TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目

段落

Good morning. This is your WXN weather update for Friday, October 27th. We're tracking a significant weather system moving into the region, which is expected to bring considerable rainfall throughout the weekend. Starting Saturday morning, expect widespread showers, becoming heavy at times, particularly across the northern and western sectors. Accumulations could reach up to three inches by Sunday evening. Coastal areas should also be mindful of potential minor tidal flooding during high tide cycles, exacerbated by the onshore winds. Temperatures will remain mild, hovering in the low 60s Fahrenheit, which is about 16 to 17 degrees Celsius. However, the main concern is the rainfall intensity. Residents in flood-prone areas, especially those near rivers and in low-lying urban districts, are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions. We'll have more updates throughout the day. For those planning travel, please check local advisories. Also, a reminder that with the upcoming holiday season, if your passport renewal process is due, it's advisable to initiate that soon, as processing times can sometimes extend, especially during peak travel periods. Stay safe and stay tuned.

題目

What is the primary concern regarding the upcoming weekend weather?

選項

  1. A. Heavy precipitation ✓
  2. B. Unseasonably warm temperatures
  3. C. A significant drop in humidity
  4. D. Increased solar activity

正確答案

A. Heavy precipitation

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 「早安。這裡是 WXN 天氣預報，發布於 10 月 27 日星期五。我們正在追蹤一個重要的天氣系統進入本區，預計將在整個週末帶來可觀的降雨。從週六早上開始，預計會有廣泛的陣雨，間中會變得相當大，尤其是在北部和西部地區。截至週日晚上，累積降雨量可能高達三英寸。沿海地區在高潮期間也應注意潛在的輕微潮汐洪災，這將因海上風而加劇。氣溫將保持溫和，徘徊在華氏 60 度初。」
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「Heavy precipitation」(強降雨)。文章明確提到「expected to bring considerable rainfall throughout the weekend」、「widespread showers, becoming heavy at times」、「Accumulations could reach up to three inches」。這些都是關於強降雨的直接線索，表明這是週末天氣的主要擔憂。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽力時，聽到與「雨」、「降雨量」、「大雨」等關鍵字有關的描述，就要立刻聯想到「降水」相關的選項，並仔細確認程度（大、小、多、少）。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) Unseasonably warm temperatures (反常的溫暖溫度) — 文章提到「Temperatures will remain mild, hovering in the low 60s Fahrenheit」，這並非「反常的溫暖」。
X) A significant drop in humidity (濕度顯著下降) — 文章中沒有提及濕度的變化，更沒有提到「下降」。
X) Increased solar activity (太陽活動增加) — 這是天氣預報中極少出現的主題，與文章內容完全無關。
