Day 25|Phase 4 実践演習④:Part 7 マルチパッセージ

今日のテーマ:複数文書を照合して「隠れた答え」を見つける


Day 25 導入:マルチパッセージの解法戦略

TOEIC Part 7のダブル・トリプルパッセージは、1セット5問で構成されます。5問のうち1〜2問が必ずクロスリファレンス問題(複数文書を照合しないと解けない問題)です。

マルチパッセージ解法フロー:

① 設問5問を先に読む(タイプを確認)② 文書1を読みながら解ける設問を解く③ 文書2(・3)を読みながら解ける設問を解く④ クロスリファレンス問題は最後(両方読んだ後)に解く⑤ 「どの文書の情報か」を常に意識する

クロスリファレンス問題の見分け方:
– 「According to the [email / advertisement / chart]」という文書指定がある
– 設問の答えが1つの文書だけでは決まらない
– 「What problem does [人名] have?」→ 人物の情報が複数文書に分散している
