I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ； Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Mr. Brown must have called it a day, _______ I saw him locking his office door. (A) until (B) despite (C) because (D) even although 訳； ブラウンさんはきっと仕事を切り上げたんでしょう。事務所のドアにカギをかけているところを見ましたから。 ※正解(C)。 【着眼点】「must＋have＋過去分詞 (called) 」は過去の事柄に関する現在の推量を表し「〜したに違いない」の意。call it a dayは「（その日の仕事などを）切り上げる」の意。「仕事を切り上げたに違いない」と推量することと「事務所のドアにカギをかけているところを見た」ということの関連性を考えると、後者は前者のように推量することの根拠・理由として述べられていることがわかる。 【選択肢】(B) は前置詞。(D) のevenはalthoughと結びつくこと自体ない。 2. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 _______ you work all night, you won't finish by the morning. (A) Even (B) Even if (C) Furthermore (D) Nevertheless 訳； たとえ徹夜でやっても、朝までに仕上がることはないだろう。 ※正解(B)。 【着眼点】文頭にきて後続する2つの節を文法的・意味的に結合できるのは従位接続詞のifを含む (B) のみ。even if 〜 は「たとえ〜でも」の意。 【選択肢】evenだけが独立して従位接続詞機能を果たすことはない。furthermore（さらにその上に）やnevertheless（それにもかかわらず）は、「前に言われたこと」とのつながりを示すもので、後続する2つの節どうしをこれらによって結ぶことはできない。 3. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 The man you just asked about is sitting near the window _______ the host and his wife. (A) among (B) besides (C) between (D) closely 訳； あなたが今し方お尋ねになった方は、窓の近くでホスト夫妻にはさまれて座っているあの方です。 ※正解(C)。【着眼点】消去法でいくと、amongは3人以上に用いるから (A) は不可。besidesには位置関係の近さを表す用法はないから (B) も不可。closelyは副詞で問題外。ということで正解は (C) となる。英語では、このようにまずnear the windowと大まかなほうを言って、続くbetween the host and his wifeで絞り込む、という形が好まれる （cf. out in the garden）。 4. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 In that area a lot of people carry concealed weapons _______ being attacked by bandits. (A) in case (B) just in case (C) in any case (D) in case of 訳； その地域では、追いはぎに遭ったときの用心に多くの人が武器を隠し持って歩いている。 ※正解(D)。 【着眼点】空所の後の -ing形（動名詞）とうまくつながるものをさがすと、群前置詞の (D) となる。in case of 〜は「〜に備えて、〜の用心のために」ということで、この意の場合は文の後半に位置するのが通例。もう1つ「〜の場合は、〜が起こったら」の意もあるが、その場合は文頭がふつう。 【選択肢】(A) はifの意の群接続詞または「万一に備えて」の意の副詞句。(B) は副詞句としての (A) にjustがついたもの。(C) は「とにかく、いずれにせよ」の意の副詞句。 5. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 We regret that _______ the typhoon we were not able to finish the project on time. (A) due for (B) owing from (C) because of (D) because 訳； 台風のためにプロジェクトが予定どおり終了できなかったのが残念である。 ※正解(C)。【着眼点】「台風のために」の意を伝える正しい群前置詞を選ぶ問題。 【選択肢】dueとowingはいずれもtoと結びついて「〜のために」の意になる。(D) のbecauseは接続詞。 6. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 I'm getting a little worried about Bill because I haven't heard from him _______. (A) lately (B) on late (C) nowadays (D) in these days 訳； このところビルから連絡がないので少し心配になってきてるところだ。 ※正解(A)。【着眼点】「このところ彼から連絡がない」という文脈。latelyは「最近」の意で通例完了形とともに用いる。 【選択肢】(B) はof late（=lately）なら可。(C) は「今日［当節］の」の意の形容詞。「今日［近頃］では」はthese daysとは言うがinはつけない（ → cf. in those days）。 7. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 The new phone system will allow us to contact our branches _______. (A) directional (B) directive (C) director (D) directly 訳； その新しい電話システムは支店と直に連絡をとることを可能にしてくれるだろう。 ※正解(D)。【着眼点】動詞のcontact（〜に連絡する）を修飾する副詞を選ぶ問題。接尾辞から容易に判断できる。 【選択肢】(A), (B) は形容詞語尾をもっている。(C) は副詞のdirectを比較級にしたつもりかもしれないが、副詞の場合この形はない（※最上級のdirectestは時に使われることもある）。なお、形容詞の場合はmore型と -er型両方の比較変化がある。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 The style of music ----- hymns in the German Protestant church tradition is known as chorale. (A) accompanies (B) accompany (C) accompanied (D) accompanying ※正解(D)。【解説】 この文の動詞はis known ... である。(A) (B) (C)を空所に入れると動詞がダブることになる。正解はthat/which accompaniesの意味を表す(D) accompanying（分詞）である。 2. 空所補充問題 The flavors of tea ----- by the infusion of aromatic chemicals of the leaf into warm water. (A) they produce (B) that are producing (C) are produced (D) producing ※正解(C)。【解説】 空所以下には動詞がないことから、(A) (B) (D)は正解とはならない。正解は受身形の(C)である。infusion「煎じ出し」。 3. 空所補充問題 The abolitionists differed from people who held more moderate anti-slavery views in that they insisted ----- an immediate end to the practice of slavery. (A) on (B) in (C) to (D) for ※正解(A)。【解説】 insist「主張する」の後に来る前置詞はonである。