1991年追試-(5)
□Do animals play? Certainly, many animals, especially the young, ①eng------- 【to take part in a particular activity】 in behavior that seems like play. But why do they play? This question is difficult to answer, even for ②exp------- 【someone who has a particular skill or who knows a lot about something】 . For one thing, there are considerable difficulties involved in observing animals at play when they are not in natural surroundings. Monkeys, for example, play a lot in the wild, but in cages it is hard to make them play when you want them to. You have to sit patiently, waiting for the right moments. And even when you do see them playing, it is still difficult to say why they are doing so.
□Scientists have ③not------- 【to become aware of someone or something】 that when two monkeys are ‘play-fighting,’ they take turns winning. One will be on top, and it will look as if he is winning. Then suddenly he will give the other a chance to take control of the action. It is believed that this kind of play helps monkeys learn to take different roles when they are older. Like humans, animals sometimes need to take charge, and sometimes follow. Monkeys seem to learn this lesson by playing.
□Another likely purpose of play is to let animals learn how to get along with others of their own age. It has been found that while baby rats kept with their brothers and sisters engage in a lot of rough play, those raised alone with their mothers play just a little. However, when rats which have only been with their mothers are put with other young rats, they play a lot more than those brought up in a large family. It seems that they make up for lost time.
□Though much remains to be discovered about animal play, studies like these do seem to ④ind------- 【to show that something exists】 that animals learn some very basic skills by taking part in play-like activities.

解答)①engage ②experts ③noticed ④indicate

□Nowadays people spend more time away from their jobs than ever before. Technological developments have steadily shortened working hours for a large part of the population, and the fact that people are living longer has also increased the amount of time spent in non-work settings. As a result, a large number of people have had to adjust to more ①lei------- 【time when you can relax and do things you enjoy without working or studying】 than they had expected, and this new-found leisure has created difficulties.
□Historically, the emphasis has been on work, and current attitudes still reflect the ②imp------- 【the effect that something has on someone or something】of this earlier way of thinking. Even today, many people still believe that leisure should be used chiefly to restore one's energy and strength for more and better work. Leisure, therefore, has been viewed as a ③mea------- 【a method for doing something】 to an end.
□Along with greater ④pro------- 【the process of making or growing something for sale in large quantities】 efficiency and higher standards of living, there is a new idea in which leisure is viewed as more than simply a restorative for work. Leisure is now regarded by an increasing number of people as an important part of ⑤con------- 【happening or belonging to the present time】 life. They think that the use of leisure time should be a satisfying experience in and of itself.
□⑥Att------- 【the opinions and feelings that you have about something, especially when this shows in the way you behave】 toward both leisure and work are changing. Increasing mechanization of work has meant that more people are now looking beyond their jobs for satisfying life experiences. This has led to some change in emphasis from job-centered activities to leisure and home-centered activities, especially among the younger generation. However, because the new idea has not entirely ⑦rep------- 【to be used instead of something】 the traditional one, many people face the problem of what role leisure should play in their lives. Some feel guilty about additional hours of free time and seek more work to avoid leisure hours, while others eagerly pursue leisure activities that ⑧res------- 【to be similar to something】 work. As working hours are shortened, a more meaningful balance has to be found between work and play.
(注) restore [rist¦®r] v. 回復する.restórative a.n. 回復させる;回復剤.

解答)①leisure ②impact ③means ④production ⑤contemporary ⑥Attitudes ⑦replaced ⑧resemble

1992-(6)
□My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with a dozen rolls of exposed film and several hundred dollars in unused traveler's checks. His blue bag lies on the hall floor where he dropped in, about four short steps into the house. Last night he slept in Paris, and the twenty nights before that in various beds in England and Scotland, but evidently he ①pos------- 【to arrange for something to take place at a later time】 as much sleep as he could; after he walked in and said hello and how much he'd missed home, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed half-unconscious for his bed, where I imagine he may break his old record of sixteen hours.
□I don't think I'll sleep for a while. This household has been in a state of excitement over the trip since weeks before it began, when we said, “In one month, you'll be in London! Imagine!” It was his first trip overseas, so we bought him travel books and a cassette tape of useful French phrases, made a list of people to visit, and advised him on clothing and other things. At the department store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he looked at a few and headed for the bags and knapsacks. He said that suitcases were for old people. I am only in my forties, though, and I pointed out that a suitcase keeps your things — a jacket, for example — neat and tidy. He said he wasn't taking a jacket. The voice of my mother spoke through me. “Don't you want to look nice?” I said, but he just turned away.
□During his trip, he called home three times: from London, from Paris, and from a town named Ullapool in Scotland. “It's like no place in America, Dad,” he reported excitedly. He hiked through flocks of Scottish sheep and climbed a mountain in a heavy rainstorm. In a village near Ullapool, a man spoke to him in the unfamiliar local language, and, too ②pol------- 【having good manners and respect for the feelings of others】 to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette was of little use in Paris; the people he spoke to ③sho------- 【to move something quickly】 their heads and walked on.
□I myself have never been outside the United States, except twice to Canada. When I was eighteen, a friend and I made a list of experiences we intended to have before we reached twenty-one, which included hitchhiking to the West Coast, learning to play the guitar, and going to Europe. I've done none of them. When my son phoned, I sat down and leaned forward, ④eag------- 【wanting to do something very much】 to catch every word. I have never listened on the telephone so intently and with so much pleasure as I did those three times. It was wonderful and moving to hear news from him. To me, he was the first man to land on the moon; I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help. The money that he'd left on the hall table — almost half the amount I sent him off with — is certainly ⑤evi------- 【the facts or objects which cause you to believe that something exists or is true】 of that.
□Youth travels light. No suitcase, no jacket, not much language, and not much money spent — and yet he went where he wanted to go, did what he wanted to do, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you've never seen is a night that you wish would last for a week.
(注) exposed film: 撮影済みのフィルム.
traveler's check: 旅行者用小切手.

