〔 5 〕 次の英文を読んで，問 1・問 2 に答えなさい。

Plucked from the Burning
The room seemed light already, yet the bed curtains were closed, and the nursemaid
had not got him up. Jacky lay puzzled for a moment, then put out his head from the23 four-poster. He saw streaks of fire on the ceiling.
In the lurid＊ glow he noticed that Molly and Anne, two of his sisters who slept in thesame great bed with him, were gone, and the other bed, where the nurse slept withPatty and baby Charles, was empty. Five-year-old Jacky ran to the open door. The floor
outside was ablaze. He ran back and climbed onto a chest of drawers near the windowand pulled at the latch.
Above him the thatched roof of the rectory＊ crackled and burned in the strong
northeast wind. Below, a crowd of neighbors were gathered in the yard and were trying
to 24 douse the flames. Jacky edged onto the windowsill as far as he dared. He saw aman point up, then call out that he would fetch a ladder.
Another cried, “There will not be time!” This tall, 25 burly neighbor leaned against
the wall while eager hands helped a lighter man to climb onto his shoulders. As theheat behind Jacky grew intense, the fellow stood upright, stretched his arms, and26 plucked the boy out of the window. At that moment the roof fell in, “but it fell
inward, or we would have all been crushed at once.”
They carried Jacky to the house where the family had taken refuge.＊ Apparently
Hetty, who was eleven, had been woken by a piece of burning thatch and had given thealarm. Their father, the rector＊ of Epworth, had run to the room where his wife slept
apart because she was ill and pregnant. She woke their eldest daughter, and theydashed through the flames to safety.
Then the rector rushed upstairs to the nursery. The maid seized baby Charles andordered the others to follow, but no one noticed that Jacky lay fast asleep through the7

27 uproar. When the rector realized the child was missing, he tried to get up thestairs again, but they were on fire and would not bear his weight. In agony of mind heknelt in the hall and 28 commended John Wesley’s soul to God.
But here was Jacky safe and sound, “a brand plucked out of the burning.” The
Reverend＊ Samuel Wesley, his house in ashes, his books and writings gone, cried out injoy: “Come, neighbors! Let us kneel down! Let us give thanks to God! He has given me
all eight children. Let the house 29 go. I am rich enough!”【From Wesley: The Preacher, by John Pollock, Kingsway, 1989】

〔 6 〕 次の英文を読んで，問 1・問 2 に答えなさい。

Help from the Other SideIN THE COURSE of my readings, the Other Side helped me answer many of the bigquestions I’d long 34 grappled with.
Why are we here? To learn. To give and receive love. To be the agents of positivechange in the world.
What happens when we die?

We35

shed our bodies but our consciousness

endures.
What is our true purpose on this earth? To grow in love - and to help others do thesame.
The Other Side has also helped me answer a question that still 36 confounds many
thinkers: Do we have free will to chart the course of our lives, or are our futures alreadymapped out? The Other Side has shown me a model of existence that is generous
enough to 37 encompass both free will - the ability to act at one’s own discretion＊ and predeterminism, which is the belief that all events and actions are decided inadvance. It is a beautifully simple model I call “free will vs. points of fate.”
Our existence is mapped out by a dazzling array of destination points that are in place
before we are born. These are the points of fate - a continuum of all the crucial events,
decisive moments, and significant people that constitute our time 38 here. Think ofthem as stars in the night sky, a collection of beacons＊ spread across a broad canvas.
The Other Side has shown me that we create the actions that move us from one pointof fate to the next. We are the ones who connect the dots. We make the decisions thatmove us from one point to another, and in the process, we shape and create the pictureof our lives.
Each one of us comes into this life with unique gifts and unique contributions tomake. Finding and honoring our true selves will always help us navigate our points of11
