（ ）に入れるのに最もよいものを、1・2・3・4から一つ選びなさい。
子どものときによく遊んだ友達と、十年会っていませんでしたが、昨日（ ）会いました。
Explanation: The sentence says that the speaker had not seen this childhood friend for ten years, so 久しぶりに (“after a long time”) is the only expression that fits the situation. 初めて (“for the first time”) is impossible because they already knew and played together as children; 毎日 (“every day”) contradicts the fact that they had not met for ten years and does not fit with 昨日 (“yesterday”); and さっき (“a little while ago”) normally refers to a short time before the present moment, so it cannot naturally describe an event specified as happening yesterday.
ラジオの音で電話の声が聞こえないので、ラジオを（ ）ください。
Explanation: Because the radio is making it difficult to hear the person on the phone, the speaker is asking someone to stop or turn off the radio, so 止めて is the only choice that fits the context. 直して means “fix,” which would imply that the radio is broken; つけて means “turn on,” which would make the problem worse; and 持って means “hold/carry,” which does not solve the problem of the loud sound.
つぎのことばの使い方として最もよいものを、1・2・3・4から一つ選びなさい。
見舞い
Explanation: 見舞い means visiting someone who is sick, injured, or hospitalized to see how they are doing, so it is correctly used for visiting a friend who is in the hospital. It is not used for going to see exhibits at a museum, receiving treatment for your own toothache, or inspecting an apartment you may want to rent.
予報
Explanation: 予報 means a forecast or prediction, especially about future conditions such as the weather, so 天気予報 is the natural and correct use. It is not used for giving directions, announcing the names of people who passed an exam, or writing personal information on a form.
つぎの文の（ ）に入れるのに最もよいものを、1・2・3・4から一つ選びなさい。
A:「この書類は、金曜日に出してもいいですか。」
B:「いいえ、木曜日までです。金曜日では遅いので、木曜日までに（ ）。」
Explanation: Because Friday is too late and the deadline is Thursday, the speaker is expressing an obligation to submit the document by Thursday, so 出さなくてはいけません (“must submit”) is the only choice that fits. 出してはいけません means “must not submit,” 出したいです means “want to submit,” and 出すかもしれません means “might submit,” none of which expresses the required deadline.
母からの手紙に「来月、田舎に新しい駅ができます」と書いてありました。田舎に新しい駅が（ ）。
Explanation: The letter says that a new station will be built next month, so できるそうです is used to report this information with そうです (“I heard/it says that”). できているそうです means the station is already completed or exists, and できたそうです means it has already been completed, both of which contradict 来月 (“next month”); できないそうです means that the station will not be built, which is the opposite of what the letter says.
二百円のパンを買いたいのですが、財布には百円（ ）ありません。ほかにお金を持っていないので、買えません。
Explanation: 「しか」 is used with a negative form to express a limited amount, so 「百円しかありません」 means that the speaker has no more than 100 yen, which matches the context of not having enough money to buy the 200-yen bread. 「だけ」 can also express limitation, but 「百円だけありません」 does not mean “I only have 100 yen”; it would instead mean that only the 100 yen is missing or unavailable. 「は」 and 「も」 do not express the same limited-amount meaning required here.
山田さんから「明日の結婚式には行きません」と電話がありました。山田さんは、明日の結婚式には（ ）言っていました。
Explanation: When reporting what someone said, と is used after the plain form of the quoted statement, so 行きません changes to the plain negative form 行かない before と. 行った means “went,” 行かなかった means “did not go,” and 行こう expresses intention such as “let’s go” or “I will go,” so none of them matches the original statement about not attending tomorrow’s wedding.
A:「コーヒーをどうぞ。」
B:「ありがとうございます。でも、さっき二杯も（ ）、今はお茶がいいです。」
Explanation: The speaker says they would prefer tea now because they already drank two cups of coffee a short while ago, so 飲んだので correctly gives the reason for refusing more coffee. 飲もうと思うので means “because I am thinking of drinking,” which does not match さっき; 飲んでから means “after drinking” and does not by itself give the needed reason in this sentence; and 飲む前に means “before drinking,” which contradicts the fact that the two cups were already consumed.