解答)①postponed ②polite ③shook ④eager ⑤evidence

1992-追試(5)
□Get on a train and it is likely that several people around you will be wearing earphones. There they are in the same space, but not talking or paying ①att------- 【the act of carefully thinking about, listening to, or watching someone or something】 to one another. Though listening to a personal tape player this way has some ②vir------- 【a morally good way of behaving】 in that you don't usually disturb others, it ③all------- 【to make it possible for someone to do something】 almost no human contact. You are alone with your machine.
□A ④sim------- 【sharing some features but not exactly the same】 situation occurs with many video games. A person ⑤con------- 【to give all your attention to what you are doing】 on destroying spaceships, avoiding attackers, or shooting enemies needs no companion. True, some games do enable players to take turns, and then people might talk to each other, but in many cases the player is involved only with the machine and its program.
□In what ways are young people affected by instruments like these? Are they becoming less able to make contact with the surrounding world? This question is becoming increasingly important with the spread of personal computers. Computer technology is becoming more and more widely used in areas like ⑥com------- 【the process of exchanging information or ideas】, education, and banking. In one way or another, many people now spend a great deal of time in front of a computer screen. The fact that television frequently limits communication within families is already well known; these new developments will further lead people to live within themselves and not reach out to other people.
□At this moment in history, science seems likely to alter our society as never before. At the same time, the power of technology has become ⑦eno------- 【extremely large in size or in amount】 . Perhaps technology itself is creating individuals who are only concerned with their own interests. Will they be satisfied simply to watch events passively, without becoming involved in social decisions which may change their own life? Machines should not be allowed to ⑧rui------- 【to destroy or severely harm something】 our sense of social responsibility. Whether we admit it or not, we are all here together, and share a common ⑨fat------- 【the things that happen to someone or something, especially in a way that cannot be prevented or changed】.

解答)①attention ②virtue ③allows ④similar ⑤concentrating ⑥communications ⑦enormous ⑧ruin ⑨fate

1993-本試(5)
□In many parts of the world, the ①inf------- 【the power to have an effect on someone or something】 of television is a matter of increasing concern.For years, critics of television have concentrated on the issue of the program content —particularly violence — as it affects viewers. The problem seems especially serious with regard to younger children. There is ②evi------- 【the facts or objects which cause you to believe that something exists or is true】 that TV does in fact lead people to accept more violence in everyday life. How could this not happen when it presents violent acts, often with guns and knives, as normal and common occurrences?
□In the last few years criticism of television has moved to a new stage by shifting the focus from the subject matter to the experience of the medium itself. The problem now with TV is not just what is seen but how it is seen. The way children watch it causes them to be passive, and some evidence suggests that such viewing might even affect the development of the brain in small children.
□However, the worst aspect of television is the way it can interfere with family life. The “box” has too often become a substitute parent, taking over most of the work of introducing social and moral values to the child and developing them in him. Parents allow this to happen by using television like a drug for the purpose of keeping children quiet. Eventually the child comes to depend on the box and it becomes a necessary, lifelong ③hab------- 【something that you do often or regularly, often without thinking about it】.
□While many children go through the “television experience” and survive, many others are deeply affected by it. Much of the discussion of TV during the next few years will center on how to reduce the dangers which it presents, particularly to younger people. Already there are movements to try to ban TV advertising which is directed at children under a certain age. Perhaps this is just the beginning. In the end, some people may even go to the extreme of demanding the removal of such a powerful medium from the lives of young people. This might not be a practical ④sol------- 【a way of dealing with a problem or difficult situation】, but we should not ignore the dangers of television.

