TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目
段落
Good morning, commuters. This is your traffic update for Tuesday, October 24th. We have some significant delays on the I-95 Northbound due to an earlier accident near exit 15. Expect travel times to be extended by at least 45 minutes. Meanwhile, on the Parkway South, there's a construction project causing lane closures between exits 8 and 9. This is affecting traffic in both directions, so please allow extra time. For those heading to the airport, all departures are on schedule, but remember to check your specific flight details. There's a boarding gate change notice for flight UA456 to Chicago; it's now departing from gate C12 instead of C10. Please check the airport screens for any further updates. Drive safely and thank you for listening.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 各位通勤者早安。這裡是您星期二,10月24日的交通更新。由於在15號出口附近稍早發生了一起事故,I-95北向交通將有嚴重延誤;預計通勤時間將至少延長45分鐘。同時,在Parkway南向,一個施工項目正在影響8號和9號出口之間的車道封閉。這影響了雙向交通,請預留額外的時間。前往機場的旅客,所有航班起飛均按計畫進行,但請記得查看您的特定航班詳細資訊。UA456飛往芝加哥的航班有一個登機口變更通知。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「I-95北向的嚴重延誤是什麼原因?」題目直接詢問I-95北向延誤的原因。文中明確提到「We have some significant delays on the I-95 Northbound due to an earlier accident near exit 15.」,這句話直接提供了延誤的原因是「due to an earlier accident」(由於先前發生的一起事故)。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到問題中出現關鍵地點(如 I-95 Northbound)和疑問詞(如 What is the cause),請在音檔中快速鎖定與該地點相關的延誤原因說明。文中「due to」是關鍵的因果連接詞。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) Parkway South發生了什麼事? — 文章提到Parkway South有施工項目,但問題問的是I-95北向的延誤原因,而非Parkway South。
X) I-95 South的交通狀況如何? — 文章沒有提供I-95 South的具體交通狀況,問題是關於I-95 Northbound。
X) I-95 North的延誤是什麼原因? — 題目問的是「Northbound」(北向),選項是「North」,雖然意思接近,但最精確的選項應是「Northbound」。然而,這個選項的問法也正確地捕捉了問題核心,但選項4是更精確的總結。 [Note: The provided correct answer index was 3, which corresponds to 'What is the cause of the major delays on I-95 Northbound?'. My analysis above assumed the correct option was closer to the passage wording. Re-evaluating with Option 3 as correct: Option 3, "What is the cause of the major delays on I-95 Northbound?" is a perfect match for the question asked and directly addressed in the passage.]
