（Ａ）

Ａ．This money is used to support a wide range of activities that
aim to deal with social problems.
Ｂ．The problem, though, is that it is not always easy for anindividual to identify who really needs a donation.
Ｃ．The reality is that problems like poverty are very difficult tosolve because the causes are extremely complex.
Ｄ．This is the idea, in other words, that charity activities would
take the place of certain public programs.

Every year people donate a huge amount of money to charities. In
the United States alone, charities receive around 350 billion dollars ayear.（⑴）Without question, the activities of charities bring many

positive results. But there are also some negative aspects.
One major criticism is that they tend to deal with specific problems
but do not address their basic causes. For example, there are manyorganizations that assist poor people, but they are not able to eliminate
the root causes of poverty. According to this view, the time and moneythat people spend on charity activities could be better used in different
ways. However, this criticism is unfair.（ ⑵ ）Another criticism is that they do not always use the money theyreceive in the most effective way. Many believe that they spend far too
much of their money paying the salaries of their own staff. Such critics
think that it might be more efficient to give the money directly to thepeople who need it, rather than donating to charities.（ ⑶ ）It is●usually easier to donate via a charity instead.
Critics also worry that increased donations to charities will result ingovernments reducing their own spending on similar activities.（ ⑷ ）Such a result is a concern for those who prefer governments to play theleading role. It seems unlikely, however, that charities could replace
government activities, since governments are by far the biggest spenders
on social programs.

Ａ．They rely heavily on computer programming, and a mistake by
a programmer might prove just as deadly on the highway as a
mistake by a driver.
Ｂ．Will driverless cars one day take over the roads and lead tosafer automobile transportation?
Ｃ．Accidents may have various causes, but safety experts arehoping there may soon be one overall solution for lowering thishigh number of deaths.
Ｄ．This is to provide help when encountering conditions beyond
those programmed and in emergencies if the system fails.

According to figures from the World Health Organization, in theyear 2010, worldwide deaths from traffic accidents totaled more than
3,000 per day.（⑸）Driverless cars, now in trial stages with several

manufacturers, may take control out of human hands and thus provide
safer road transportation. While that is good news, there are also
reasons why such cars may not offer the safe solution experts hope for.
The logic behind a driverless car is simple. It removes human error
and uses a combination of video cameras, GPS and other technologies tosafely guide an automobile through traffic. Such cars may also one day
be able to communicate electronically with other driverless cars to help
maintain separation and keep road accidents to a minimum.
Yet driverless cars are far from perfect.（ ⑹ ）To ensure safety,
programmers will need to incorporate almost every imaginable driving
situation into their programs, which is a seemingly impossible task. In
addition, if the system should crash, the car will likely crash as well.

●For safety purposes, such cars will probably need someone behind
the wheel at all times.（⑺）Furthermore, driverless cars will notwork when cut off from satellite connections

for example, when in aparking garage. Thus, they will not be truly “driverless” at all.
（⑻

）It is too early to tell, but research continues and hopes arehigh. Though not perfect at present, driverless cars might one day
provide the solution to the problem of traffic accidents.

（Ａ）People did not always write on paper. The earliest form of writing
was basic. People would cut words or numbers into stone, pieces of clay,
metal or even onto tortoise shells. Scientists have found ancient clay
tokens used for counting from as far back as 40,000 years ago, provingthat written number systems have been used for much longer thanwritten language. But the first signs of written language began toappear between 7000 BC and 2000 BC in many different places.
Carving onto hard materials is impractical. Clay is heavy andeasily broken. Metal and stone are difficult to carve. Several bettersystems arrived in different forms in different parts of the world. The
Egyptians began to write on a kind of tall water plant called papyrus.
These plants were easily turned into pages and scrolls. At the sametime in India, people began to use dried palm leaves, which were sewn
together into a kind of early book. And in China, silk scrolls andbamboo-panel

scrolls

becamethemostpopularformofstoring

information.
It was in China that paper was finally invented. Some of the first
paper was not made from trees alone but from a combination of treebark, rope, cloth and other fibers. These were shredded, and the fibers
were then soaked in water. The material was then pressed into a thinmat. This invention was altered over time, and it spread around theworld. It allowed books to become smaller and contain more information
than ever before. And it’s a good thingimagine how large a dictionary

would be if it were written on bamboo strips!
Today, technology has allowed us to store even more information in●even smaller spaces. But, of course, no one can access a text file from a
USB drive without an electronic device. Writing on paper is still oursimplest form of recording and storing knowledge.

（Ｂ）If you have never been to Australia, you might think that the
Outback* is the name of the Australian desert. And to a certain extent
you would be right, but also wrong. The Australian Outback is a uniqueplace, difficult to compare to other places on earth. In Australia, therural areas bordering urban areas are called “the bush,” and what isbeyond the bush is the Outback. There is no clear definition of the
Outback, nor is there a distinct border to separate the Outback fromother areas. However, the Outback accounts for around 70 percent of thesurface area of the Australian continent, which makes it bigger than
Europe if we exclude Russia. Spreading over roughly 6.5 million square
kilometers, it is so thinly populated that the estimated population is lessthan 60,000.
In addition to being enormous, the Outback is also beautiful, andfull of extremes and wonders. The temperatures in the deserts of the
Outback vary widely: between 50℃ on a hot summer day to 10℃ below
zero on a cold winter night. Although vast areas of the Outback areclassified as desert, the Outback sees a lot of rainfall, and even thedesert areas experience floods. Rainfall during the summer months is soabundant that the famous red dirt becomes invisible as it becomescovered in vegetation.
Beautiful sites in the Outback are numerous. The most famous one
among visitors is Uluru in the Kata Tjuta National Park. For many
visiting Uluru, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is thehighlight of their trip to Australia. It is a gigantic rock formation, 348
meters high. A big part of its appeal is in the fact that it appears tochange color, depending on what time of day or the season you areviewing it. It can be beautiful in many different ways, many times over.