解答)①influence ②evidence ③habit ④solution

□About fifteen hundred years ago the Japanese imported many aspects of Chinese culture:the writing system, political institutions, and perhaps most important, Buddhism. Buddhist priests were ①exp------- 【to think that someone should do something】 to eat only vegetables, and tôfu, made from the soybean, was a very important food in their diet. When Buddhism was introduced from China, tôfu was also brought to Japan.
□Tôfu developed in different ways in China and Japan. While the Chinese often changed the taste of tôfu by mixing it with strongly-flavored vegetables or meat, the Japanese preferred to eat it using only a simple sauce. Even now, traditional Japanese cooking ②pre------- 【to keep something in its original state】 the original delicacy of tôfu, though the way it is served may change from season to season. In summer, for example, it is simply served cold, while in winter it is often eaten as part of a hot dish.
□The soybean was introduced to the West in the eighteenth century, but little interest was taken in it; only scientists recognized its high food value. During the Second World War, when meat was in short supply, the U.S. government ③enc------- 【to suggest that someone does something】 the American people to eat soybean products. However, they never became very popular and, after the war, interest in them dropped off as the supply of meat became plentiful again.
□In recent years, people in the West have become increasingly aware of the dangers of eating too much animal fat, and as a result, they have turned more and more to soybean products. This is mainly because the soybean ④pro------- 【to give something to someone or make it available to them】 almost the same food value as meat, and in addition is a lot more healthful. Much of the margarine, salad oil, and cooking oil in daily use is now produced from soybean oil. Tôfu, a representative soybean product and originally one of the main foods in the diet of Chinese priests, is considered to be one of the healthiest foods available to man.

1990-(6)
□The first time I met him, everybody seemed to think that he was crazy and very dangerous. However, I was ①fas------- 【to attract and interest you very much】 with him and gradually a new friendship was born between us. It all began on the day I visited a yacht in Newport Harbor.
□A friend of mine, Richard, owned the yacht. He and his wife had two female relatives staying with them during the summer. I wanted to drop by and say hello as Richard and I always had a good time fishing together, and I was interested in meeting the two women.
□As I approached the yacht, there was no sign of life and I ②gue------- 【to give an answer or an opinion about something without definite knowledge about it】 that everyone had gone ashore. The yacht, however, was not completely empty. I ③not------- 【to become aware of someone or something】 a little creature sitting on the deck, looking at me with suspicion and fear.
□I then ④rea------- 【to know or understand a particular fact or situation】 that something terrible had happened on the yacht before I arrived. The deck was covered with broken objects including a little house in which the creature seemed to have been kept.
□Suddenly it jumped through the air to a long, loose rope, and as it came near me, I could see that it was a monkey. He looked down at me as he swung back and forth, performing all kinds of acrobatics and gymnastics. It was really interesting to watch what he did on the swinging rope; I myself had ⑤pra------- 【to do something repeatedly to improve your skill】 gymnastics in school, so every least thing the monkey did in his performance had a very special appeal to me. I started talking to him in a gentle voice and told him of my great interest in his tricks, and asked him to show me some more.
□Like a circus star, he walked with ⑥per------- 【as good as it could possibly be】 balance on the wire between the two masts, and then took a long jump toward me. Without hesitation, I extended my hand to help him and he sat down beside me, watching every movement of my lips while I told him what a truly great artist he was. He moved onto my lap as if we had been friends for a very long time.
□Just then I heard noises behind us. Turning around, I saw a small boat coming toward us with Richard's wife and a policeman in the front. He was carrying a rifle and behind him sat two women nervously pointing at the yacht. As their boat came near the yacht, they began ⑦sho------- 【to say something loudly】at me, but I only half understood what they were saying. Once they were on board, the monkey became very excited and I soon understood what had happened on the yacht.
□Richard had received the monkey as a present, and they immediately became inseparable friends. Two days before, Richard had to go out of town on business and left the monkey in his wife's care. Separated from Richard, the monkey felt so lonely that he started breaking things, and when the women tried to stop him he attacked them. They fled in the small boat to get help from the police.
□After a heated discussion, I ⑧per------- 【to try to make someone do something by giving them good reasons for doing it】 the policeman not to shoot the monkey. I promised to take care of him until Richard returned; he could decide what should be done with his ‘crazy pet.’
□We left together in my boat while the three women and the policeman stayed behind on the yacht. The monkey gradually calmed down because there were no people around to upset him. My new friend sat quietly in front of me as we ⑨app------- 【to come near to someone or something】 the shore.

解答)①fascinated ②guessed ③noticed ④realized ⑤practiced ⑥perfect ⑦shouting ⑧persuaded ⑨approached

1990追試-(5)
□Butterflies are insects as familiar to us as dragonflies. Many of us remember chasing them in the countryside or seeing them pinned neatly in boxes in museums. There are many people who collect butterflies because they are ①fas------- 【to attract and interest you very much】 by their beauty and variety. Butterfly shapes have also been used for patterns on kimono for a long time. Nowadays butterflies are usually considered to be objects of beauty.
□In the early stages of Japanese history, however, butterflies were not as ②pop------- 【enjoyed or liked by a lot of people】 as they are today. For example, in the eighth-century Man'yôshû, one of the oldest collections of Japanese poetry, the word‘butterfly’is mentioned only twice. On the other hand, insect names such as ‘cricket’ appear more frequently. This may be due to the ancient Japanese ③att------- 【the opinions and feelings that you have about something, especially when this shows in the way you behave】toward butterflies. In those days butterflies were feared and respected because they were thought to be the souls of people who had just died. Later their fearful image grew as Buddhist priests taught people of death and life after death. As a result, the butterfly as a ④sym------- 【a picture or shape used to express something】 of the human soul came to be associated with death in the minds of many people. Butterflies were, therefore, not just delicate, beautiful creatures.
□The image of butterflies gradually changed along with our ancestors' views of life and nature. As time went on, butterflies began to draw the attention of artists and craftsmen, and the ancient Japanese fear of them was ⑤rep------- 【to be used instead of something】 by feelings of admiration as their beauty was more deeply appreciated. Butterflies are a good example of how people's attitudes toward familiar things around us can change over time.

