■Ⅴ．ａ．以下の１～５の空欄を補うのにふさわしい語句を語群あ～おから選んで記号で答えなさい。
Greeks, Arabs, and South Americans normally stand quite close together
when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in
a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often 【 １ 】.
Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21
inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa there is even more space between
two people in conversation. This greater space gives an air of dignity
and respect.
Although North Americans have a relatively wide "comfort zone"
for talking, they 【 ２ 】 ---- not only with gestures but also with
touch. They 【 ３ 】 to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around
him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story;
they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child's head in affection; they
readily take someone's arm to 【 ４ 】 or direct him along an unfamiliar
route. To many people ---- especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries
---- such body contact is unwelcome, especially if carelessly done with
the left hand. Many Americans are left-handed; there is no awareness at
all here of all the significance of left or right. In all such matters,
however, if it disturbs you, a slight hesitation on your part will usually
be felt and heeded.
Southern Europeans and Latins, on the other hand, are inclined to view
Americans as cold fish because they 【 ５ 】.
あcommunicate a great deal with their hands いback away a few inches
うgesture and touch so little えhelp him across a street
おput a sympathetic hand on a person's shoulder
ｂ．以下の１～５の空欄を補うのにふさわしい英単語をそれぞれあ～えから選んで記号で答えなさい。
The speed of communication means that all people of the world have a
new responsibility. People in different countries must try harder to understand
each other. 【 １ 】 people with different religions must try to understand
each other's beliefs and values 【 ２ 】 they do not accept them. Sometimes
their cultures are quite different. What one group considers a normal part
of life is strange to another culture. 【 ３ 】, a normal part of one
culture might be bad or impolite to the other people. That kind of difference
is a possibility for misunderstanding. People must learn not to judge others,
but to accept them as they are. 【 ４ 】 understanding between cultures
can be better. Misunderstanding can be avoided.
Misunderstandings as a result of the increase in rapid or fast communication
can cause serious problems. 【 ５ 】, communicating between or across
cultures is important. Better cross-cultural communication is necessary
for peace in the world. As the world grows smaller, people must learn to
talk to each other better, not just faster.
１ あAn example is that いThe truth is that うThe problem is that
えWhat is surprising is that
２ あas いthough うeven if えunless
３ あIn spite of that いIn respect of that うIn some cases えIn conclusion
４ あNevertheless いThen うOn the other hand えOn the contrary
５ あTherefore いHowever うBesides えNevertheless
ｃ．以下の下線部★１～５の説明としてふさわしいものを、それぞれア～ウから選んで記号で答えなさい。
Someone's dog had recently had puppies and my kind wife had volunteered
to adopt one of them. So I came home one evening and there it was, sitting
on the living room floor with a slipper in its mouth and a wicked smile
on its face.
"Hello, pretty doggie," I said, trying to be friendly. The
thing looked at me like I was a stray cat and began to growl. It was probably
hungry, I thought. Slippers may be okay for starters, but this dog was
waiting for its main course. What kind of dog was it, anyway? It looked
uncomfortably like a wolf. I looked around for a weapon ★１ just in case. Then I noticed the chair. "That's funny," I thought. Chairs
usually have four legs, don't they? This one only had two. I know, because
I counted them twice. Now I know ★２ my wife has strange taste in furniture, but two-legged chairs are somewhat impractical, aren't they? ★３ A fearful thought entered my mind. I looked back at the dog and my fears were confirmed.
Sawdust on its nose. It eats slippers. It eats chair legs. People too?
That reminded me, where was my wife? I called her, but there was no answer.
★４ Another fearful thought entered my mind. What if she had been eaten by the dog? I'd have to make
my own dinner, do my own laundry.... I remembered reading about a dog that
had eaten its owner and still ★５ had room for dessert afterwards.
★１ just in case
ア for fear that it might be hungry イ in order to be safe if it should
attack me
ウ as a precaution if it turns out to be a wolf
★２ my wife has strange taste in furniture
ア my wife tastes furniture in the strange way
イ my wife feels strange when she eats furniture
ウ my wife has such a fondness for furniture as the author cannot understand
★３ A fearful thought
ア the dog eats chair legs イ the dog has sawdust on its nose
ウ two-legged chairs are somewhat impractical
★４ Another fearful thought
ア a dog that had eaten its owner イ the author called his wife, but
there was no answer
ウ the author's wife had been eaten by the dog
★５ had room for dessert
ア kept its own room empty イ was hungry and wanted to eat more
ウ wanted to have its own room outside
ｄ．以下の各英文あ～おを、文章として適切な順に並べかえ、記号で答えなさい。
あ An excellent example of difficult communication is in the doctor-patient
relationship, where most patients find it very difficult to get the right
words to describe their problems.
