問題次の文章は、同䞀の状況に぀いお二人の人物がそれぞれの芳点から述べたものである。文章を読み、䞋の問いの(   )に入れるのに最も適圓なものを、䞋の14のうちから1぀ず぀遞べ。

A Family Trip to the City

Father talking about the trip: Well, I guess the day was a success. It was Sunday and I would rather have stayed at home, but at least we enjoyed the day as a family, and Tom and Cindy got to something they wanted to do. The train ride into town in the morning was pleasantbetter than it is on weekdays. It wasn’t crowded at all and I had plenty of space. Plus, by using the train, I didn’t have to worry about parking. I could even take a little nap on the way home. With all the shopping we did in the afternoon, I needed that nap. Tom always wants to go by car. He says that way you don’t have to carry all the stuff you buy. Either way, shopping always makes me so tired. I can’t stand all the walking, standing and waiting, and I think it is dangerous to drive when you are tired. I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t have time to go to the bookstore. That was the thing I wanted to do the most. But we got winter clothes for the children, which was my wife’s main purpose. Tom was happy that we got to meet the professional ball players. He even got some autographs. And Cindy got some new clothes and a pair of boots. I would have preferred something other than hamburgers and fries for lunch, since this was a chance for my wife and me to enjoy a nice restaurant.

問1
The father enjoyed the train ride because (   ).

1. he didn’t have to stand in line
2. he had enough room to relax
3. it was cheaper on weekends than on weekdays
4. there were not many embarrassing people

【解説】

長文問題ですね。こういった長文問題は本文を読み始める前に、たず蚭問に目を通したしょう。そしおキヌワヌドをもずに、その蚭問の該圓郚分を、本文䞭から芋぀け出すのです。

では蚭問をチェックしたしょう。

The father enjoyed the train ride because (   ).
『父芪は列車の旅を楜しんだ。なぜなら (   )』

たず䞻語が The father ですので、埌半の Daughter talking about the trip: の郚分は読たなくおよいこずが分かりたすね。あずは the train ride に泚目です。この語が本文䞭に出おくれば、その呚蟺に解答のヒントがあるず分かりたす。

では本文を読んでいきたしょう。しばらくするず the train ride が出おきたすね。その呚蟺が問1の該圓郚分になるのです。

the train ride into town in the morning was pleasantbetter than it is on weekdays. It wasn’t crowded at all and I had plenty of space. Plus, by using the train, I didn’t have to worry about parking. I could even take a little nap on the way home.
『午前䞭、町ぞの電車の乗車は、平日のそれ (電車に乗るこず) より楜しかった。たったく混んでいなかったし、空間がたくさんあった。加えお電車を䜿うこずによっお、駐車の心配をする必芁がなかった。垰り道では少しした居眠りさえできた』

では遞択肢を確認しおみたしょう。

1. he didn’t have to stand in line
『圌は列に䞊ぶ必芁がなかった』
2. he had enough room to relax
『圌にはリラックスするための空間が充分あった』
3. it was cheaper on weekends than on weekdays
『平日より週末の方が安かった』
4. there were not many embarrassing people
『迷惑をかける人が倚くはいなかった』

照らし合わせおみればわかりたすね。正解は2.です・・・が、なんか埮劙な感じがしたせんか?

空間が充分あるのは合臎しおいたすが、遞択肢の「リラックスするための」の郚分が曞かれおいたせんね。だからこの郚分だけでは自信を持っお「2だ」ず断蚀しかねるかもしれたせん。(「垰り道では居眠りさえできた」の郚分がそれかな? でも居眠りができたずいうのは、車を䜿わなかったからであっお、空間があったからではないよなぁ・・・)

実はその「リラックスするための」の該圓郚分は、「嚘」郚分にでおきたす。

Dad was happy because he was able to read his newspaper.
『父は新聞を読むこずができお、幞せだった』

新聞を読むこず = リラックス・・・??? 埮劙に感じないわけでもないですが、これがそういうこずでしょう。

ずはいえ、そこたで読んで解答するずいうのは時間がもったいないので、これはやはり「父」の郚分だけで刀断すべき問題です。その埌の問題をする際に「嚘」郚分を読んで、「あぁヌ、やっぱりあの問題はアレで良かった」ず確認するのが正しい手順だず思いたす。

【正解】2

問2

問題次の文章は、同䞀の状況に぀いお二人の人物がそれぞれの芳点から述べたものである。文章を読み、䞋の問いの(   )に入れるのに最も適圓なものを、䞋の14のうちから1぀ず぀遞べ。

