Sample Miyazaki Entrance Japanese Practice Questions

1Which reading of the kanji 「夕」is used in the word 夕方 (ゆうがた, "evening")?
A.ゆう
B.せき
C.ばん
D.
Explanation: In 夕方 the kanji 夕 is read with its 訓読み (kun reading) ゆう. The word means "evening" and is a common junior-high vocabulary item. 夕 also appears in 夕日 (ゆうひ) and 夕食 (ゆうしょく), all using the ゆう reading.
2Which word is a 同音異義語 (homophone) of 「機会」(きかい, "opportunity")?
A.期待 (きたい, "expectation")
B.機械 (きかい, "machine")
C.期間 (きかん, "period")
D.気配 (けはい, "sign")
Explanation: 機会 (きかい, opportunity) and 機械 (きかい, machine) share the same reading きかい but differ in meaning and kanji, so they are 同音異義語. The Miyazaki kokugo paper regularly tests 同音異義語, and this is a classic pair.
3Which particle best completes the sentence 「私__学校へ行く」to mean "I go to school"?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Explanation: は marks the topic of the sentence; 私は ("as for me") sets 私 as the topic and is the natural choice for the neutral statement "I go to school." が would mark 私 as the subject with a narrower, exhaustive nuance, while は is standard for a plain declarative.
4What is the 終止形 (basic dictionary form, 基本形) of the verb 「書いた」(wrote)?
A.書とう
B.書き
C.書け
D.書く
Explanation: 書いた is the past form of the 五段 (godan) verb 書く: the 連用形 書き undergoes イ音便 to 書い before た. Stripping the past ending returns the 終止形 (基本形) 書く, the form listed in dictionaries. The verb belongs to the か行五段活用 group.
5Which of the following is the 謙譲語 (humble form) of 「行く」(go)?
A.参る (まいる)
B.行かれる
C.いらっしゃる
D.ご説明する
Explanation: 参る is the 謙譲語 (humble form) of 行く, used to lower the speaker's own action in respect to the listener. 行かれる/いらっしゃる are 尊敬語 (respectful) forms of 行く/いる, and ご説明する is a humble pattern for する, not 行く.
6In a passage, the sentence 「窓から光が差し込んでいた。」is followed by 「部屋は明るかった。」What relationship does ていた most directly express here?
A.A future intention
B.An ongoing state/background at that moment
C.A negation
D.A command
Explanation: ていた (past progressive/resultative) describes a continuing state or background in the past — light was streaming in (an ongoing condition). It sets the scene for the next sentence (the room was bright), a common descriptive pattern in literary passages.
7Which word best matches the meaning of 「効率」(こうりつ) as used in an expository text about studying?
A.result
B.effect
C.efficiency
D.effort
Explanation: 効率 (こうりつ) means "efficiency" — the ratio of useful output to input, or doing something with minimal waste. In a study context, 学習効率 refers to how efficiently one learns. The 効 (こう) relates to effect/efficacy and 率 (りつ) to a rate.
8In a 漢文 (kanbun) passage, the mark 「一」is placed to the lower-right of character A and 「二」to the lower-right of character B. What does this indicate when reading in 訓読 (kundoku) order?
A.Skip the marked characters
B.Read the character marked 二 before 一
C.Read both simultaneously
D.Read the character marked 一 before the character marked 二
Explanation: These are 一二三点 (also called 順点), numerical return marks (返り点) that set the reading order in 訓読. The character with 一 is read first, then the character with 二, regardless of the written left-to-right order. 返り点 reverse the visual order for correct Japanese reading.
9Which is a 再読文字 (a kanbun character read twice, once before and once after the following phrase)?
A.未 (いまだ…ず)
B.也 (なり)
C.焉 (えん)
D.乎 (こ)
Explanation: 未 is a 再読文字 meaning "not yet," read once as いまだ before the phrase and again as (…ず) after it, in the pattern 未だ…ず. 也/焉/乎 are 置き字 (characters placed but not read aloud as content words in the same way) rather than the two-part 再読 pattern.
10In classical Japanese, 係り結び (kakari-musubi) uses a focusing particle such as ぞ or なむ. What form does the predicate take in response?
A.終止形 (terminal form)
B.連体形 (attributive form)
C.命令形 (imperative form)
D.未然形 (irrealis form)
Explanation: In 係り結び, the focusing particles ぞ, なむ, や, and か force the predicate into the 連体形 (attributive/noun-modifying form) instead of the 終止形. For example, 花ぞ咲きける uses the 連体形 ける rather than the 終止形 けり. Note the one exception: こそ takes the 已然形 instead, giving こそ…已然形.

1Drill kanji readings and writing steadily across all three years of junior high; the kanji and vocabulary items reward fast, accurate recall of on-yomi, kun-yomi, okurigana, and jukugo.
2Master core grammar: parts of speech, particles, verb/adjective conjugation, 係り受け modifiers, 敬語, and 助動詞 — the grammar items reward fast structural judgment.
3For 古文, memorize classical conjugation, 助動詞, and 係り結び rules (ぞ・なむ・や → 連体形; こそ → 已然形), plus 再読文字 and 漢文返り点 basics.
4Build reading speed for both literary and expository passages: read the questions first, locate answers quickly, and track logical connectives (しかし/したがって/だからこそ) and paragraph roles.
