Date : 2023-12-27|Visitors : 408|Source : BEST Test of English Proficiency

本部分共計10題，每題皆為取材自大學校園、國際學程、實習或職場情境的對話，例如討論、聽podcast等。聆聽時，考生須理解言談本身的主旨、關鍵資訊與細節，也須依據言談上下文推測說話者的看法或態度。以下針對一題「短篇言談」單選題，提供說明與解析。

例題說明

本題主要評量考生是否可以聽出下面這篇對話中的主旨大意，並掌握其中關鍵資訊。

例題

（以下文字為播音內容，不會印在試題冊上。M代表Man，W代表 Woman。）

  1. M: (RING) Hello. This is the History Department. How can I help you?
  2. W: Hi, I'm trying to reach Professor Simon, but he doesn't seem to be in his office.
  3. M: Professor Simon is in a meeting. Can I take a message?
  4. W: Yes. This is Amber Romero. I'm in his Asian History course. I won't be able to go to class tomorrow because I have a fever.
  5. M: Okay, Amber, I'll let him know when he's out of the meeting.
  6. W: Thank you very much.

Question: What will the man tell the professor?

（以下文字會印在試題冊上。）

  1. A student wants to join a class.
  2. A student handed in her homework.
  3. A student will be absent.*

解析

題目問What will the man tell the professor?（男生將轉達什麼訊息給教授?），考生須抓出關鍵資訊，大致理解短篇言談的主旨大意。對話中的關鍵句是來電的女生請男生轉達I won't be able to go to class tomorrow because I have a fever（我明天沒辦法去上課，因為我發燒了），須聽懂關鍵字fever（發燒）和won't be able to go to class（無法到班上課），理解此訊息後，對應到選項的關鍵字absent（缺席），即可知選項C：A student will be absent.（一名學生將缺席）為最合適的答案。
