英検準1級のno longer・not yet・still・alreadyの違い｜時点・未完了の独自32問

英検準1級の長文でno longer・not yet・still・alreadyを読み違えると、計画や調査の「実施済み・継続中・未実施」の時点を誤ります。The service is no longer available. は以前の利用可能な状態が終わったこと、The service is not yet available. は現在まだ利用できないことです。慶英会が独自作成した英文解釈8問・4択12問・誤った要約の訂正8問・長文4問、計32問と全和訳・全解説で学習します。

英検準1級の長文内容一致は7問、語句空所補充は6問です（日本英語検定協会・公式試験内容）。本教材は、社会生活・科学の説明文で時点や状態の変化を正確に読むための独自練習です。公式過去問を転載したものではありません。

結論｜時点を表す4つの語の違い

• no longer：以前は当てはまったが、今はそうでない。The library no longer opens on Sundays.＝以前とは違い、今は日曜に開かない。
• not yet：今のところまだ起こっていない。The results are not yet available.＝結果はまだ利用できない。以前は利用できたとは言っていない。
• still：状態や動作が今も継続している。The review is still continuing.＝審査が今も続いている。
• already：予定や期待との関係で既に起こった・完了した。The team has already checked the figures.＝すでに確認した。
• anymore／any longer：否定文でno longerと近い意味になる。The service isn’t available anymore.
• yetとstillの違い：The report hasn’t arrived yet. は未到着。The report still hasn’t arrived. は未到着が続くことをより強く示しやすい。

stillは継続する状態、alreadyはその時点までの成立・完了を示します。文脈に応じた日本語を選んでください。
