I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 My wife and I won't _______ forget that day. (A) ever (B) never (C) hardly (D) no more 訳； 私たち夫婦はあの日のことを決して忘れないでしょう。 ※正解(A)。【着眼点】won't とすでに否定語があるから、二重否定をつくる (B) 〜 (D) はすべて不可。「not ＋ ever」で never の意。二重否定は徹底攻略。 2. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 I don't suppose he's serious, _______? (A) do I (B) is he (C) has he (D) isn't he 訳； 彼は本気じゃありませんよね。 ※正解(B)。【着眼点】I（don't）suppose [think, believe, guess, etc.] (that) ... の構文では、付加疑問は主節のI（don't）thinkからではなくthat節のほうからつくられる。また、この構文では、I don't suppose (that) ... のように形式上は主節が否定されているが、実質上のnotの作用はthat節が受けるものと見なされる。したがって、I don't suppose he's serious. から付加疑問をつくる際は、I suppose he isn't serious. からつくるのと同じ要領で考えることになる。なお、以上述べたことは、主節の主語がIでsupposeなどの動詞が単純現在時制のときにのみ当てはまる。 3. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 The sales manager seldom ever visits our branch, _______? (A) did he (B) does he (C) isn't it (D) doesn't it 訳； 販売部長がうちの支店に顔を出すことはまずないよね。 ※正解(B)。【着眼点】先行節の主語は単数名詞で人 (sales manager) だから、付加疑問の部分にはheまたはsheが現れていないといけない。また、先行節の述語動詞は助動詞を含まない単純現在時制の一般動詞 (visits) であり、付加疑問の時制は先行節の時制に合わせるから、ここではdoesを用いることになる。seldomは生ずる位置によっては否定の力が弱まり、否定の付加疑問をとることもあるが、問題文のように動詞の前にきた場合は肯定の付加疑問が続いてさしつかえない。 4. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 _______ they can meet the deadline or not is the question. (A) If (B) When (C) That (D) Whether 訳； 彼らが締め切りに間に合わせられるかどうかが問題だ。 ※正解(D)。【着眼点】ＳＶ or notの節と結びついて全体として主語節を形成できるのは (D) のWhetherのみ。ifは主語節は導けない。 5. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 I have _______ many CDs as Henry. (A) three times so (B) three time as (C) as three times (D) three times as 訳； 私はヘンリーの3倍多くのCDを持っている。 ※正解(D)。【着眼点】原級を用いた倍数表現ではas ... asの最初のasの直前にtwice, three [four, five, etc.] timesなどの倍数詞が置かれる。したがって正解は (D)。 【選択肢】 (A) はsoが不可だが、これは倍数表現に限らないので注意（ → He is as [×so] tall as I.）。肯定文で用いられたas ... asをso ... asに代えた出題は誤文訂正問題でも頻出。(B) はtimeが単数形なので不可。(C) は語順が不可。 6. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 The estimate we agreed upon was _______ of the two. (A) a lower (B) the lower (C) the lowest (D) the most lowest 訳； 2つの提示額のうち、話がまとまったのは安いほうの見積りだった。 ※正解(B)。【着眼点】空所の後のof the twoに注目。2者間の比較で「より〜なほう」という文脈であるから (C) や (D) は不可だが、(D) のほうは最上級のlowestにmostがついていることからしても問題外。なお、(D) のような組み合わせは誤文訂正問題ではよく出されている。(A) は冠詞のaが問題。「2つのうちのより〜なほう」のように指し示す対象が1つに定まる文脈ではtheを用いる。 7. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 When it comes to the atmosphere, this restaurant is not _______ as the one we went to last week. (A) as good (B) so better (C) more better (D) such the best 訳； 雰囲気ということで言えば、このレストランは先週行ったレストランほどは良くない。 ※正解(A)。【着眼点】比較の対象がas the oneとasで導入されているから原級比較であり、(A) を選ぶことになる。oneはここではrestaurantをくり返す代わりに用いられた代用表現。when it comes to 〜 は「〜に関して言えば、〜という点になると」の意の慣用表現。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 ----- in domesticated pigs, only the male is known as a boar, the term is applied to both female and male wild pigs. (A) When (B) Who (C) Whether (D) While ※正解(D)。【解説】 domesticated pigs「飼育されている豚」とwild pigs「野生の豚」を対比しているので、ここでは接続詞whileを用いる。 