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.

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位通勤的聽眾早安，這是您10月26日星期二的晨間交通情報。由於在15號出口附近發生一起翻車的貨車事故，我們預計I-95北向的交通將出現顯著延誤。預計延誤時間最長可達45分鐘。當局建議駕駛人尋找替代路線，可以考慮改走1號南向道路。在其他新聞方面，市中心由於年度街頭博覽會，目前交通壅塞嚴重。如果您正前往城市博物館，這也可能影響您的通勤時間，該館本週特別延長開放時間，以配合最新的印象派藝術展覽。他們最新的展覽...
A major accident involving a truck.
Ongoing construction work.
A street fair downtown.
The museum exhibition.
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是 A。文章開頭即提到「 significant delays on the I-95 Northbound due to an overturned truck near Exit 15」，直指「翻車的貨車」是造成 I-95 北向交通延誤的原因。此處 "overturned truck"（翻車的貨車）明確對應選項 A 中的 "major accident involving a truck"（涉及貨車的重大事故）。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到或讀到表示「原因」的詞（如 due to, because of, thanks to）後，務必留意其後方緊接的具體事件，這通常就是考點。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — B) Ongoing construction work — 文章中未提及任何施工。 C) A street fair downtown — 街頭博覽會造成市中心壅塞，但並非 I-95 北向延誤的原因。 D) The museum exhibition — 博物館展覽延長開放時間，與 I-95 的延誤無關。
