(A) are (B) did (C) will (D) would 訳； すぐに在庫を全部売らなければ、私たちはすべてを失うでしょう。 ※正解(C)。lose が原形動詞なので(A)は不可。意味上(B)も無理がある。If に続く節が don't なので、(D)would にする必要はない。 5.

(A) whom (B) who's (C) whose (D) who 訳； 新しい支部長が誰になるのか探らなくてはならない。 ※正解(D)。「誰が…だ」という時の疑問代名詞。あとの will be という（助）動詞に対する主格が必要。 6. Part V; Incomplete Sentence練習問題 In the commotion, the diamond ring _______.

(A) vehicles are fast-moving (B) vehicles are moving fast (C) vehicles move fast (D) fast-moving vehicles ※正解(D)。【解説】 allow ... to〜で「... に〜することを可能にする」の意味。allowの後には名詞（句）が来ることになる。したがって、正解はfast-moving vehiclesである。他の選択肢には動詞が入っているので不可となる。 2. 空所補充問題 Although the United Nations ------ of vital importance to world peace, many governments do not take it very seriously. (A) are (B) were (C) is (D) are that ※正解(C)。【解説】 the United Nations「国連」は単数である。当然、be動詞はisになる。 3. 空所補充問題 Crocodiles are often mistaken for alligators, ------ they are similar in many ways. (A) in spite of (B) because (C) regardless (D) due to ※正解(B)。【解説】 選択肢の中で、２つの文を繋ぐことが出来る接続詞はbecauseだけである。in spite ofとdue toは前置詞句、regardless「不注意な」は形容詞。 4. 空所補充問題 Some people believe that sending a man to Mars would be a noble undertaking, while others think ------ pure science fiction. (A) it would have been (B) it's (C) it will be (D) it had to be ※正解(B)。【解説】 前半は仮定法「... だろう」の文になっている。空所にit'sが入れば、「... だ」と考えを述べていることになる。 5. 空所補充問題 ------ one of the world's largest collections of historical artifacts. (A) At the Smithsonian Museum (B) It is the Smithsonian Museum (C) The Smithsonian Museum, with (D) The Smithsonian Museum has ※正解(D)。【解説】 空所の後に来る語句から、空所には主語と動詞が入ることが分かる。It is the Smithsonian Museumでは、その後にone of ... と名詞が続くことになる。正解はThe Smithsonian Museum hasである。 6. 正誤問題 Many drivers carry a (A)10-gallons can of gasoline in the trunk (B)in case they (C)run out of fuel (D)on a long trip. ※正解(A)。【解説】 a 10-gallons canのように、10とgallonsの間にハイフンを入れて形容詞として用いる場合には、複数形は単数形にするというルールがある。したがって、ここではa 10-gallon canとしなければならない。 7. 正誤問題 (A)Throughout history, societies (B)all over the world have built giant statues, such as (C)Statue of Liberty, to represent ideas and values they (D)hold dear. ※正解(C)。【解説】 「自由の女神像」はthe Statue of Libertyと言う。問題文では冠詞theが抜けている。 8. 正誤問題 Meteorologists (A)talk that in the open ocean, seismic sea waves often have (B)wavelengths of (C)up to several hundred miles, but heights of (D)less than 3 ft. ※正解(A)。【解説】 talkの直後にthat節を続ける用法はない。ここはsay that ... としなければならない。 9. 正誤問題 Ants are capable (A)to lift objects that (B)weigh (C)far more than (D)themselves. ※正解(A)。【解説】 capableの後に動詞を続ける場合には、「前置詞of＋動名詞」という形にする。ここではto liftではなくof liftingにする。 10. 正誤問題 Jumbo jets usually have heaters (A)inside the wings to (B)prevent the (C)form of ice (D)on the outer wing surface. ※正解(C)。【解説】 formは「形」の意味。ここではformation「形成」にしなければ文意が成立しない。 II. 時事英文 International Anti-Corruption Day 2012 (その2：全7回シリーズ) Corruption is one of the world's greatest challenges, a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries.
