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.

題目

Why is there congestion on Route 1?

選項

  1. A. To improve traffic flow
  2. B. Due to road repairs ✓
  3. C. To prepare for the shareholder meeting
  4. D. For a special event

正確答案

B. Due to road repairs

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位通勤的聽眾早安。這是您 10 月 27 日星期五的交通更新。由於靠近 15 號出口處稍早發生了事故， I-95 北向車道有嚴重的延誤。預計行程時間將比平常長至少 45 分鐘。此外，在外圍的 1 號公路上，由於施工工程，市中心區域周圍有嚴重的壅塞。此施工預計將持續整個週末。對於前往金融區的人們，請考慮使用大眾運輸。地鐵線路均準時運行。最後，另外通知一則事項，請記得公司的年度股東
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「Due to road repairs (因為道路維修)」。文章明確提到：「on Route 1, there is heavy congestion around the downtown area because of construction work.」。「construction work」直接對應「road repairs」，說明了 Route 1 交通壅塞的原因。「Construction work」是關鍵詞，指明了壅塞的根本原因。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到「congestion」時，注意尋找表示原因的連接詞，如「because of」、「due to」，或是描述原因的名詞片語。直接對應文章中的「construction work」是解題的關鍵。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) To improve traffic flow — 文章未提及改善交通流動的計畫。
X) To prepare for the shareholder meeting — 文章提到「annual shareholder」但與 Route 1 的壅塞無關。
X) For a special event — 文章未提到任何特別活動是造成壅塞的原因。
