There are four parts to this section, with special directions for each part. Part1 Directions: For each question, you will see a picture in your test book and you will hear four short statements. The statements will be spoken just one time. They will not be written in your test book. You must listen carefully in order to understand what the speaker says. When you hear the four statements, look at the picture in your test book and choose the statement that best describes what you see in the picture. Then, on your answer sheet, find the number of the problem and mark your answer. Look at the sample below. Now, listen to the four statements. (A)There are no cars parked on the street. (B)Many people are walking down the street. (C)One person is wearing a hat. (D)A car is parked on the left. Sample Answer A B C D Statement (A), "There are no cars parked on the street." best describes what you see in the picture. Therefore, you should choose answer (A). 1 (A)The statue is made of wood. (B)The statue is of a woman. (C)The house has some windows. (D)All the windows are broken. 正解 … (C) 解説 statueという言葉に注意が行くが、どちらも当てはまらない。 2 (A)A woman is enjoying gardening. (B)There are some chimneys on the roof. (C)There are some small trees behind the house. (D)Flour is made from wheat. 正解 … (B) 解説庭が見えるのでgardenが簡単に浮かぶが、ここでのgardenは動詞として使われている。flourはflowerと発音が同じ為の引っ掛け。 1 3 (A)The sink is being washed. (B)A kettle is on the stove. (C)There is no one in the kitchen. (D)A knife is lying in the box. 正解 … (C) 解説台所家具や台所用品の名詞を良く把握しつつ、それぞれがどういう状況にあるかを描写出来るかどうか。幾つか名詞が出て来たが、それぞれ状況が違っている。 4 (A)There are some cars on the road. (B)There are many people on the sidewalk. (C)The park is covered with some fountain pen. (D)There are some people in the pond. 正解 … (A) 解説 fountainという言葉を知っていると、そこに注意を払うかもしれないが、そうすると(C)で引っ掛かるかもしれない。 5 (A)Workers are painting the wall. (B)A car is turning right at the corner. (C)Nobody is climbing up the scaffolding. (D)The building materials are being loaded. 正解 … (C) 解説 scaffoldingという単語は難しいが、消去法で対処出来れば良い。 loadedはroadの引っ掛け。 6 (A)Two people are sitting face to face. (B)Two people are talking on the phone. (C)Two people are walking around the office. (D)Two people are working in the office. 正解 … (D) 解説主語が全てTwo peopleであるので、動詞の部分に注意を払う問題。 walk／workの発音に注意。 2 0001C 7 (A)People are looking at the same way. (B)Some people are entering the museum. (C)A guard is walking away the museum. (D)There is a big picture on the wall. 正解 … (B) 解説この建物がmuseumかどうかははっきりはしないが、何人かが建物の中に向かっている。 8 (A)The woman at the back is resting her arm on the box.

(C)The woman is holding a bog. (D)A couple is walking side by side. 正解 … (B) 解説２人の人物が写っていると、それぞれ或いは両方の人物描写になる。(D)も良さそうだが、歩いているようには見えないし、side by sideも正確ではない。 10 (A)Someone is opening a notebook. (B)There are some books closed on the chair. (C)There are a book and some other things on the desk. (D)The chair is covered with a white cloth. 正解 … (C) 解説 open／closedという所に注意し過ぎると後半の選択肢を聞き逃しかねないので、要注意。 3 11 (A)There are some people near the stones. (B)There are some people on the stones.

(C)Some people are crossing the street. (D)All people are walking toward the same directions. 正解 … (C) 解説自転車は見えるが、たくさんではない。人についての描写がカギになるが(D)のように皆、同じ方向に向かっている訳ではない。 14 (A)The woman is wearing a white blouse.

(B)A man is smiling at one of the waitresses. (C)A man is holding a bottle of water. (D)A couple is sitting at an open-air restaurant. 正解 … (D) 解説 sitting／settingの聴き取りが音声的に似ているのがカギ。 18 (A)The cup is to the right of the calculator. (B)The papers are covering the eraser.

