I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Those _______ looking clouds mean a storm is coming. (A) mysterious (B) ominous (C) menace (D) trouble 訳；あの不吉な雲は嵐が来ることを示している。 ※正解(B)。知っている単語で、意味が不自然なものから除去する。menace は「脅威」。 2. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Her husband was _______ to her plans for divorce. (A) knowledge (B) scheming (C) oblivious (D) secret 訳；彼女の夫は、彼女の離婚の計画に関心がなかった。 ※正解(C)。「人＋ was ... to 〜」のパターンにあてはまる語をさがし出す。be oblivious to ... で、「…に無関心な」の意。 3. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Everyone at the party was in a _______ mood. (A) festive (B) fertile (C) furtive (D) furious 訳；パーティーの全員がお祭りムードでした。 ※正解(A)。party での話だから、fury「怒り」から派生している語よりも、festival「祭り」に関連した語を選びたい。 4. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Those kids have got to understand that their homework is an _______. (A) obligate (B) obligation (C) obligator (D) oblige 訳；あの子たちは宿題が義務であることを判らなければいけない。 ※正解(B)。 「義務」という意味の名詞になるように語尾を考える。 5. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 The new lighting system in the studio _______ very beautiful. (A) are (B) is (C) is being (D) were 訳；スタジオの新しい照明システムは大変に美しい。 ※正解(B)。主語の単複を考える。system が本主語で、単数形。それ以上は何も難しく考える必要はない。 6. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 These are the types of problems that _______ eliminated before production begins. (A) need (B) need to be (C) needs to be (D) necessary to be 訳；これらが生産を開始する前に取り除かれなければならない問題の種類です。 ※正解(B)。関係代名詞 that の示すものは types で複数形であるから、(C)needs は続かない。eliminated「取り除かれる」と受け身のニュアンスであるので、前に be 動詞があると推測できる。 7. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 When I returned home I discovered that I _______ my wallet at the party. (A) leave (B) did leave (C) left (D) had left 訳；家に帰った時、財布をパーティーに忘れてきたことが判りました。 ※正解(D)。全体が過去形で統一されているので、(A)は不可。(C)はleaveの過去および過去分詞。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 It is thought that there are thousands of as yet undiscovered shipwrecks ----- much about history if we could only locate and examine them. (A) could it tell us (B) it could tell us that (C) could tell that us (D) that could tell us ※正解(D)。【解説】 前にthere are... があるので空所にそのままcouldで始まる語句を入れることはできない。it could tell that us... ではitが何のことだか分からない。正解は関係代名詞を含む(D) that could tell usである。shipwreck「難破船」。 2. 空所補充問題 Police forces normally maintain teams of negotiators who are experts ----- with armed hostage takers. (A) dealt (B) to deal (C) in dealing (D) for to deal ※正解(C)。【解説】 expertの後に前置詞inと動名詞を続けて「……をする専門家」の意味になる。正解は(C)。hostage「人質」。 3. 空所補充問題 Passengers aboard the Titanic must ----- by the belief that she was an unsinkable ship. (A) have been comforted (B) been comforting (C) comforting (D) comforted ※正解(A)。【解説】 助動詞mustの後にbeen comforting、comforting、comfortedが使えないのは明らか。must have been comforted by ... で「……によりほっとしていた（安心していた）に違いなかった」の意味になる。unsinkable「沈没しない」。 4. 空所補充問題 'Ibis' is the common name for ----- of about 30 different long-legged aquatic birds of the same order as storks. (A) the (B) them (C) such (D) any ※正解(D)。【解説】 theが使えないのは明らか。them、suchでは次のofと繋がらない。正解はany of... である。ibis「トキ」、aquatic bird「水鳥」、order「（動物分類上の）目（もく）」、stork「コウノトリ」。 5. 空所補充問題 By 1945, most battleships ----- with sonar and radar, but these instruments were still in their early stages of development, and tended to be unreliable. (A) equipped (B) were equipped (C) had equipped (D) did equip ※正解(B)。【解説】 他動詞equipはbe equipped with ... で「……を装備している」の意味になる。正解は(B)。battleship「戦艦」、sonar「ソナー（水中音波探知機）」。 6. 正誤問題 The Utrecht School was (A)a trend (B)in visual art (C)advanced (D)primary by Dutch painters. ※正解(D)。【解説】 primary → primarily。trend「トレンド、流行」は可算名詞。前置詞inに問題はない。advancedの前にはthat/which wasが略されている。「主に」の意味にするにはprimarilyと副詞形を用いなくてはいけない。 7. 正誤問題 Liberty Island, (A)off the southern tip of Manhattan, was officially (B)knowing (C)as Bedloe's Island (D)until 1956. ※正解(B)。【解説】 knowing → known。offは「離れた」の意味。be known as... で「 ……として知られていた」の意味になるので、knowingが間違っている。前置詞untilに問題はない。 8. 正誤問題 (A)When the moist, starchy center of a popcorn kernel is (B)heated, the water inside turns to vapor, (C)creates (D)enough expansion pressure to burst the hard outer shell. ※正解(C)。【解説】 create → creating。接続詞when、受動態heatedの用法に誤りはない。the water inside turns to vapor, creates... と動詞が並列されているので、creating（分詞）にしなければ文が繋がらない。and creates... でもいい。enough「十分な」の位置に問題はない。 9. 正誤問題 (A)Thanks to the science of hydroponics, scientists now know (B)how to grow (C)wide range of (D)crops without the use of soil. ※正解(C)。【解説】 wide range → a wide range。Thanks to... 「……のお陰で」、how to... に問題はない。rangeは可算名詞なので、wideの前に冠詞aが必要になる。crops「作物」。 10. 正誤問題 Civil wars, fighting between groups (A)with a country, (B)have a tendency to expand (C)into international conflicts when neighboring countries have (D)a strong interest in the outcome. ※正解(A)。【解説】 with → within。Civil warsとは「（国における）内戦」のことなので、withではなくwithin「……の中で」にしなければ意味が通らない。conflict「紛争」。 II. 時事英文 Human Rights Still Suffer In Cuba (その3：全5回シリーズ) But problems persist in many countries and overall there are a number of disturbing trends. Flawed elections, restrictions on the freedom of expression, assembly, or association, censorship or intimidation of the media and attempts to control the activities of civil society and non-governmental groups indicate erosion of respect for human rights in some countries.
