TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目

段落

Good morning commuters, this is your morning traffic update for Tuesday, October 26th. We're seeing some significant delays on the I-95 Northbound due to an overturned truck near Exit 15. Expect delays of up to 45 minutes. Authorities are advising drivers to seek an alternate route, possibly using Route 1 South. In other news, the downtown area is experiencing heavy congestion due to the annual street fair. This may also affect your travel time if you're heading towards the City Museum, which has extended its hours this week to accommodate the new Impressionist Art exhibition. Their latest schedule is available online. Meanwhile, on Route 4, there's a partial closure due to ongoing construction, which is expected to last until Friday. Please plan your journeys accordingly. We'll be back with another update after the 9 AM news.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位通勤的旅客早安，這裡是您在週二 10 月 26 日的早晨交通更新。由於 15 號出口附近發生翻車事故， I-95 北向車道目前出現嚴重延誤，預計延誤時間高達 45 分鐘。當局建議駕駛者尋找替代路線，可考慮改走 Route 1 南向。另外，市中心區域正因年度街頭市集而經歷嚴重的交通壅塞。如果您正前往城市博物館，這也可能會影響您的通勤時間，該博物館本週延長了開放時間，以配合新的印象派藝術展覽。他們最新的展覽...
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「Because of the annual street fair.」。文章明確指出「the downtown area is experiencing heavy congestion due to the annual street fair」，這直接解釋了市中心交通壅塞的原因。這是對聽力內容的直接同義轉述 (paraphrasing)。
💡 應試技巧 — 在聽取 Part 4 中的通知或廣播時，請特別留意「due to」、「because of」、「owing to」等表示原因的連接詞，它們後面通常緊接著影響交通或事件的關鍵資訊。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) Due to the new museum exhibition. — 雖然提到博物館的展覽，但這是影響「前往城市博物館」的通勤時間，而非市中心整體交通壅塞的原因。
X) Because of an overturned truck. — 翻車事故發生在 I-95 北向車道，與市中心交通壅塞無關。
X) Due to construction on Route 4. — 文章中完全沒有提及 Route 4 或任何施工訊息。