(B)The flowers are leaving out of the window. (C)Some labels are attached to the flowers. (D)The flowers are growing near the window. 正解 … (D) 解説 (B)のleavingはleavesの引っ掛け。(C)のlabelsは答えではないが、カタカナ英語の発音（ラベル）との違いに注意が必要。 20 (A)Two of the men are folding their arms. (B)All of the people in the room are holding something. (C)The man behind the woman is holding his bag strap. (D)The woman is pointing at something with her fingers. 正解 … (C) 解説 fold／holdとも写真には関係あるが、特にPart1では発音と意味の違いが把握出来ているかどうかが大切。 6 0001C Part2 Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear a question spoken in English, followed by three responses, also spoken in English. The question and the responses will be spoken just one time. They will not be printed in your test book, so you must listen carefully to understand what the speakers say. You are to choose the best response to each question. Now listen to a sample question. You will hear: Good morning, John! How are you? You will also hear: (A)My name is John. (B)I am in the living room. (C)I am fine, thank you. Sample Answer A B C The best response to the question "How are you?" is choice (C), "I am fine, thank you." Therefore, you should choose answer (C). 21 When are we having the meeting this afternoon? (A)Right after lunch. (B)Yes, we are having the meeting. (C)One of the meeting rooms on the third floor. 正解 …(A) 解説「いつ？」という問いに対して、具体的な時間については答えていないが、(A)が正解。 Part２では質問の文頭に注意することが大切。 22 How much longer will it take to fix the copier? (A)Tomorrow will be fine. (B)The copier is being repaired. (C)I'm not sure. 正解 …(C) 解説 Wh（How∼）で始まる質問に対して、数字などで情報を伝えるだけでなく、(C)のように「わかりません」と返答する場合が正解の場合もあるので要注意。 23 Why did they cancel the meeting? (A)Sometime last night. (B)Something urgent happened. (C)No, it won't. 正解 …(B) 解説 Whyで始まる質問に対して、Becauseで始まる応答文にこだわり過ぎていると、正解の(B)を聞き逃してしまう事も考えられるので、こういう形の返答に慣れておく。 7 24 Who is going to meet us at the station? (A)Let me check our schedule. (B)At the station. (C)You're supposed to do that. 正解 …(A) 解説 Whoという問いかけに対して、人に関する応答文ばかりに気を取られていると、聞き逃すことになるので注意が必要。(A)の「スケジュールを調べてみます」のような返答も良くある。 25 How many more people do we need? (A)In two hours. (B)I guess about five more. (C)People don't need anything. 正解 …(B) 解説数字に関する問いかけに対して数字の応答が２つあるが、(A)はWhenという質問に対する答えなので正解にはならない。 26 It's terribly cold in here, isn't it? (A)No. it's very cold in here. (B)Yes. It's very hot in here. (C)I'll check the heater. 正解 …(C) 解説付加疑問文への応答はYes／Noが多いが、疑問形でも、特にイントネーションによっては確認している場合もあるので、必ずしもYes／Noにならない事がある。 27 Could I have two more copies of these? (A)The copies are well written. (B)Could you ask someone else? (C)My assistant made them. 正解 …(B) 解説丁寧な依頼（Could I）に対して、別の丁寧な依頼（Could you）で応対している例。 28 When shall I call him? (A)I will call you at five. (B)Yes. I called you this morning. (C)Right after the meeting. 正解 …(C) 解説質問の中にある、callという単語が確かにカギにはなるが、Whenという問いかけに対して一番適当な応答は(C)になる。 8 0001C 29 Would you like me to e-mail this now? (A)Sure. I e-mailed it last night. (B)Please, if you are not very busy. (C)Yes. E-mail is very useful. 正解 …(B) 解説希望を聞かれて、気を遣って応答する方法にも慣れておくと良い。日本語での「お手隙なら」という感覚での表現が(B)。 30 What time shall we visit him tomorrow? (A)He'll be fine tomorrow. (B)He'll come here by car. (C)I'll ask him. 正解 …(C) 解説ここでも「何時に」という質問に関して、時間に関しての応答が含まれているのは(A)だが、正解ではない。 31 Can I keep this brochure for a while? (A)Yes. His brother does. (B)I always try to keep fit. (C)Sure, as long as you like. 