New ones are made for every Olympics. The designs are different from city to city.

Jiro：

Mandy： What were the pictograms in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics like?
Here they are. They are different from those in Paris, aren’t they?

Jiro：Kento： Yes, they are simple.

2 〈The next day, the students are talking about the pictograms for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.〉
Kento： Let me tell you about the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Tokyo is the first city that usedpictograms for the Olympics.
Mandy： Why were pictograms used in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics?
Kento： I n the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Japanese people needed to communicate with visitorsfrom all over the world, but it was difficult to support visitors in their languages. So,Tokyo（）of another way to communicate witheveryone. That was the pictogram.
Jiro：

I think many visitors from other countries could not understand Japanese.

Kento： R ight. For that reason, Tokyo decided to tell people important information throughpictograms.
Mandy： I see. Then, do you know who created the pictograms for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics?
Kento： Yes, a group of designers started creating the pictograms. Katsumi Masaru, an* art critic, was one of them. The designers worked in small groups. One team was* working on sports pictograms. Another was working on pictograms for public places.
Each group worked hard * based on Mr. Katsumi’s idea. He thought the pictograms
would * play an important role in big events such as the Olympics.

What were the pictograms for public places like?

Jiro：

Kento： Here is an example. Have you ever seen this?
Mandy： Yes, it means a restaurant.
Kento： That’s right. This was used in Haneda Airport in 1964. Haneda Airport was an
entrance to Japan for visitors from other countries at that time. Before that, there

were * notices on the wall, but because most of them were written in Japanese, it was
hard for many foreign visitors to understand what the notices * said. So, pictograms

were〔 to / for / making / useful / easier for / the information / foreign visitors 〕

We often see such pictograms at the airports in Japan now.

Jiro：

Kento： There were pictograms in public places before 1964. But each country had different
pictograms. Mr. Katsumi and other designers tried to make simpler pictograms thateveryone in the world could understand when they started getting ready for the 1964
Tokyo Olympics. Simple pictograms created by Japanese designers many years ago
are still used around the world.

Kento： Now, many kinds of pictograms are used in public places. Have you seen this pictogram?
Mandy： Yes, I have seen it in school. It shows a door that is used to leave the building when
there is a fire or an earthquake.

Kento： That’s right. It was created by Japanese designers and became an * international standard
Jiro：in 1987. There is another example. Have you seen a *magnifying glass icon on websites?

Of course. It means “search.”

Kento： Right. It is often difficult to read the *text because of too much information in a limited
space on websites. That’s why pictograms are used on websites instead of text.

Mandy： One more example. Look, here is a small gift my friend in Australia gave me. Yousee it on the roads.
Jiro：Oh, it means “Be careful of kangaroos.” That’s easy. I would like to share it with ourclassmates. Why don’t we talk about the history of pictograms and those found inother countries for the presentation?

6）3 次は，高校 １ 年生の Nana が artificial hibernation（人工冬眠）について調べ，書いた英文です。

これを読んで，問 １ ～問 ６ に答えなさい。＊印のついている語句には，本文のあとに〔注〕があります。
（34 点）I read some surprising news last week. According to that news, humans will be able tohibernate
in the near future. It said that some researchers have been studying how to * apply*
artificial hibernation to humans. It also said that by doing more research on hibernation, wemay be able to use it in space or in the * medical field. However, not many animals hibernate,
and there are still many things that we don’t know. What is hibernation? How can it be applied
to humans? I read some books and articles to answer these questions.
First of all, animals that hibernate are some * poikilotherms and some * mammals, suchas bears. Poikilotherms, such as frogs or turtles, hibernate during winter because the outside
temperature and their body temperatures are almost the same, so they cannot be active.
Mammals, on the other hand, are able to keep almost the same body temperature by producing* heat inside their bodies. Hibernation of mammals is a * mysterious phenomenon. The bodytemperature drops, and the body stops the * metabolism that produces heat. Then, the bodysaves energy. Some mammals hibernate, but others do not. Some researchers believe that all
mammals had the * ability to hibernate, but maybe they have lost this ability because of theenvironment they live in. Maybe some mammals learned to survive winter without hibernating.
In 2020, the world was surprised by a study from a Japanese research team. It said that theteam put * mice into a condition very similar to hibernation, though mice do not hibernate. The
team * stimulated a part of the mouse brain
the “ * Q neuron.” After the Q neuronsＡ
were stimulated, the mice’s * oxygen consumption * decreased and their body temperature
dropped, and this hibernation condition continued for more than a day. After that, the mice* spontaneously returned to their original condition without any serious damage. This may be
the way to apply artificial hibernation to humans.
Another research team has found a different hibernation * switch. That is “smell.” Whenmice smell a * certain odor,
This condition is similar to hibernation. The team also①
found that the hibernation switch * elicits the ability to survive in a difficult situation, such as ina low-oxygen environment. One of the team members who discovered this hibernation switchsays, “For example, we can give a certain odor that elicits hibernation to a person in a serious
condition. By doing so, we can use artificial hibernation to help someone in a serious situation
survive. As a result, we may be able to save more.”
Ｂ
If artificial hibernation becomes possible, what situations will it be used in? Sunagawa
Genshiro, one of the members of the Q neuron research team, says, “We would like to startwith hibernation for short periods of time and then increase the hibernation time. We willstart with hibernation of only part of the body, and we would like to continue hibernation fora few hours or a few days. This can be used for medical care. We are also thinking about‘ * voluntary hibernation.’ In this hibernation,
Everyone will be able to put themselves②
into artificial hibernation when they suddenly become sick. Each of us will be able to control whento hibernate. This would help many people.” Before starting this research, Mr. Sunagawa wasa doctor. He took care of sick children at one of the famous children’s hospitals in Japan. He
saved many children, butHe could not forget the children who were not saved.
③
Because of that experience, he started his hibernation research.
If we can hibernate for longer periods of time, this technology will be used in other fields.
Mr. Sunagawa said, “In the future, hibernation will be used for space travel. If you are inhibernation while you travel in space, by saving water and food, it will be possible to travel
beyond the stars.” Hibernation may be a technology that gives us more chances for space travel.
I thought that hibernation was a mysterious phenomenon found only in some animals, but
recent research in science and technology shows that there is a chance of applying hibernation
to humans. After researching hibernation, I became interested in hibernation in the medical
field. If humans can use artificial hibernation, more people will be saved in the future. I lookforward to future research on hibernation as〔 can / help / sick / that / people / or injured /a technology 〕.
