W: Are you planning to sign up for the business proposal writing workshop next Tuesday? M: I'd love to, but my desk is piled high with the quarterly financial reports. I don't think I can spare four hours. W: Actually, the organizer mentioned they are offering a hybrid format. You can attend the morning session in person and watch the recorded afternoon session later. M: Really? That would make a big difference. But does our department head need to approve the registration fee? W: Yes, but since it's directly related to our current project, she’s already pre-approved the budget for anyone in our team who wants to go. M: That's fantastic. I'll register right away then. Do you know who the main speaker is? W: It's Dr. Aris Thorne. He wrote that best-selling book on corporate communication we read last year. M: Oh, his insights were incredibly practical. I definitely can't miss this now. [Q11] What was the man's initial concern about attending the workshop?

中文翻譯

女：你打算報名下週二的商業企劃書撰寫工作坊嗎？ 男：我很想去，但我桌上堆滿了季度財務報告，我想我抽不出四個小時的時間。 女：其實主辦單位提到他們有提供混合模式。你可以親自參加早上的實體課程，之後再看下午課程的錄影。 男：真的嗎？那差別很大。但我們的部門主管需要批准報名費嗎？ 女：要，但因為這與我們目前的專案直接相關，她已經為我們團隊中任何想參加的人預先核准了預算。 男：太棒了。那我馬上報名。妳知道主講人是誰嗎？ 女：是 Aris Thorne 博士。他寫了我們去年讀過的那本關於企業溝通的暢銷書。 男：喔，他的見解非常實用。那我現在絕對不能錯過了。

M: I was looking at this eco-lodge in Costa Rica for our summer trip. It runs entirely on solar power and offers guided nature walks. W: It sounds lovely, but isn't the flight there incredibly long and expensive for a family of four? M: It is a bit of a trek, but they have a special family package this month that includes all meals and excursions. W: That helps with the budget, but what about the kids? Our ten-year-old might get bored just looking at trees all day. M: They actually have a junior biologist program where kids can help track wildlife and do water testing in the creek. W: Now that actually sounds engaging. It beats having them stare at their tablets the whole week. M: Exactly. Plus, the lodge supports the local community by hiring only local residents as guides. W: Alright, you've sold me on the concept. Let's check if our vacation dates are available. [Q13] What is the woman's primary initial reservation about the proposed trip?

中文翻譯

男：我剛才在看哥斯大黎加的一間生態旅館，想說暑假旅行可以去。它完全依靠太陽能發電，還有提供專人導覽的自然步道行程。 女：聽起來很棒，但一家四口坐飛機過去，航程不是特別長而且費用很貴嗎？ 男：路途確實有點遠，但他們這個月有推出特別的家庭套裝行程，費用已經包含所有餐點和活動了。 女：這對預算確實有幫助，但孩子們怎麼辦？我們十歲的孩子整天只看樹可能會覺得很無聊。 男：其實他們有一個「小小生物學家」活動，可以讓小朋友幫忙追蹤野生動物，並在小溪裡進行水質檢測。 女：這聽起來確實挺有趣的，總比讓他們整整一星期都盯著平板電腦好。 男：沒錯。而且，這家旅館只聘用當地居民擔任導覽員，以此來支持在地社群。 女：好吧，你說服我了。我們來確認一下休假日期能不能配合。

W: I'm trying to decide between Advanced Probability and Introduction to Data Science for my elective next semester. M: Well, both are solid, but what are your career goals after graduation? W: I want to work in market research, analyzing consumer trends. M: In that case, Data Science is a no-brainer. It focuses heavily on practical coding and data visualization, which employers look for. W: But I heard the programming requirement is quite steep, and I've only taken one introductory Python class. M: Don't worry. The professor starts with the basics of data libraries. Plus, there are weekly lab sessions with teaching assistants to help you troubleshoot. W: That's reassuring. I was afraid I'd fall behind in the first week. M: Just make sure to register early. That class usually fills up within the first hour of registration. [Q15] Why does the man recommend the Data Science course?