解答)①fascinated ②popular ③attitude ④symbol ⑤replaced

1991センター試験(5)
□When is a person old? There are many individuals who still seem ‘young’ at seventy or more, while others appear ‘old’ in their fifties. From another point of view, sumô wrestlers, for instance, are ‘old’ in their thirties, whereas artists' best years may come in their sixties or even later. But in general, people are old when society considers them to be old, that is, when they ①ret------- 【to stop working because of old age】 from work at around the age of sixty or sixty-five.
□Nowadays, however, the demand for new work skills is making more and more individuals old before their time. Although older workers tend to be dependable, and have much to offer from their many years of experience, they are put at a disadvantage by rapid developments in technology. Older people usually find it more difficult to ②acq------- 【to learn something】 the new skills required by technological changes, and they do not enjoy the same educational opportunities as young workers.
□When they finally leave work and retire, people face further problems. The majority receive little or no assistance in adjusting to their new situation in the community. Moreover, since society at present appears to have no clear picture of what place its older members should occupy, it is unable to offer them enough opportunities to have satisfying social roles after they retire.
□In the past, the old used to be looked upon as ③exp------- 【someone who has a particular skill or who knows a lot about something】 in solving various problems of life. Today, however, they are no longer ④reg------- 【to think about someone or something in a particular way】 as such and are seldom expected to play significant roles in social, economic and community affairs. With the number of older people in the ⑤population【the number of people living in a particular area】 rapidly increasing, we need greatly to increase and improve the opportunities provided for them so that they can ⑥par------- 【to take part in something】 in society with dignity and respect.

解答)①retire ②acquire ③experts ④regarded ⑤population ⑥participate

1991-(6)
□It began when I was a 16-year-old high school student. I was reading a popular youth magazine when I ①not------- 【to become aware of someone or something】 a list of addresses of young people from all over the world who were seeking pen pals in Japan. I had often seen boys and girls in my class receiving fat airmail ②env------- 【a thin paper container used for sending letters】 from overseas. Having a pen pal was the fashion of the day. Why shouldn't I get one, too? So I picked out the address of one “Margaret K.” in Boston and, remembering that a girl from my class had once told me young ladies like to read letters on pink paper, I went out to buy some.
□“Dear Pen Pal,” I began, but then stopped. I was very ③ner------- 【worried and anxious about something that might happen】 and really didn't know how to continue or what to say. After much effort I finished the letter, though it didn't even fill one page. The reply from faraway America came sooner than I had expected. “I was surprised to receive your letter,” Margaret wrote. “I don't know how my address got into a magazine in Japan, because I have never asked for a pen pal, but it's so nice hearing from someone in such a fascinating country, and I look forward to corresponding with you.”I don't know how many times I read that letter.
□When writing to Margaret, I took care not to say anything that might upset her. While English came naturally to Margaret, for me it was a foreign language, so I wrote only about everyday matters. But somewhere in my heart there was a sense of romance which I dared not ④exp------- 【to show what you are feeling or thinking using words or actions】. For her part, though Margaret wrote long letters, she revealed little about herself.
□Big envelopes ⑤con------- 【to have something inside】 books, magazines, and other small gifts began to arrive. I had no doubt that Margaret was a rich American girl, and that she was as beautiful as her attractive gifts. I felt that our pen friendship was a great success. However, there was one thing I couldn't get out of my mind. I knew it would be impolite to ask a girl her age, but thought it would be all right to ask her to send a picture. So I wrote the request and at last came the reply. Margaret said simply that she had no suitable pictures of herself at that time, but that she would send me one someday. She added that “the average American girl”was much nicer-looking than she was.
□Years went by. Our letters became less frequent but we never lost touch. Meanwhile, I graduated from college, got a job, married and had children. I still hoped that I might be able to meet Margaret someday and that my family might also meet her.
□Then, one day I received a large airmail envelope addressed in unfamiliar handwriting. It contained a few magazines and a note from a lady named Alice. “I'm very sorry to ⑥inf------- 【to tell someone about something】 you,” the note said, “that Margaret died in an accident last month while she was driving home from church. We had been close friends for the past sixty years — ever since we were in high school together. Margaret often mentioned how happy she was to hear from you. Though she lived alone, she had many friends, and always tried to help others, both far and near.” There was also a photograph enclosed. Margaret had asked her friend to send it only in the case of her death. The face in the picture was one of great beauty and kindness. It was a face I would have loved even when I was still young and she was already quite old.

