模範解答(旺文社)
One day, a woman was passing by the station.
A young man suddenly approached her and launched into a sales pitch about cosmetics. She was annoyed by his forceful attitude and wanted to leave, but the man persuaded her to come to his booth and look at the products.
He claimed that he could sell her the cosmetics at 15,000 yen less than the retail price. Although she was hesitant at first, the man was very persuasive. The products looked good and the price seemed reasonable, so in the end, she agreed to make a purchase. She handed the man 20,000 yen in cash.
Later that day when she was window-shipping, she was shocked to find the same products at a much lower price in another shop. She felt that the salesman had tricked her.
She ran back to the booth to complain and return the cosmetics, but the man was gone. She regretted that she'd bought the products without shopping around first.

久しぶりにやってみると、思いのほか苦しみました。筆記は15,15,45,30くらいの配分を目安に始めたました。語彙は相変わらず難しく、見たことのない語や発音がわからないものがいくつもあったものの、点数的にはアップ。感触的には、以前と変わらなかったので意外。作文に進む。時間と、これ以上書くとボリュームが過大になるという思いから中途半端な記述になってしまった。単語の選択にも不満。大問3へ進み、後ろの問題から取り掛かる。急いでやるには語彙が難解で戦意喪失。予定時間を大幅に越えてしまう。2文章を終えたところで、時間がほとんどなくなってしまったので、大問2をその文だけから判断して解くことにしました。あがくためには、読解を1問でもやってから作文をやった方がよかった気がする。ろくに考えていない大問1の次にやる必要はなかった。
リスニングは難易にムラを感じた。難易度の高い問題を押さえられるようにする必要がある。大問2では、2問目で選択肢を読む時間が足りなくなり、ほとんどすべての問題で、次の文章の初めを聞きそびれてしまった。2問目の方だけでも先読みをしておくか、大問3,4の説明中にマークするなりの対応を考える必要がある。大問3は、従来より難しいような印象を受けた。しかし満点が絶対に必要。大問4は問題文に較べて設問が簡単な気がした。
今の語彙レベルでは、リスニングも含めて、どうにもならないことが判明した。
