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。
“The novel follows a young doctor in a small mountain town. Over one winter, she learns as much from her patients as they learn from her.” What is the most likely theme?
The writer argues: “We should not build the new road. It will destroy the old forest, and the traffic it saves will last only until more cars fill it.” Which piece of evidence would most strengthen the writer’s argument?
Which word should replace the underlined informal word for a formal report? “The results were awesome.”
Which phrase is punctuated correctly?
Choose the meaning of the word in bold: “A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of heart disease.”
Choose the meaning of the word in bold: “The test is non-invasive.”
答え: D · Learning goes both ways.
The doctor learns from her patients as much as they learn from her, suggesting that learning goes both ways.
答え: D · Studies showing new roads often fill with more traffic
Evidence that new roads tend to attract more traffic directly supports the writer’s claim that any time saved would not last. A forest that few people visit would, if anything, weaken the case.
答え: D · excellent
Formal writing uses precise, standard words such as “excellent”. The other choices are slang.
答え: A · two young children
“Two” and “young” are cumulative modifiers, not coordinate adjectives, so no comma separates them. A comma never comes between the last adjective and its noun.
答え: D · Inactive, with much sitting
Sedentary means involving little physical activity.
答え: A · It does not enter the body or break the skin
A non-invasive test, such as a blood pressure measurement or an ultrasound, does not require entering the body.