abolitionists「奴隷制度廃止論者」。 4. 空所補充問題 Marilyn Monroe was the stage name of an actress whose real name ----- Norma Jean Mortenson. (A) is (B) has (C) were (D) was ※正解(D)。【解説】 過去の事柄に関する文なのでis、hasは使えない。正解は過去・単数形の(D)。 5. 空所補充問題 The letters assigned to vitamins, ----- as "A", "B" and "C", are an artifact of the historical sequence of their discovery rather than an indication of their chemical composition. (A) that (B) those (C) such (D) like ※正解(C)。【解説】 as以下でビタミンに割り当てられた文字の具体例が挙げられているので、suchを空所に入れればsuch as... 「……のような」の意味になり文が繋がる。artifact「人工的なもの」。 6. 正誤問題 (A)Thanks to modern surgical techniques, it is (B)very often possible to reattach severed limbs (C)which the patient (D)receives proper emergency medical care. ※正解(C)。【解説】 which → when。Thanks to... は「……のお陰で」、very oftenは「頻繁に」の意味。関係代名詞whichでは前後の文が繋がらない。whichの代わりにwhenを使えばいい。receivesに問題はない。 7. 正誤問題 (A)Less than two hours after President John F. Kennedy was (B)assassinated, Lyndon B. Johnson took the presidential oath of (C)office in a (D)sadly, solemn ceremony. ※正解(D)。【解説】 sadly → sad。Less than「……しないうちに」、be assassinated「暗殺される」の用法に問題はない。officeの前に冠詞は必要ない。sadlyの後にカンマがあることからもわかるように、ここでは形容詞sadを用いる。solemn「厳粛な」。 8. 正誤問題 The science of artificial intelligence (A)involves the study of computer systems (B)that (C)perform tasks that seem to (D)acquire consciousness. ※正解(D)。【解説】 acquire → require。involves「……を含む、伴う」、関係代名詞that、perform「行う」に誤りはない。acquire「獲得する」ではなくrequire「必要とする」を用いなければ意味が通らない。 9. 正誤問題 The work of Raphael, (A)one of the greatest and most influential painters of the Italian Renaissance, (B)he influenced artists (C)up to the early (D)1900's. ※正解(B)。【解説】 he → カット。one of the greatestに問題はない。he influencedのheは余分である。up to the early 1900'sで「1900年代初期まで」の意味になる。 10. 正誤問題 Canberra, (A)a capital of Australia, is (B)that country's (C)leading example of (D)large-scale city planning. ※正解(A)。【解説】 a capital → the capital。Canberraはオーストラリアの首都（ひとつだけ）である。冠詞はaではなくtheを用いる。代名詞that、leading「すぐれた、主要な」、large-scale「大規模な」に誤りはない。 II. 時事英文 Clinton In Mongolia (その4：全5回シリーズ) After 10 years focusing on the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States is rebalancing toward Asia by increasing diplomatic, economic, cultural and strategic investments in the region. "We want to help build an open, stable, and just regional order in the Asia Pacific based on norms and institutions that benefit all nations and all peoples," Secretary Clinton said. "Our strategy incorporates three broad dimensions of America's engagement - security, economic, and common values ...

Jokes a. A man in church enters the confessional and is pleasantly surprised to see a fully stocked bar with Guinness on tap. On another wall is a dazzling array of the finest Cuban cigars and a high-definition TV set. "Forgive me, Father," he says. "It's been a long time since I've been to confession.

Later, the customer passes the boy, who is standing outside a lolly shop. "Why did you take the two 20¢pieces and not the dollar?" he asks. "Because," says the boy, "the day I take the dollar, the game's over." d. I was visiting my daughter in Houston. Her toddler son. My grandson Hamza, is a friendly and exuberant child, and he had just made friends with the next door neighbor's little daughter. One day, in his childish enthusiasm, he started picking on her, snatching her toy and pushing her as she tried to get it back. She yelled, "Hamza is hitting me!" My daughter came rushing out. To pacify matters, she said to the little girl, "Hamza is just showing his love for you." The girl left with her toy and went back into her house. The next morning, I saw her sitting alone on her doorsteps. I invited her in, saying, "Why don't you come in and play with Hamza?" She shook her head and said, "Sorry auntie, but Hamza loves me too much." e. I was sound asleep when the telephone jarred me awake. "Hi!" It was my peppy mother-in-law.

"What are you doing up so early?" |