い Even fairly general terms, like "pain," are vague, and used
differently by different patients.
う It is incredibly easy to be accidentally misunderstood, or to speak
vaguely.
え Problems of communication affect us all in many aspects of day-to-day
living, and can cause serious trouble.
お The problem affects the doctor too, who often has difficulty explaining
the medical situation in words which the patient will understand.
ｅ．下線部★あ～えについて、以下の質問に対する答えを、本文からそれぞれ英単語２０語以内で抜き出しなさい。
Ann returned home for her sister's wedding. At the reception, she talked
to a lot of relatives and old school friends. She told no untruths and
had no intention of telling any, yet ★あshe gave different people very different accounts of her life as a
postgraduate. And she walked away from some conversations, feeling she had misrepresented
herself.
In some conversations, ★いAnn stressed how well she was doing: she liked the city she lived in, the research she was doing, the new friends
she had made. She expressed satisfaction with her life and herself and
painted a rosy picture of them. But in talking to other people, Ann painted
a different picture. ★うShe stressed the negative aspects of her life: the discomforts of living in cheap accommodations, the long hours of study,
and the lack of free time and money.
Both pictures were true. That is, they were both composites assembled
from pieces of truth. Yet both were untrue, in so far as they omitted the
pieces included in the other account, as well as innumerable pieces included
in neither. There is no way that Ann, or ★えanyone, could tell every aspect of the truth. When constructing a story for a specific occasion, we instinctively identify
a main point or goal and include the details that contribute to it. Although
she didn't consciously decide to do so, Ann painted a positive picture
of her life when she spoke to relatives and her parents' friends. She didn't
want them to worry about her or repeat to her parents anything that might
cause them concern. The negative view of her life was constructed for her
old school friends ---- women her age who were married and bored and slightly
envious of her life of independence and intellectual stimulation. She wanted,
instinctively, to prevent rather than provoke their envy.
There is not enough time to state all of the aspects of the truth, even
if we could keep them all in our minds ---- which we can't. Selecting words
to speak and information to give always involves choices among vast alternatives.
The details that are chosen present some aspects of the truth, inevitably
falsifying or omitting others. It is impossible to tell the whole truth.
★あ She said different accounts of her life as a postgraduate to different
people. Still they all were true. Why?
★い Why did she stress how well she was doing?
★う Why did she stress the negative aspects of her life?
★え Write down the reason nobody could tell every aspect of the truth.
ｆ．以下の英文を読んで、その内容と一致するものを１～１０から、３つ答えなさい。
In 1787, when representatives of the new United States gathered in Philadelphia
to draw up a Constitution that could serve as a permanent framework for
the American way of life, it apparently did not occur to them to consider
the matter of what the national language should be. Then, and for the next
two centuries, it was assumed that people would speak English. But in
the 1980s many Americans were becoming uncomfortable with the growing use
of Spanish, Vietnamese, and other immigrant languages in American society.
This led some of them to begin pressing for laws to make English the official
language.
According to the Census Bureau, 11 percent of people in America speak
a language other than English at home. In California alone, nearly one
fifth of the people are Hispanic. In Los Angeles, the proportion of Spanish
speakers is more than half. New York City has 1.5 million Hispanics and
there are a million more in the surrounding area. Altogether in America
there are 200 Spanish-language newspapers, 200 radio stations, and 300
television stations.
In many areas, English speakers are fearful of being overwhelmed. Some
even see it as a plot, among them was the former U.S. Senator S.I. Hayakawa,
who wrote in 1987 that he believed that 'there is a very real move to split
the U.S. into a bilingual and bicultural society.' Hayakawa helped to found
U.S. English, a pressure group designed to promote English as the lone
official language of the country. Soon the group had 350,000 members and
was receiving annual contributions of $7.5 million. By late 1988, it had
managed to have English made the official language of seventeen states.
