TOEIC 리스닝 파트 4 — 문제
지문
Good morning. This is your WXN weather update for Friday, October 27th. We're tracking a significant weather system moving into the region, which is expected to bring considerable rainfall throughout the weekend. Starting Saturday morning, expect widespread showers, becoming heavy at times, particularly across the northern and western sectors. Accumulations could reach up to three inches by Sunday evening. Coastal areas should also be mindful of potential minor tidal flooding during high tide cycles, exacerbated by the onshore winds. Temperatures will remain mild, hovering in the low 60s Fahrenheit, which is about 16 to 17 degrees Celsius. However, the main concern is the rainfall intensity. Residents in flood-prone areas, especially those near rivers and in low-lying urban districts, are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions. We'll have more updates throughout the day. For those planning travel, please check local advisories. Also, a reminder that with the upcoming holiday season, if your passport renewal process is due, it's advisable to initiate that soon, as processing times can sometimes extend, especially during peak travel periods. Stay safe and stay tuned.

해설
📖 지문해석 — This is not a passage-based question but part of a spoken announcement. The question asks why passport renewal is recommended soon. The options provide potential reasons.
📝 정답이유 — The correct answer is "To avoid potential delays during peak travel times." Although the provided text is a weather update, a typical Part 4 announcement regarding passport renewal would precede or follow such information to communicate important advisories. This option is a general, common reason for advising early renewal, implying high demand or busy periods which are not explicitly stated but are a common inference in such advisories.
💡 실전팁 — For Part 4 "Recommendation" or "Advisory" questions, listen for phrases indicating urgency or necessity. Keywords like "recommend," "advise," "important to," and time-related phrases often precede the reason.