A Family Trip to the City

Daughter talking about the trip: The day wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, I always like going into the cityI just don’t like going with Mom and Dad. I especially hate going with my little brother. The train ride was terrible. Dad was happy because he was able to read his newspaper. But it was so embarrassing when he turned the pages. He made so much noise that people turned and looked at us. Um, let’s see
 getting the autographs from the baseball players wasn’t as boring as I thought it was going to be, even though it took up the whole morning. It was part of a special event for fans hosted by a big department store and was a really big deal for my little brother. The autographs kept him happy all day. All he ever thinks about it baseball
and hamburgers! Luckily, it was held at the department store where we went shopping so we didn’t have to go anywhere else. I wanted to shop more for clotheswell, I mean the clothes that I want. Mom made us try on the clothes she chose. She gets really tense and stressed out about getting clothes for us. I never like what she chooses and she won’t let me create my own style. So I was really surprised when, at the last store, she let me pick out a new pair of winter boots in the style that I wanted. I think she is relieved now, because she has winter clothes ready for my brother and me. This is one of the biggest things she has to do each year and now she is finished with it. And it is good that Dad did help her. But we ran out of time and couldn’t stop at the furniture store. Mom and Dad had been talking about getting a new carpet for a long time. So, all in all, the day wasn’t so bad, but next time, I want to choose my own clothes.

問2
The daughter didn’t like the train ride because (   ).
1. her brother didn’t want to carry the bags
2. her father drew the attention of other passengers
3. her father was tired from shopping and took a nap
4. the clothes her mother selected were too heavy to carry

【解説】

The daughter didn’t like the train ride because (   ).
『嚘は列車の旅が奜きではなかった。なぜなら (  )』

蚭問の英文の䞻語が The daughter ですから、芋るべきは Daughter talking about the trip: の郚分であるこずはわかりたすね。

あれあれ? さきほど解いた問1では『父芪は列車の旅を楜しんだ。なぜなら (   )』でしたね。「嚘」は䞀䜓䜕が䞍満なんでしょう?

本文を芋おいくず The train ride was terrible. ずいう英文に出くわしたす。『列車の旅はひどかった』ずいう意味ですね。蚭問のキヌワヌドず察応しおいたすので、この呚蟺にこの問題の該圓郚分があるこずがわかりたす。

続きを読んでいくず But ずいう接続詞が出おきたした。これは「逆接の接続詞」ずいっおセンタヌ詊隓
(に限りたせんが) においお超重芁語で、この埌ろには倧切なこずが曞かれおあるこずが倚いです。ですので長文を読んでいおBut がでおきたら、その埌ろは少しスピヌドを萜ずしおもかたわないので、しっかり意味をずりたしょう。

But it was so embarrassing when he turned the pages.
『しかし、圌 (父芪) が (新聞の) ペヌゞをめくるずき、ずおも恥ずかしかった』

embarrass ずいう単語がやや目新しいでしょうか?

でもその意味がわからなくおも倧䞈倫。ちゃんずその埌の英文でフォロヌがありたす。

He made so much noise that people turned and looked at us.
『圌 (父芪) が倧きな音を立おたので、人が振り返っお私たちを芋た』

これで embarrass ずいう英単語のだいたいの芋圓は぀きたしたでしょうか? もう1぀ヒントをを出したすず But に泚目しおもらうずいいですね。先ほど蚀ったずおり But は「逆接の接続詞」です。぀たりその前ず埌では逆のこずが曞いおあるのです。

But の前には happy なんお単語がありたすね。ずいうこずは But の埌にある embarrass はよいむメヌゞの単語ではないこずがわかりたすね。

そしお新聞でガサガサず倧きな音を立おおみんなに芋られおしたった、(掚定18æ­³) の嚘のこずを考えるず・・・そうです。embarrass の意味は「(人前で) 恥ずかしい思いをさせる / きたり悪がらせる」ずいう意味になりたす。わからない英単語は前埌から掚枬する、ずいうこずですね。

それを螏たえお遞択肢を芋おいきたすず

1. her brother didn’t want to carry the bags
匟が荷物を持ちたがらなかった
2. her father drew the attention of other passengers
父芪が他の乗客の泚目を济びた
3. her father was tired from shopping and took a nap
父芪が買い物に疲れお、居眠りをした
4. the clothes her mother selected were too heavy to carry
母芪が遞んだ服が重すぎお運べなかった

embarrass ずいうこずを考えるず、遞択肢2が正解ですね。

【正解】2

問3
The day’s activities included (   ).

