【解答・解説】
問1
正解:③ it done
解説
have + 目的語 + 過去分詞
=「~を…してもらう」
I had it done at a studio.
①②④はいずれも構文が成立しない。
問2
正解:④ soon
解説
how soon =「どれくらい早く(=あとどれくらいで)」
時間の近さを聞く定型表現。
fast / rapidly は「速さ」、long は時間の長さ。
問3
正解:② if you like
解説
提案への自然な応答。
「いいよ/君がいいなら」
会話表現の定番。
問4
正解:③ put
解説
put up with ~ =「~を我慢する」
熟語問題だが、入試では頻出。
・その他の表現👇
catch up with ~「~に追いつく」 / keep up with ~「~に遅れずについて行く /
take up with ~「(好ましくない人と) 親しくなる」
問5
正解:② active
解説
active mind =「活発な頭脳」
文脈判断で十分対応可能。
alive / angry は意味不一致。
問6
正解:③ interesting
解説
-ing形容詞:
「話題そのものが面白いかどうか」
No topic is interesting if you are not interested.
-ed は人の感情。
問7
正解:③ whoever
解説
whoever =「~する人は誰でも」
先行詞を含む関係代名詞。
those は後ろに関係節が必要。
問8
正解:① not old enough
解説
not + 形容詞 + enough to ~
=「~するには十分に…でない」
13歳 → 運転免許は不可。
問9
正解:④ which it wasn’t
解説
非制限用法の関係代名詞 which
前文全体を受ける。
, which it wasn’t as warm as ~
※センターらしい構文処理問題。
問10
正解:③ lived
解説
when I was a child → 完全に過去
経験ではなく「居住」なので lived。
have been は現在完了で不適。