中文翻譯

女：我正在猶豫下學期的選修課要選「高等機率」還是「資料科學導論」。 男：嗯，這兩門課都很扎實，但妳畢業後的職涯目標是什麼？ 女：我想從事市場研究，分析消費者趨勢。 男：那樣的話，選資料科學就毫無疑問了。這門課著重於實作程式撰寫和資料視覺化，這正是雇主所看重的。 女：但我聽說這門課對程式能力的門檻蠻高的，而我只上過一堂 Python 入門課。 男：別擔心，教授會從最基礎的資料函式庫開始教。此外，每週還有助教主持的實習課可以幫妳解決程式問題。 女：那我就放心了。我本來還擔心第一週就會跟不上。 男：記得要早點選課。這門課通常在選課開始的第一個小時內就會額滿。

M: Hi, Ms. Vance. I'm calling about our booking for the Grand Ballroom this Thursday. Our RSVP count just jumped by fifty people. W: Oh, congratulations on the high turnout! However, the Grand Ballroom has a strict maximum capacity of two hundred due to fire safety regulations. M: That's what I was afraid of. We are currently at two hundred and thirty. Is there any way we can upgrade to the exhibition hall? W: Let me check our schedule... Unfortunately, the exhibition hall is booked for a trade show all week. But we do have the outdoor pavilion available. M: The pavilion is beautiful, but isn't there a high chance of afternoon showers this Thursday? W: Actually, the pavilion has a fully retractable glass roof and side panels, so your guests will stay dry regardless of the weather. M: That sounds perfect! It would actually be a much more memorable setting than a standard ballroom. W: Great. I'll send over the adjusted contract with the pricing for the pavilion. It's actually slightly cheaper. [Q17] Why can the organizers no longer use the Grand Ballroom?

男：哈囉，凡斯女士。我打來是想確認我們這週四預訂大宴會廳的事。我們收到回覆的參加人數剛剛突然增加了五十人。 女：哇，祝賀你們出席率這麼高！然而，基於消防安全法規，大宴會廳有兩百人的嚴格人數上限。 男：這正是我所擔心的。我們目前的人數是兩百三十人。有辦法幫我們升級到展覽廳嗎？ 女：我查一下日程表……很遺憾，展覽廳整週都被預訂用來辦商展了。不過我們還有戶外展亭可以使用。 男：那間展亭很漂亮，但這週四下午降雨的機率不是很高嗎？ 女：實際上，該展亭配有全伸縮式玻璃屋頂與側板，所以不論天氣如何，您的賓客都不會淋濕。 男：這聽起來太棒了！這其實會比一般的宴會廳更令人難忘。 女：太好了。我會把修改後的合約連同展亭的報價寄給您。它的費用其實還稍微便宜一點。

W: Excuse me, I'm looking at this smart refrigerator, but I'm wondering if the touch screen on the door is actually useful or just a gimmick. M: Many customers find it very convenient. It connects to your home Wi-Fi, allowing you to view your calendar, stream music, and even see inside the fridge via built-in cameras while you're at the grocery store. W: Seeing inside the fridge from the store does sound useful. I always forget if we need milk. But what about software updates? Will the screen become obsolete in a few years? M: The manufacturer guarantees security patches and software updates for ten years. Plus, the core cooling system has a fifteen-year warranty. W: That's reassuring. My current fridge is ten years old and starting to make a loud buzzing noise. M: That noise usually means the compressor is failing. Upgrading to this energy-efficient model would likely save you about twenty percent on your electricity bill. W: That would certainly help offset the high upfront cost. Do you offer free delivery and installation? M: Yes, we do, and we'll also haul away your old appliance at no extra charge. [Q19] What was the woman's main worry regarding the refrigerator's smart screen?

