解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 「早安。這是您每日的天氣預報。今天，預計有部分多雲的天空，最高溫攝氏25度。風勢輕柔，來自西北方。下午，有小雨的機率，所以您可能想備把傘。今晚，氣溫將降至約18度，天空將恢復晴朗。明天，我們預計會有較溫暖的天氣，最高溫接近28度，整天陽光普照。請記住，在一天中較溫暖的時候保持水分補充。另外，提醒您，水電費繳款截止日期是本週結束前。 」
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「水電費繳款何時到期？」。文中直接提到「水電費繳款截止日期是本週結束前」(utility bill payments are due by the end of this week)。這句話的語意與題目：「水電費繳款何時到期？」(When are utility bill payments due?) 完全吻合。
💡 應試技巧 — 在聽 Part 4 時，特別留意最後一句話，因為它經常包含重要資訊，例如截止日期、指示或額外提醒，這類資訊常被用來設計題目。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 「如果我的服務被中斷該怎麼辦？」— 文章未提及任何關於服務中斷的資訊。
X) 「付款的截止日期是什麼時候？」— 雖然文中提到「本週結束前」，但題目問的是「水電費」繳款，此選項較籠統，不如正確選項精確。
X) 「水電費繳款何時到期？」— 這是題目本身，並非選項。
