I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Are you sure we ought _______ this on the air later tonight? (A) to show (B) to be shown (C) have shown (D) show 訳；これを今晩遅くに放送するべきだと本当に思いますか？ ※正解(A)。ought は後ろにがくるので (C)、(D) は不適切です。(B) は受動態で、「〜されるべきだ」という意味。 2. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 He asked me to check all _______ major hotels while I was there. (A) a (B) an (C) the (D) some 訳；そこにいる間に、すべての一流ホテルを調べるように彼に頼まれた。 ※正解(C)。で、その名詞の指すものすべてを表します。したがって、正解は (C) です。all は the の前にくるという語順に注意してください。 3. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Show me that report when he _______ out of the room. (A) goes (B) will go (C) is gone (D) went 訳；彼が部屋から出ていったら、そのレポートを見せてよ。 ※正解(A)。彼が「部屋から出ていく」のは未来のことですが、when を使った「時」を表す副詞節の中では、未来のことでも現在形で表します。したがって、正解は (A) になります。I don't know when he will come back.「彼がいつ帰るかわかりません」など、名詞節のときは未来形を使いますから、注意しましょう。 4. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 These _______ distributed at next week's meeting. (A) were (B) have been (C) will (D) are being 訳；これは来週の会議で配布されます。 ※正解(D)。「来週の会議で」という未来の内容を表す副詞句がヒントです。(A) の過去形や (B) の現在完了では不適切です。また、(C) の未来を表す助動詞 will の後には distributed はきません。正解は (D) で、受動態の進行形で未来を表しています。 5. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 I'm sorry we were so late. The train was _______. (A) been delayed (B) delay (C) delayed (D) delaying 訳；遅れてすみません。電車が遅れたんです。 ※正解(C)。delay は「遅らせる」という意味の他動詞です。ここでは the train が主語なので受動態になります。(A) や (B) では直前の be 動詞の was につながりません。 6. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 You'd better hit the _______ if you want to pass that exam. (A) roof (B) bottle (C) books (D) road 訳；その試験に合格したいなら、猛勉強しなさい。 ※正解(C)。どの選択肢にも hit と結びついたイディオムがあるので、それぞれの意味を知らなければ迷うかもしれません。正解は(C) の hit the books で「（猛烈に）勉強する」です。Hit the roof は「かんしゃくを起こす；（物価などが）うなぎ登りに上がる」、hit the bottle は「大酒を飲む」、hit the road は「（車などで）出かける；旅に出る」という意味です。 7. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Come on, we've finished now. Let's call it a _______. (A) day (B) spade (C) completion (D) job 訳；さあ、やっと終わったぞ。今日はこれで切り上げよう。 ※正解(A)。call it a day は口語で「（その日の仕事などを）終わりにする、切り上げる」という意味です。(B) spade は農具の「すき」という意味で、call a spade a spade「そのものをずばりと言う」というイディオムがあります。(C) は complete「〜を完成する」の名詞形です。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 Defined legally, a guardian is a person appointed by a court ----- another person, who is called a ward. (A) caring for (B) cared for (C) to care for (D) care for ※正解(C)。【解説】 a person who is appointed by a court to care for... のwho isが略されている。be appointed to... で「……するために任命される」の意味。guardian「後見人」。 2. 空所補充問題 It was in To Have and Have Not, the first movie Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall starred in together, ----- Bacall uttered her famous line "If you need anything, just whistle." (A) that (B) where (C) which (D) who ※正解(A)。【解説】 空所の前のカンマに惑わされてはいけない。ここは関係代名詞whichではなく接続詞thatを用いる。この文はIt... that〜の強調構文である。 3. 空所補充問題 The League of United Latin American Citizens, ----- in 1929 in Texas, is an organization of Spanish-speaking people in the United States. (A) found (B) founded (C) to found (D) founding ※正解(B)。【解説】 The League「同盟、連盟」が発見されたのではなく、創設された(founded)のである。空所の前にwhich wasを補って考える。 4. 空所補充問題 If the sun's energy output ----- by as little as five to seven percent, the result would be a global biological catastrophe. (A) were being to vary (B) been varying (C) would be varying (D) were to vary ※正解(D)。【解説】 were being to varyとbeen varyingが空所に入らないのはすぐに分かるだろう。これは仮定法の文だがwould be varyingとvaryを進行形にする必要はない。were to ... で「もし……するとしたら」の意味になる。catastrophe「大惨事、大災害」。 5. 空所補充問題 "James" is ----- a common name that it identifies two English kings and five monarchs of Scotland. (A) so (B) such (C) very (D) much ※正解(B)。【解説】 冠詞aの前にveryとmuchは使えない。soも同様である。a common name that...で「とてもよくある名前なので……」の意味なる。 6. 正誤問題 (A)Ever since the earliest (B)existing texts were set down, writers have always used (C)similes or metaphors to get a point (D)around. ※正解(D)。【解説】 around → across。「（人に）分からせる、伝える」の意味にするにはaroundではなくacrossを用いる。simile「直喩」、metaphor「隠喩」。 7. 正誤問題 (A)The ceboid monkeys, (B)which include the marmosets and (C)tamarins, are native (D)of South and Central America. ※正解(D)。【解説】 of → to。冠詞The、関係代名詞whichと動詞includeの用法に問題はない。tamarins（サルの一種）の前に冠詞theは必要ない。be native to... で「……原産の」という意味。 8. 正誤問題 Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are (A)Brazil's largest cities, (B)with populations of (C)over 17 million and 6 million, (D)respectfully. ※正解(D)。【解説】 respectfully → respectively。respectfullyは「うやうやしく」の意味。ここはrespectively「それぞれ」を使わなくては意味が通らない。 9. 正誤問題 In (A)the early 19th century, Elizabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun (B)is one of the (C)most popular portrait painters in France (D)before the French Revolution. ※正解(B)。【解説】 is → was。文頭にIn the early 19th century「19世紀初期において」があるので、isは過去形wasにしなくてはいけない。 10. 正誤問題 The (A)basis of kinship systems (B)is the concept of descent, (C)that begins (D)with the essential mother-child relationship. ※正解(C)。【解説】 that → which。isはこの文の主語basis「基礎（単数）」に呼応している。関係代名詞thatの前にカンマがあるので、ここはwhichを用いる。前置詞withに問題はない。kinship「親戚関係」。 II. 時事英文 2012 Women Of Courage Awards (その5：全5回シリーズ) All are working tirelessly to improve the lives of women and girls, said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "These women are ... making a difference in the face of adversity, often under the threat of violence that is sometimes hard for those of us here in Washington or across our great country even to imagine.
