I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 They've all been _______ away already. (A) took (B) taken (C) taking (D) take 訳；それらはもう持っていかれてしまいました。 ※正解(B)。They've (all) been に注目すると、 という完了時制であることがわかります。過去分詞 been の後に続く語は、(B) か (C) にしぼられます。take away は「〜を持ち去る」という他動詞句で目的語を伴うので、(C) は不可。受動態の完了時制となる (B) が正解になります。 2. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 That's the store _______ I bought it. (A) that (B) where (C) which (D) there 訳；私がそれを買ったのはその店です。 ※正解(B)。That's the store. と I bought it there. の2文をつなぐ関係詞が入ります。the store を先行詞として接続詞と副詞の働きをする (B) の関係副詞 where が正解です。関係代名詞の (C) which を用いる場合、in which と前置詞が必要です。 3. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 His students _______ that his class was very boring. (A) continued (B) produced (C) complained (D) bothered 訳；生徒たちは彼の授業はとても退屈だと文句を言った。 ※正解(C)。選択する動詞の目的語となる that 節の「授業がとても退屈だ（boring）」をヒントに、適切な語を選択します。(A) は「続けた」、(B) は 「生み出した」、(D) は 「困らせた」という意味です。(C) のcomplained「不平を言った」が文意に合います。 4. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 He carried himself with _______. (A) assured (B) assurance (C) assurances (D) assure 訳；彼は堂々と振る舞った。 ※正解(B)。「with＋抽象名詞」で副詞の働きをし、with assurance「確信をもって」という意味になります。名詞の複数形の (C) assurances はここでは適切ではありません。過去分詞の (A) assured、動詞 (D) assure は with の後にはきません。 5. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 She was still wearing the _______ white dress. (A) flowering (B) flower (C) flowery (D) flowers 訳；彼女は花柄の白い服をまだ着ていました。 ※正解(C)。空所には white dress を修飾する形容詞が入りますが。したがって、(B) flower、(D) flowers は不適切です。(A) の flowering も「花の咲く、花を開く」という意味の形容詞でここでは適切ではありません。(C) の flowery「花模様の」が正解になります。 6. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 The sight was simply _______. (A) with magnificence (B) magnificent (C) magnificently (D) magnificence 訳；その眺めは実に見事だった。 ※正解(B)。第2文型の文で、空所に主語の補語となる語が入ることになります。前に副詞の simply があるので (A) with magnificence という副詞句や、副詞の (C) magnificently、(D) の名詞 magnificence「壮大さ」は不適切です。形容詞である (B) の magnificent「見事な」 が正解となります。 7. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Are you sure that he's pronouncing it _______? (A) proper (B) with properness (C) proper way (D) properly 訳；本当に彼はそれを正しく発音していると思いますか？ ※正解(D)。that 以下の従属節の動詞 pronounce を修飾する副詞が入ります。(A) proper には副詞の意味もありますが、「完全に、ひどく」という意味で文意が合いません。正解は (D) の副詞の properly「適切に」です。accurately を用いても同様の意味になります。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 If structural steel had been used to reinforce the dam, it ----- less likely to fail in an earthquake. (A) will be (B) is (C) would have been (D) be ※正解(C)。【解説】 If節にhad been used... が使われているので、空所にwould have beenを入れれば仮定法過去完了の文ができあがる。reinforce「強化する」。 2. 空所補充問題 The musical genre represented by religious songs known as spirituals emerged ----- the experience of African Americans during the era of slavery. (A) upon (B) as with (C) away with (D) out of ※正解(D)。【解説】 emergeの意味は「出現する、現れる」である。この後にout ofを続ければ「……の経験から出てきた」の意味になる。 3. 空所補充問題 Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun, is the second -----. (A) larger (B) largest (C) large (D) largely ※正解(B)。【解説】 the secondの後に最上級largestを入れると「２番目に大きい」という意味になる。 4. 空所補充問題 The original habitat of the Indian tribes that banded together ----- the Abnaki confederacy included Maine and parts of New Brunswick and Quebec. (A) formed (B) to form (C) had formed (D) did form ※正解(B)。【解説】 問題文の動詞はincludedである。したがって、formed, had formed, did formは使えない。正解は(B) to formである。habitat「居住地」、band together「集団を形成する、結束する」。 5. 空所補充問題 Willa Cather, ----- her novels about Nebraska and the American Southwest, is considered by many to have been one of America's best novelists. (A) being for best known (B) for best knowing (C) best known for (D) being known best ※正解(C)。【解説】 knownの後に名詞her novels ... を続けることはできないので(A)は不可。for best knowing、being known bestでは意味が通らない。正解は(C) best known for「もっともよく知られている」である。 6. 