해설

📖 지문해석 — Horizon Weekly 10월 26일자 기사입니다. 편집장 서신에서는 R&D 부서의 중대한 발전과 지난달 성공적인 고객 감사 행사 등 생산적인 분기였다고 언급합니다. 'Synergy'라는 새로운 소프트웨어의 프로토타입을 완성했으며, 내년 초 베타 출시를 예상합니다.
📝 정답이유 — 질문은 화재 대피 훈련 일정에 대해 묻고 있으며, 정답은 "Employees will receive specific timings for their drills."입니다. 본문에서는 "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."라고 명시되어, 각 부서별 구체적인 훈련 시간을 받게 될 것이라고 안내합니다. 'by department'와 'specific drill times'라는 구절이 이를 뒷받침합니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 7에서 일정 관련 질문이 나올 경우, 'when', 'date', 'time', 'schedule', 'upcoming', 'next month'와 같은 시간 관련 키워드를 먼저 찾고, 해당 내용을 구체적으로 설명하는 부분을 집중해서 읽으세요.
📊 오답분석 —
X) It will take place in early December. — 본문에는 'next month'라고만 되어 있으며, 12월이라고 특정하지 않았습니다.
X) Only the R&D department needs to participate. — 본문에서는 모든 직원을 대상으로 한다고 암시하지만, 특정 부서만 참여한다고 명시하지 않았습니다.
X) The schedule is still being determined. — 훈련이 'next month'에 실시될 것이라고 했으므로, 완전히 미정 상태는 아닙니다.
