12/13 からの単語
どうも。
実は忘れていたのですが,思い出したときには,テキストも残り少なかったので,
最後までいってから載っけようと考えていたわけです。
ちゅうわけで,「TOEFL TEST対策明解リーディング」,最後まで終わりました。
ほぼすべて,ディクテーションしましたよ。
また,スピードも遅かったので,foobar2000 で18%アップの1.18倍速で聞きました。
完成度がちと低めのテキストでしたが,たっぷりとあるので,まぁよかったなぁと。
あと,これをもしやるなら,CD は必須だと思います。
また,これにでてくる知らない単語をつぶしていったら,単語力も結構つくと思います。
その際には,復習を大事にね。ワタシは数年前にこのテキストをやり,
今回再度やっているわけですが,以前やったときに知らない単語にマルをつけてあり,
今回やったら,やはり同じ単語にチェックが入るという,
なんとも,これぞ反面教師にぴったり的なことをやりましたよっと。
次にやるテキストについて,悩みましたが,英検の過去問が未消化だったことに気付いたので,
そちらをやっていく予定です。リスニング部分のディクテーションね。
リーディング部分はどうしようか迷い中。

sodium | ナトリウム | The ten most abundant elements are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, hydrogen, and titanium. |
potassium | カリウム | |
magnesium | マグネシウム | |
bismuth | ビスマス,蒼鉛 | All the elements heavier than lead and bismuth are radioactive because of instability of their nuclear structures. |
diagonally | 対角線的に,斜めに | The Periodic Table may be divided diagonally into a major region of metals, a minor region of nonmetals, and a band of metalloid elements in between. |
metalloid | 半金属 | |
thorium | トリウム | Some of the helium which escaped from rock containing uranium and thorium has collected in very old pockets of natural gase underground, and it can be isolated by compressing and cooling until it becomes liquefied and then distilling off the helium as the lowest boiling constituent. |
liquefied | 液体化する | |
blimps | 小型軟式飛行船,飛行船 | The helium so collected is expensive, but it is a valuable gas for inflating blimps and weather balloons, and it provides a blanket of unreactive gas for the arc welding of aluminum. |
arc welding | アーク溶接 | |
lattice | 格子 | Graphite, with its open layer lattice and low density, is attacked even at room temperature by acids and oxdizing agents which penetrate its layers and cause it to swell. |
agents | 力,動因,媒介 | |
covalent | 共有原子価の,共有結合性の | Graphite is a fair conductor of electricity because not all of its available electrons are not tied down in covalent bonds. |
molybdenum | モリブデン | Coal my be hydrogenated at 475 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 250 atomospheres with molybdenum sulfide as catalyst. |
sulfide | 硫化物 | |
lubricant | 潤滑油 | It may be refined in the same way as crude oil to give gasoline, diesel oil, and lubricant. |
liquefaction | 液化,液状化 | Since the United States has enormous reserves of coal, exceeding our petroleum supply many times over, we shall probably see a similar procedure for the liquefaction of coal in use in this country before long. |
sigmoid | S字状の | The entire curve of growth looks like an S, and is said to be sigmoid or S-like. |
emigrations | 移住【出て行く方】 | It simply means that the total number of births plus immigrations equals the total number of deaths plus emigrations. |
equilibrium | 平衡,つり合い | When this equilibrium is reached, the potential rate of growth is balanced by the environmental resistance. |
thermostat | サーモスタット,温度自動調整器 | No new technology is required to turn off unused lights, drive to work in carpools, or turn the thermostat down and put on a sweater. |
caulk | 詰める,隙間をなくす | Industry officials have found that it is cheaper to give people money to insulate their homes, caulk leaky windows, and so on than it is to build new power plants and sell additional electricity. |
leaky | もれやすい | |
spun | 紡いで取る,回転させる | The dividing cells are then broken open, spun in a centrifuge in order to concentrate, placed on a microscope slide, and stained with dyes that are selectively taken up from the chromosomes. |
centrifuge | 遠心分離器 | |
concentrate | 濃縮する,集める | |
dyes | 染料 | |
karyotype | 核型【個々の体細胞に固有の染色体の数・大きさ・形の型】 | The indivisual chromosomes are then cut out of the enlarged photograph like paper dolls and lined up in matching pairs of diminishing size to form a karyotype. |
constriction | 狭窄,染色体狭窄,収縮 | Also note that all chromosomes have a primary constriction, or centromere, from which the arms extend. |
centromere | セントロメア,動原体 | |
phenotypic | 表現型の | Those who have Turner's syndrome are phenotypic females; that is their genitalia are recognizably femails. |
genitalia | 生殖器,生殖の | |
uterus | 子宮,reproductive organs, womb | But these women are generally steril because most of them have an underdeveloped uterus and no functional ovarian tissue. |
ovarian | 卵巣の | |
webbing | 帯ヒモ | Other features of Turner's syndrome are short stature, distinctive facial features, a broad shield-like chest, and a peculiar webbing of hte neck. |
testes | 精巣,睾丸, reproductive organs | Persons with Klinefelter's syndrome are phenotypic males, but they usually have very small testes and are steril. |
parallel | 平行する,匹敵する,相当する | But differences in traits are neither superficial nor readily visible parallel the superficial differences of human races to only a limited degree. |
alleles | 対立遺伝子 | In fact, their is so much biochemical overlap that people cannot be assigned with certainty to a given race solely on the particular alleles contained within their genetic programs. |