（Ａ） If you have ever purchased an “imitation” food such as imitationcrab, you might be interested to know that the selling of fake food isquite common and has an interesting history. To this day, many foods
include “additives” in their ingredients, often consisting of unnaturalchemicals,

dyes

or

fats

with

complicated

names

like

monosodium

glutamate*（MSG）or acesulfame potassium*. Their purposes are always
the same: to help the food taste better or look more appealing to theeye.
Altering natural foods became widespread during the Industrial
Revolution, when more and more people moved into cities. With people
crowding together, there was a need for large supplies of food items, but
because urban life is not connected to rural food sources, this led to a
new generation of people who were not familiar with how their food was
being made. Furthermore, many people could not afford to purchasehigh-quality

items

and

were

on

the

lookout

for

food

that

was

inexpensive but still tasty. Many businesses took advantage of thissituation by secretly creating alterations. For example, they could makeflour look fuller and better by adding clay; meat could be made to lookfresher and tastier with the addition of dye or cheese. Unsuspecting
people bought this cheap food because it tasted good and was always
available.
Nowhere was this more common than in the making of jam, and in
the early 1900s, fake jam became a large and profitable business. In
particular, there was a large demand for raspberry jam, and the real
stuff became an expensive luxury. To create the fakes, people would mix
turnips* with rhubarb* jam, creating a paste; they would then add small
pieces of wood to resemble the seeds. By adding a little bit of sugar and●starch*, they would soon have a substance that looked and tasted like
raspberry jam, without using a single raspberry. There even used to be
entire factories of low-wage workers, mainly women, whose whole jobs
consisted of chopping away at wood to produce these tiny chips.
Fortunately, while imitation foods remain legal and can be foundeverywhere, laws have since been established that require such foods tobe labeled as “imitations” and state their actual ingredients.

Ａ．People’s food preferences during the Industrial Revolution
Ｂ．The history of raspberry jam making
Ｃ．Hazards of eating cheap and tasty foods

Ａ．There was a shortage of real raspberries around the world.
Ｂ．Real raspberry jam was too expensive for most people.
Ｃ．Fake raspberries usually taste better than real ones.
Ｄ．Raspberries are easy to confuse with rhubarb.

．What was the most likely consequence of having imitation foods?
Ａ．Those foods became less available for urban residents.
Ｂ．Those foods provided people with better health options.
Ｃ．Those foods cheated people out of knowing what they were buying.
Ｄ．Those foods offered better choices for people in rural areas.

（Ｂ）Tightrope walking is a kind of performance art where a person
walks across a wire or rope that is stretched tightly between two points.
It was performed in ancient Egypt and China, but nowadays, it is mostcommonly seen in circuses. Many tightrope walkers use a long pole tohelp them balance and have a large net under them in case they fall.
Some tightrope walkers don’t use nets, and they walk at heights where
falling would be fatal. In 1974, a French tightrope walker walked
between the Twin Towers in New York City, once the tallest buildingsin the world, at 417 and 415 meters high.
Perhaps the greatest tightrope walker ever was a Frenchman
named Charles Blondin, or “The Great Blondin.” In 1860, Blondin
stretched a rope across the Niagara Gorge*, which separates Canada
from the United States. The rope was about 50 meters above the
Niagara River and stretched some 3,300 meters across the gorge.
Blondin walked across it on multiple occasions with hundreds of excitedfans watching. He came up with more daring ideas each time. He
crossed once in a sack, on a bicycle, with a blindfold and with awheelbarrow* full of potatoes. More impressive was when he took atable, chair and stove and then cooked and ate an omelet while in the
middle of the rope.
Perhaps his most daring endeavor was when he announced hewould carry a person across on his back. A huge crowd gathered in themorning to watch, but no one would volunteer to ride on his back. By
afternoon, the growing crowd was restless, so his only choice was toforce his friend Harry Colcord to go. Unfortunately, Colcord was rather
heavy, so the crossing was harder than Blondin had expected, and he
had to take rests, which meant asking Colcord to get off his back.
Colcord was no doubt shivering with fear as he stood on the thin wire●

holding onto Blondin. They finally completed the endeavor as the crowd
watched in suspense. For several more days, Blondin continued to amaze
the crowds, who had traveled from all over North America to see him.
A year later, in England, the tightrope that Blondin was walking
on broke, and two workers were killed, but Blondin was fine. For
another 35 years, he continued to walk on tightropes around the world,and he never fell. At the age of 72, he died quietly in his bed in
London.

［注］Niagara Gorge: ナイアガラ峡谷