正解 …(C) 解説 brochureという単語はやや難しいかもしれない（pamphletなら馴染みがあるだろう）が、ここではkeep∼for a whileに注目出来れば良い。(A)のbrotherはbrochureの音声面での引っ掛け。 32 How many times have I told you to keep the deadline? (A)The deadline is coming. (B)It won't happen again. (C)It's five times as many as this. 解説正解 …(B) ここでの質問のポイントは、"How many times"が回数を聞いているのではなく、文全体で「怒りを表している」事に気がつくかどうか。しかも応答の謝罪の仕方も"I'm sorry."等と言わずにややひねってある。 33 You didn't call him about our plan, did you? (A)I really didn't have time to do that. (B)No. I didn't call you. (C)Yes, I will. 正解 …(A) 解説時制で判断しても(C)ではおかしい。「電話したかどうか」の付加疑問文での確認に対して、出来なかった理由（時間が無かった）で返答している。 9 34 Who is supposed to make a speech first in our next meeting? (A)I guess Mark is the first speaker. (B)No, I'm not. (C)His speech is very fast. 正解 …(A) 解説 speechという語に対してのspeakerがほぼ同等の意味に取れるかどうかがポイント。 35 Where did I leave my calculator? (A)It's yours. (B)Look in the drawer. (C)It leaves every hour. 正解 …(B) 解説 Whereという場所に関しての問いかけだが、この(B)のように提案のような形で応答する場合もある。つまり正確な場所は分からないが、「引き出しを捜してみたら」というもの。 36 Who do you think evaluates your performance? (A)My boss. (B)No, I don't. (C)At the theater. 正解 …(A) 解説 Who∼？＝誰が∼したかという質問。Evaluate＝評価する；performance＝作業（仕事）、能力。(B)、(C)は人ではないので、不正解。 37 When did you get hold of Mary? (A)Two nights ago. (B)Her left hand. (C)Next Monday. 正解 …(A) 解説 When∼？＝いつ∼したかを聞いているので、答えも過去の「時」を表す言葉を探す。Next Mondayも「時」を表しているが、未来の「時」なので間違い。get hold of ∼＝∼をつかまえる、∼に連絡を取る。 38 What's wrong with your glasses? (A)The teacher is boring. (B)It is about 10cm long. (C)Too weak for my eyes now. 正解 …(C) 解説 What's wrong with ∼＝何が問題ですか？glasses＝眼鏡；weak for one's eyes＝その人の視力には度が弱い。glassesとclassesを聞き間違えて(A)にしないように注意。 10 0001C 39 Do you think you can make it to the presentation tomorrow? (A)Sure, I will be there. (B)No, I am not. (C)Is it someone's birthday tomorrow? 正解 …(A) 解説 make it to ∼＝∼に間に合う、∼に都合がつく。間に合いますかと聞いているので、(A)が正解。 40 How many days did you stay in London? (A)Three different hotels. (B)For five days. (C)On Sunday and Monday. 正解 …(B) 解説何日間滞在したかと聞いているので、ホテルの数や何曜日かは聞いていない。 41 What do you usually like to study? (A)At a library late at night. (B)Yes, I do. (C)Math and geography. 正解 …(C) 解説何を勉強するのが好きか、だから科目などの名詞が答えになる。(A)は場所なので違う。 Math＝数学；geography＝地理。 42 Did you catch a cold, John? (A)Yes, I am afraid I did. (B)No, he did not call me. (C)I think it is very cold. 正解 …(A) 解説 Did you∼？だから過去形、または過去を表す答えを探す。catch a cold＝風邪を引く。素直に(A)を選ぶ。coldを「寒い」と間違えないよう注意。 43 What time is your flight to New York? (A)Three times. (B)At 4:30. (C)I am afraid of airplanes. 正解 …(B) 解説 What time∼？で何時かを聞いている。何回行ったかではない。Flight＝飛行機の便；fright （恐れ）と、聞き間違えて(C)にしないように注意。 11 44 How did you manage to get to the office in this snow? (A)I had no choice but to walk. (B)My manager gets to the office early. (C)I came here yesterday. 正解 …(A) 解説 How∼？だから、どのようにして∼が問われる。manage to∼＝どうにか∼する、が入っているのでややこしいが(A)の「歩いた」が正解。いつか、は聞かれていないので(C)は不正解。 45 How long did you sleep last night? (A)I went to bed at midnight. (B)I guess for about 8 hours. (C)For one week. 正解 …(B) 解説 How long∼？＝どのくらいの長さかが聞かれている。Last nightと限定しているので、(C)ではなく(B)の「8時間」が正解。 46 Could you turn in the document I asked for? (A)I can't turn it on. (B)I am sorry, but I haven't finished it yet. (C)I tune in to a music station. 正解 …(B) 解説 turn in∼＝∼を提出する。Turn on∼＝∼をつける（ラジオなど）。tune in to∼＝∼にチャンネルを合わせる発音が似ているので注意。 47 Where can I buy computer software? (A)Yes, you may. (B)The menswear section is on the 5th floor. (C)At a computer equipment store. 正解 …(C) 解説 softwareとmenswearの終わり方が似ているので、その引っ掛け。 