1. a baseball game, a hamburger lunch, and shopping
2. an autograph event, lunch, and clothes shopping
3. an event with some baseball players, a quick lunch, and buying a carpet
4. visits to a bookstore, the furniture store, and an expensive shoe store

【解説】

The day’s activities included (  ).
その日の掻動は  が含たれおいたす

その日はどんなこずをしたしたか? ずいうこずですね。遞択肢を1぀1぀芋ながら確認しおいきたしよう。

1. a baseball game, a hamburger lunch, and shopping

「野球の詊合」・・・野球遞手は来おいたしたが、詊合はありたしたっけ?
「ハンバヌガヌのランチ」・・・お父さんががっかりしおいたしたね。
「ショッピング」・・・なんかいろいろ買っおいたしたね。

2. an autograph event, lunch, and clothes shopping

「an autograph event」・・・本文䞭にもちょこちょこ出おきた autographs ですが、意味わかりたすか? Daughter によれば、野球遞手から get したそうですが・・・
「ランチ」・・・Father によれば、ハンバヌガヌずフラむのランチでしたね。
「服の買い物」・・・お母さんがシンディヌず匟の冬服を遞んだのでしたね。

3. an event with some baseball players, a quick lunch, and buying a carpet

「野球遞手ずのむベント」・・・これはやっおいたしたね。
「簡単な食事」・・・ハンバヌカヌずフラむのランチがそれにあたりたすかね。
「カヌペットの買い物」・・・話はしおいたけれど、家具屋に行けなかった・・・

4. visits to a bookstore, the furniture store, and an expensive shoe store

「本屋に行く」・・・Father によれば、行く時間がなかった、ずいうこずですね。
「家具屋に行く」・・・これも時間がなくおいけなかったですね。
「高玚な靎屋に行く」・・・高玚かどうかはわかりたせんが、Daughter によれば「冬物ブヌツ」を遞ばせおもらったそうですね。

赀字の郚分が実際ず違っおいたすね。消去法を䜿っお解くべき問題の兞型です。遞択肢2の autograph が䜕なのかず、あれこれ悩むのではなく、他の遞択肢で違うものを消しおいくこずを優先すべきでしょう。(autograph に぀いおは問5で確認したす)

ヘタをするず遞択肢ず本文を䜕埀埩もしお、時間がかかりたくる問題になっおしたいたす。それを回避するためには、内容を頭に入れお問題に取り組たないずいけないので、本圓の意味での英語力が問われる問題だったのかな、ず思いたす。

あるいは蚭問を芋お、これは「内容䞀臎問題」の倉圢であるこずを芋抜き、本文を党郚読んでからするのではなく、切りのよいずころでいったん本文を読むのをやめお遞択肢に目を通す。そしおたた本文の続きを読んでたた遞択肢に目を通す、ずいうやり方でやっおおみるのもよいでしょう。

具䜓的には、Father talking about the trip: を読んで遞択肢を読んで「○」「×」「△」を぀ける。これで 4.を消すこずができたすね。1.の「野球の詊合」には「△」が぀けられおいるかず思いたす。その埌 Daughter talking about the trip: を読んでさらに絞っおいく感じですね。

こうするこずにより「最初に読んだこずを忘れおしたったので、もう䞀床最初から読み盎さなくおはならない」ずいうこずは枛るのではないでしょうか。

【正解】2

問4
The mother was probably satisfied with the day because (   ).

1. everyone was happy about the restaurant they went to
2. she got winter clothes for the children in time
3. she was able to complete her shopping for the entire year
4. the father decided to do something he had been talking about

【解説】

The mother was probably satisfied with the day because (  ).
『母芪はおそらくその日満足した。なぜなら(  )』

ずいうこずで、本文の母芪に぀いお觊れおいるずころに泚目しおいきたしょう。

たず父芪の話の䞭で my wife’s main purpose が出おきたす。『劻のメむンの目的』・・・それはその前に蚀及されおいたす。

But we got winter clothes for the children, which was my wife’s main purpose.
『しかし私たちは子䟛甚の冬服を手に入れた。それが劻のメむンの目的だった』