正誤問題 The archeological record is (A)rich in remains of the ships used by ancient (B)Greek and (C)Romans, but almost entirely (D)lacking in artifacts of small boats. ※正解(B)。【解説】 Greek → Greeks。単数形Greekと複数形Romansが並んでいる。どちらかが間違っている。「ギリシャ、ローマの人々」の意味にするにはGreeks and Romansと複数形にしなくてはいけない。 7. 正誤問題 (A)To avoid exposure to harmful ultraviolet (B)rays, always (C)wearing a hat when outdoors (D)on sunny days. ※正解(C)。【解説】 wearing → wear。目的を表すto不定詞、ultraviolet rays「紫外線」に問題はない。wearingのままでは、この文の動詞がないことになる。ここはwearを用いて命令形にする。on sunny days「晴れた日には」。 8. 正誤問題 Water (A)says to (B)be 'softened' (C)when minerals are removed (D)from so-called 'hard' water. ※正解(A)。【解説】 says → is said。Water says ... は明らかにおかしい。Water is said to be... にすれば「水は……だと言われている」の意味になる。hard water「硬水」。 9. 正誤問題 The notion (A)that a prayer or sacrifice (B)by human worshippers can influence (C)a deity is inconsistent (D)in the notion of an omnipotent God. ※正解(D)。【解説】 in → with。接続詞that、前置詞byの用法に問題はない。この場合のdiety「神」は可算名詞である。be inconsistent「一致しない」の後に来る前置詞はinではなくwithである。omnipotent「全能の」。 10. 正誤問題 The (A)pursue of (B)short-sighted political goals rarely (C)leads to effective (D)structural economic reform. ※正解(A)。【解説】 pursue → pursuit。文頭のpursue「追求する」は動詞である。ここは名詞pursuitを使わなくてはいけない。 II. 時事英文 World Press Freedom Day 2012 (その2：全4回シリーズ) But Freedom of the Press Day serves not only to highlight the importance of an uncensored press: it also serves as a reminder that in dozens of countries around the world, publications are censored, fined, suspended and closed down; that in many countries, journalists, editors and publishers and bloggers are harassed, attacked, jailed and even murdered.

Jokes a. My five-year-old nephew, Eric, went with his dad to see his first hockey game. Upon arriving home, he told his mum about the fight two players got into, and she asked why the men were fighting. Eric quickly responded: "They fight because they don't know how to play hockey!" b. At the supermarket one day, I noticed a woman with four boys and a baby. Her patience was wearing thin as the boys persistently called out "MUMMY!" while she was trying to shop. Finally she blurted out: "I don't want to hear the word 'Mummy' for at least the next ten minutes!" The boys fell silent for a few seconds. Then one tugged on his mother's dress and said softly, "Excuse me, Miss." c. I was shopping with my two grandsons, Sean and Eric, when the security alarm rang as we were leaving the store. I handed an employee my bag so he could check it. Then my grandsons and I left. Later that summer, while shopping at the same chain, the security alarm sounded again just as we were leaving. Eleven-year-old Sean said to a nearby store employee: "It's my grandma - she has a magnetic personality!" d. When my baby was six months old, my brother came for a visit. I was busy in the kitchen one day, so I just gave him the bottle and asked him to feed the baby after checking the temperature of the milk. Not having had any experience with babies, he didn't know where to begin. "Pour a few drops on the wrist," I explained. He nodded, and went on to pour a few drops on the baby's wrist." e. My husband and I were showing our daughters a grand old church on a trip to Canada. After exploring the inside of the historic church, we walked through the cemetery, reading the gravestones. Our seven-year-old daughter, Kate, admiring a tall granite gravestone, was impressed with how thoughtful the deceased's family had been. "They even left his phone number," she said, "so people could get in touch with him." When we asked what she meant, she pointed to the numbers inscribed on the stone: 1851-1920. f. It's long been my father's dream to journey into space. When I read that civilians were being offered the chance of a flight for the sum of $300,000, I asked my mother if she'd let Dad go. "Yes," she said, "if you can guarantee he won't come back." |