48 What did you think of Hong Kong? (A)Two years ago. (B)I loved everything about it. (C)I thought he was very sweet. 正解 …(B) 解説香港についての感想を聞いているので(B)が正解。(C)はHong Kongを人名と間違えたら選んでしまう。 12 0001C 49 May I use your computer after you are finished? (A)I have to go home after work. (B)It is brand new. (C)Yes, of course. 正解 …(C) 解説コンピューターを使って良いか聞いているので、(B)などは間違い。新しいかは聞いていない。brand new＝新品の。 50 What have you done to your hair? (A)I had it cut yesterday. (B)I am doing fine, and you? (C)My hairdresser talks a lot. 正解 …(A) 解説 "What have you done to ∼？" で∼はどうしたのですか？(A)の「切りました」、が一番当てはまる。 Have＋∼＋過去分詞で「∼してもらう」。ヘアドレッサーについては聞いていないので(C)は間違い。 13 Part3 Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear thirty short conversations between two people. The conversations will not be printed in your test book. You will hear the conversations only once, so you must listen carefully to understand what the speakers say. In your test book, you will read a question about each conversation. The question will be followed by four answers. You are to choose the best answer to each question and mark it on your answer sheet. 51 (Man) Are you going to carry this PC equipment by yourself? (Woman) Of course not. My husband is supposed to pick me up in 5 minutes. (Man) That's what I thought. How is the woman going to move the PC equipment? (A)By car. (B)With her friend. (C)With a cart. (D)By herself. 正解 …(A) 男性の問いかけに対して、女性が"∼pick me up∼"と返答しているところで、これが「車で迎えに来る／行く」という表現であると気付けば、選択肢の(A)と結び付けられる。解説 52 (Woman) There you are! What happened? (Man) Just as I was about to leave home, I had a visitor. (Woman) Well, you could have called me anyway. What did the woman want him to do? (A)She wanted him to talk to her. (B)She wanted him to meet her. (C)She wanted him to call her. (D)She wanted him to ask the visitor something. 正解 …(C) 女性が男性と待ち合わせをしている状況が浮かぶと良い。このようにPart3では会話の場面状況を思い浮かべる事が出来ると良い。解答は、女性の最後の台詞中の"∼could have called∼"＝「電話出来たでしょう？」から「電話して欲しかった」の意味になる。解説 53 (Woman) The TV news says that the government is thinking about raising the consumption tax again. (Man) Give me a break. Don't they have anything else to work on? (Woman) You said it. What does the woman think about the man's remark? (A)She doesn't have the same opinion. (B)She agrees with him. (C)She wants him to repeat that. (D)She doesn't like it. 正解 …(B) 相手に同意する時の表現がいくつかあるが、必ずしも"agree"をいつも使用するわけではないので、今回のように"You said it."や"You bet."等の表現に慣れておくと良い。解説 14 0001C 54 (Woman) Is there a pay phone near here? (Man) There's a convenience store down on the corner. They usually have one near the entrance. (Woman) Good. There's something wrong with my cell phone. What will the woman probably do after this? (A)Go home. (B)Go to the convenience store. (C)Try to use her cell phone. (D)She doesn't know what to do. 正解 …(B) 解説推測の問題だが、携帯電話（cell phone）がおかしい。公衆電話（pay phone）を探している、という状況から、コンビニ（convenience store）に行くだろうと考える。 55 (Man) What did you think of his speech? (Woman) I think the first half was pretty interesting but the second half could have been better. (Man) Exactly. During the second half, I almost fell asleep. According to the first man, how was the first half of the speech? (A)Better than the second half. (B)As good as the second half. (C)Less interesting than the second half. (D)He didn't say. 正解 …(A) 解説比較の表現で、仮定法過去完了を使う場合がある。"could have been better"で「もっと良くなったはずなのに」という事から、「あまり良くなかった」と理解し、スピーチの最初の半分の方が良かったことになる。 