(A) approval (B) approve (C) approved (D) approving 訳 副作用の懸念があるため、連邦薬物安全局は新薬の認可を延期した。 ※正解(A)。解説 代名詞itsと前置詞ofに挟まれていることから、空所には名詞が入ると判断できるので、(A)のapproval（認可）が正答になります。 '2.

The politician came out in support ------- the plan to renovate all public schools in the city within five years.

ABCニュースから Keyword 解説 ABCニュースは、ホワイトハウスのフェンスを乗り越えて建物に侵入した男が逮捕されたと伝えています。 Another black eye for the Secret Service. 「シークレットサービスがまたもや失態を起こした」。 キーワードは、black eye「失態」。 もともとは殴られるなどして目の周りにできた黒いあざ。 「不名誉なこと、恥」。 make it throughで「首尾よく通り抜ける」、 breachで「侵害、突破されること」。 impedeで「妨げる」。 ABCニュースは、侵入者が大統領のliving quarters「居住区域」の間近まで入り込んだと伝えています。 今回のキーワードは、black eye「失態」です。 [例文] And from Washington tonight, another black eye for the Secret Service, now pledging to review how an armed Iraq war vet made it through the unlocked front door of the White House and got inside, the unlocked front door of the White House and got inside, just one flight of stairs away from the President's living quarters. シークレットサービスがまたも失態だ 武器を所持した退役軍人が-鍵の開いた玄関からホワイトハウスに侵入 大統領の居住区の間近まで入り込んだ An armed man, carrying a three-and-a-half-inch folding knife in his pocket, not only jumped the 9-foot White House fence, but ran 100 yards across the lawn and made it inside one of the most secure buildings in the world. 折り畳みナイフをポケットに入れた男が- ホワイトハウスの柵を乗り越え庭を横切り- 世界一警備の厳しい建物に侵入 Critical questions remain: Why weren't dogs used to impede him? なぜ犬を使って止めなかったのか？ Why couldn't agents responding from the perimeter of the White House tackle him outside? なぜ警護官は男を捕まえられなかったのか？ And why was the front door unlocked? 鍵が開いていた理由は？ Despite the breach, the President who had left only minutes earlier says he still has full confidence in the Secret Service. 大統領は今でもシークレットサービスを信頼していると話す IV. Jokes '1. The Good Old Days I have no respect for gangs today. They just drive by and shoot people. At least in the old days, like in West Side Story, the gangs used to dance with each other first. '2. Marking Time My sister and I decided to reframe a favorite photograph of our mother and father from when they were dating, some 60 years ago. After removing the picture from the frame, I turned it over, hoping to find a date. I didn't. Instead, my mother had written, "128 lbs." '3. Blind Date "How was your blind date?" "Terrible! He showed up in a 1932 Rolls-Royce." "What's so terrible about that?" "He was the original owner." |
