TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目
段落
Good morning, everyone. This is your daily weather update from Global Weather Services. Today, expect cloudy skies throughout the morning with a chance of light showers beginning around noon. Temperatures will hover around 15 degrees Celsius. For those planning outdoor activities, it might be best to postpone until later in the afternoon when the clouds are predicted to break, leading to partly sunny conditions. The wind will be light, coming from the west at about 10 to 15 kilometers per hour. Looking ahead to tomorrow, a cold front is approaching, bringing a significant drop in temperature and heavier rainfall, especially in the evening. We advise securing any loose outdoor items and checking our website for any updates, particularly concerning our new online payment system for premium forecast subscriptions. Thank you for tuning in.

正確答案
A. Premium forecast subscriptions
解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 各位早安。這裡是全球氣象服務的每日天氣預報。今天早上天空將多雲,中午左右可能會有小陣雨。氣溫約在攝氏15度左右。對於計畫戶外活動的朋友,最好延後到下午,屆時天空預計會放晴,轉為部分晴朗。風勢較弱,由西邊吹來,時速約10到15公里。展望明天,有冷鋒接近,將帶來顯著的氣溫下降。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「Premium forecast subscriptions」。雖然文中並未直接提及「付費訂閱」,但從「For those planning outdoor activities, it might be best to postpone until later in the afternoon when the clouds are predicted to break, leading to partly sunny conditions」這句話可以看出,提供者(全球氣象服務)對天氣的預測比一般公眾更詳細,暗示了他們有能力提供進階服務,而這類服務通常是透過付費訂閱來獲取,特別是針對需要精確天氣預報以規劃活動的聽眾。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到「daily weather update」(每日天氣預報)和「predictions」(預測)等關鍵字時,聯想這類服務通常有分級制度,免費的提供基本資訊,而付費的則提供更精確或更長期的預報,進而推斷出題目的可能方向。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) General weather inquiries — 文中提供的是天氣「預報」,而非回答聽眾的「查詢」。X) Website technical support — 整段內容完全沒有提及網站或技術問題。X) Advertising opportunities — 內容是天氣預報,與廣告業務完全無關。
