Part 1
ターゲット 動詞の時制を聞き取ろう
動詞の時制の中でも特に注意して聞きたいのが，完了形を作る have や cut などの形が変わらない動詞．
軽く読み流されたり，短縮されたりするので，ぼんやり聞いていると後悔することになるかも．選択肢
の中には，他の部分は合っているのに，動詞の時制だけが間違っているというイジワル問題もある．動
詞が否定か肯定かも聞き分けられるようになろう．
Listen and fill in the blanks for each sentence. Choose the statement that best
describes what you see in the picture.

● 解法のポイント・・・写真は撮影時の [ 現在 ] を表す
写真では，そのシーンが撮影された時点より前 ( 過去 ) または後 ( 未来 ) のことについては表現できない．
つまり，写真について述べる時，動詞が過去形や未来形となることは普通ない．過去や未来時制の選択
肢に気づいたら，それは誤りの可能性が高い．

Part 2
ターゲット 一般疑問文 (Yes/No で答えられる疑問文 ) の質問に慣れよう
Part 2 では，出だしの単語を必ず聞き取ろう．疑問詞 (who，what など ) で始まっているかいないか，
ここが大きなポイント．付加疑問文 ( ∼ , don t you?，∼ , isn t it? など ) も，Yes/No で答えられる．
Listen and fill in the blanks for each sentence. Then choose the best response to
each question.

● 解法のポイント・・・主語の性別・単数か複数かの違いに気をつけよう
質問文とそれに答える文とで，主語の性別あるいは単数 / 複数が違っていたら，正解にはなりにくい．
聞き逃しやすい点なので，よく注意！

● 解法のポイント・・・副詞節と名詞節を見分けよう
時・条件を表す副詞節 ( ∼する時，∼ならば ) の中で使われている動詞の時制が現在形となることを問
う問題はよく出される．ここでひっかけ問題として出されるのが，同じく when や if を使った名詞節．
when や if が使われていても，( いつ∼するか，∼かどうか ) と意味も違うし，動詞の用法も違う．この
違いを見分ける問題は TOEIC だけでなく，TOEFL でも出やすいのでマスターしよう．
