共通テスト英語ではリーディングの総語彙数が増え、リスニングの比重が高く なり一回しか読まれない部分が登場します。出題者側が英語を英語で理解する能 力を求めているのは明らかです。
英語を英語で理解する、いわば英英思考力を問う問題はセンター試験英語でも出題されています。
以下は、文中に登場する難単語、難熟語の英英語義を文脈から判断して選択する問題で、ある有名予備校講師をして「この問題には対策の立てようがない」と嘆かせた受験テクニックの通用しない良問です。
問１ The Browns drove from Sapporo to Furano in a rental car. While they were driving,the four children kept talking and screaming because they were excited. Their laughter,giggles, and constant shouting bothered Mr. Brown. Several times, he asked them to be quiet. However, they did not listen to their father. Mr. Brown was becoming very angry,and finally he said to them, “You're asking for it!”
In this situation, “You're asking for it!” means “ ”
① Ask your brother if you want it! ② I'll pay you to be quiet!
③ Let's ask for directions! ④ This is the last warning!
問２ Are acts of altruism unique to human beings? From my experience I must say that they are also present in the animal world. I was raised on a farm and was brought up surrounded by animals. Once I was being attacked by a large dog and began yelling for help. A horse came running from a distant field and chased away the dog. We also had a dog that protected our cat. When the cat was being attacked by other dogs, our dog drove them away by barking.
Here, altruism means .
① acting bravely to protect one's own honor ② being true to oneself as well as to others
③ doing something for the sake of others ④ using your brain to understand a situation
※正解は問１④ 問２③となります。
ask for it : 自業自得だぞ altruism : 利他主義はほとんどの大学受験生が知らないレベルの単熟語ですので、知識ではなく英英思考力を試すことのできる良問です。
ただし日常学習としては入試頻出のキーワードを使って作成した問題を演習する方が効率的です。出ない単語を覚えても入試の役には立ちません。
