EigoPro 準2級 読解 — Summer Fireworks Festival

The 45th Riverside Summer Fireworks Festival The town of Sakaehama is proud to announce its 45th annual fireworks festival. This year's event will be held on Saturday, August 9, along the banks of the Tama River. If it rains heavily, the festival will be moved to the following day, Sunday, August 10. We will post the final decision on the town website by 3 p.m. on the day of the event. Schedule Food stalls and game booths will open at 4 p.m., offering everything from grilled corn to traditional games like goldfish scooping. The fireworks display itself will begin at 7:30 p.m. and last about one hour. This year, for the first time, the show will include music played through speakers along the river, so the fireworks will match the rhythm of the songs. Getting There Because the area becomes very crowded, we strongly recommend using public transport. Extra trains will run on the Sakae Line until midnight. There is no parking near the river, and the roads will be closed to cars from 5 p.m. Visitors who come by bicycle can use the free bicycle park behind the town hall. Important Notes Please bring a small mat or sheet to sit on, as the grass can be damp in the evening. Bringing your own drinks is fine, but glass bottles are not allowed for safety reasons. Please take all your trash home with you; there are only a few trash cans, and they fill up quickly. We hope you will join us for a magical summer evening. Last year, more than 80,000 people came to enjoy the show, and we expect an even bigger crowd this year. Let's make wonderful memories together!

雨天時対応設問の鉄則 ―― "If it rains heavily, X will be moved to ..." は 延期 (中止ではない) を示す。誤答は『中止』『時刻変更』『屋内開催』など別対応で誘導される。the following day = 「翌日」(= the next day) は準2級頻出。

「The area becomes very crowded and there is no parking near the river.」を表す読解フレーズ。交通手段推奨の文脈で頻出。

選択肢の解説Choice Analysis

「The area becomes very crowded and there is no parking near the river.」

正解

Getting There "Because the area becomes very crowded, we strongly recommend using public transport ... There is no parking near the river, and the roads will be closed to cars from 5 p.m." より、公共交通推奨の理由 = 大混雑 + 川沿いに駐車場なし。Because + 文 が理由、strongly recommend = 「強く勧める」。

  • 「The trains are much cheaper than they are on any normal day.」

    = 通常より電車が安い ━ 運賃割引の記述無し。

  • 「Cars are completely banned throughout the whole of the town.」

    = 町全体で車禁止 ━ 川沿い道路の5時封鎖のみ ━ 町全体ではない。

  • 「The town simply wants to reduce all of the air pollution.」

    = 大気汚染削減のため ━ 環境理由の言及無し、創作。

💡Tip · 覚えるコツ

推奨理由設問の鉄則 ―― "Because ..., we recommend ..." の Because 以降が理由。混雑 + 駐車場なしの 両方 を含む選択肢が正解。誤答は『運賃』『環境』など本文にない理由で誘導。be closed to + 名詞 = 「〜に対して閉鎖」は準2級頻出。