56 (Woman) Has Jack already left, Tom? (Man) I'm afraid so, Betty. (Woman) I had to talk about the Johnston deal with him. I'll call him on his cell phone, anyway. Who wanted to talk with Jack? (A)Betty did. (B)Tom did. (C)Johnston did. (D)No one did. 正解 …(A) 解説名前が多く混乱するが、Jackと話したかったのは女性で、彼女に男性が「Betty」と呼びかけていたところがポイントになる。 57 (Man) Do you have any memo pads? (Woman) Yes. They are over there on the rack next to the notebooks. (Man) I see. Thank you. Where does this conversation take place? (A)At a library. (B)At a stationery store. (C)At a bookstore. (D)At a grocery store. 正解 …(B) notebooksはカタカナでも馴染みがあるが、memo pads（一綴りのメモ用紙）はあまり使わないだろう。このように身の回りの色々の品物（特にこの問題のような文房具等）を英語で確認しておくと良い。解説 15 58 (Woman) How long will you be staying here this time, Mr.Barns? (Man) Just two days. By the way, would it be possible for you to make a hotel reservation for me? (Woman) Actually, we've already done that for you. Fortunately, we could get you your usual room. Where is Mr. Barns going to stay tonight? (A)At home. (B)At the first man's room. (C)At a hotel. (D)We don't know. 正解 …(C) 解説 hotel reservationとあるので、答は見つけ易いかもしれないが、最後の"usual room"で引っ掛かるかもしれない。「いつもの（いつも泊まっている）部屋」という意味。 59 (Man) I'd like to cash a traveler's check. (Woman) Certainly. Do you have some identification? (Man) Sure. Let me get my passport. Where are they? (A)At a post office. (B)At the immigration office. (C)At a bank. (D)At a police station. 正解 …(C) 解説出来れば、男性の最初の台詞部分の"cash a traveler's check"で正しい選択肢を選び、残りを聴かずに次の問題をチェック出来ると良い。ここでの"cash"は動詞で「現金化する」という意味。 60 (Man) Have you decided what you're going to order, ma'am? The steak and chicken here are very good. And our lamb is excellent, too. (Woman) Do all of these come with a salad and a choice of desserts? (Man) Certainly, ma'am. What is the first man's occupation? (A)Cook. (B)Waiter. (C)Mechanic. (D)Sales clerk. 正解 …(B) 解説 "order" "steak" 等の単語や女性への呼びかけの"ma'am"等から、レストランでの客とウェイターとの会話と判断出来る。 61 (Man) Mary, is your husband taking you to the airport tomorrow? (Woman) Oh, Kevin. He told me he didn't want to go all the way to the airport as he needs to see his dentist tomorrow, so I was going to ask Judy to drive me instead, but he thinks he can squeeze in some time to give me a lift in the morning. (Man) Oh, that's nice of him. Who is taking the woman to the airport? (A)The man. (B)The woman's husband. (C)Judy. (D)The dentist. 正解 …(B) メアリーを空港に送るのは誰か？が問われている。旦那さんが歯医者に行きたいので、空港に行くのをしぶっていたが（he didn't want to）、結局連れて行ってもらえることになったと後半部で言っている（squeeze in some time to∼ ∼する時間を捻出する）。give ∼ a lift＝∼を車で送る。解説 16 0001C 62 (Man) Do you want a copy of this document, Cathy? (Woman) I already have one, Michael. Kate gave it to me before lunch, but I should get some more copies for my clients. Do you mind making five more copies by tomorrow? (Man) No problem. I will leave them at your desk. What will the man do for the woman? (A)Clean up the woman's desk. (B)Make more copies of the document. (C)Buy some sandwich for her. (D)Read another document. 正解 …(B) 解説新たに5部書類をコピーするのは誰ですか？CathyがMichaelにDo you mind making∼？（コピーを作ってもらってもいいですか）と聞いているので、答えはMichael。Do you mind ∼ing?＝∼ してもらえますか？Client＝客、顧客。 63 (Woman) You look a little out of breath, Ken. What happened? (Man) I missed my bus this morning, so I had to walk all the way from downtown. I thought I might take a taxi to the office, but I decided I could use some exercise. (Woman) I bet you had a good workout. What happened to the man? (A)He lost his wallet. (B)He had to walk to downtown. (C)He could not catch his bus. (D)He went shopping. 