2 Although casinos seem to bring [22] economic advantages, their track
record has been mixed. To find an obvious example, we simply need to look at
Macau. Since the liberalization of casino licensing in 2002, revenues in Macau
reached over $45 billion in 2013 before crashing over political worries. Today,
even after a 10% recovery, they remain around $33 billion. Similarly, the annual
revenues of casino gambling in Singapore peaked at $4 billion in 2013; a considerable
sum, but less than 1.3% of GDP. [23]

23. Based on Paragraph 2, by how much did Macau's casino revenues decline
as a result of the 2013 crash? Answer by filling in the corresponding slot
under the number (23) on the mark sheet.
1. $12 billion
2.
$15 billion
3. $30 billion
4.
$33 billion

2. 設問と関連性の強い段落本文の特定(＝設問と共通する語句が多い本文を見つける)と内容理解 → 3～5行目の2つの文の内容理解
Since the liberalization of casino licensing in 2003, revenues in Macau reached over $45 billion in 2013 before crashing over political worries. Today, even after a 10% recovery, they remain around $33 billion.
2003年にカジノ営業許可が自由化されて以来、マカオの収益は2013年に450億ドル以上に達したが、政治的な懸念から暴落した。 現在、10％回復した後でも、収益は330億ドル程に留まっている。
⇒ $45 billion ー $33 billion ＝ $12 billion → 正解 1. $12 billion