つぎの文章を読んで、文章全体の内容を考えて、ⒶからⒺの中に入る最もよいものを、1・2・3・4から一つ選びなさい。
日曜日、弟が台所でケーキを作っていました。弟はあまり料理をしません。一人でちゃんとⒶ、私は少し心配でした。でも、昼にはおいしそうなケーキが出来ました。
私が「もう食べてもいい？」と聞くと、弟は「夜、みんなで食べよう。それまで冷蔵庫にⒷ」と言って、ケーキを冷蔵庫に入れました。
夜、母が帰ってくると、弟はケーキを出して、「お母さん、誕生日おめでとう！」と言いました。どうして夜まで待つのか、そのとき分かりました。今日は母の誕生日だったⒸ。
母は喜んで、「Ⓓ、ケーキの写真を撮ろう。まだ切らないでね」と言って、カメラを取りに行きました。でも、私は母の話を聞いていなくて、ケーキをⒺ。戻ってきた母を見て、「あっ、ごめん！」と言いました。
母は「いいよ。みんなも一緒に写真に入って」と言いました。その夜は、切ったケーキの前で家族みんなで写真を撮りました。
Ⓐ
Explanation: 「〜かどうか」 is used when the speaker is uncertain about whether something is true or possible, so it fits naturally with 「心配でした」 because the speaker does not know whether her brother can successfully make the cake by himself. 「作れるので」 means “because he can make it,” and 「作れるそうなので」 means that the speaker has heard that he can make it, both of which conflict with the reason for being worried. 「作れるようになって」 means that he has become able to make it, which also suggests an established ability rather than uncertainty. Therefore, only 「作れるかどうか」 expresses the intended doubt naturally in this context.
Ⓑ
Explanation: 「〜ておく」 is used for doing something in advance or leaving something in a certain state in preparation for later, which fits because the brother plans to keep the cake in the refrigerator until everyone eats it at night. 「入れてある」 describes something that has already been put there intentionally, while 「入れてきた」 means that he went and put it there and then returned, and 「入れてあった」 describes a past state in which it had already been put there. Since the following sentence explicitly says that he puts the cake in the refrigerator after speaking, only 「入れておくよ」 matches the sequence of events naturally.
Ⓒ
Explanation: 「〜からです」 is used to explain the reason for something, so it fits naturally after 「そのとき分かりました」 because the speaker has just realized why they had to wait until night. 「かもしれません」 expresses uncertainty, 「かどうか分かりません」 explicitly says that the speaker does not know whether something is true, and 「でしょう」 expresses probability or expectation. Since the context shows that the reason has become clear, only 「からです」 matches both the grammar and the meaning.
Ⓓ
Explanation: 「Vる前に」 means “before doing V” and fits the sequence because the mother wants to take a picture while the cake is still whole. 「食べてから」 and 「食べた後で」 both mean that the picture would be taken after eating, which contradicts 「まだ切らないでね」. 「食べたら」 can mean “when/after you eat,” so it also places the photo after the eating begins. Therefore, only 「食べる前に」 matches the context naturally and unambiguously.
Ⓔ
Explanation: 「〜てしまいました」 is used when an action is completed and often carries a sense of regret, accident, or an undesirable result, which fits because the speaker cuts the cake despite the mother having said not to cut it yet. 「切ってみたかったです」 only expresses a desire to try cutting it, 「切ろうとしていました」 means that the speaker was only about to cut it, and 「切らないつもりでした」 means that the speaker intended not to cut it. Since the later context shows that the cake was actually cut, only 「切ってしまいました」 fits naturally and unambiguously.
つぎの文章を読んで、質問に答えなさい。答えは、1・2・3・4から最もよいものを一つ選びなさい。
母がその写真を部屋に置いているのは、どうしてですか。
Explanation: The mother likes this photo because it reminds her of what the family did together that day. She explains that when she looks at it, she can remember everyone eating delicious food and having a good time talking. For her, the memory of the family enjoying the meal together is more important than having a photo in which everyone’s face can be seen clearly.
机に置いてある書類を十枚コピーしていただけませんか。さっき、書類に書いてある電話番号が違うと田中さんが教えてくれました。正しい番号は田中さんが知っています。私は今から出かけるので、田中さんに聞いて、番号を直してからコピーしてください。コピーは明日使います。今日の午後、私が帰ってから、ほかに違うところがないか一緒に見ましょう。
山本
山本さんが帰る前に、佐藤さんは何をしますか。
Explanation: Before Yamamoto returns, Sato needs to ask Tanaka for the correct phone number, fix the number on the document, and then make ten copies. The order is important because Yamamoto specifically says to correct the number before copying, while checking for any other mistakes will be done together after Yamamoto comes back.
