對嗎?

答案:B
How do the employees feel about Mr. Yang?員工們對楊先生有什麼感覺?
look up to(敬重)與 admiration(欽佩)都指向同一種情緒,正解是「他們很敬佩他」。shopkeeper(店主)說明他的出身,staff(員工)指出場合,都不是題目要問的重點。
W: Everyone in the office really looks up to Mr. Yang.辦公室裡每個人都很敬重楊先生。
M: With good reason. He started out as a shopkeeper and now he runs the whole company.那是有道理的。他從一個店主起家,現在經營整間公司。

26(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:D
Why has the schedule been changed?議程為什麼有變動?
廣播明確指出原因是空調正在維修(the air conditioning is being repaired),正解就是大樓正在進行維修工程。其他三個選項都是合理但沒有被提到的猜測。
27(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:A
What are employees from the research sector told to do?研究部門的員工被要求做什麼?
W: Attention, all staff. The annual conference will be held next Thursday in the main hall. Because the building's air conditioning is being repaired that morning, the opening session will start one hour later than the time printed on your program. However, employees from the research sector should still report to Room 3 at nine as usual. Lunch will be provided in the cafeteria.全體員工請注意。年度研討會將於下週四在大禮堂舉行。由於當天上午大樓的空調正在維修,開幕場次將比議程上印的時間延後一小時開始。不過,研究部門的員工仍須照常於九點到第三會議室報到。午餐將在員工餐廳供應。
Q26. Why has the schedule been changed?議程為什麼有變動?
Q27. What are employees from the research sector told to do?研究部門的員工被要求做什麼?
28(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:C
Why is the man calling?這位男子為什麼打電話?
留言的核心是 we'd like to invite you to a second interview(想邀請你參加第二次面試),正解就是安排第二次面試。對方只是進入下一關,尚未錄取,所以不是提供工作;證照是面試時親自帶去,也不是郵寄。
29(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:A
What should the listener bring to the interview?聽者面試時應該帶什麼?
留言說 bring a copy of your file along with any certificates(帶一份資料與證照),正解就是這一項。file 在職場情境是「檔案、個人資料」。照片與推薦信都沒有被提到。
M: Hello, this is Daniel Foster calling from the Weston Bureau of Personnel. I'm calling about your application for the technician position. We were impressed with your background, and we'd like to invite you to a second interview this Friday at two in the afternoon. Please bring a copy of your file along with any certificates you mentioned. If that time is not acceptable, please call me back before Wednesday.您好,我是韋斯頓人事局的 Daniel Foster。我來電是關於您應徵技術人員一職的申請。我們對您的背景印象深刻,想邀請您參加本週五下午兩點的第二次面試。請攜帶一份您的資料,以及您提到的任何證照。如果這個時間不方便,請於週三前回電給我。

Q29. What should the listener bring to the interview?聽者面試時應該帶什麼?
How did Mr. Huang begin his career at this company?黃先生在這家公司是從什麼職位開始的?
He joined us as a junior technician(他以資淺技術人員的身分加入),正解就是資淺技術人員。executive(高階主管)是他後來晉升到的職位,不是起點——這種「起點 vs 終點」的對比是談話題最愛設的陷阱。
32(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:B
What is mentioned as his greatest achievement?談話中提到他最大的成就是什麼?
His greatest achievement was building our overseas sector from nothing(他最大的成就是從零建立海外部門),正解就是建立海外部門。他確實會指導年輕同仁,但談話並未說那是他「最大的成就」,「訓練了整整一代的主管」是很容易誤選的干擾項。
W: Before we begin tonight's dinner, I'd like to say a few words about Mr. Huang. After thirty-five years with this company, he will retire at the end of the month. He joined us as a junior technician and rose all the way to become an executive. His greatest achievement was building our overseas sector from nothing. Despite his busy schedule, he always found time to advise younger staff. We will miss him tremendously.在今晚的晚宴開始之前,我想說幾句關於黃先生的話。在這家公司服務三十五年之後,他將於本月底退休。他從一名資淺技術人員做起,一路晉升到高階主管。他最大的成就是從零建立起我們的海外部門。儘管行程繁忙,他總是抽得出時間指導年輕同仁。我們會非常想念他。

Q31. How did Mr. Huang begin his career at this company?黃先生在這家公司是從什麼職位開始的?

35(題目由錄音播出,作答時請用聽的)
答案:D
When do applications close?申請什麼時候截止?
談話說 Applications close on the thirtieth(三十日截止),正解是本月三十日。thirteen(十三)與 thirty(三十)的重音位置不同——thirTEEN 重音在後、THIRty 重音在前,這是聽力測驗最經典的數字陷阱。
