(A) whom (B) who's (C) whose (D) who 訳：新しい支部長が誰になるのか探らなくてはならない。 ※正解(D)。「誰が…だ」という時の疑問代名詞。あとの will be という（助）動詞に対する主格が必要。 3. Part V； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 In the commotion, the diamond ring _______.

(A) them (B) that (C) those (D) they're 訳：あの男の子たちはいつゲームを終えると思いますか ※正解(Ｃ)。(A)them は文法的につながらない。boys が複数形であるから、(B)that も不可。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 Runes, the written characters of the earliest alphabet used by the Germanic peoples in Europe, ----- back to the 200's A.D. (A) date (B) dates (C) dating (D) to date ※正解(A)。【解説】 空所にはこの文の動詞が入ることになる。主語がRunes「ルーン文字（複数形）」になっているので、(A) dateが正解。date back to... 「……にさかのぼる」。 2. 空所補充問題 The 17th-century Irish scientist Robert Boyle is considered by many ----- the founder of modern chemistry. (A) is being (B) is (C) to be (D) being ※正解(Ｃ)。【解説】 動詞is consideredの後に来るのは？ to be... である。これで「……だとみなされている」の意味になる。founder「創始者」。 3. 空所補充問題 ----- ordinary oxygen molecules have two oxygen atoms, ozone molecules have three. (A) While (B) When (C) Which (D) Why ※正解(A)。【解説】 カンマを挟んで２つ並んでいるのでWhichとWhyを空所に入れると前後の文が繋がらない。Whenでは意味が通らない。While「……する一方で」を使えばいい。molecule「分子」。 4. 空所補充問題 The International Space Station, was originally planned ----- fully operational in 2004. (A) became (B) to become (C) becomes (D) becoming ※正解(B)。【解説】 was originally planned... 受け身の後に不定詞to becomeを続ければ「もともと……する計画になっていた」の意味になる。operational「使用できる、機能を果たす」。 5. 空所補充問題 About $145 million ----- spent on oil exploration in Saskatchewan in 1953. (A) to be (B) been (C) were (D) was ※正解(D)。【解説】 to be、beenが使えないのはすぐにわかる。About $145 millionは単数扱いなので正解は(D) wasになる。exploration「調査、探査」。 6. 正誤問題 Large (A)amounts of electric power (B)is controlled (C)with a device (D)called a magnetic amplifier. ※正解(B)。【解説】 is → are。Largeの前に冠詞がないのでamountsは複数形のままでいい。それに呼応してisはareになる。前置詞withに問題はない。calledの前にはthat/which isが略されている。 7. 正誤問題 (A)In order to sustain life, (B)an organism must be able to maintain a stable set of conditions inside (C)their own body -- a condition (D)known as homeostasis. ※正解(Ｃ)。【解説】 their → its。目的を表すIn order to... に問題はない。organism「有機体、生物」は加算名詞。theirはorganismを指すのでitsにしなくてはいけない。known as... 「……として知られている」。homeostasis「定常性」。 8. 正誤問題 (A)The third (B)larger city in Panama is Colon, (C)with (D)a population of about 60,000. ※正解(B)。【解説】 larger → largest。「３番目に大きい」はThe third largest... と最上級を用いる。 9. 正誤問題 In 1908, Glenn H. Curtiss (A)made the first official public flight in the United States of (B)over than 1 kilometer, (C)helping to prove (D)that airplanes could be useful. ※正解(B)。【解説】 over than → more than。動詞made、分詞helping、接続詞thatの用法に問題はない。「……以上」はover thanではなくmore thanである。 10. 正誤問題 (A)Substances that share distinctive characteristics (B)with both liquids and crystals are called liquid crystal, and (C)has a number of important practical (D)applications. ※正解(Ｃ)。【解説】 has → have。substance「物質」、application「応用」は共に加算名詞。前置詞withに問題はない。hasはSubstancesに呼応してhaveになる。 II. 時事英文 Green Cities (その9：全13回シリーズ) The United States Green Building Council is changing the way people build in cities. This nonprofit organization has a rating system for making environmentally safe public and private buildings. It is called Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED. Many cities now require that new buildings be built according to LEED environmental requirements. LEED is not the only rating system for green buildings. For example, the National Association of Homebuilders has its own set of rules. And, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy joined to create the Energy Star program. III -a. 雑知識

Jokes a. A man was driving down the street in a lather because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking space. Looking up to heaven, he said, "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking space, I promise to go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up swearing." Miraculously, a spot opened right in front of the building. The man looked up and said, "Never mind. I found one." b. Three cowboys are about to be strung up for cattle rustling. The lynch mob brings them to a tree at the edge of the Rio Grande. They put the first cowboy in the noose, but he's so sweaty, he slips out, falls in the river, and swims to freedom. They tie the noose around the second cowboy's neck. He, too, slips out of the rope, drops into the river, and gets away. It's the third rustler's turn. He looks at the mob and says, "Could y'all do me a favor? Tighten that noose a bit - I can't swim." c. Just before a boy enters the barbershop, the barber tells his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch." The barber puts a dollar in one open palm an 50 cents in the other and asks the kid, "Which do you want?" The boy takes the 50-cent coin and leaves. "See?" says the barber, laughing. Later, the customer passes the boy, who is standing outside a candy store. "Why'd you take the 50 cents and not the dollar?" he said. "Because," says the boy, "the day I take the dollar, the game's over." |