中文翻譯

女：不好意思，我正在看這台智慧冰箱，但我想知道門上的觸控螢幕到底實不實用，還是只是個噱頭？ 男：許多顧客都覺得它非常方便。它可以連接您家中的 Wi-Fi，讓您查看行事曆、串流音樂，甚至在超市買東西時，還能透過內建的鏡頭查看冰箱內部。 女：在超市就能看到冰箱內部聽起來確實很實用。我總是忘記家裡需不需要買牛奶。但軟體更新怎麼辦？這個螢幕會在幾年後就過時嗎？ 男：製造商保證提供十年的安全修補程式與軟體更新。此外，核心冷卻系統有十五年的保固。 女：那我就放心了。我現在用的冰箱已經十年了，開始發出很大的運轉雜音。 男：那個噪音通常意味著壓縮機快故障了。換成這款省電機種，大概可以幫您省下大約百分之二十的電費。 女：那確實能幫忙折抵高昂的初期購買成本。請問你們有提供免費運送和安裝嗎？ 男：有的，我們有提供，而且還會免費幫您清運舊家電。

M: Hi Sarah, I saw your post on the community board about starting a neighborhood garden. I'd love to get involved. W: That's wonderful, Mark! We really need more volunteers. Currently, we are trying to get permission from the city council to use the vacant lot on Elm Street. M: That lot has been empty for years. It's just collecting weeds. It would be perfect for vegetables. W: Exactly. The council is worried about soil quality, though. They want us to conduct a soil test for contaminants before they grant the permit. M: My brother works at an environmental lab. I can ask him if he can run the tests for us at a discounted rate, or maybe even for free. W: That would be a massive help! Our budget is basically non-existent right now; we are relying entirely on small donations. M: I'll call him tonight. Once we get the permit, how are we going to fund the seeds and tools? W: We plan to host a bake sale and a plant swap at the local community center next month to raise funds. [Q21] What obstacle is currently preventing the neighbors from starting the garden?

男：嗨，莎拉！我在社區佈告欄上看到妳貼的貼文，是有關建立社區花園的。我很想參與。 女：那太棒了，馬克！我們真的很需要更多志工。目前我們正試著取得市議會的許可，以便使用榆樹街上的那塊空地。 男：那塊地已經荒廢好幾年了，現在只會長雜草，拿來種蔬菜再適合不過了。 女：沒錯。不過，市議會擔心土壤品質。他們希望我們在核發許可證之前，先進行土壤污染檢測。 男：我弟弟在環境實驗室工作。我可以問問他能不能幫我們做檢測，給個折扣，甚至免費幫忙。 女：那真的會幫了個大忙！我們目前基本上沒有預算，完全仰賴小額捐款。 男：我今晚就打給他。一旦我們拿到許可證，我們要怎麼籌措買種子和工具的資金？ 女：我們計劃下個月在當地的社區活動中心舉辦義賣和植物交換活動來籌集資金。 [問題] 目前是什麼障礙阻礙了鄰居們開始建立花園？

Good morning, team. As part of our ongoing commitment to creating a sustainable and comfortable workplace, we will be upgrading our office lighting system starting next Monday. The new intelligent LED system automatically adjusts brightness based on natural daylight and occupancy, which is expected to reduce our energy consumption by thirty percent. During the installation phase, which will take about three days, some areas of the third floor will have temporary power shutoffs. If your workstation is affected, please coordinate with your department head to set up a temporary desk in the second-floor conference room. We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we make our workspace greener and more efficient. [Q23] What is the primary purpose of the announcement?

Welcome to the Green Valley Nature Reserve. Before we head out on our guided trek, I'd like to share some guidelines to ensure we preserve this unique environment. First, please stay strictly on the marked wooden boardwalks; stepping off them can cause severe soil erosion and damage fragile alpine plant roots. Second, make sure all your trash, including organic waste like fruit peels, is packed back out with you, as foreign organic matter can disrupt the local wildlife's diet. Lastly, while photography is highly encouraged, please refrain from using flash, as it can startle the nesting birds. Thank you for helping us keep Green Valley pristine; now, let's begin our journey. [Q26] Why are visitors instructed to remain on the wooden boardwalks?

