TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目
段落
Good morning commuters. This is your traffic update for Friday, October 27th. We have some significant delays on the I-95 northbound due to an earlier accident near exit 15. Expect travel times to be at least 45 minutes longer than usual. Also, on Route 1, there is heavy congestion around the downtown area because of construction work. This construction is expected to continue through the weekend. For those heading to the financial district, consider using public transport. The subway lines are running on schedule. Finally, on a separate note, please remember that the company's annual shareholder meeting is scheduled for next Monday at 9 AM in the main conference room. All employees are welcome to attend. We expect a good turnout. Thank you for your attention.

正確答案
A. Delays on I-95 northbound
解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 各位通勤的聽眾早安。這是10月27日星期五的交通快報。由於在15號出口附近先前發生了一起事故,I-95北向車道出現了嚴重的延誤。預計通勤時間將比平常多至少45分鐘。此外,在市中心區域的Route 1公路上,由於正在進行施工,交通非常擁擠。這項施工預計將持續整個週末。對於前往金融區的聽眾,請考慮搭乘大眾運輸工具。地鐵班次均準時運行。最後,另外通知一則消息,請各位記得,公司年度股東
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「Delays on I-95 northbound」。文章開頭明確指出:「We have some significant delays on the I-95 northbound due to an earlier accident near exit 15.」這句話直接點明了I-95北向車道的嚴重延誤是當前重要的交通問題。雖然提到了事故和施工,但延誤是總體狀況。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到「delays」或「congestion」等關鍵字時,應留意其發生的具體地點和原因,並將其與選項中的地點進行比對,優先選擇描述了主要交通問題的選項。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) Construction on Route 1 — 這是造成Route 1擁擠的原因,但I-95的延誤被描述為「significant」且可能影響更多通勤者,問題問的是「main」 traffic problem。
X) Subway delays — 文章明確提到「The subway lines are running on schedule」,因此地鐵並無延誤。
X) An accident near exit 15 — 事故是造成I-95北向延誤的原因,但延誤本身是更廣泛的交通問題,而不是事故本身。