正解 …(C) 解説男性はどうしたか？が聞かれている。missed my bus (バスに乗り遅れた)なので(C)が正解。 not catch a busとmissed a busが同じ意味。(B)は一見正解のようだが、to downtownとなっているので、歩いた方向が逆。 64 (Man) Are you going to Patsy's party this Friday? (Woman) Sure, I will bring some cookies. Do you think Patsy likes sweet things? (Man) I am not sure, but I definitely will eat them. You know I have a sweet tooth. Who is going to bring cookies to the party? (A)Patsy. (B)The woman. (C)The woman's sister. (D)The man. 正解 …(B) 解説クッキーを持って行くのは誰か？女性が、I will bring some cookies.と言っているので、答えは女性。その女性の妹の事はどこにも出て来ない。have a sweet tooth＝甘いものが好き。 65 (Man) I called you several times this morning but nobody answered. Were you out? (Woman) I was out working in my garden, watering my roses. What did you want to talk about anyway, Bill? (Man) Well, I just wanted to say hi. Why did Bill call the woman? (A)To ask her about the roses. (B)No particular reason. (C)To talk about the job. (D)To ask her about her garden. 正解 …(B) ビルはどうしてその女性に電話したか、理由が問われている。どうしたの？（What did you want to talk about?）と聞かれて、ビルはjust wanted to talk（ただ話したかっただけ）と言っているので、(B)のno particular reason（特に理由はない）が正解。解説 17 66 (Woman) Where can I find books on Europe? (Man) They are over by aisle B. You should be able to find them right next to the gardening books section. And just so that you know, you can only check out three books at a time. (Woman) Ok. Thanks. Where are they? (A)At a library. (B)At an office. (C)At a bookstore. (D)At a garden center. 正解 …(A) 解説この会話はどこで行なわれているか。直接は出てこないが、会話の中に、books on Europe （ヨーロッパに関する本）、 aisle（通路）、gardening books（園芸の本）、check out three books at a time（一度に3冊まで借りる）等から想像して、図書館だと分かる。 67 (Man) Will you finish this report, Susanne? (Woman) What time do you need it by, Steve? (Man) I am using it for the presentation tomorrow afternoon, but I would like to have it by tomorrow morning. When does Steve want his report? (A)As soon as possible. (B)By the next morning. (C)By 5:00PM. (D)By the afternoon of the next day. 正解 …(B) 解説スティーブはいつレポートが必要か。by tomorrow morning（明日の朝までに）と言っているので、(B)が答え。(A)でも良さそうだが、すぐに必要とは言っていない。 68 (Man) It is cold in here, Susan. Is the heater working? (Woman) Sorry, Bill. I turned it down a few hours ago. I have been trying to cut down on my electric bills. (Man) Well, good for you. But could you just turn it up a little, please? Why does Susan keep the heater down? (A)To save on the cost of electricity bills. (B)Because it is getting warmer. (C)Because she is trying to lose weight. (D)Because the heater is broken. 正解 …(A) 解説スーザンが暖房の温度を下げた理由を聞かれている。Trying to cut down on my electric bills （光熱費を抑えようとしている）とあるので、(A)のsave on the cost of electricityと同じ意味。turn down＝温度を下げる。 69 (Woman) Did you hear about Craig's promotion? (Man) No, I didn't. But it's no surprise. He worked so hard to win that big contract last November. Does that mean he will be transferred to the head office? (Woman) Yes. I bet he will enjoy the warmer California sun! What happened to Craig? (A)He was given a better position at headquarters. (B)He got sick because he worked too hard. (C)He was fired. (D)He is moving to another company in California. 正解 …(A) クレイグに何が起こったか？が質問。Got his promotion（昇進した）とあり、head office （本社）にtransfer（転属）されるとあるので、悪い事ではなく、良い事なので(B)、(C)は違う。 Head office とheadquartersは同じ意味。解説 18 0001C 70 (Man) Has anybody called while I was away, Jane?
