I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 If we _______ to the store last week, we wouldn't have missed the sale. (A) were to go (B) had gone (C) would go (D) have gone 訳；もし先週にその店に行っていれば、セールを逃さなかったのに。 ※正解(B)。仮定法過去完了。wouldn't have missed は「あの時」のニュアンスを持っているので、If ... の節も「もしあの時」の意味を持たねばならず、過去完了の形になります。 2. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 The manager wanted the new secretary _______ the letters by 5:00. (A) will finish (B) finishing (C) could finish (D) to finish 訳；支配人は新しい秘書に 5 時までに手紙を書き終えてほしかった。 ※正解(D)。want ＋人＋ to ... の形で、「人に…してほしい」の意味。want はふつう that 節を伴うことはないので(A)や(C)は誤り。特に(A)では時制も合っていません。want ＋目的語＋ ...ing の形は通例否定文で用います。 3. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 We suggest that you get in touch _______ our Dallas office on that. (A) to (B) by (C) with (D) for 訳；その件については、当社のダラス支店に連絡を取られることをお勧めします。 ※正解(C)。「…と連絡をとる」（＝ contact）の意味になる熟語を考えます。in touch の部分が「連絡を取り合って」の意味を作っています。他に keep in touch with ...「…と連絡を続ける」等も知っておくとよいでしょう。 4. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 We are writing to _______ that the renewal date has been extended. (A) have reminded you (B) remind to you (C) remind you (D) reminding you 訳；更新時期が延長されたことの確認のためのお手紙を差し上げています。 ※正解(C)。have reminded you は時制が不自然。"to" の後ろはこの文では原形でなければならず、reminding you は不可。remind「思い出させる」の語法が問題。 5. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 If I had been there I could have _______. (A) been help (B) helped (C) helping (D) helpful 訳；もし私がそこにいたら、手伝うことができたのに。 ※正解(B)。If I had been という if 節から、主節は過去の事実に反する仮定を表す仮定法過去完了の文になることに注目します。この用法はという形を取ります。正解は、(B) の過去分詞 helped です。 6. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 _______ do you think about the new model? (A) Which (B) What (C) Who (D) Maybe 訳；新しいモデルについてはどう思いますか？ ※正解(B)。What do you think about 〜？ で「〜をどう思いますか？」という決まり文句です。(A) の Which は一定の人・事物の「どれか」という選択を尋ねる場合、(C) の Who は「誰？」と尋ねる疑問詞で、この場合不適切です。 7. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 After checking the laundry, I found the colors _______ (A) had run (B) running (C) runner (D) run 訳；洗濯物を見てみると、色落ちしていることがわかった。 ※正解(A)。この場合の run は「（色などが洗濯で）落ちる」という意味の自動詞です。(B) の running という現在分詞は、この場合は After checking 〜 という副詞節があるので不適切です。(D) の run を原形不定詞と考えると、find は原形不定詞を補語にはとりませんし、run は自動詞なので「〜させられた」という意味で過去分詞ととることもできません。正解は (A) で found の後に that 節 の that が省略された形です。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 Kenneth Starr was an American lawyer ----- rose to prominence during his investigation of then President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s. (A) he (B) who (C) they (D) it ※正解(B)。【解説】 he、they、itでは前後の文が繋がらない。関係代名詞whoを使えばいい。rise to prominence「有名になる」。 2. 空所補充問題 In grammatical terms, a transitive verb ----- the passive or active voice. (A) may be used in either (B) to be used in either may (C) used in either may be to (D) to either may be used in ※正解(A)。【解説】 空所にはこの文の動詞が入る。したがって、to不定詞の(B)と(D)は不可。(C)の語順は明らかにおかしい。正解は(A)である。transitive verb「他動詞」。 3. 空所補充問題 The population of London ----- 1 million for the first time in 1811. (A) got (B) arrived (C) achieved (D) reached ※正解(D)。【解説】 「……に達した」という意味にするにはreachを使う。get、arriveともに前置詞が必要である。achieveは「達成する、成し遂げる」という意味。 4. 空所補充問題 The work of major Victorian poet Gerard Manley Hopkins ----- until 1918. (A) virtually unknown was (B) unknown was virtually (C) was virtually unknown (D) unknown virtually was ※正解(C)。【解説】 was knownの語順にすることはすぐに分かるだろう。副詞virtually「ほとんど」の位置は？ 過去分詞knownの前である。 5. 空所補充問題 Archaeologists ----- for the intact skeletons of extinct wooly mammoths buried under frozen tundra often use hair driers to thaw the surrounding ground. (A) search (B) searching (C) they search (D) to be searched ※正解(B)。【解説】 この文の動詞はuseである。したがって、searchは使えない。they searchを使うと主語がダブってしまう。to be searched forでは意味が通らない。正解は、分詞searchingである。archaeologist「考古学者」、intact「損なわれていない」、tundra「ツンドラ」。 6. 正誤問題 The first nonstop (A)round-the-world flight (B)relied on in-flight (C)refueling and (D)takes 94 hours, 1 minute. ※正解(D)。【解説】 takes → took。reliedからも分かるようにこれは過去形の文である。takesをtookにしなければいけない。round-the-world「世界一周の」、in-flight refueling「空中給油」。 7. 正誤問題 In 1937, broadcasters (A)honored Guglielmo Marconi, (B)inventor of the radio, (C)let the airwaves (D)fall silent for two minutes. ※正解(C)。【解説】 let → letting。honoredはこの文の主語である。この場合inventorの前の冠詞は必要ない。letのままでは動詞が２つあることになる。ここはlettingと分詞構文にする。let... fallになっているので、fallは原形のままでいい。 8. 正誤問題 The long dispute (A)between the Northern and Southern United States (B)over whether slavery should continue (C)came to (D)head after the Mexican War ended in 1848. ※正解(D)。【解説】 head → a head。前置詞betweenとoverの用法に問題はない。come to a headで「山場を迎える」の意味になる。headの前のaが落ちていたのである。dispute「議論、論争」。 9. 正誤問題 In 1966, Poland celebrated (A)the1,000th anniversary of (B)its (C)found and conversion (D)to Christianity. ※正解(C)。【解説】 found → founding。【解説】冠詞theに問題はない。itsはPolandを受けている。foundはここではfoundingにしなければ「建国、創建」の意味にはならない。conversion to... 「……への改宗、転換」。 10. 正誤問題 (A)After more calories (B)than necessary are ingested, the body stores the energy in fat cells, (C)that can be metabolized (D)when needed. ※正解(C)。【解説】 that → which。難しい構文だが、関係代名詞のthatに注目。その前にカンマがあるので、thatではなくwhichを用いる。ingest「摂取する」、metabolize「新陳代謝させる」。 II. 時事英文 World Press Freedom Day 2012 (その3：全4回シリーズ) This day also serves as a reminder to professionals of their responsibility to society, and of the importance of maintaining professional ethics. It is a day of support for media which are targets for the censorship, or abolition of press freedom. And it is also a day of remembrance for those journalists who lost their lives in the exercise of their profession. Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino once said that "Freedom of the press guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of democracy."