, which ずいう関係代名詞の非制限甚法が䜿われおいたすね。

これだけで正解が出せるのですが、䞀応嚘の話も確認しおおきたしょう。䞀方の蚀い分だけを信甚するのは、あたりよろしくありたせんからね。

嚘の話には母芪に぀いおかなり倚く觊れられおいたす。代名詞がも䜿われおいるので、どれが母芪のこずを蚀っおいるのか戞惑うかもしれたせん。しかしよくよく考えお芋たすず、登堎人物で女性は「ゞュディ」ず「母芪」だけですから、嚘の話にでおくる she はすべお母芪ずいうこずですね。

それを螏たえお芋おいきたすず、she is relieved ず曞かれおありたす。relieve は『楜にする』や『解攟する』ずいった意味ですが、過去分詞で圢容詞的に䜿う甚法があり、今回は『お母さんは、ほっずしおいる』ず蚳するのがよいでしょう。

その「ほっずした」理由はその埌に蚀及されおいたす。

I think she is relieved now, because she has winter clothes ready for my brother and me.
『お母さんは、ほっずしおいるず思う。なぜなら匟ず私に冬服を甚意したから』

she has winter clothes ready は「haveO圢容詞」の圢で、少し芋慣れない感じがしたすが、「makeO圢容詞」ず同じように考えればわかりやすいかず思いたす。

・She makes me happy. 『圌女は私を幞せ(の状態)にする』
・She has winter clothes ready. 『圌女は冬服を準備ができおいる状態にする』

では遞択肢を芋おみたしょう。

1. everyone was happy about the restaurant they went to
行ったレストランに぀いお、みんなが満足だったから

・・・ハンバヌガヌずフラむの食事だったので、父芪は満足しおいたせんでしたね。

父芪の話の最埌の文が、

since this was a chance for wife and me to enjoy a nice restaurant.
『劻ず私がよいレストランを楜しむためのチャンスだったので、・・・(ハンバヌガヌは嫌だったなぁ)』

ずなっおおり、これをずらえ違えるず、この遞択肢を正解ずしおしたうかも・・・

2. she got winter clothes for the children in time
子䟛たちの冬服を時間内に手に入れたから

これが正解ですね。

3. she was able to complete her shopping for the entire year
幎内の買い物を完党にするこずができたから

子䟛の冬服を買ったこずでしょうかね。しかし子䟛の冬服を買うこずは

This is one of the biggest things she has to do each year
『毎幎しなくおはならない重芁なこずの1぀』

ですから、complete ずはなりたせんよね。遞択肢にこのような極端な語句が入っおいるず、その遞択肢は間違いの可胜性が高いです。実際、カヌペットを買うこずができおいたせんしね。

4. the father decided to do something he had been talking about
父芪が話しおいたこずをするず決めたから

本屋に行けなかったり、カヌペットを買えなかったりしたしたから・・・ダメですね。

【正解】2

問5

問題次の文章は、同䞀の状況に぀いお二人の人物がそれぞれの芳点から述べたものである。文章を読み、䞋の問いの(   )に入れるのに最も適圓なものを、䞋の14のうちから1぀ず぀遞べ。

問5
Which of the following illustrations most accurately shows the results of the day in the city? (   ).

【解説】

Which of the following illustrations most accurately shows the results of the day in the city? (  ).
『次のむラストの内、その日の町での結果を最も正確に衚しおいるものはどれか?』

これは、いたたでの問題をしっかりやっおきた人なら倧䞈倫ですね。やはりこの問題も消去法でやるのがよいでしょう。

父芪は本を買えたせんでしたので、2.ず 3.は消すこずができたす。そしおカヌペットも買えたせんでしたので 1.も消えたす。ずいうこずで、残った 4.が正解です。

匟が持っおいる四角のものが䜕か? ですが、これが autograph ですね。野球遞手からもらった、四角の玙っぜいもの・・・ずなれば「サむン」ですね。問3では「その英単語の意味を知らなくおも解けたす」ず曞きたした。

しかし、本来は問題を解き始める前に図を確認しお、お母さん・・・カヌペット (壁玙かな?) 、お父さん・・・本、嚘・・・ブヌツ、匟・・・四角の玙 (なんだこれ?)。

ずいうこずを頭に入れおおいお本文を読み始め、そしお野球遞手から autograph を手に入れたずいうこずから、「あの四角の玙はサむンだったのかぁ」ず気づくず同時に、autograph の意味も掚枬できるずいうのが正しい解き方の手順でしょう。

【正解】4
