解説
📖 本文の和訳 — Horizon Enterprisesの週刊ニュースレター「Innovations & Insights」は、R&D部門の進歩とクライアント感謝イベントの成功を伝えています。特に、プロジェクト管理を革新すると期待される新ソフトウェア「Synergy」のプロトタイプ開発が完了し、来年初頭にベータ版がローンチされる予定です。
📝 정답이유 — 選択肢「A beta version is expected next year.」が正解である理由は、本文中に「We expect a beta launch early next year.」(来年初頭にベータ版のローンチを期待しています)と明記されているからです。「expect」は「期待する」、「beta launch」は「ベータ版ローンチ」を意味します。
💡 실전팁 — 「Part 7: 詳細情報検索」問題では、「when」(いつ)に該当する時間の手がかりを探すことが重要です。本文中で「early next year」(来年初頭)という時間表現を見つけたら、時間に関する質問の答えである可能性が高いので注目しましょう。
📊 오답분석 — X) It has already been launched. — 本文は「beta launch」が「early next year」にあると述べており、すでにローンチされたという記述はありません。 X) It is designed for employee training. — 本文は「Synergy」ソフトウェアの目的を「project management」の革新として説明しており、従業員トレーニング用であるという言及はありません。 X) Maria Garcia is leading its development. — Maria Garciaは従業員紹介のセクションに登場しますが、「Synergy」ソフトウェアの開発を主導しているという直接的な情報はありません。