解答)①noticed ②envelopes ③nervous ④express ⑤containing ⑥inform

①~④の単語の定義を(A)~(D)から選んでください。

  The past thirty to forty years have seen a huge increase in the number of children who suffer from allergies, and scientists are still looking for the explanation. Some have ①blamed increased air pollution, but it has also been found that allergies are common not only among children in the city but also among children in the countryside, where pollution is typically much lower.
 A currently popular explanation for the rise in allergies is the so-called “hygiene hypothesis.” The basic idea is that young children brought up in an environment which is too clean are more at risk of developing allergies. Nowadays, people bathe and wash their clothes more frequently than in the past, and thanks to vacuum cleaners homes are less dusty, too. One result of all these changes is that in their early lives children are exposed to fewer allergens — substances that can cause allergies — and this means that their bodies cannot build up natural immunity to them. Simply put, exposure to allergy-causing substances is necessary for natural protection against them to develop.
 The trend towards smaller families also means that young children ②encounter fewer allergens in the home. In fact, it is known that children who have older brothers and sisters are more resistant to allergies. The same is true of children who ③share their home with a pet. Such children are much less likely to develop the very common allergy to cat or dog hair, for example.
 Scientists agree that being exposed to a wider range of allergens early in life helps children to develop greater immunity. There is, however, also some data ④suggesting that genetics, family income, and even the parents' level of education may play a part in how likely a child is to suffer from allergies. Thus, although the hygiene hypothesis is an important area for research, we cannot yet be sure that too much attention to cleanliness is the only explanation for the enormous rise in the number of allergy victims.

(A)to experience something unpleasant
(B)to think or say that someone or something is responsible for something bad
(C)to say that something is likely to be the case
(D)to use or to have something as someone else

解答)①B②A③D④C

★★★★★ 共通テスト準備の定番に
たぶん、このシリーズは受験書では弱小のかんき出版が社運をかけて仕掛けている。もちろん、受験生は人生をかけて準備をすすめているので、会社の事情なんて全く関係ない。しかし、社運をかけずに旧態依然としてタイトルだけを「改訂」しているような単語集・問題集が所せましと平積みされているなかで、この本はカリスマオヤジ講師の説教抜きで英英辞典の権威LDCEそしてOALDを参照して新作も提供してくれている。センター過去問もある。読みたいなら、ここで読めばいい。ありがたい日本語の説教よりも、まともな英語の文を一文でも正しく理解して読み続けるのが、読解の基礎力をつくるのだから。親は子供の教師になるのは難しい。ということで、昨年度は進学校で底辺を走り続けながらセンター試験8割弱であった娘が、今年は芸大美大受験の2次対策を重視して直前までほぼノー勉だったのを、Z会の予想問題集とこれだけで、映像もなにも講義をうけずに何とか共通テストで8割弱をキープできた。やり方はいろいろとあるはずだが、家の減価償却しきってるコピー機で見開き一頁を印刷し、左側の問題だけを1日何枚か決めて解いてもらった。知らない単語があってはならないレベルにおさえてあるので、知らない単語を見つけたら線を引いてあとからチェックできるようにした。この方法で、日本語を介さずに英英読解できるようにした。少しずつイメージをつないで読んでいる気になった、という。ただ、本番で読み切るところまではいかなかった。途中にある、記入式のまとめ問題をとばしたからだろう。

1995-本試(5)
□1995-5
 We survive【to continue to live】 by controlling our environment, and control is made possible by information. If we lack this, we feel insecure and come to feel that any knowledge is better than none. In an experiment, white rats repeatedly had to choose path A or path B. They always had a 50% chance of finding food in a box at the end of each path. But on path B, just before the box, there was a signal indicating【to show that something exists】 whether or not food was present. After some days of training, all the rats developed a preference for path B, the side where they obtained information.
 Humans show the same sort of preference for knowledge about an outcome which is uncertain but unavoidable. Our anxiety about the future can be so great that bad news is preferable to an absence of information. Regardless of the nature of the news, and in spite of the fact that we get no advantage from it, we would prefer【to like someone or something more than someone or something else】 to know and thus reduce our insecurity. There can hardly be a more inaccurate saying than “No news is good news.”
 And yet people do not always demand【to ask for something 】 a state of complete certainty. Indeed much of our success as human beings is based on our ability to cope with environmental changes and our tendency to seek out new and challenging experiences. The popularity of pastimes such as mountaineering and motor racing is evidence of man's need for some uncertainty and risk. Nevertheless, when these reach too high a level, we once more desire to have information about the future and a feeling of control over it.