It is easy to understand the strength of feeling among many Americans
on the matter. A California law requiring that bilingual education must
be provided at schools where more than twenty pupils speak a language other
than English sometimes led to chaos. At one Hollywood high school, on parents'
night every speech had to be translated from English into Korean, Spanish,
and Armenian. As of December 1986, California was employing 3,364 state
workers proficient in Spanish in order to help non-English speakers in
matters concerning courts, social services, and the like. All of this,
critics maintain, cossets non-English speakers and provides them with little
motivation to move into the American mainstream. U.S. English and other
such groups maintain that linguistic divisions have caused unrest in several
countries, such as Canada and Belgium --- though they generally fail to
note that the countries where strife and violence have been most serious
are the ones where minority languages have been most severely suppressed.
U.S. English insists that a national English-language law would apply
only to government business, and that in unofficial, private, or religious
contexts people could use any language they liked. Yet it was U.S. English
that tried to take an American phone company to court for inserting Spanish
advertisements in the Los Angeles Yellow Pages. That would hardly seem
to be government business. And many Hispanics feel that there would be
further restrictions on their civil liberties ---- such as the short-lived
1985 attempt by Dade County in Florida to require that marriage ceremonies
be conducted only in English.
１ Since the establishment, the United States has always made sure that
English was its official language.
２ Immigrants tend to change their language to the official one when they
become a citizen of the country.
３ In Los Angels, the number of Spanish speakers is larger than that of
English speakers.
４ With the help of Hayakawa, the English language now has become the
official language all the states in the country.
５ According to the law in California, schools have to teach students
at least two languages, if they had many non-English students.
６ Some people believe that the protection of minority languages by law
discourages people from using English in the American society.
７ U.S English claims that the feeling against minority languages becomes
worst during social unrest.
８ It is true that in Canada and Belgium there are some troubles derived
from minority languages.
９ U.S. English is only concerned about the official use of English.
10 People using minority languages are now worrying that they cannot speak
their own language anywhere, anymore.

以下の１～５の空欄を補うのにふさわしい英単語をそれぞれあ～えから選んで記号で答えなさい。
Do household pets really have a mental and emotional life? Their owners
think so, but until recently, animal-behavior experts would have gone mad
on hearing such a question. The worst sin in their vocabulary was anthropomorphism,
projecting human characteristics onto animals. A dog or a cat might behave
as if it were angry, lonely, sad, happy or confused, but that was only
in the 【 １ 】 of the observer. What was going on, they insisted, was
that the dog or cat had been 【 ２ 】, through a perhaps unintentional
series of punishments and rewards, to behave in a certain way. Such behaviour
was a mechanical result of the training.
But that has become a minority viewpoint. Explains Alan Beck, an animal
ecologist at Purdue University: "There are undoubtedly still scientists
out there who question the 【 ３ 】 of dogs and cats because they don't
have the hard data. They feel it's unscientific to 【 ４ 】 phenomena
we can't prove." But the majority of Beck's colleagues, he says, now
accept the notion that animals have, for lack of a better phrase, an emotional
and intellectual life. "I am absolutely convinced, for example, that
my dog feels 【 ５ 】 when he stains the rug," says Beck. "Any
observer could see it. He behaves the same way I would have if my mother
had caught me doing it. If it looks the same as human behavior in the
same situation, why shouldn't you be able to use words we use for human
emotions to describe animal behavior?"

３ あmoral いlanguage うinstinct えintelligence
４ あinvestigate いacknowledge うrefer to えconclude
５ あguilty いartificial うsensible えoverwhelmed

あ He is then likely to find out certain things about the other person
quite easily.
い He will learn these things not so much from what the other man says
as from how he says it, for whenever we speak we cannot avoid giving our
listeners clues about our origins and the sort of person we are.
う It is quite possible that the first Englishman, probably subconsciously,
would like to get to know certain things about the second ---- for instance
what sort of job he does and what social status he has.
え What he can do is to engage him in conversation.
お Without this kind of information he will not be sure exactly how he
should behave towards him. He can, of course, make intelligent guesses
about his companion from the sort of clothes he is wearing, and other visual
clues, but he can hardly ask him direct questions about his social background,
at least not at this stage of the relationship.
