Though the injury healed more quickly than doctors expected, ------- three months Jim was still walking with a limp. (A) after (B) among (C) in (D) later 訳 けがは医師の予想よりも早く治ったが、３カ月たっても、ジムはまだ足を引きずりながら歩いていた。 ※正解(A)。解説 three monthsという一定の期間を導く語として適切で、なおかつ文脈内で意味を成すのは、選択肢の中ではafter（…後に）だけです。［in＋期間］も「…後に」の意味ですが、これは通常、「（現在から数えて）…後に」と述べる状況で用いられるもので、この問題文の場合には用いられません。また、laterを用いる場合は、three months later（３カ月後）のように、期間を表す語句のあとに置く必要があります。 '2. During the presentation, Jason avoided ------- to his notes since he wanted to impress the audience. (A) refer (B) reference (C) referral (D) referring 訳 発表の間、ジェーソンはメモを見るのを避けた。というのも聴衆に良い印象を与えたかったからだ。 ※正解(D)。解説 avoidの語法が問われています。avoidは動名詞を従えて、「…するのを避ける」という意味を表すので、(D)のreferringが正答となります。 '3. The company's new computers were all ------- by highly secure, anti-viral software. (A) installed (B) produced (C) programmed (D) protected 訳 会社の新しいコンピューターはすべて、安全性の高いウイルス対策ソフトによって保護されていた。 ※正解(D)。解説 選択肢はどれも動詞の過去・過去分詞です。protect（…を守る）の過去分詞形であるprotectedを選べば、「安全なウイルス対策ソフトによって保護されている」という受動態の文が成立し、文意が通ります。 (2) TOEFL単語 1. common law 2. statutory law 3. accuse 4. administrative law 5. law-abiding 6. constitutional law a. 法を守る b. 成文法、制定法 c. 普通法、コモンロー d. 行政法 e. 憲法 f. 告発[告訴]する、非難する 1-c, 2-b, 3-f, 4-d, 5-a, 6-e II. 時事英文 Tuesday, September 30, 2014 H.K. leader declares Beijing will not reverse poll decision The Associated Press Pro-democracy protesters flood the streets around the government headquarters in Hong Kong on Monday.

ABCニュースから Keyword 解説 ABCニュースは、自動取締り機による交通違反の罰金が過剰に徴収されているのではないかという疑問を伝えています。 millions in fines for city coffers 「市の財源に入る何百万ドルもの罰金」。 キーワードは、city coffers「市の財源」。 cofferは「貴重品箱、金庫」。 coffersと複数形で抽象的に「財源」。 blow a red lightで「赤信号を無視する」。 ABCニュースは、実際には違反していなくてもfine「罰金」を徴収された例があったと伝えています。 今回のキーワードは、city coffers「市の財源」です。 [例文] That camera that says you've blown a red light or the speed limit. 交通違反を取り締まるカメラは- They are popping up in towns all over the country, which means millions in fines for city coffers. 国中の至る所にあって罰金が市の財源になっている Just in Washington DC, money from camera tickets jumped 50% in the past couple of years. ワシントンDCの罰金徴収額はこの数年で50％増えた The real concern is that some communities are using speed cameras as a way to generate money rather than as a way to improve safety. 金を作るために自動取締り機を使う自治体もあるようです Tonight the district's own inspector confirming what many drivers suspect. 監査によって懸念が確かなものに They are getting ticketed even if the photo doesn't match the registration of the car, and sometimes when it's impossible to tell by the photo which car is speeding. 車の登録情報と写真が違っていても違反写真判定が難しくても違反にされていた DC's police chief rejects many of the investigative findings and says the cameras are reducing speeds and plans to continue to use the more than 200 cameras flashing around the district. 警察は自動取締り機が交通違反の抑制に有効だと主張 今後も取締り機の使用を続けるという IV. Jokes '1. Active Pursuits I'm bald-well, balding. I like to say "balding" because it sounds more productive. And I don't like to say I'm losing my hair, because that makes it sound like had I been more responsible, this wouldn't have happened. "Where's your hair?" "I lost it. You know me. Where are my keys?" '2. Not Getting It After I bought my mother a compact-disc player and some CDs, she was excited to discover she no longer needed to rewind or fast-forward tapes or move the needle on her record player. Knowing she was not that technically astute, I called her a few days later to see how she was managing. "Fine. I listened to Shania Twain this morning," she said. "The whole CD?" I asked. "No," she replied, "just one side." '3. Old and Feeling Great A nurse friend of mine took a 104-year-old patient for a walk in the hospital corridor. When she got him back to his room and sat him down, he took a deep breath and announced, "That was great! I don't feel a day over 100!" |