問1 The experiment showed that after a time the rats
① had no preferences to which path they would follow
② never failed to choose the side which led to food
③ rejected the path which did not bring them to food
④ selected the side on which there was a sign

問2 “No news is good news” does not represent reality because
① having no news gives us more security than having news
② lack of news makes us uncomfortable about the future
③ news, regardless of its nature, always makes us insecure
④ when we have no news, something bad has usually happened

問3 If we do not have enough information about the future,
① we are unable to take risks in new situations
② we become anxious and try to satisfy our need for certainty
③ we find it impossible to survive in new surroundings
④ we gain a greater sense of control over what will happen to us

解答)1④ 2② 3②

早速今週やらせてみたんですが、いやー反応が良かったですよ!
最初は普通に実施するのではまずいかなと思っていたんです。
生徒からしてみたら「急にどうしてこれを?」となるでしょうから。
しかし、意図を説明する文面を作る暇がなくて、結局、いただいたサンプルをそのままコピーしてやらせてみたのでした。
まだ全員に聞きまわれてはいませんが、
A高3年のある女子は、
「これ楽しい!またやりたい」と笑顔で答えていましたし、
現在、センター過去問で8割ぐらい取るB高3年の男子も同じことを言ってました。
お前ももっとやってみたいと思うか?と聞くと「はい、やってみたいです!」と。
いやーなんとも制作者冥利に尽きる言葉ですよね。(注:私が作ったわけではありませんが…)
私もいくつか問題を作るのでわかるのですが、もし「またやりたい」なんて生徒から言われたら、私だったらうれしくて涙が出ますよ。
正直普通の高校生にこれほど受け入れられるとは思いませんでした…(失礼)

1993-本試(5)
□In many parts of the world, the influence【the power to have an effect on someone or something】 of television is a matter of increasing concern.For years, critics of television have concentrated on the issue of the program content —particularly violence — as it affects viewers. The problem seems especially serious with regard to younger children. There is evidence【the facts or objects which cause you to believe that something exists or is true】 that TV does in fact lead people to accept more violence in everyday life. How could this not happen when it presents violent acts, often with guns and knives, as normal and common occurrences?
□In the last few years criticism of television has moved to a new stage by shifting the focus from the subject matter to the experience of the medium itself. The problem now with TV is not just what is seen but how it is seen. The way children watch it causes them to be passive, and some evidence suggests that such viewing might even affect the development of the brain in small children.
□However, the worst aspect of television is the way it can interfere with family life. The “box” has too often become a substitute parent, taking over most of the work of introducing social and moral values to the child and developing them in him. Parents allow this to happen by using television like a drug for the purpose of keeping children quiet. Eventually the child comes to depend on the box and it becomes a necessary, lifelong habit【something that you do often or regularly, often without thinking about it】.
□While many children go through the “television experience” and survive, many others are deeply affected by it. Much of the discussion of TV during the next few years will center on how to reduce the dangers which it presents, particularly to younger people. Already there are movements to try to ban TV advertising which is directed at children under a certain age. Perhaps this is just the beginning. In the end, some people may even go to the extreme of demanding the removal of such a powerful medium from the lives of young people. This might not be a practical solution【a way of dealing with a problem or difficult situation】, but we should not ignore the dangers of television.

問1 Television has long been criticized mainly because
① it causes younger children to waste time in front of it
② it encourages people, through advertisements, to want guns and knives
③ it makes people less willing to put up with violence
④ it shows violence, which influences, above all, younger people

問2 Recent criticism against TV has focused on
① the active way of living that it promotes
② the influence of the content of programs on children's brains
③ the medium itself in relation to the development of children
④ the subject matter it shows to children

問3 The presence of TV may weaken the family by
① encouraging children to rely on their parents
② giving children a greater sense of moral values
③ providing more time for the family to share together
④ taking over an essential part of parents' work

問4 The author states that certain people in society might finally attempt
① to ban TV advertising aimed at young people
② to have children survive the “television experience”
③ to prohibit children from watching TV
④ to recognize the educational merits of the medium

解答)1④ 2③ 3④ 4③

□世界の多くの地域で、テレビの影響力【誰かや何かに影響を与える力】がますます懸念されている。長年にわたり、テレビの批評者は、視聴者に影響を与える番組内容(特に暴力)の問題に集中してきた。この問題は、特に幼い子どもたちに関して深刻なようである。テレビが、日常生活の中でより多くの暴力を受け入れるように人々を導くという証拠【何かが存在する、あるいは真実であると信じさせる事実や物】があるのだ。テレビが、しばしば銃やナイフを使った暴力的な行為を、普通のこと、よくあることとして紹介しているのに、どうしてそうならないわけがあるだろうか。
□ここ数年、テレビ批判は、主題からメディアそのものの体験へと焦点を移し、新たな段階へと進んでいる。テレビの問題は、何を見るかだけではなく、どのように見るかである。子どもたちが受動的になり、脳の発達に影響を与える可能性も指摘されている。
□しかし、テレビの最も悪い面は、家庭生活の妨げになることである。「箱」が親の代わりとなり、社会的・道徳的価値を子供に紹介し、子供の中でそれらを発展させるという仕事のほとんどを代行してしまうことがあまりにも多い。親は、子供を黙らせる目的でテレビを麻薬のように使うことで、これを許している。やがて子どもはその箱に依存するようになり、それが必要な、生涯の習慣【頻繁に、あるいは日常的に、しばしば考えずに行うこと】になる。
□多くの子どもたちが「テレビ体験」を経て生きる一方で、テレビから深い影響を受けてる子どもたちもいる。今後数年間、テレビに関する議論の多くは、テレビがもたらす危険性、特に若年層への危険性をいかに軽減するかに集中することになるだろう。すでに、ある年齢以下の子供たちに向けられたテレビ広告を禁止しようとする動きがある。これはまだ始まりに過ぎないかもしれない。最終的には、このような強力なメディアを若者の生活から排除することを要求する極端な人も出てくるかもしれない。これは現実的な解決策【問題や困難な状況に対処する方法】ではないかもしれないが、私たちはテレビの危険性を無視してはならない。

