問題文
You are a college student going to study in the US and need travel insurance.You find this review of an insurance plan written by a female international student who studied in the US for six months.
There are many things to consider before traveling abroad: pack appropriate clothes,prepare your travel expenses,and don’t forget medication ( if necessary).Also,you should purchase travel insurance.
When I studied at Fairville University in California,I bought travel insurance from TravSafer International.I signed up online in less than 15 minutes and was immediately covered.They accept any form of payment,usually on a monthly basis.There were three plans.All plans include a one−time health check−up.
The Premium Plan is $100/month.The plan provides 24−hour medical support through a smartphone app and telephone service.Immediate financial support will be authorized if you need to stay in a hospital.
The Standard Plan worked best for me.It had the 24−hour telephone assistance and included a weekly email with tips for staying healthy in a foreign country.It wasn’t cheap: $75/month.However,it was nice to get the optional 15% discount because I paid for six months of coverage in advance.
If your budget is limited,you can choose the Economy Plan,which is $25/month.It has the 24−hour telephone support like the other plans but only covers emergency care.Also,they can arrange a taxi to a hospital at a reduced cost if considered necessary by the support center.
I never got sick or hurt,so I thought it was a waste of money to get insurance.Then my friend from Brazil broke his leg while playing soccer and had to spend a few days in a hospital.He had chosen the Premium Plan and it covered everything! I realized how important insurance is―you know that you will be supported when you are in trouble.

この過去問の解説 (2件)
01
Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude?「筆者の態度を最もよく描写しているのは次のうちどれか。」という問いです。
最も伝えたいことは文章の最初か最後に置かれることが多いことを留意しましょう。
今回は、最終段落に
・ブラジルからの友人が骨折して入院した
・彼はプレミアムプランを選んでいたので全額補償された
・保険がいかに大切かを知った
という内容の記述があり、手掛かりになる可能性が高いです。
「彼女はスマートフォンのアプリが便利だと信じている。」
そのような記述はありません。
「彼女は旅行準備が大事だと考えている。」
保険加入=準備ととらえれば、最終文I realized how important insurance is―you know that you will be supported when you are in trouble. と合致するとも言えます。
他の選択肢が完全に誤りなので、こちらが正答になります。
「彼女はアメリカの医療システムが世界でも特殊だと感じている。」
そのような記述はありません。
「彼女は友達にとっては違う病院が良かっただろうと思っている。」
そのような記述はありません。
