TOEIC リスニング パート 3 — 問題
パッセージ
Woman 1: Hi Mark. Have you heard about the upcoming office move? We're scheduled to relocate to the new building downtown next month.
Man 1: Oh, right. I remember seeing the initial announcement. Is everything on track?
Woman 1: Mostly, but there's a slight snag. The new building's main elevator is undergoing scheduled maintenance and will be closed for the first two weeks. We need to figure out how the team will manage carrying equipment up to the fifth floor.
Man 1: That's inconvenient. Will they have alternative elevators operational during that time?
Woman 1: Yes, there are two service elevators, but they're smaller. We'll need to coordinate a schedule for moving heavier items and perhaps limit non-essential transfers during that period. I was thinking we could ask the facilities team to help us plan the logistics.
Man 1: Good idea. Let's schedule a meeting with them as soon as possible to discuss the elevator maintenance closure and create a detailed moving plan. I'll send out an invite.
問題
What alternative elevators are available?
選択肢
- A. Two larger freight elevators
- B. Two smaller service elevators ✓
- C. The main elevator on a restricted schedule
- D. No alternative elevators are available
正解
B. Two smaller service elevators
解説
📖 本文の和訳 — はい、サービスエレベーターが2基あります。
📝 正解理由 — 男性が「Will they have alternative elevators operational during that time?」(その間、代替エレベーターは稼働していますか?)と尋ね、女性は「Yes, there are two service ele」(はい、サービスエレベーターが2基あります)と答えて、代替エレベーターがあることを確認しています。「service ele」は「service elevators」の略で、選択肢の中では「Two smaller service elevators」がこれに該当します。
💡 実践的ヒント — Part 3では、会話の途中で質問の答えが見つかることがあります。「alternative」(代替)や「available」(利用可能)といったキーワードを聞き逃さず、会話の相手が「Yes」と明確に答えたら、その後の説明に注意を払ってください。
📊 不正解選択肢の分析 —
X) Two larger freight elevators — 「freight」(貨物用)ではなく「service」(サービス用)エレベーターについて言及されています。
X) The main elevator on a restricted schedule — メインエレベーターは「undergoing scheduled maintenance」(定期メンテナンス中)で「closed」(閉鎖)されると述べられているため、制限付きのスケジュールで運用されるわけではありません。
X) No alternative elevators are available — 女性が「Yes」と答えているため、代替エレベーターがないというのは誤りです。
