次の英文を読み、（１）-（５）の文が本文の内容と合うように最も適切なものをア～エの中から１つ選び、それぞれ記号で答えなさい。

Years and years ago at the very beginning of time, when the world had just been made, there wasno night. It was day all the time. No one had ever heard of sunrise or sunset, starlight or moonlight.
There were no night birds, nor night beasts, nor night flowers.
In those days the daughter of the Great Sea Snake, who lived in the depths of the seas, married
one of the sons of the great earth race known as Man. Yemaya left her home among the shades of thedeep seas and came to live with her husband in the land of daylight.
Her eyes grew tired of the bright sunlight and her beauty disappeared. Her husband watched her
with sad eyes, but he did not know what to do to help her.
“O, if night would only come,” she cried as she moved about on her bed. “Here it is always day, but
in my father’s kingdom there are many shadows. O, for a little of the darkness of night!”
Her husband listened to her cry. “What is night?” he asked her. “Tell me about it and perhaps I canget a little of it for you.”“Night,” said Yemaya, “is the name we give to the heavy shadows which darken my father’s
kingdom in the depths of the seas. I love the sunlight of your earth land, but I grow very tired of it. If
we could have only a little of the darkness of my father’s kingdom to rest our eyes part of the time.”
Her husband at once called his three most faithful servants. “I am going to send you on a trip,” hetold them. “You must go to the kingdom of the Great Sea Snake who lives in the depths of the seasand ask him to give you some of the darkness of night.”
The three servants left for the kingdom of the Great Sea Serpent. After a long dangerous trip theyarrived at his home in the depths of the seas and asked him to give them some of the shadows of night
to bring back to the earth land.
The Great Sea Serpent gave them a big bag full at once. It was tightly closed and the Great Sea
Snake warned them not to open it until they were once more in front of his daughter, their mistress,
Yemaya.
The three servants started out, carrying the big bag full of night upon their heads. Soon they heard
strange sounds inside the bag. It was the sound of the voices of all the night beasts, all the night birds,
and all the night insects. The three servants had never heard sounds like those in all their lives. They
were terribly frightened.
“Whether we die or not I am going to open the bag and see what makes all those terrible sounds,”
said one of the servants.
So they laid the bag on the ground and opened it. Out rushed all the night beasts and all the nightbirds and all the night insects and out rushed the great black cloud of night. The servants were morefrightened than ever at the darkness and escaped to the jungle.
Yemaya, daughter of the Great Sea Snake, was waiting for the return of the servants with the bag-4-full of night. Ever since they had started out on their trip she had looked for their return, hoping withall her heart that they would hurry and bring the night.
She was standing under a royal palm tree when the three servants opened the bag and let nightescape.
“Night comes. Night comes at last,” she cried, as she saw the clouds of night upon the horizon.
Then she closed her eyes and went to sleep under the royal palm tree.
When she woke up she felt greatly refreshed. She was once more the happy princess who had left
her father’s kingdom in the depths of the great seas to come to the earth land. She was now ready to
see the day again.
When it was daylight again the three servants came home through the forests and jungles with
their empty bag.
“O, faithless servants,” said their master, “why did you not listen to the Great Sea Snake and openthe bag only in front of his daughter, your mistress? Because of your disobedience I will change you
into monkeys. From now on you will live in the trees.”
And in Brazil night leaps out quickly upon the earth just as it leapt quickly out of the bag in thosedays at the beginning of time.

次の英文を読み、（１）-（５）の文が本文の内容と合うように最も適切なものをア～エの中から１つ選び、それぞれ記号で答えなさい。
Every day, people use the Internet to collaborate and share information. Today, scientists andarchaeologists*1 are using the power of the Internet to investigate*2 the past in a new, exciting way.
The approach is known as crowdsourcing, and it works with asking people for help with a project.
Crowdsourcing has the potential*3 to completely change modern archaeology.
Scientists in the United Sates and Mongolia used the Internet to try to solve a long-hidden mystery:the location of Genghis Khan’s tomb*4. Genghis Khan was the founder of the Mongol Empire, one of
the largest empires in history. When he died in 1227, he was buried*5 in an unmarked grave*6. He
didn’t want to be found, so his soldiers killed anyone they saw on their way to his tomb. They also
killed the people who built the monument. Then, finally, they killed themselves. Even today, thelocation of his tomb remains unknown.
Experts believe that Genghis Khan’s final resting place is somewhere near the Burkhan Khaldun,a sacred*7 Mongolian mountain. It’s a difficult place to get to and covers a huge area, so the scientists
had to rely on satellite images. However, there were over 85,000 images to study, so they needed a
lot of help.
More than 10,000 volunteers or “citizen scientists” joined the search. They logged in to a website
and labeled landmarks on very detailed*8 satellite images of the area. The landmarks could be roads,rivers, modern structures, or ancient structures. Participants also labeled anything else that lookedunusual.
According to project leader Albert Lin, humans can often do this kind of work better than computers.
“What a computer can’t do is look for “something strange,” he says. Lin’s team used the informationfrom the volunteers to decide on the best places to visit and study. The project has found more than
50 sites that might be related to Genghis Khan’s tomb. The exact location is still unknown, but Lin
believes that they are getting closer to finding out this great secret.
In fact, the spot where a lot of people thought Khan was buried is actually one of the country’s
most sacred spots. “Mongolians hate any attempt to touch graves, or even walk around graveyards,”
Mongolia Today said, “According to ancient tradition, burial spots are forbidden areas in which no one
is allowed.” So Albert Lin hopes to find it from space — and now he says he can.
Crowdsourcing is also being used in Peru, which has large numbers of historical sites from manydifferent cultures. It can protect important archaeological sites from looters―people who (ancient objects and ( BA)) them. Looting pits are easy to spot in satellite images, and volunteers canlook for signs of looting and illegal construction. They are happy to make scientific contributions ordiscoveries.

イ he was killed by his soldiers 800 years ago.
ウ he was buried in a place that cannot be seen from space.
エ he was buried in a place that was far away from any landmark.

The project to find Genghis Khan’s tomb has been done by
ア more than 10,000 volunteers in Mongolia.
イ more than 10,000 volunteers from all over the world.
ウ an archaeologist named Albert Lin and a few scientists in Mongolia.
エ an archaeologist named Albert Lin and more than 10,000 scientists.

Crowdsourcing CANNOT help archaeologists
ア to protect ancient sites from being damaged.
イ to find historical sites without going into sacred areas.
ウ to work with many volunteers at the historical sites in search of ancient objects.
エ to look for historical sites with the help of many volunteers from all over the world.
