[1]
As we enter 2022, the latest results from the Henley Passport Index show record-breaking levels of travel
freedom for top-ranking nations Japan and Singapore, but also the widest recorded global mobility gap since theindexʼs inception 17 years ago. Without taking evolving and temporary Covid-related restrictions into account,passport holders of the two Asian nations can now enter 192 destinations around the world visa-free – 166 morethan Afghanistan, which sits at the bottom of the index.
According to historical data from the Henley Passport Index, which ranks all the worldʼs passports
according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa, an individual could, onaverage, visit 57 countries in 2006 without needing to obtain a visa in advance. Today, that number has risen to107, but this overall increase masks a growing disparity between countries in the global north and those in theglobal south, with nationals from countries such as Sweden and the US able to visit more than 180 destinations
visa-free, while passport holders from Angola, Cameroon, and Laos are able to enter only about 50.
According to the passage, which of the following sentences is most true?
あ．Japan has been the only country with the most powerful passport for the past 17 years.
い．If you have the least powerful passport, you can only enter 26 countries without a visa.
う．According to the data, a person was able to go to 107 countries if they had a visa in 2006.
え．Angola, Cameroon, and Laos are some examples of countries in the global north.

－3－[2]A prediction made half a century ago about the future of planet Earth has become a reality, forcing thehuman race to do something about it. Syukuro Manabe, a Japan-born scientist working at Princeton University,
has been named a co-recipient of last yearʼs Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering research. His studies,using a supercomputer, showed that global temperatures rise from increased carbon dioxide levels in theatmosphere. Calculating the balance between the solar energy that reaches Earth and the energy released
from the planet puts Earthʼs temperature at minus 18 degrees. This means our survival on Earth is owed togreenhouse gases. On the other hand, any rapid change in the volume of greenhouse gases, which are slightly
present in the atmosphere, induces climate change that endangers human beings and other living organisms orlife on Earth.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited his contribution to the prediction of climate change as areason for awarding him the Nobel Prize, saying, “His work laid the foundation for the development of current
climate models.”
According to the passage, which of the following sentences is most true?
あ．What Syukuro Manabe predicted about 50 years ago has not yet occurred.
い．Although he was born and raised in the US, Syukuro Manabe teaches at a university in Japan now.
う．If it were not for greenhouse gasses, the Earthʼs temperature would be much lower.
え．Climate change is useful because it makes our lives safer and more comfortable.

次の英文を読んで、設問に答えなさい。
When Janette was very little, a famous ballet company came to her town. It was amazing that such afamous ballet company would come to the small town where she lived. Janetteʼs parents took her to see theperformance. She was amazed by the grace of the ballet dancers. Their movements were both powerful andgentle. From that day, Janette decided to become a ballet dancer.
“Mommy, do you think I can be a ballet dancer when I grow up?” Janette asked her mother after theperformance.
“Of course you can, sweetie.

（1）,” Janetteʼs mother told her daughter.

“Yay!” Janette said. She was very excited.
“But it takes a lot of hard work and practice to succeed.

（2）, but if thatʼs your dream, you mustnever give up!” Janetteʼs mother said.
“I wonʼt!” Janette replied.
The very next day, Janette started taking ballet lessons. She was very good at it and loved every minute.
She always looked forward to going to her ballet classes.
One day, after class, the dance instructor said to Janetteʼs mother: “Janette has a lot of talent.（1）She could
go very far if she keeps with it.”Janette was very talented. She was the fastest in the class to learn new moves. Her body moved muchmore gracefully (a) anyone elseʼs. It wasnʼt long (b) the dance instructor picked her out as the star

student of the class. During dance recitals, Janette was always ① [give] a lead role.
As Janette grew older, the local ballet company became interested in her. After one of her recitals, thedirector of the ballet company came up to her.
“（3）. I would love for you to join our company,” he said.

Of course, Janette accepted his offer. This was a big step, and Janette hoped that it would lead to bigger
things. The director admired her for her talent and always gave her important roles in their performances.
The following year, Janette learned of a new ballet company in New York City that was to be led by afamous ballet director. He was going to audition talented new dancers for his company. This would be Janetteʼs
big break and she knew it. She packed her bag with her ballet shoes and dance clothes and took the train toNew York City. When it was her turn to perform for the audition, she performed as best as she could. Whenshe finished, she turned to the director. She was excited to hear what he thought about it.
“Hmm...

（4）,” he said.

Janette couldnʼt believe her ears.
“Iʼm sorry... What?”“I said, that wasnʼt good enough,” the director said.
With tears in her eyes, Janette ran from the room. She cried all the way home. When she got back to herhouse, she thought about throwing her ballet shoes away. Then she changed her mind.

－5－

“No, Iʼm not going to let that get me down. I know Iʼm good enough. I can do it. Iʼll prove that director
wrong someday!” she said to herself.
She returned to the local ballet company and finished school. Then she decided to give New York City
another try. She moved there and got a part-time job. In New York City, the ballet scene was very difficult.
She continued to go to auditions, but she never got called back. She came very close to ② [quit], but she
stayed true to her promise.
After a year of failures, she finally got a part in a professional company. Her role was only as a backgrounddancer. She would have to work her way up from there. At first, Janette was very happy to have a job as aprofessional dancer. （2）But this turned out to be a hard time for her. She practiced very hard, but she wasnʼtmaking any progress. Whatʼs more, the senior dancers looked down on her. They would make fun of her andtell her she was no good.
After practice, she would often come home and cry. She had never imagined that dancing could be sodifficult. When she thought about giving up, she remembered the day of her first audition. She remembered
how bad she had felt after that. She also remembered her promise not to give up.
A few years had passed when Janette finally got a chance. One of the senior dancers got injured. Thedirector asked Janette to take her part. It wasnʼt a lead part, but she would get to dance a solo for the first time.
She danced very well. After that, she started to get better and better parts.
At last, Janette got a leading（3）role in a major show. She put everything she had into it and performed
beautifully. As the audience was clapping at the end of the show, tears came to Janetteʼs eyes. It was the mostwonderful feeling in the world.
Then, through her tears, Janette saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was the famous director that had
rejected her all those years ago. After the show, the director was waiting for her outside the stage door.
“Janette, I have never seen that role performed so well. You have become a great ballet dancer,” he said.
Janette was surprised. She didnʼt know what to say. The director continued:“Iʼve been following your career ever since you left that audition years ago. You had such talent and grace.
But, I could also see that you werenʼt ready. Things had come too easy to you. And because of that, you weremissing the most important thing that a ballet dancer needs. You were missing the will to never give up. Iʼmglad you were able to find that. I hope you will audition for me in the future.”With that, the director walked away. Janette couldnʼt find anything to say. (4)Tears came running down
her cheeks.
