In 1995, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared that advertising directed atchildren is inherently deceptive and exploits children under eight years of age. The academy
did not recommend a ban on such advertising because it seemed impractical and would infringe
upon advertisers' freedom of speech. (1) Today the health risks faced by the nation'schildren far outweigh the needs of its mass marketers. Congress should immediately ban all
advertisements aimed at children that promote foods high in fat and sugar. (2) A ban on
advertising unhealthy foods to children would discourage eating habits that are not only
hard to break, but potentially life‑threatening . Moreover, such a ban would encourage thefast food chains to alter the recipes for their children's meals. As for the food now served
at school cafeterias, (3) it should be safer to eat than what is sold at fast foodrestaurants, not less safe. The Department of Agriculture should insist upon the highest
possible food safety standards from every company that supplies ground beef to the school
lunch program.

3．次の英文を読んで以下の問いに答えなさい。(19 点)

It is amazing, the wonders that cruelty and despotism can sometimes produce. If fewof the millions of tourists gaping at the majesty of the Pyramids every year ( A ) a thoughtfor the millions of slaves who died constructing them, the Moscow Metro, too, is an example
of a form of victory ( B ) adversity. Inaugurated at the height of Stalin's dictatorshipin the 1930s, (ア) the Moscow subway saw armies of purge victims and labor camp inmates
deployed alongside thousands of building workers to create what was trumpeted as the world'sfinest subway system. ( C ) died tunneling deep under Moscow. They are pretty muchforgotten now, but their work is the pride and glory of Moscow and Russia, probably theworld's most bizarrely beautiful, most efficient, busiest and cheapest subway system.
The first tunneling started in 1932, and three years later the trains started running .
They haven't stopped since ― every 90 seconds or two minutes during rush hour, every fiveminutes the rest of the time, from 6 a.m. till 1 a.m. (イ) There may be a crush, but there
is seldom a wait. And the trains take you through a parade of marbled and spacious stations,which contrast totally with the grubby streets and crumbling buildings above ground. The
162 stations straddling 11 lines mean that most of the city of 11 million is covered by
the metro and it will cost you five rubles to go anywhere. For tourists, it's a major
sightseeing ( D ) . Some stations in the city center, for example, ( E ) mosaics, marble
and brass chandeliers. Other stations saw the use of three dozen types of marble, lavishstatuary, malachite and onyx.

5. 次の英文を読んで問いに答えなさい。(20 点)

I'll tell you this, but you have to promise that it will get no further. Not long afterwe moved here we had the people next door （ A ) for dinner and ― I swear this is true
― they drove. (Ⅰrecall asking them jokingly if they used a light aircraft to get to thesupermarket, which simply drew blank looks and the mental scratching of my name from all
future invitation lists). I was astounded, but I have since come to realize that there wasnothing especially odd in their driving less than a couple of hundred feet to visit us.
Nobody walks anywhere in America nowadays.
A researcher at the University of California at Berkeley recently made a study of thenation's walking habits and concluded that 85 per cent of people in the United States are'essentially' （ B ） and 35 per cent are 'totally' （ B ） . The average American walks
less than 75 miles a year ― about 1.4 miles a week, barely 350 yards a day. (1) I'm nostranger to sloth myself, but that's appallingly little. I rack up more (2) mileage thanthat just looking for the channel changer.
In fact, people have become so habituated to using the car for everything that it would
never occur to them to unfurl their legs and see what they can do. Sometimes it's almost
ludicrous. The other day I was in a little nearby town waiting to bring home one of my children
from a piano lesson when a car stopped outside the local post office and a man about myage popped out and dashed inside (and left the motor running ― something else that exercises
me inordinately). He was inside for about three or four minutes, then came out, got in thecar and drove exactly 16 feet (I had nothing better to do so I paced it off) to the general
store next door, and popped in again, engine still running.
And the thing is this man looked really fit. I'm sure he jogs extravagant distancesand plays squash and does all kinds of exuberantly healthful things, but I am just as （ C ）that he drives to each of these undertakings. It's crazy.
The fact is, Americans not only don't walk anywhere, they won't walk anywhere, and(3)woe ( イ ) to ( ロ ) anyone ( ハ ) who ( 二 ) tries ( ホ ) to ( へ ) make( ト ) them ( チ ), as a town here in New Hampshire called Laconia discovered to its
cost. A few years ago Laconia spent $5 million pedestrianizing its own center, to make ita pleasant shopping environment. （ あ ） it was （ い ）― urban planners came fromall over to coo and take photos ― but （ う ） it was （ え ） . Forced to walk one
whole block from a car park, shoppers abandoned downtown Laconia for suburban malls.
In 1994, Laconia dug up its pretty brick paving, took away the benches and tubs ofgeraniums and decorative trees, and put the street back to the way it had been in the firstplace. Now people can park right in front of the shops again and downtown Laconia thrives
anew. And if that isn't sad, I don't know what is.

経済的観点から見ると、一国の国際観光収入は輸出高、国際観光支出は輸入高と見なされ、国際観光は「見えざる貿易」ということができる。世界の多くの国では、国際観光は外貨の収入源として重要な存在で、WTO(世界観光機関)によると、1998 年には、世界の 83％の国において、国際観光収入が輸出商品上位5 位以内に入っており、また少なくとも 38％の国では、外貨収入源として首位を占めている。
