段落

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.

D. Unusually high tides

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位早安，這裡是 WXN 天氣預報，時間是 10 月 27 日星期五。我們正在追蹤一個顯著的天氣系統正移入本區域，預計週末將帶來可觀的降雨。從週六早上開始，預計會有廣泛的陣雨，有時會變成大雨，尤其是在北部和西部地區。到週日晚上，累積降雨量可能高達三英寸。沿海地區在高潮期間也應注意潛在的輕微潮汐洪水，這將因對岸的風勢而加劇。氣溫將保持溫和，徘徊在華氏 60 度初。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「不尋常漲潮」。文中明確提到「Coastal areas should also be mindful of potential minor tidal flooding during high tide cycles, exacerbated by the onshore winds.」（沿海地區在高潮期間也應注意潛在的輕微潮汐洪水，這將因對岸的風勢而加劇。）這直接對應選項「Unusually high tides」。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到與「潮汐」、「洪水」、「高潮」相關的關鍵字時，務必注意其後續描述的影響，因為這通常是考題的重點。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 更強的風 — 文中提到「onshore winds」（對岸的風勢）會加劇潮汐洪水，但並未表示風勢會「異常強」。
X) 降雨減少 — 文章預測會有「considerable rainfall」（可觀的降雨），因此降雨不會減少。
X) 氣溫明顯下降 — 文章指出「Temperatures will remain mild, hovering in the low 60s」（氣溫將保持溫和，徘徊在華氏 60 度初），並未提及氣溫下降。
