第三問【A】 次の英文は、長い間日本に住んでいたアメリカ人の筆者がアメリカに戻ってから書いた「春」に関するエッセイです。よく読んで下の設問に答えなさい。

One of my first memories of Japan is partying under the cherry trees in Kyoto. I can’tremember exactly what we ate and drank, but I remember everything was delicious and very
Japanese. Since that hanami party, about 20 years ago, I’ve often thought of April in Japanand how different it is from our April here in the US.
I always loved that school starts in Japan when cherry trees are in full bloom. ①What
better way to begin a new school year or a new job? It doesn’t really matter that in a couple ofmonths, students will be tired (A ) going to class and new employees will probably be

exhausted from their jobs. April is all about starting fresh and hoping for the best.
Meanwhile in the US, the school year is getting close to the end in April. Spring Break isover and most students and teachers want May to hurry up because that’s when classes endand seniors graduate. April has no special significance for working people either. Of course, itis the beginning of spring, and most people are happy about the warmer weather. But, ( B)fact, the two most famous expressions about April are not so cheerful.
The first, “②April showers bring May flowers,” is hopeful at least. The literal meaning is
simply that we need the rain in April so flowers will bloom in May. It means something like“bad times often lead to good.”
The second expression is not hopeful at all, “③April is the cruelest month.” This is thefirst line of T. S. Elliot’s famous poem, “The Wasteland.” (C ) a lot of people have never readthe poem, almost everyone has heard the expression about April being cruel. Why is it cruel?
Some say it’s because April is a time of new beginnings and promise, when the earth comesback to the life all around us. We long for that kind of renewal in our own lives too but can’t
seem to attain it. That’s where the cruelty comes in. April shows us what we can’t have.
Cruel or not cruel, April certainly has a different cultural meaning in Japan and the US.
(1), but (2), and (3).

The year 2018 marked the 200th anniversary of the death of Ino Tadataka, the man
responsible for creating the first surveyed map of Japan. Ino was born in Kujukuri, Chiba
Prefecture, in 1745. When he was 17, he was adopted by the Ino sake family in Sawara, about
40 km away from Kujukuri. He ran the business successfully and retired at age 49.
After retiring, he moved to Edo to study *astronomy. The astronomical calendar thenused did not match the actual movement of the stars. Therefore, a new (A) needed tobe made. In order to do this, Ino had to know how big the Earth was, and he set about trying
to measure 1 degree of the planet’s *latitude. He tried to calculate ①this using the distance
between Fukagawa and Asakusa in Edo, but found that they were too close together. Thus, hedecided to try to measure a longer (B). He got permission from the Tokugawa

Shogunate to survey and make a map of the island of Ezo, now Hokkaido, where Russian ships
often appeared around that time. The Shogunate wanted to know the precise geography of Ezo
for defense purposes and so approved Ino’s request. Ino was 55 when he set out on his firsttrip.
In the beginning, Ino counted his own steps. It is said that one of his steps was②approximately 70 centimeters. When he conducted his second survey the following year,

ropes and iron chains were used. Astronomical observations were also used to measure thelatitude of locations. (1) He then adjusted his survey data accordingly. The survey

team spent 17 years walking around the whole country. ③They traveled a total distance ofabout 43,707 kilometers, which is even greater than the *circumference of the Earth.
Based on the data collected, the team draw a *draft by making pinholes at the corners ofeach surveyed section. They then connected the dots with ink to produce an outline. The draft
was put on map paper, and the pinholes in the draft were made again with needles. (2),the survey lines were copied by connecting the pinholes with red lines. The results of Ino’s
great efforts are left on the (C) of these maps. A close look reveals ④countless tinypinholes along the red lines that show where Ino made his measurements.
Place names and more information were added as finishing touches. Along the lines aretiny words written with a fine brush. These are the names of places down to the village level.
Castles, temples, shrines and harbors are shown by symbols. The maps of (D) areas

were constructed for almost every survey, but the final version of Ino’s work, which amounted
to 225 pages, was finally submitted to the shogunate in 1821, three years after his death.
Ino’s Japan map is amazingly similar to the map of Japan as we know it today. His map
was used for more than one hundred years until new maps were made by modern survey
techniques.
