Sample Miyazaki Entrance English Practice Questions

1You hear: "What time does the library open?" Which response is correct if it opens at 9:00?
A.It opens at nine.
B.It opens at nine hours.
C.It open at nine.
D.It opening at nine.
Explanation: For a third-person singular subject (it), the present tense takes -s: "It opens at nine." "nine hours" is wrong for clock time, "open" lacks the -s, and "opening" needs an auxiliary (is opening). This is a listening-style question rendered as text for study.
2You hear: "How was the movie?" The speaker wants to know the listener's impression. Which reply fits?
A.It is a movie.
B.It was really exciting.
C.Yes, I do.
D.I went there by bus.
Explanation: "How was…?" asks for an evaluation/impression, so an adjective description like "It was really exciting" fits. "It is a movie" states a fact, "Yes, I do" answers a yes/no do-question, and "by bus" answers a how-transportation question.
3Choose the correct word to complete: "There _____ many books on the shelf."
A.be
B.is
C.are
D.was
Explanation: The subject "many books" is plural, so the verb is "are": "There are many books on the shelf." In a there-construction the verb agrees with the following noun (books, plural). "is/was" are singular and "be" is bare infinitive.
4Choose the correct passive form: "This song _____ by many people."
A.is singing
B.sings
C.sang
D.is sung
Explanation: Passive voice is be + past participle: "is sung" (be + sung). "This song is sung by many people" means many people sing it. "sings/sang" are active, and "is singing" is active progressive. The by-phrase is optional and is dropped when the doer is obvious or unimportant, as in "English is spoken here."
5Choose the correct comparative sentence: "My brother is _____ than I am."
A.taller
B.tall
C.tallest
D.more tall
Explanation: The comparative (than) uses the -er form for short adjectives: "taller." "tall" is the base form, "tallest" is superlative, and "more tall" is wrong because tall is a one-syllable adjective taking -er, not more. Short adjectives take -er, while adjectives of three or more syllables take "more"; never use both at once.
6Choose the correct relative pronoun: "The woman _____ lives next door is a doctor."
A.which
B.who
C.whose
D.what
Explanation: The relative pronoun for a person as subject is "who": "The woman who lives next door is a doctor." "which" is for things, "whose" shows possession, and "what" is not used as a relative pronoun in this way. Choose the relative pronoun by asking two questions: is the antecedent a person or a thing, and does the pronoun act as subject, object or possessive inside the clause?
7Choose the correct tense: "I _____ in Miyazaki for ten years."
A.am living
B.lived
C.have lived
D.live
Explanation: With "for ten years" indicating a period continuing to the present, the present perfect "have lived" is correct. "lived" (simple past) would imply the period is over, "am living" is present progressive (no duration), and "live" is simple present (no duration).
8Choose the word closest in meaning to "happy."
A.tired
B.sad
C.angry
D.glad
Explanation: "Glad" is a near-synonym of "happy," both meaning pleased/joyful. "sad," "angry," and "tired" are unrelated or opposite emotions. Vocabulary synonym questions appear in the fill-in section.
9Choose the correct article: "I bought _____ umbrella because it was raining."
A.an
B.a
C.the
D.no article
Explanation: Because the listener does not know the umbrella yet, it is indefinite and singular; "umbrella" starts with a vowel sound (/ʌm/), so the article is "an." "a" is for consonant sounds, "the" is for known/specific items. What matters is the sound, not the spelling: "a university" takes "a" because it begins with a /juː/ sound.
10Choose the correct infinitive usage: "I went to the station _____ a ticket."
A.buying
B.to buy
C.bought
D.buy
Explanation: "To buy" (to-infinitive of purpose) expresses the goal of going: "I went to the station to buy a ticket." "buying" (gerund/participle), "bought" (past), and "buy" (bare) do not express purpose here.

Miyazaki Entrance English Study Tips from Top Performers

1Train listening actively — at 50 minutes the paper rewards fast listening; practice grasping key words, numbers, times, dates, and the correct response from a single hearing, and take quick notes.
2Drill core junior-high grammar (tense, articles, prepositions, comparatives, relative clauses and pronouns, passive voice, infinitive/gerund, modals, and conditionals) — the fill-in and 整序英作文 items reward fast, accurate structural judgment.
3For 整序英作文, practice standard English order (Subject + Verb + Object + Place + Time), adverb-of-frequency position, question form, double-object order, and passive and conditional patterns.
4Build long-passage (長文) reading speed: read the questions first, locate answers quickly, and track pronoun reference and word meaning in context.
5For 条件作文, practice the required grammar (first conditional, subjunctive 'If I were…') and meet the word count with a clear structure.
6Manage time across all five 大問 within the 50-minute limit: do the listening items first when freshest, and leave enough time for the story long-passage and conditional composition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the real Miyazaki English paper a multiple-choice test?

No — the real paper is a written + listening exam administered in Japanese with English as the tested subject, and it includes a listening section (リスニング) and a conditional composition (条件作文) that use constructed responses. This 100-question bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, not a reproduction or format simulation of the official paper. MCQs cannot simulate the listening or conditional-composition sections.

Are these questions official past exam problems?

No. This bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, covering listening strategies, grammar, vocabulary, conversation, writing, and reading comprehension — not an official translation or format simulation.

How long is the English paper and what is the maximum score?

The English paper is a single 50-minute exam (including the リスニング listening section) scored out of 100 points, sat as one of five academic-test subjects totaling 500 points on Day 1 of the 一般入学者選抜 (国語・理科・英語).

How are the academic test and report card combined in Miyazaki's 一般入学者選抜?

Miyazaki's 一般入学者選抜 uses the academic test (500 points) and the report card (調査書, 135-point base across 9 教科, 5段階, 中学1–3年). Each school chooses its own 学力:調査書 ratio. Some schools apply 傾斜配点 (up to 2 subjects, up to 1.5×). Selection is by rank order within each school's quota; there is no single prefecture-wide pass line.

How much is the Miyazaki entrance selection fee?

Yes. The official 実施要綱 sets the entrance selection fee at 2,200 yen for the full-time course (全日制) and 950 yen for the part-time course (定時制), paid in Miyazaki Prefecture revenue stamps (宮崎県収入証紙). It is not refunded if the application is withdrawn. This is a selection fee only and is separate from tuition.

Can MCQs simulate the listening or conditional-composition sections?

No. The listening section requires hearing audio and the conditional composition requires writing a short English composition. Four-option MCQs cannot reproduce either task. This bank instead offers listening-strategy items based on a described spoken script and conditional-composition strategy items (e.g., first conditional and subjunctive forms) to help prepare.
