EigoPro 準2級 読解 — Typhoon Safety Notice

Important: Typhoon No. 12 Safety Notice — Aoba City A strong typhoon is expected to reach Aoba City on Wednesday evening. The city government asks all residents to read this notice carefully and prepare early. The most dangerous time will be between 8 p.m. and midnight on Wednesday, when winds may reach 40 meters per second. Before the Typhoon Please prepare now, while the weather is still calm. Fill your bathtub with water in case the water supply stops. Charge your phone and prepare a flashlight, in case of a power cut. Bring inside any objects on your balcony, such as plants or bicycles, because strong winds can blow them away and hurt someone. It is also wise to keep three days of food and water at home. During the Typhoon Once the typhoon arrives, stay inside and away from windows. Do not go outside to look at the storm, even if it seems calm for a short time — this may be the "eye" of the typhoon, and the wind will return suddenly. If you live near a river or on a hill, listen carefully to the city's emergency announcements. Evacuation If the city advises evacuation, go to the nearest shelter early, before it gets dark. The main shelters are Aoba Elementary School and the Central Community Hall. Bring your own water, medicine, and a warm blanket. Pets are welcome, but they must be kept in a cage or carrier. For Help In a life-threatening emergency, call 119. For other questions, the city's disaster hotline (0120-808-303) is open 24 hours during the typhoon. Updated information is also available on the city website and the official disaster app. Stay calm, prepare early, and look after each other. Most injuries during typhoons can be prevented with good preparation.

選択肢の解説Choice Analysis

「Between 8 p.m. and midnight on Wednesday.」

正解

本文 "The most dangerous time will be between 8 p.m. and midnight on Wednesday, when winds may reach 40 meters per second" より、最危険 = 水曜20時〜深夜0時。between X and Y = 「XからYの間」、may reach ~ = 「〜に達する可能性」。

  • 「Early on Wednesday morning.」

    = 水曜早朝 ━ 夜 (20時〜0時) であり朝ではない。

  • 「All day long on Thursday.」

    = 木曜終日 ━ 水曜夜が危険 ━ 木曜ではない。

  • 「Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening.」

    = 火曜午後 ━ 台風到達は水曜夕方。

💡Tip · 覚えるコツ

時間帯設問の鉄則 ―― "between X and Y" の 時刻範囲 を正確に拾う。誤答は『朝』『木曜』など別の時間帯で誘導。between X and Y = 「XとYの間」、may reach ~ = 「〜に達するかも (可能性)」は準2級必須。

選択肢の解説Choice Analysis

「In case the water supply stops.」

正解

Before the Typhoon "Fill your bathtub with water in case the water supply stops" より、浴槽に水を貯める理由 = 断水に備えて。in case + 文 = 「〜の場合に備えて」(備え)、water supply = 「水道供給」、fill A with B = 「AをBで満たす」。

  • 「To make the bathroom safer during strong winds.」

    = 強風時に浴室を安全に ━ 浴室の安全とは無関係 ━ 断水対策。

  • 「So children have somewhere to play indoors.」

    = 子供の遊び場 ━ 遊び場の記述無し、創作。

  • 「To put out fires caused by the storm.」

    = 嵐の火事を消すため ━ 消火目的の記述無し。

💡Tip · 覚えるコツ

備えの理由設問の鉄則 ―― "Do X in case Y" の in case Y が理由 (〜に備えて)。in case + 文 (節) と in case of + 名詞 の使い分けに注意。fill A with B = 「AをBで満たす」は準2級必須。誤答は本文にない別目的で誘導。

  • Because it is too cold to be outside.
  • Because the police will give them a fine.

選択肢の解説Choice Analysis

「It may be the eye of the typhoon, and the wind will return suddenly.」

正解

During the Typhoon "Do not go outside to look at the storm, even if it seems calm for a short time — this may be the 'eye' of the typhoon, and the wind will return suddenly" より、外出禁止の理由 = 台風の目で風が突然戻るから。even if ~ = 「たとえ〜でも」(譲歩)、the eye of the typhoon = 「台風の目」。

  • 「Because the police will give them a large fine for it.」

    = 警察に罰金される ━ 罰金の記述無し、創作。

  • 「Because all of the shops outside are closed at that time.」

    = 店が閉まっているから ━ 店舗の記述無し。

  • 「Because it is far too cold to be outside at that time.」

    = 外が寒すぎる ━ 気温ではなく 風の危険 が理由。

▦Collocation

    穏やかでも外出禁止。

  • This may be the eye of the typhoon.

    台風の目かもしれない。

  • The wind will return suddenly.

    風は突然戻る。

💡Tip · 覚えるコツ

注意の理由設問の鉄則 ―― "Do not X — (reason)" のダッシュ後が 理由。even if ~ = 「たとえ〜でも」(譲歩、even though = 事実とは異なり仮定)。the eye of the typhoon = 「台風の目」は準2級頻出。誤答は『罰金』『寒さ』など本文にない理由で誘導。