中文翻譯

歡迎來到綠谷自然保護區。在我們開始導覽行程之前，我想與大家分享一些守則，以確保我們能保護這個獨特的環境。首先，請務必留在標示的木棧道上；離開木棧道可能會導致嚴重的土壤流失，並破壞脆弱的高山植物根部。第二，請確保將所有垃圾帶走，包括果皮等有機廢棄物，因為外來的有機物質可能會干擾當地野生動物的飲食。最後，雖然非常歡迎大家拍照，但請勿使用閃光燈，因為這可能會驚嚇到築巢中的鳥類。感謝大家協助我們保持綠谷的原始面貌，現在，讓我們開始旅程吧。[第26題] 為什麼遊客被要求留在木棧道上？

Attention all university students and faculty members. In order to accommodate our growing digital collection, the university library will undergo a major reorganization of its physical space over the summer break. The current reference book section on the second floor will be converted into a state-of-the-art digital media lab, complete with high-performance computers and video editing software. Don't worry, the physical reference materials are not disappearing; they are being relocated to the compact shelving units in the basement, which can be accessed upon request at the front desk. Additionally, online access to our expanded digital archives will remain fully functional throughout the entire renovation period. We hope these new resources will better support your academic research in the coming semester. [Q29] What major change will take place on the second floor of the library?

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to today's seminar on 'Effective Cross-Cultural Communication in the Modern Workplace.' In today's globalized economy, technical expertise alone is no longer sufficient for professional advancement. Successful collaboration relies heavily on our ability to navigate diverse cultural norms and communication styles, which often differ significantly in terms of directness and non-verbal cues. Today, we will explore practical strategies for identifying these subtle differences, avoiding common misunderstandings, and building trust with international partners. We will start with a brief presentation, followed by interactive role-play exercises where you can practice these skills in real-world business scenarios. Please ensure your mobile phones are switched to silent mode so we can make the most of our time together. [Q32] According to the speaker, what is key to professional advancement today besides technical skills?

各位午安，歡迎參加今天的「現代職場中的有效跨文化溝通」研討會。在當今全球化的經濟中，光靠專業技術已不足以促進職涯發展。成功的合作在很大程度上取決於我們應對不同文化規範和溝通風格的能力，而這些在表達的直接程度和非口語線索方面往往有著顯著的差異。今天，我們將探討實用的策略，以識別這些細微的差異、避免常見的誤解，並與國際合作夥伴建立信任。我們將先進行簡短的簡報，接著是互動式角色扮演練習，讓您可以在實際商業情境中練習這些技巧。請確保您的手機已切換至靜音模式，以便我們能充分利用共同的時間。

Many people underestimate the impact of mild dehydration on their daily productivity and overall well-being. By the time you actually feel thirsty, your body has already lost about one to two percent of its total water content, which can lead to fatigue, mild headaches, and difficulty concentrating. To maintain optimal cognitive function, nutritionists recommend drinking water consistently throughout the day, rather than consuming large amounts all at once. An easy way to monitor your hydration level is by checking the color of your urine; a pale, straw-like yellow indicates proper hydration, while a dark yellow color suggests you need to increase your fluid intake. Remember, beverages like herbal teas and water-rich fruits also count toward your daily fluid goals, but plain water remains the healthiest and most efficient option. [Q35] What is a common early symptom of mild dehydration?

中文翻譯

許多人低估了輕度脫水對每日工作效率和整體身心健康的影響。當你真正感到口渴時，你的身體已經流失了總水量的百分之一到二，這可能會導致疲勞、輕微頭痛和注意力難以集中。為了維持最佳的認知功能，營養學家建議整天持續穩定地喝水，而不是一次喝下大量的水。監測水分補充狀況的一個簡單方法是檢查尿液顏色；淡黃色（如稻草般的顏色）表示水分充足，而深黃色則表示你需要增加水分攝取量。請記住，像花草茶和富含水分的水果等飲料及食物也算在每日的水分目標中，但白開水仍然是最健康、最有效的選擇。[第35題] 輕度脫水常見的早期症狀是什麼？
