①The United Nations has named March 22nd World Water Day to focus attention on the importance of fresh, clean water and to promote the sustainable management of fresh water resources.
②As urban populations and economies increase, so do water demands for cities and industry, leaving less for agriculture.
③Food security is critically dependent on a supply of clean water.
④We must develop more efficient water supply systems, eliminate leaks, and make sure that water is stored and distributed properly.
⑤In Australia people called Aborigines regarded the rainbow snakes as one of the creators of the earth.
⑥The issue of obesity rarely discussed before has attracted more public attention because of the documentary film.
⑦In order to promote his products, Sir Thomas Lipton had men dressed as Indians march through the city with placards.
①はnameが他動詞であることが意識して読めたか(さらに言うと5文型だとわかったか)。あとはsustainable management of fresh water resources.を「きれいな水源を維持できるように管理すること」と訳せれば完璧です。
②はsoがわかればOK
③はcriticallyを含め~lyとdependent on a supply of~を①と同様に動詞っぽく訳せればOK
今日は土浦一高、竹園高校3年生の基礎英語の授業でした。
基礎英語に関しては、語彙力がまだまだ不十分と思うので、
語彙力がそのまま点数に表れるような長文を選びました。
以下が、設問で聞かれた単語です。いくつ覚えているでしょうか。
sustainable
intense
sufficient
make a living
eliminate
distribute
achieve
employ
この中で、employだけは普段出てくる「雇う」の意味ではなく、useの意味でした。
普段から言っていることですが、まずは1単語につき1個の意味を確実におさえましょう。マイナーな意味についてはこのような機会に覚えてくれればいいのです(間違える経験を通したほうが記憶も定着しやすくなります)。
その他、授業で触れた例文を列挙しておきます。

④はmake sureができればOK
⑤~⑦は「他動詞なのに目的語がない=分詞(過去分詞)」とわかってSVOCがとれればOKです。
