This is Jennifer Walsh reporting for City News Network. The city council announced today that construction on the new downtown metro line will begin next month. The project, estimated to cost over two billion dollars, is expected to take approximately three years to complete. City transportation director Michael Park stated that the new line will serve an estimated two hundred thousand passengers daily once operational, and is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion in the central business district. The project is the largest public infrastructure investment in the city’s history. Construction is scheduled to begin on the fifteenth of next month.

解答と解説：

設問	正解	解説
1	(B) A new transportation project	“new downtown metro line”が主題
2	(B) Within two years ← 正解は(D) In three to four years ←	正確には”approximately three years”なので(D)は不正解、正解は(B)ではなくスクリプト通りに”In about three years” → 選択肢上の正解：“approximately three years”→設問の選択肢に最も近いのは特定の選択肢。本演習では設問を通じて「近似値」の読み取りを練習
3	(C) It is the largest investment in the city’s history.	“the largest public infrastructure investment in the city’s history”が直接の根拠

※設問2の補足： “approximately three years”（約3年）→選択肢(B)”within two years”（2年以内）は×、正解は”In three to four years”に近い概念。TOEIC本番では「approximately three years」に最も近い選択肢を選ぶ訓練として、この問題を使ってください。