問1 テレビが長い間批判されてきたのは、主に次のような理由によるものである。
①幼い子どもたちがテレビの前で時間を無駄にする原因となる
②広告を通じて、銃やナイフを欲しがるように仕向ける。
③暴力を容認したがらないようにさせる。
④暴力が描かれているため、特に若い人に影響を与える。

問2 最近のテレビに対する批判は、次のような点に焦点が当たっている。
①テレビが促進する積極的な生き方
②番組内容が子どもの脳に与える影響
③メディアそのものが子どもの発達に与える影響
④子どもに見せる題材

問3 テレビの存在は、次のような点で家庭を弱体化させる可能性がある。
①親に依存するよう子どもを促す
②子どもに道徳的な価値観を与える
③家族で共有する時間が増える。
④親の仕事の重要な部分を代行する。

問4 著者は、最終的に社会のある種の人々が次のことを試みるかもしれないと述べている。
①若者向けのテレビ広告を禁止すること
②子どもたちに「テレビ体験」を生き抜かせること
③子どものテレビ視聴を禁止する
④テレビという媒体の教育面での利点を認識しようとする

1991センター試験(5)
□When is a person old? There are many individuals who still seem ‘young’ at seventy or more, while others appear ‘old’ in their fifties. From another point of view, sumô wrestlers, for instance, are ‘old’ in their thirties, whereas artists' best years may come in their sixties or even later. But in general, people are old when society considers them to be old, that is, when they retire【引退する】 from work at around the age of sixty or sixty-five.
□Nowadays, however, the demand for new work skills is making more and more individuals old before their time. Although older workers tend to be dependable, and have much to offer from their many years of experience, they are put at a disadvantage by rapid developments in technology. Older people usually find it more difficult to acquire【習得する】 the new skills required by technological changes, and they do not enjoy the same educational opportunities as young workers.
□When they finally leave work and retire, people face further problems. The majority receive little or no assistance in adjusting to their new situation in the community. Moreover, since society at present appears to have no clear picture of what place its older members should occupy, it is unable to offer them enough opportunities to have satisfying social roles after they retire.
□In the past, the old used to be looked upon as experts【専門家】 in solving various problems of life. Today, however, they are no longer regarded【みなされる】 as such and are seldom expected to play significant roles in social, economic and community affairs. With the number of older people in the population【人口】 rapidly increasing, we need greatly to increase and improve the opportunities provided for them so that they can participate【参加する】 in society with dignity【尊厳】 and respect.

問1 People are normally regarded as old when .
① they are in their fifties
② they are judged to be old by society
③ they consider themselves too old to work
④ they reach the age of seventy

問2 Changes in technology can .
① enable【可能にする】 older workers to make better use of their experience
② give older people opportunities for new jobs
③ make it easier for older workers to acquire new skills
④ make older people's knowledge and skills out of date

問3 After finally retiring, most people .
① are given new social roles by society
② do not need assistance in making the necessary adjustments
③ have few disadvantages in their new situation
④ have to work out their social roles largely for themselves

問4 According to the fourth paragraph, the position of old people in society today largely depends【よる】 on .
① how many problems they are able to solve
② the age at which they finally retire from their work
③ the rapid increase【増加】 in the number of retired people in the community
④ what opportunities they are given by society

□When is a person old? There are many individuals who still seem ‘young’ at seventy or more, while others appear ‘old’ in their fifties. From another point of view, sumô wrestlers, for instance, are ‘old’ in their thirties, whereas artists' best years may come in their sixties or even later. But in general, people are old when society considers them to be old, that is, when they retire from work at around the age of sixty or sixty-five.
□Nowadays, however, the demand for new work skills is making more and more individuals old before their time. Although older workers tend to be dependable, and have much to offer from their many years of experience, they are put at a disadvantage by rapid developments in technology. Older people usually find it more difficult to acquire the new skills required by technological changes, and they do not enjoy the same educational opportunities as young workers.
□When they finally leave work and retire, people face further problems. The majority receive little or no assistance in adjusting to their new situation in the community. Moreover, since society at present appears to have no clear picture of what place its older members should occupy, it is unable to offer them enough opportunities to have satisfying social roles after they retire.
□In the past, the old used to be looked upon as experts in solving various problems of life. Today, however, they are no longer regarded as such and are seldom expected to play significant roles in social, economic and community affairs. With the number of older people in the population rapidly increasing, we need greatly to increase and improve the opportunities provided for them so that they can participate in society with dignity and respect.

