解説

📖 本文の和訳 — Horizon Weekly 10月26日号です。編集長からのメッセージでは、研究開発部門における重要な進歩と、先月開催された盛況な顧客感謝イベントを特徴とする、生産的な四半期であったと述べています。新ソフトウェア「Synergy」のプロトタイプが完成し、来年初頭にベータ版をリリースする予定です。
📝 정답이유 — 質問は火災避難訓練のスケジュールについて尋ねており、正解は「Employees will receive specific timings for their drills.」です。本文には「We will be conducting our annual fire drill next month. Employees will be notified of their specific drill times by department in the coming weeks.」と明記されており、各部署ごとの具体的な訓練時間が通知されることが案内されています。「by department」(部署ごとに)と「specific drill times」(具体的な訓練時間)というフレーズがこれを裏付けています。
💡 실전팁 — Part 7でスケジュールに関する質問が出た場合、「when」、「date」、「time」、「schedule」、「upcoming」、「next month」といった時間関連のキーワードをまず探し、その内容を具体的に説明している部分を集中して読んでください。
📊 오답분석 —
X) It will take place in early December. — 本文には「next month」(来月)としか書かれておらず、12月とは特定されていません。
X) Only the R&D department needs to participate. — 本文では全従業員を対象としていることを示唆していますが、特定の部署のみが参加すると明記されていません。
X) The schedule is still being determined. — 訓練は「next month」(来月)に実施されると書かれているため、完全に未定の状態ではありません。
