公式集、全トピックの解法の要点、6 問の演習問題。完全な解答は巻末にあります。
Some people think that a cold is caused by being out in cold weather. Colds are actually caused by viruses. People may catch more colds in winter because they spend more time indoors, close to others. According to the passage, why might colds be more common in winter?
The author writes: “Opponents claim the new hospital will cost too much. But they ignore that the nearest emergency room is 60 kilometres away, and every minute counts in a heart attack.” What is the author’s tone toward the opponents?
Choose the correct word: “It was a ___ decision, made in seconds.”
Choose the correct verb: “Two-thirds of the medication ___ been used.”
Choose the meaning of the word in bold: “The nurse gave an antipyretic for the high temperature.”
Which word is closest in meaning to ubiquitous?
答え: D · People spend more time indoors near others.
The passage explains that people gather indoors in winter, which makes it easier for viruses to spread.
答え: C · Critical
Saying the opponents ignore an important fact shows that the author disagrees with and criticises them.
答え: D · quick
An adjective describes a noun, so “quick decision” is correct. “Quickly” is an adverb and describes verbs.
答え: B · has
A fraction takes its number from the noun after “of”. “Medication” is singular here, so the verb is “has”.
答え: B · A drug that reduces fever
An antipyretic is a medicine that lowers a raised body temperature.
答え: A · Widespread
Ubiquitous means found everywhere, so widespread is the closest meaning.
