TOEIC Part6 長文穴埋め問題 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: We are pleased to inform you that your application ______ accepted. Please report to the office on Monday.
- has been (Correct answer)
- have been
- to be
- having been
Correct answer: has been
主語 your application は単数の受け身なので has been accepted が正しい形です。have been は複数主語用、having been と to be は述語動詞になれません。
Question 2: The renovation will be completed next month. ______, the store will remain open during this period.
- For example
- On the contrary
- In the meantime (Correct answer)
- As a result
Correct answer: In the meantime
改装が終わるまでの期間も営業を続けるという文脈なので「その間に・それまでの間」を表す In the meantime が適切です。As a result は結果、For example は例示、On the contrary は対比を表します。
Question 3: Thank you for your recent purchase. We hope you ______ your new product.
- enjoyed
- to enjoy
- enjoying
- enjoy (Correct answer)
Correct answer: enjoy
hope の後の that節(that省略)で、購入したばかりの製品をこれから楽しんでほしいという現在の願望なので現在形 enjoy が自然です。enjoyed は過去で文脈に合いません。
Question 4: Our customer service team is available ______ to answer any questions you may have.
- round the clock (Correct answer)
- in advance
- on behalf
- out of order
Correct answer: round the clock
カスタマーサービスがいつでも対応するという文脈で「24時間体制で」を意味する round the clock が適切です。out of order は故障中、on behalf は代理で、in advance は前もって、を意味します。
Question 5: The attached document contains all the information ______ you need to register for the seminar.
- which (Correct answer)
- what
- where
- whose
Correct answer: which
先行詞 the information を修飾し、後ろの節で目的語が欠けている関係代名詞 which が正解です。what は先行詞を含むため使えず、whose は所有格、where は場所を表します。
Question 6: Due to high demand, we have decided to ______ the promotion until the end of the year.
- expense
- expend
- expand
- extend (Correct answer)
Correct answer: extend
キャンペーンを年末まで「延長する」という意味で extend が正解です。expand は拡大する、expend は費やす、expense は名詞(費用)で文脈に合いません。
Question 7: Employees who wish to attend the training should sign up ______ the deadline.
- before (Correct answer)
- behind
- between
- beyond
Correct answer: before
締め切り前に申し込むべきという意味で before(〜より前に)が正解です。beyond は超えて、behind は後ろに、between は〜の間で、いずれも文意に合いません。
Question 8: The committee will review all proposals and ______ a decision by next week.
- do
- take
- make (Correct answer)
- give
Correct answer: make
「決定を下す」は英語で make a decision という定型表現を使うため make が正解です。do, take, give は decision とは組み合わせません。