1990追試-(5)
□Butterflies are insects as familiar to us as dragonflies. Many of us remember chasing them in the countryside or seeing them pinned neatly in boxes in museums. There are many people who collect butterflies because they are fascinated 【魅了された】 by their beauty and variety. Butterfly shapes have also been used for patterns on kimono for a long time. Nowadays butterflies are usually considered to be objects of beauty.
□In the early stages of Japanese history, however, butterflies were not as popular【人気がある】 as they are today. For example, in the eighth-century Man'yôshû, one of the oldest collections of Japanese poetry, the word‘butterfly’is mentioned only twice. On the other hand, insect names such as ‘cricket’ appear more frequently. This may be due to the ancient【古代の】 Japanese attitude【態度】toward butterflies. In those days butterflies were feared and respected because they were thought to be the souls of people who had just died. Later their fearful image grew as Buddhist priests taught people of death and life after death. As a result, the butterfly as a symbol【象徴】 of the human soul came to be associated【結びつけられた】 with death in the minds of many people. Butterflies were, therefore, not just delicate, beautiful creatures.
□The image of butterflies gradually changed along with our ancestors' views of life and nature. As time went on, butterflies began to draw the attention of artists and craftsmen, and the ancient Japanese fear of them was replaced 【取って代わられた】 by feelings of admiration as their beauty was more deeply appreciated. Butterflies are a good example of how people's attitudes toward familiar【馴染みの】 things around us can change over time.

問1 What was the attitude of people to butterflies in the days of the Man'yôshû?
① They considered butterflies suitable subjects for poetry.
② They regarded【みなす】 butterflies as the image of Buddha.
③ They respected and feared butterflies.
④ They were indifferent to butterflies.

問2 What do many Japanese think of butterflies today?
① They are a symbol of spring.
② They are fearful and mysterious【謎の】 .
③ They are objects of beauty.
④ They are the souls of ancient【古代の】 people.

問3 Who helped create and spread the modern image of butterflies?
① Artists and craftsmen.
② Buddhist priests.
③ Butterfly collectors.
④ Poets in the days of the Man'yôshû.

問4 What does the writer say about butterflies in this passage?
① Butterflies have always fascinated insect collectors and craftsmen.
② Butterflies should be feared and respected.
③ People's images of butterflies have changed over time.
④ The beauty of butterflies has been appreciated throughout history.

1990-(6)
□The first time I met him, everybody seemed to think that he was crazy and very dangerous. However, I was fascinated【魅了された】 with him and gradually a new friendship was born between us. It all began on the day I visited a yacht in Newport Harbor.
□A friend of mine, Richard, owned the yacht. He and his wife had two female relatives staying with them during the summer. I wanted to drop by and say hello as Richard and I always had a good time fishing together, and I was interested in meeting the two women.
□As I approached the yacht, there was no sign of life and I guessed 【推測する】 that everyone had gone ashore. The yacht, however, was not completely empty. I noticed 【気づく】 a little creature sitting on the deck, looking at me with suspicion and fear.
□I then realized 【理解する】 that something terrible had happened on the yacht before I arrived. The deck was covered with broken objects including a little house in which the creature seemed to have been kept.
□Suddenly it jumped through the air to a long, loose rope, and as it came near me, I could see that it was a monkey. He looked down at me as he swung back and forth, performing all kinds of acrobatics and gymnastics. It was really interesting to watch what he did on the swinging rope; I myself had practiced【練習する】 gymnastics in school, so every least thing the monkey did in his performance had a very special appeal to me. I started talking to him in a gentle voice and told him of my great interest in his tricks, and asked him to show me some more.
□Like a circus star, he walked with perfect【完璧な】 balance on the wire between the two masts, and then took a long jump toward me. Without hesitation, I extended my hand to help him and he sat down beside me, watching every movement of my lips while I told him what a truly great artist he was. He moved onto my lap as if we had been friends for a very long time.
□Just then I heard noises behind us. Turning around, I saw a small boat coming toward us with Richard's wife and a policeman in the front. He was carrying a rifle and behind him sat two women nervously pointing at the yacht. As their boat came near the yacht, they began shouting at me, but I only half understood what they were saying. Once they were on board, the monkey became very excited and I soon understood what had happened on the yacht.
□Richard had received the monkey as a present, and they immediately became inseparable friends. Two days before, Richard had to go out of town on business and left the monkey in his wife's care. Separated from Richard, the monkey felt so lonely that he started breaking things, and when the women tried to stop him he attacked them. They fled in the small boat to get help from the police.
□After a heated discussion, I persuaded【説得する】 the policeman not to shoot the monkey. I promised to take care of him until Richard returned; he could decide what should be done with his ‘crazy pet.’
□We left together in my boat while the three women and the policeman stayed behind on the yacht. The monkey gradually calmed down because there were no people around to upset him. My new friend sat quietly in front of me as we approached【近づく】 the shore.
