次の英文を読み、あとの問いに対する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。
For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon

was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was,“Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories* 1, or guesses, butthey could not prove*2 that their ideas were correct.
Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned toEarth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about themoon and the Earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon.
Today most scientists believe that the moon formed*3 from the Earth. They think that a large object hit the Earth early
in its history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the Earth, huge pieces of the Earth broke off.
These pieces went into orbit*4 around the Earth. After a short time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.
This “impact theory” explains many facts about the Earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because theimpact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The Earth has iron*5 in its center. However, the moon has very
little iron in its center. This is because the moon formed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the Earth.
Finally, the Earth and the moon are almost the same age －the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and the moon is about
4.4 billion years old.
No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support
this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the “impact theory” because it explains what we know today
about the Earth and the moon.
*1 theory：理論 *2 prove：～を証明する *3 form：～を形成する*4 orbit：軌道1.

When did people know about the origin of the moon?
ア Before 1969.
イ After 1969.
ウ Thousands of years ago.
エ 4.5 Billion years ago.

2.

What did NOT help scientists find the origin of the moon?
ア An object from Mars.
イ The moon’s movements.
ウ Rock samples from the moon.
エ Information about the moon and the Earth.

3.

According to the impact theory, what was the moon made from?
ア Pieces of Mars.
イ Pieces of the Earth.
ウ The mixture of pieces from Mars and the Earth.
エ The pieces of a large object that hit the Earth long time ago.

4.

Choose one thing that is similar between the Earth and the moon.
ア The amount of water.
イ The amount of iron in the center.
ウ The size.
エ The age.

*5 iron：鉄5. According to the passage, which sentence is true?
ア The moon has no water because of the heat from the Earth.
イ The Earth has little iron in its center because of the impact 4.4 billion years ago.
ウ The moon formed from light materials that make up the outer part of the Earth.
エ Scientists agree that there will be no new information that would prove the impact theory wrong.

次の英文を読み、あとの問いに対する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。

For over sixty years, his artistic skill brought to life richly imaginative worlds filled with children, animals andmagical creatures. Two of his works -- "Where the Wild Things Are" and "In the Night Kitchen" -- changed the world ofchildren's literature.
Maurice Sendak was born in 1928 in the Brooklyn part of New York City. His parents were Jewish immigrants*1
from Poland. As a child, Maurice was often sick. So he stayed home and read books and drew pictures a lot. When hewas sick, his grandmother dressed him in white clothes because she thought it would help keep death away. During WorldWar Two, many of his family members in Europe were killed in the Nazi German death camps. He remembers his motherscreaming and crying each time she learned that another family member had been killed. Sometimes his parents would
talk about the dead family member, especially the children.
These experiences help explain an important part of Sendak's books. Many of his stories are about a child trying tosurvive while facing fears*2 or other difficult emotions. In his books, he skillfully combined an adult's point of view witha child's point of view, and the dark and light in all of us.
In 1963, Sendak published "Where the Wild Things Are.” The story is about the adventures of a young boy namedMax. Max likes to dress up so he looks like a wolf. One evening, his mother sends him to his room without dinner as
punishment*3 for being bad. Max goes to an imaginary world where large, frightening creatures live. Max becomes theking of these Wild Things, but he becomes lonely and wants to return home. Some critics*4 thought the book was too scaryfor children. Some libraries even banned*5 it. But "Where the Wild Things Are" has been one of the bestselling children'sbooks since its publication*6.
When Maurice Sendak began his career, many of the stories in children's books presented a happy and perfect world.
However, he wrote books that were honest and sometimes very serious. The popularity of his work changed people’s idea
about what were good themes for children's books. He won every major award for children's literature. Time magazine
called him "the Picasso of children's books."*1 Jewish immigrants*1: ユダヤ移民*2 fear: 恐怖*3 punishment: 罰*4 critic: 評論家*5 ban: 禁止する
