2011 年 度 入 学 試 験 問 題 英 語 Ⅰ 次 の 文 章 を 読 み 下 記 の 問 いに 答 えなさい Have you ever seen a nest* like this? How can you find out* what kind of bird made it? One way is to watch the nest closely*. Perhaps* a bird will land on* it. Another way is to find out what the nest is made of. Where did the bird find the things* to build this nest? If you can find the answers to (1)these questions, you will know more about the nest and the bird that made 1it. Do you want to know more about things that you see around you? Do you try to find out more about these things? If so, you are acting* like a scientist*. A scientist is always asking questions and looking for answers. In order to* find out what made the nest in the picture above, you could observe* it. When you observe something, you study 2it carefully. If you observe the nest, you will learn that it was made of a red-winged blackbird*. Nikolas Tinbergen* is a scientist ( A ) studies animals. He has learned about a lot of animals by observing them. One of the animals that he has studied is the digger wasp*. This wasp lives in a tunnel* in the sand. Tinbergen observed a digger wasp for many days. He learned that 3it makes its tunnel. It has eggs in the tunnel. The digger wasp spends the day hunting for bees to give food to its young. (2)Tinbergen found out that it may be easy for the digger wasp to find its tunnel. He wanted to find out how this happened. Then, he had an idea. Perhaps the wasp used things on the sand as landmarks* to find the tunnel.

Ⅱ 次 の 文 章 を 読 み 下 記 1~5の 内 容 が 本 文 と 一 致 する 場 合 には T を また 本 文 の 内 容 と 一 致 しない 場 合 は F を 解 答 欄 に 書 きなさい John and Maria were going home after their visit to the Indians*. They stopped for a weekend in Manaus* on the way. They were talking to a taxi driver about the Indians. The taxi driver was not happy. Why are these Indians important? he asked, There s a very small number of them. I think there are only about 350,000 Indians in Brazil. But they get money, and they live in parks in the forest*. They don t work. I have to work hard-my family, too. I ll tell you about my family. When I was a small child, my family lived near Sao Paulo*. It was a big city in those days. Not as big as today, but very big. We weren t rich. My father had no work, no money, and no house. We had nothing. Then Brazil had a new plan. People made big roads into the forest. They wanted to move the poor people from the cities into the forest. They said, You can go into the forest and start farms there. The soil* of the forest is rich, and it s free. You can have a square kilometer of* ground next to a road. You don t have to pay for the ground next to a road. You don t have to pay for the ground, and you can have money for six months. We ll give you seeds* and you can make coffee or fruits. You can sell these in the cities. It costs the country $65,000 for each family. My family and many other people went into the forest. We worked night and day. We cut down* the forest trees and made small farms. We built small houses of wood. We made coffee and sugar and fruit. It was wonderful. My father and mother were happy. We had work, we had a house. We felt rich. The first year, everything was fine. But there was a problem-a big problem. The soil was not rich, and there was not much of it. The rain washed it away. The third year we were hungry. We couldn t sell anything. The fourth year was the worst. The plants died and we had no food. So we moved to a new place in the forest, and we started again. But it was the same story. We had no future. So we went back to the cities and looked for work there. My family came to Manaus. My father got a job in the port, and now I m a taxi driver. We re OK. I m sorry about the Indians, but we have to live, too. So what happened to the rain forest* next to the roads? asked Maria. It died, said the taxi driver. There s nothing there now. No farms, no forest
trees, and not many people.
