英検準2級の長文空所補充|前後の内容をつなぐ表現を選ぶ
結論:長文空所補充では、空所の直前だけでなく前の文の行動・対象と、次の文の結果まで読み、自然につながる表現を選びます。例えば『通知に期限を追加した。___で受取日の混乱が減った』なら、追加した変更を受ける表現が正解です。文法上は入る語句でも、内容と無関係なら選べません。
慶英会の独自8長文32問です。各長文に空所補充2問、内容確認2問を設けました。全問の正答と根拠、英文の全文和訳を掲載します。英検準2級の公式Readingの長文語句空所補充は2問で、この教材は反復演習用の拡張問題です。英検協会の公式過去問ではありません。
空所の前後を見る4ステップ
| 確認項目 | 読み方 |
|---|---|
| 直前の対象 | 誰・どの物・どの活動の話か |
| 直前の動き | 何を変えた、何を調べたか |
| 直後の内容 | どんな効果・結果・条件が続くか |
| 誤答の範囲 | 本文にないこと、無関係な話題ではないか |
まず4択を隠して空所に入りそうな日本語を考え、英文を一度最後まで読んでから答えてください。
問題編|8長文32問
図書館の予約本と受取期限
Our school library lets students reserve books online. When a requested book becomes available, the librarian puts it on a special shelf for three days. [1] helps students find their books quickly. However, if students do not collect the books in time, the librarian returns them to the regular shelves. Some students misunderstood this rule, so the library added a clear deadline to every email notice. [2] reduced confusion about collection dates. Staff will compare the number of collected books after two months, but they have not decided whether to extend the three-day period.

理科室の窓と光の観察
A science class measured sunlight beside two windows at the same time every morning. Students used the same light-measuring device at both windows. [1] made the readings easier to compare. The east-facing window received more light early in the day, while the other window became brighter later. Students wrote their results on separate sheets and displayed the papers on a noticeboard. [2] allowed other classes to study the results during lunch. The teacher explained that this one-week observation did not prove what would happen at every school in the country.

地域清掃の安全と分別
Twenty volunteers divided into two groups for a river cleanup. One collected bottles near a park, and the other collected paper beside a road. Before the work began, everyone received gloves and a safety explanation. [1] was particularly important because some workers would be near traffic. During the activity, volunteers found broken glass and asked a trained worker to collect it. Afterward, they weighed the bags from the two areas separately. [2] helped the organizers see which location had produced more collected waste. They did not claim that the bags contained all the rubbish in the town.

学校新聞のデジタル版
West Bay School began publishing an online version of its monthly student newspaper. It also kept printed copies in the library for students without reliable internet access. [1] meant that the new system did not completely remove the paper version. Students continued to publish interviews and pictures, which teachers checked before publication. The editors planned to ask readers about the digital version at the end of the term. [2] would help them decide whether to change the design. However, the survey had not taken place, so the editors did not yet know how many readers preferred the new format.

作文講座の抽選とキャンセル待ち
A city library offered sixteen places in a writing workshop. Because too many people applied, it selected participants by lottery. Unsuccessful applicants could join a waiting list, but doing so did not guarantee a seat. [1] was explained in the result email. When a selected person cancelled, the library contacted someone on the waiting list and asked for an answer before Saturday noon. Two people did not respond in time. [2] led the staff to offer those places to other applicants. The workshop began on Sunday, and arriving early without confirmation did not provide a place.

学校菜園の水やりと記録
A community group donated twelve young trees to a school. Six were planted near the playground, and six were planted behind the library. Both groups received the same amount of water during the first month. [1] made it easier to compare their growth. Children measured each tree’s height once a week and wrote the numbers in notebooks. They displayed these measurements beside a map of the school. [2] helped visiting parents see both where the trees were growing and how their heights changed. Students did not claim that the results proved what would happen to trees in every climate.

博物館の音声と紙の案内
A history museum introduced recorded audio explanations for several displays. However, it also kept printed descriptions beside the exhibits. [1] allowed visitors to choose how they received information. Staff placed clearer signs near the audio-guide desk because some people had returned devices to the wrong location. The museum planned to compare the number of incorrect returns next month. [2] had not yet been measured, and the museum did not claim the new signs had solved every problem. All devices still had to be returned before closing time.