2. 空所補充問題 The British prime ministership serves as the model ----- the analogous offices in each of the commonwealth countries. (A) as (B) for (C) on (D) at ※正解(B)。【解説】 serve as the model for ... で「 ... のモデルとして役に立つ」の意味になる。analogous「類似した」。 3. 空所補充問題 In most countries, the duty ----- one's country in battle is still seen as applying exclusively to males. (A) of serving (B) to serve (C) serve (D) to serving ※正解(B)。【解説】 duty to ...（動詞） で「 ... する義務」の意味を表す。正解は(B)。exclusively「 ... に限られた」。 4. 空所補充問題 Louis Pasteur ----- so fearful of dirt and bacteria that he refused to shake hands, and he carefully wiped his plate and glass before every meal. (A) is being said to have (B) said he was being to have (C) was said having been (D) is said to have been ※正解(D)。【解説】 toと完了形の組み合わせがポイント。Louis Pasteur is said to have been ... で「ルイ・パスツールは ... だったと言われている」の意味になる。 5. 空所補充問題 The U.S. state of South Dakota is also sometimes ----- as the Sioux State after the American Indian nation indigenous to the region. (A) to refer (B) referring (C) referred to (D) refer to ※正解(C)。【解説】 referの用法が問題になっている。be referred to as ... で「 ... と呼ばれている」の意味になる。正解は(C)である。 6. 正誤問題 (A)A modern computer chip the size of (B)fingertip has the (C)processing power of the 1949 ENIAC computer, (D)which was the size of several tennis courts. ※正解(B)。【解説】 fingertip → a fingertip。文頭の冠詞Aに問題はない。fingertip「指先」は可算名詞なので、冠詞aが必要となる。processing powerで「処理能力」の意味。関係代名詞whichの用法に誤りはない。 7. 正誤問題 One common way of (A)honoring the dead consists (B)of (C)lying flowers upon (D)their gravestones. ※正解(C)。【解説】 lying → laying。前置詞ofの後の動名詞honoringに問題はない。consist of ... で「 ... からなる」の意味。lie (lying)は自動詞。ここでは他動詞lay (laying)を用いる。theirはthe dead「死者（複数）」を指す。 8. 正誤問題 The cash register was invented in 1879 as (A)a means of preventing the patrons of (B)a tavern (C)stealing cash from (D)unprotected cash boxes. ※正解(C)。【解説】 stealing → from stealing・means「手段」、tavern「バー、居酒屋」は可算名詞である。preventing ... from stealingとしなければ文が成り立たない。unprotected「無防備な」に問題はない。 9. 正誤問題 (A)When President Lyndon B. Johnson took (B)the office after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, he declined to replace (C)any of (D)the members of the Kennedy Cabinet. ※正解(B)。【解説】 the office → office。take officeで「就任する」の意味になるので、theは必要ない。When、any、theに問題はない。 10. 正誤問題 Mushrooms are (A)fleshy, umbrella-shaped (B)fungus that have (C)long been used as (D)food. ※正解(B)。【解説】 fungus → fungi。fleshyは「厚くて柔らかい」の意味。ここではfungus「真菌類（キノコなど）」を複数形fungiにしなければならない。long beenの語順に問題はない。foodの前に冠詞は無用。 II. 時事英文 U.S. Sanctions Terrorists (その3：全6回シリーズ) The activities of the Ganj Madrassa exemplify how terrorist groups, such as al-Qa'ida, Lashkar-e Tayyiba, and the Taliban, subvert seemingly legitimate institutions, such as religious schools, to divert charitable donations meant for education to support violent acts. This action does not generally target madrassas, which often play an essential role in improving literacy and providing humanitarian and developmental aid in many areas of the world, including Pakistan.
