第１問

次の文章を読んで後の問いに答えよ。

Even mountains at low *elevation have the risk of putting climbers in *distress. It is hopedthat mountain climbers make thorough preparations without *underestimating the risks.
There were 2,635 mountain distress incidents in 2021, up by 341 from 2020. The figure was
the second highest ( ア ) statistics were first *compiled in 1961.
With mountain climbing booming in recent years, the number of incidents of distress has been
trending upward. While incidents dropped in 2020 ( イ ) the COVID-19 pandemic, they havestarted rising again. There has been a *noticeable increase in mountain distress incidents in
the Tokyo metropolitan area, where there are many popular low-altitude mountains, such as
the 599-meter Mt. Takao. Apparently, many climbers headed for nearby mountains as theyrefrained from going to distant places.
The 969-meter Mt. Bonooreyama on the border of Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture has seen (ウ)aseries of *alpine distress cases in addition to climbers falling or slipping: Some climbers could
not find the trail and got lost or became stuck on the mountain when night fell. Such incidents
involved not only elderly climbers or those in middle age, but also many in the youngergeneration.
(エ)It is easy to get lost in low-altitude mountains that have many roads for forestry work andpaths used by local residents. In some paths on such mountains, rocks and roots of trees havebeen exposed due to lack of development. Even though these mountains seem *approachable,
climbers must not be careless.
The need for basic equipment, such as clothing suitable for mountain climbing, hiking footwear,
rain gear, headlights and maps, is the same for low- and high-elevation mountains.
If people start climbing a mountain earlier in the day, that could reduce the risk of getting lost
after sunset. It is important to make reasonable plans by taking into consideration thepossibility that ( オ ) going out during the pandemic may have caused one’s physical strength
to decline.
Even though a mountain is at low elevation, it is essential to submit a mountain climbing*registration form that includes the climber’s name, contact information and *itinerary. The
previous system allowed climbers to write such information on paper and post it at a starting
point of a mountain trail, but local governments are increasingly allowing these forms to besubmitted online before a climb. If climbers also share their plans with family members, it isexpected that police or firefighters can be mobilized for searches sooner in the event of anemergency.
Climbing a mountain is a full-body exercise that can help train one’s heart and lungs tofunction better and improve the strength in one’s legs. When standing on the peak of a mountain,
the sense of *accomplishment is *immense. However, if a climber is in distress, it will all cometo nothing. If tiredness or anxiousness sets in, climbers should have the courage to not *overdo
it and turn back.
