英検2級 サンプル問題Part 1・15問

B Did you finish the poster for tomorrow's science fair?

A Almost, but the printer in the library stopped working. Could you print the final page at home tonight?

B I can, but send me the file before seven. I have basketball practice after that.

A Thanks. I'll email it during lunch and bring the other pages tomorrow.

Question What does the girl ask the boy to do?

A Good afternoon. I reserved a quiet room for two nights under the name Laura Green.

B I found your reservation, Ms. Green. The quiet room won't be ready until six, but a room near the elevator is available now.

A I'd rather wait. Can I leave my suitcase here while I get something to eat?

B Certainly. We'll keep it behind the front desk and call you when your room is ready.

Question What does the man say about the quiet room?

B I'm starting dinner now. We have an unexpected guest tonight.

A Really? I thought we were going to eat at the new Thai restaurant.

B Dad is bringing Grandma over, and she doesn't like spicy food. Could you set the table?

A Sure. I'll make a salad too. The soup and chicken should be enough for the main dishes.

Question Why is the man preparing dinner at home?

B The monthly sales report is due tomorrow, and I'm still checking the figures from our Osaka office.

A I finished my section early. I can review those figures after lunch if that would help.

B That would be great. I'll send you the spreadsheet and mark the numbers that look unusual.

A Perfect. I have a meeting at two, so I'll look at it before then.

Question What does the woman offer to do?

A Excuse me, does this bus stop at the city art museum?

B Not today. The road in front of the museum is closed, so this bus only goes as far as Central Station.

A I see. Is there another way to get there from the station?

B Take the Green Line train one stop, then walk two blocks north. The museum entrance is across from the post office.

Question Where will the woman probably go first?

A Are you still going to the outdoor movie Friday? We first planned to bring folding chairs.

B I was, but rain is likely, and I don't own an umbrella. I may watch at home.

A I have an extra one. The chairs may sink into wet ground, so a blanket would be better.

B Great. I'll meet you at the park gate and bring a large blanket.

Question What will the man bring to the movie?

B I'd like to renew this travel guide, but the machine says I can't.

A Let me check. Another reader has requested it, so it must be returned today.

B That's unfortunate. I'm leaving for Italy next week and hoped to take it with me.

A We have an electronic copy you can borrow for two weeks. I can show you how to download it.

Question What do we learn about returning the printed travel guide?

A I ordered the vegetable pasta, but this plate has chicken in it.

B I'm sorry. I must have picked up another table's order.

A Could you bring the vegetable pasta instead? Please leave the bread, though; we haven't touched it yet.

B Of course. I'll replace the pasta right away, and you can keep the bread.

Question What does the woman ask the man to bring?

B Hello. I have an appointment at ten tomorrow, but my train has been canceled.

A I can move your appointment to two thirty, or you can come Thursday morning.

B Two thirty tomorrow would work. Do I need to arrive early for any forms?

A Just ten minutes early. Your information from last year is still in our system.

Question Why did the man call the woman?

A The neighborhood clean-up is this Saturday, but I heard you have a tennis match that morning.

B That's right. I can't help in the park, but I could collect the filled trash bags after my match.

A That would solve our transportation problem. I'll ask volunteers to leave the bags beside the east gate.

B Good. My brother has a small truck, and he said I could borrow it.

Question What will the man do after his tennis match?

A Hi. I bought this jacket yesterday, but the zipper gets stuck halfway up.

B I'm sorry about that. We can exchange it, or I can give you a full refund.

A I'd like the same jacket in a larger size, if you have one.

B We have blue ones today. Gray jackets arrive Friday, and black ones won't be here until next Tuesday.

Question When will the black jackets be available?

B Our flight leaves at six tomorrow morning. Should we book a taxi to the airport?

A Taxis are expensive that early. The hotel shuttle begins at five, but it takes forty minutes.

B That would be too late. The night bus reaches the airport at four thirty and stops across the street.

A Then let's take the night bus. We can walk from the stop to the terminal.

Question How will they travel to the airport?

A Mr. Clark, I finished my history presentation, but it's almost twelve minutes long.

B The limit is eight minutes, so you'll need to shorten it before Monday.

A I could remove the section about early trade routes. It has the most detailed map.

B Keep the map. Instead, cut the two examples at the end; they repeat points you already made.

Question What does the man suggest removing?

B Could you cover the early shift tomorrow? I need to take my son to the dentist.

A I wish I could, but I have a video meeting with our Singapore office at eight.

B Then I'll ask someone else. Would you be able to take my Friday afternoon shift instead?

A Yes, that works. My meeting on Friday ends before noon.

Question Why can't the woman cover the early shift?

A This package was left outside my apartment, but the label has your unit number.

B Oh, it's the coffee maker I ordered. I thought it would arrive tomorrow.

A The box is wet from the rain, though. You should check whether anything inside was damaged.

B Thanks for bringing it over. I'll open it now and contact the store if there's a problem.

Question What surprised the man about the package?
