D 次の英文を読み、あとの問いに答えなさい。
It’s difficult to say when the use of candles really started. It’s possible that when people
were cooking meat over a fire, they found that fat from the meat burned brightly. There is*evidence that about 5,000 years ago people started to cook animal fat into a liquid, put theliquid into a dish with a small piece of cloth or grass in it, and lit the cloth or grass with
fire.
About 2,000 years ago, when the Romans were in control of Europe and North Africa,①people started to ( candles / use / make / we / like ) today. They would *pour liquid fat intoa small tube with a piece of grass in the middle. As the liquid fat cooled, they would shape
the candle with their hands. In Japan and China paper was used to form the candles.
About a thousand years ago, in the Middle Ages, candles became very popular inchurches and for other religious events. The best candles in those days were made from*beeswax, but they were still made in the same way ( ① ) in Rome. Beeswax candles
burned pure and cleanly without a smoky flame. They also *emitted a pleasant, sweet
smell. So, more and more people wanted to use candles not just in church, but also to ( ② )their homes. However, because beeswax candles were expensive, only rich people had
enough money to burn them in their homes. King Edward the Fourth of England had a*servant whose only job was to make candles. The family name Chandler comes from theword for candlemaker.
As candles became more popular, it was necessary to make many more of them. A new
method of candle making was developed about 500 years ago. Many strings were tied to along bar, and all of the strings were *dipped into a bucket of hot wax. After each dip, thewax became thicker around the strings, making a candle. These strings, the part of thecandle that people light, are called ②wicks. Candlemakers hung the candles outside foreight to ten days so that they would get hard.
About 200 years ago candlemakers started using other materials besides wax. They also
started to *weave the wicks so that candles would burn brighter and longer. The use of oil
made from whale fat led to a great reduction in the whale population. Candles made bymachines were also becoming popular. The wax was forced into a shaped tube, called amold, and cooled quickly.
Even though most candles today are made by machines, many people still wanthandmade candles. It is thought of as an art form in many countries. Today, candles*symbolize celebration or romance, *soothe the senses, add atmosphere to a ceremony, andserve as accents in home decorations creating a warm and lovely glow for all to enjoy.

次のエイミー(アメリカ人の女性)とジャン=ピエール(フランス人の男性)の会話文を読み、設問に答えなさい。

Amy：

So, Jean-Pierre, is this your first visit to the United States?

Jean-Pierre：

Yes, ( 1 ), and many things are a little confusing. For example, somefriends invited me to their home for dinner next week. I’m wondering what I
should take as a gift.

Amy：

Well, it would probably be fine to take some flowers ― maybe a small gift,
like something *typical from your country.

Jean-Pierre：

Yes. Well, in France, flowers are a good idea, too. Or a box of chocolates.
Should I take cut flowers or a plant?

Amy:Oh, here in the USA, either one is OK.

Jean-Pierre:

You know, in France, it’s ( 2 ) to arrive a little early. Is it the same here?

Amy：

Well, in the U.S. we don’t arrive early, but (ア)you should arrive not morethan 15 minutes late. If you’re going to be later than that, you really should
call so that they don’t think you’ve gotten lost or forgotten to come.

Jean-Pierre：

Oh, I wouldn’t want that!

Amy：

Of course not. So, in France, how do you greet your host or hostess when
you arrive at their house?

Jean-Pierre：Well, when you get there, it’s normal to kiss your hostess on both cheeks. If
you’re a man, you shake hands with the host. You don’t kiss him.

Amy：

OK, well, here we sometimes kiss our hostess on one cheek, not both.
Generally, we don’t kiss our host. (イ)It depends on (you / well / host / how /know / your ) and hostess. But, don’t be surprised if your hostess gives you a
big hug. Hugging is very common here.

Jean-Pierre:

Wow, I sure wouldn’t be expecting that! In France, hugging is considered to
be closer than kissing. Oh, and another thing. In France, you shakehands with all the other guests. If you don’t, it’s not polite. What about here?

Amy：

Well, here it’s usually OK just to say hello. Oh, it’s also important to lookpeople in the eyes when you talk to them. People may think you’re not friendly
if you don’t. And use their first names when you speak to them.

Jean-Pierre：

In France, people were formal, too, in the past ― uh, they didn’t use firstnames. Now, we often use first names, too... if someone is close enough to you
and you’ve met them before.

G 次の英文を読み、設問に答えよ。
The English language is full of words that come from other languages. It is *estimatedthat over one-quarter of the words in English have French origins. Even a word such as“shampoo” comes from Hindi. Yet, there are very

1

words of Japanese origin in English.

Only two, “kimono” and “tsunami,” (ア)come to mind. However, recently some words fromJapanese pop culture, such as “manga” and “anime” are starting to be used, although myspell checker still underlines “manga”.
The closest English translation for manga is “comics,” but the word “comics” does notreally2what manga is. American comics typically have action and adventure content

about superheroes such as Superman, Batman and Spiderman and are mostly created foryoung boys. The content in manga, however, is much broader and for many kinds of readers
including children and adults of both sexes. The range of topics is also very

3

with

fantasies, romance, superheroes, and humor, among many others.
Manga, like the animals and plants of the Galapagos Islands, has (イ)evolved into a
unique *medium which is quite unlike comics from outside of Japan. Manga’s specializedfeatures certainly show Japan’s social environment including the language, history, andreligion as well as features of social order, such as *hierarchy and sex roles.
Another one of manga’s unique features is its length. Most manga are the same thickness
as a small city’s telephone book. One manga often has 20 or 30 times as many pages as a
typical comic book. It is this (A)[] which shows something special about Japanesestorytelling.
Pick up any manga and *glance through the pages. One thing you will notice is that manyof the panels have no dialogue. You may also notice that some of these panels show close-ups
of facial expressions or wide landscape scenes. Sometimes, several panels may show amoment-by-moment passage of time. In this sense, the story moves much more slowly than
comics, which progress by the dialogue. Because the story moves slowly with more focus on
the details and the process than the *plot, much more paper is needed.
Osamu Tezuka is sometimes (ウ)given credit for developing this style. He wrote and drewfor a Japanese audience who liked this cinematic, slow-moving style. Related to this is theway movement is illustrated. In comics, the movement of objects, such as airplanes or bullets
is usually shown from beginning to end. However, in manga, Japanese artists often do notshow the ending so that readers can imagine what the motion was like, and *thus become
part of the story themselves.
Manga is becoming a mainstream *phenomenon outside of Japan. Although it isespecially popular in Korea and Taiwan, it is also (B)[ gather ] interest in North America andEurope. In the United States, manga sales have tripled recently.
Inside Japan, manga is sold in huge numbers. It is not uncommon for the most popularseries to sell over two million copies a year. *By comparison, the sales of top selling comics inthe United States, where the population of young people is nearly three times that of Japan,
are only about half of that figure. On the other hand, there are clear signs that the popularityof manga in Japan may have already reached the top. Sales have steadily declined since the1990s. This may be because of the declining birth rate along with the increasing use of mobile
phones and video games. *Despite this decline, however, this unique medium still holds a
special place in the hearts of Japanese people.
