TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目
段落
Good morning commuters. This is your morning traffic update brought to you by CityDrive Radio. We're tracking significant delays on the I-95 northbound due to an overturned vehicle near exit 14. Expect delays of up to 45 minutes. Additionally, there's a broken-down truck on the main bridge causing a standstill in the eastbound lanes. Authorities are working to clear it, but it's advised to seek alternate routes if possible. For those heading downtown, expect moderate congestion around the financial district as many companies are commencing their hybrid work schedules today, with a portion of employees opting for in-office presence. This might temporarily increase local traffic. We'll update you again in 30 minutes. Please drive safely.

📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「什麼是預計的交通擁塞的主要原因？」。文章直接提到「金融區周邊將有中度壅塞，因為今天許多公司開始實施混合工作模式」。這清楚說明了公司實施混合工作模式是造成金融區交通壅塞的原因。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到選項中與文章開頭提到的「金融區」和「塞車/壅塞」相關的訊息時，務必仔細聆聽後續原因的闡述，這通常是考題的重點。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 什麼是增加金融區交通的可能原因？ — 此選項過於籠統，問題問的是「主要原因」。
X) 員工為什麼選擇遠端工作？ — 文章提到的是「混合工作模式」，並且並未深入探討員工選擇的原因。
X) 交通狀況何時會改善？ — 文章沒有提供任何關於交通改善時間的資訊。