バスの仮停留所と復旧日
Road repairs forced Route Seven to stop serving the bus stop outside the community center. The temporary stop is on Hill Road, about two hundred meters away. The bus company’s timetable has not changed. A notice was posted at the old stop to tell passengers about the new location. [1] helped prevent people from waiting where Route Seven no longer stopped. Route Nine still uses the original stop, so the change does not affect every bus. The company will review the road repairs on Monday. [2] is still unknown because the work may take longer than planned. Travelers are advised to check the updated official notice.

英文全文和訳
学校図書室ではオンラインで本を予約できます。司書は準備ができた本を3日間専用棚へ置きます。その仕組みで受取が容易になります。期限内に受け取られない本は通常棚へ戻されます。誤解を避けるため通知へ明確な期限を追加し、この変更により受取日の混乱が減りました。2か月後に受取数を確認しますが、3日間の延長は未決定です。

- A.At the same time each morning. at the same time every morning。
- C.One week. one-week observation。
英文全文和訳
理科の授業で毎朝同じ時刻に二つの窓のそばの光を測りました。同じ測定器を使ったことにより数値を比較しやすくなりました。東向きの窓は早朝に明るく、もう一方は後から明るくなりました。記録用紙を掲示してほかのクラスも昼休みに確認できました。観察は1週間だけで、全国の学校に一般化できません。

英文全文和訳
20人のボランティアが川の清掃で2班に分かれ、瓶と紙を別の場所で集めました。作業前に手袋と安全説明があり、車が通る道路付近で働くため説明が重要でした。割れたガラスは訓練済みの人に回収してもらいました。場所ごとに袋の重さを別々に量ったため、どちらの場所で多く回収したか分かりました。町のごみすべてを回収したとは主張していません。

ウェストベイ校は生徒新聞のオンライン版を始めましたが、ネット環境が不安定な生徒向けに紙の版も図書室に残しました。この対応により紙版が完全になくなったわけではありません。生徒は先生の確認を受けて記事と写真を掲載し続けます。学期末に読者調査を行い、その結果でデザイン変更を考える予定ですが、調査は未実施です。

市立図書館の作文講座は定員16人で、希望者多数のため抽選しました。落選者はキャンセル待ちに入れますが席は確約されません。この違いを結果メールで説明しました。辞退者が出ると待機者へ土曜正午までの返答を求め、2人が期限までに返信しなかったので次の希望者へ席を提案しました。講座は日曜で、確定していない人は早く来ても参加できませんでした。

地域の団体が学校へ苗木12本を寄贈し、6本ずつ運動場付近と図書室の裏に植えました。水の量を同じにすることで成長を比べやすくしました。生徒は週1回高さを記録し、学校の地図の横に記録を掲示しました。この展示で保護者も位置と成長の変化を理解できました。異なる気候のすべての木へ結果を一般化していません。
博物館の音声と紙の案内|解答と根拠
- D.Providing both audio and printed explanations 音声と紙の二つを提供することを指す。
- B.The effect of the clearer signs 改善した表示の効果は翌月確認予定。
- A.To show the correct return location. people had returned devices to wrong location。

英文全文和訳
歴史博物館は展示の音声解説を導入しましたが、紙の説明も残しました。両方を提供することで来訪者が情報の受け取り方を選べます。返却窓口を間違う人がいたため案内表示を改善し、翌月に誤返却件数を比較する予定です。改善の効果はまだ測定されず、すべての問題が解決されたとも断定していません。端末は閉館までに返却する必要があります。

- C.The date when Route Seven returns 工事が長引き得るので復旧日が未確定。

道路工事で7番バスの地域センター前の停留所が使えなくなり、約200m離れたヒル通りが仮停留所になりました。時刻表は変わっていません。元の停留所に掲示を出したことで、7番が来ない場所で待つのを防ぐ助けになりました。9番は元の停留所を使います。月曜に工事を確認しますが、7番が戻る日はまだ不明です。公式の更新案内を確認する必要があります。
