I-2 TOEIC, TOEFL 練習問題解答 (1) TOEIC 1. Part V ; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 Not only her children but also her mother _______ in the park. (A) was (B) have been (C) being (D) were 訳; 彼女の子供たちだけでなく、彼女の母親もその公園にいた。 ※正解(A)。 not only 〜 but also ... 「〜だけでなく…もまた」が主語の位置にある場合、動詞は ... に一致させます。したがって、ここでは her mother に呼応する、(A) の was が正解です。 2. 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to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。 3. 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)。all 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。 4. 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。 5. 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。 6. 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。 7. 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。 (2) TOEFL 1. 空所補充問題 Laozi is a legendary figure who ----- one of the basic books of the Chinese philosophy known as Taoism, or Daoism. (A) said is to have written (B) is said to have written (C) is said having to write (D) had said to have been written ※正解(B)。【解説】 「……だと言われている」の意味を表すにはis said to... を使う。この後に完了形have writtenが続くと「……を書いたと言われている」という意味になる。 2. 空所補充問題 Educational psychologists use the knowledge and methods of ----- to study the processes of learning and teaching. (A) psychological (B) psychologically (C) psychology (D) psychologist ※正解(C)。【解説】 空所の後に不定詞toが来ているので、形容詞psychological、副詞psychologicallyが使えないのはすぐに分かる。psychologistを使うならその前に冠詞が必要である。正解は(C)。 3. 空所補充問題 Since the directional orientation of the body has no effect on comfort in a weightless environment, sleeping bags in the International Space Station are vertical to the floor, and ----- to a wall. (A) to be attached (B) attaching (C) attached (D) to attach ※正解(C)。【解説】 andの前にareを補って考え、過去分詞attachedを空所に入れれば「壁に取り付けられている」の意味になる。 4. 空所補充問題 ----- plant material can be used as a soil conditioner known as compost, which helps increase soil fertility. (A) Partial decayed (B) Partially decayed (C) Decayed partially (D) Decayed partial ※正解(B)。【解説】 過去分詞decayed「腐った、腐敗した」を修飾するには副詞partially「部分的に」を用いる。Partially decayedの語順にすれば「部分的に腐った」という意味になる。compost「堆肥」。 5. 空所補充問題 The typical university ----- bachelor's, master's, specialist, and doctoral degrees. (A) to grant (B) granting (C) it grants (D) grants ※正解(D)。【解説】 空所の後にはこの文の動詞に該当する語(句)が見あたらない。したがって、ここには動詞grants「認める、授与する」が入ることになる。 6. 正誤問題 The stomach, small intestine (A)and large intestine (B)are (C)they included (D)in the human digestive tract. ※正解(C)。【解説】 they → カットする。接続詞and、areに問題はない。theyはこの文では必要ない。theyの代わりにall、eachを使ってもいい。be included in... で「……に含まれる」の意味。 7. 正誤問題 A coral reef usually (A)forms in an elongated shape roughly (B)parallel to a shoreline, and is separated (C)from the shore by (D)their lagoon or other body of water. ※正解(D)。【解説】 their → a。forms「形をなす」、parallel to... 「……に平行して」、前置詞fromの用法に問題はない。theirは何を指すのか分からない。ここは冠詞aを用いる。 8. 正誤問題 In 1961, a computer succeeded (A)to the first time ever (B)in generating specifications for the number of components and (C)most efficient wiring plan for (D)another computer. ※正解(A)。【解説】 to → for。前置詞toの後にthe first timeが来ている点に注目。「初めて、最初に」という意味を表すにはtoではなくforを使う。 9. 正誤問題 The process of (A)progressive medical care may begin (B)with intensive care, (C)followed by intermediate care, long-term care, (D)but self care or home-care. ※正解(D)。【解説】 but → and。progressive「段階的な、連続する」、前置詞with、過去分詞followedの用法に問題はない。意味からしてbutはandにしなければならない。 10. 正誤問題 (A)An imperfect rhyme (B)in which two words are (C)spelling similarly but pronounced differently is known in poetry (D)as an eye rhyme. ※正解(C)。【解説】 spelling → spelled。rhymeは可算名詞。前置詞+関係代名詞in whichの用法に問題はない。but以下を見れば、spellingが過去分詞spelledになることが分かる。as「……として」。 II. 時事英文 The candidates debate (その4:全5回シリーズ) Still, the debates are major campaign events, intensely prepared for by the candidates and closely studied by the press. In an age of careful image management and saturation political advertising funded by special interests, they are the few times when the major candidates appear together side by side under conditions they do not control. Along with the Super Bowl, our country's professional football championship game, the debates are among the most widely watched television events of the year. III - a. 雑知識
