I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 _______ of cultural differences, what is your take on those computer software commercials that came in from the U.S.? (A) Spoken (B) Speaking (C) In speech (D) The speech 訳；文化の違いと言えば、アメリカから来た例のコンピュータ・ソフトウェアのコマーシャルをあなたはどう思いますか。 ※正解(B)。《解説》慣用的な独立分詞構文の問題。ここで「文化の違い (cultural differences) と言えば、…」と冒頭の部分で話題を提示している。(B) を選んでSpeaking of 〜とする。なお、Talking of 〜と言っても同じ。your take on 〜は「〜に対するあなたの受け取り方（口語）」。慣用句としては、Strictly speaking「厳密に言えば」、 Frankly speaking「率直に言えば」などもよく見る表現。 2. Part V； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 If Miss Green _______ me some notice, I could have prepared the room for her arrival. (A) would give (B) had given (C) has given (D) gave 訳；もしグリーンさんが来ることを知らせてくれていたなら、私は彼女に部屋を用意しておくことができただろう。 ※正解(B)。《解説》過去の事実に反することを仮定して言う仮定法過去完了の文。主節はI could have prepared the room for 〜「私は〜のために部屋を用意しておくことができただろう」と仮定法過去完了なので、If節もこれに合わせて「had＋過去分詞」の形で作る。 3. Part V； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 To my regret, not only Mr. Wilson but also his boss _______ on a business trip then. (A) were (B) had been (C) has been (D) was 訳；残念なことに、ウィルソン氏だけでなく、彼の上司までもが、そのとき出張中であった。 ※正解(D)。《解説》相関接続詞not only A but also B「AだけでなくBもまた」の構文では、これが主語に来た場合、動詞はBに一致させる。Bにあたるのは、ここではhis boss「彼の上司」で単数名詞である。なお、then「そのとき」があるので、時制は過去形が適当で、(B) や (C) の完了時制は不適当。 4. Part V； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Like the tropical forests _______ they are frequently compared, reefs are repositories of vast biological wealth. (A) to which (B) in order (C) with that (D) in which 訳；よく比較される熱帯の森林のように、珊瑚礁はおびただしい生物の宝庫である。 ※正解(A)。《解説》comparedはbe compared to[with] 〜の形で「〜と比較される」の意味になる。the tropical forests「熱帯の森林」を先行詞とする関係代名詞を空所に入れることになるが、この場合compared につく前置詞（toないしwith）が関係代名詞の前に場所を移す形になる。 《選択肢》 (C) は関係詞のthatはその前に前置詞を置くことはできないので誤り。 5. Part V； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 She _______ that she had forgotten to mail the letters. (A) permitted (B) admitted (C) attempted (D) acquitted 訳；彼女は手紙を出すのを忘れたことを認めました。 ※正解(B)。「認める」の意味の動詞を選びます。permit は「許可する」。attempt は「試みる」。acquit は「釈放する」。admit は通例自分に都合の悪いことをしぶしぶ認めるような場合に用いられます。 6. Part V； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 It _______ be better if you transfer the funds directly to our bank. (A) could (B) might (C) shall (D) perhaps 訳；資金を直接当行に移しかえていただいた方が良いかもしれません。 ※正解(B)。まず、perhaps は副詞であるので、ここには入らない（後ろに原形の be があるので）ことを理解したい。後は意味上どれが一番適切かを判断するしかありません。 7. Part V； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 This is to _______ you that our Nagoya office will open in May. (A) impress (B) announce (C) inform (D) address 訳；当社名古屋支店が 5 月に開店することをお知らせいたします。 ※正解(C)。impress と address は意味上不自然。announce は announce that ... の形をとるか、または announce the opening of ... の形であれば可。inform は動詞＋目的語＋ that ... の形をとることができる。 (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 minister ship 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 World population reaches 7 billion (その4：全4回シリーズ) Michal Rutkowski is the director of human development in South Asia at the World Bank. He says the seven billionth person was likely to be a girl, born in rural Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh is one of India's poorest and most crowded states, with nearly 200 million people. He says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to action. III - a. 雑知識

Our five-year-old grandson, Rhys, launched himself off the end of the neighbor's porch. It resulted in a split forehead, a fractured left arm and bruises on his stomach and both his knees. After returning from the emergency room of the hospital, his mum asked him what he had learned about jumping off porches. "I can't do it again," Rhys replied, "until the cast comes off." b.

"Mum," he asked, "is Troy having a baby?" d. When a distant relative of mine passed away recently, I thought it was time to introduce the concept of death to my five-year-old daughter, Amy. I reminded her of the time we spent at his farm and the loss we face now. "It's very sad, your Uncle George is dead," I said. "Now when you go to the farm you won't be getting any fresh milk." Amy, with a look of utter disbelief, replied, "Wow! You mean Uncle George made all that milk? I thought it was the cows." |
