（Ａ）

Ａ．These days Internet users must understand dozens of acronyms.
Ｂ．The use of acronyms has exploded in the last several decades
for two main reasons.
Ｃ．In this case, acronyms serve to make long and difficult terms
easier to use.
Ｄ．An acronym is a word that is made from the first letters of aseries of related words.

One can hardly imagine the English language today without the useof acronyms. Yet there was a time not so long ago when the use of suchwords was much less common.
（⑴）For example, the term FAQ is an acronym that stands for“frequently asked questions.” BBC is another example, standing for the“British Broadcasting Corporation.” Such kinds of words have existed forages and in a wide variety of languages. Two historical examples might
be the time markers of “am” and “pm.” These two stand for the Latinwords “ante meridiem” and “post meridiem,” meaning “before noon” and“after noon” respectively, and have been used in English since the 1600s.
（⑵）Firstly, World War II introduced numerous new terms. Oneof the most famous was the expression AWOL, which means “absence
without leave.” AWOL originally referred to soldiers who were absent
from duty without permission. It is now used in all sorts of situations
where someone does not show up for his or her responsibilities.
The second big reason for the increased use of acronyms has been●

the spread of computers and computer technology.（ ⑶ ）The term
URL, for instance, stands for “uniform resource locator.” Everyone agrees
that URL is much easier to say. The arrival of email has also helped
spread acronyms, as such terms can be typed much faster than the fullwords.（
ASAP⑷）If they don’t, it would be wise for them to learn them“as soon as possible.”

（Ｂ）

Ａ．An agreement on this issue was finally reached between the twosides back in 2006.
Ｂ．For instance, winemakers in California have been labeling theirown sparkling wine as Champagne since the 1860s.
Ｃ．Similarly, the blue cheese Gorgonzola is named after a town
near the Italian city of Milan.
Ｄ．Only those products that are actually produced in a specific area
are permitted to use such names.

Many of the names of famous food and drink products in Europe
refer to particular towns or regions. For instance, the name of the
sparkling wine “Champagne” comes from the Champagne region innortheastern France where the drink originated.（ ⑸ ）In Europe there are strict laws about the use of such names, which
are called geographical indicators.（⑹ ）France was the first country

in the world to introduce laws related to geographical indicators. Since
then, other countries have introduced similar laws to limit the use ofcertain place names for products.
The European Community（EC）established rules regarding the useof geographical indicators. In the case of Champagne, this means wine
producers not located in the Champagne region cannot label theirsparkling wine as Champagne. Since 1992, the geographical indicator
Champagne has been protected under the EC rules.
In the United States, however, there is much less emphasis on theimportance of geographical indicators. For this reason, there are many
products that use geographical names from Europe.（ ⑺ ）●The different attitudes toward geographical indicators led to a tradedisagreement about wine between Europe and the United States thatlasted for many years.（⑻）As a result, the United States agreed

not to use Champagne and certain other names for wines produced in
the United States. However, the agreement only applied to new productsthat appeared after 2006, so older products using the label “California
Champagne” could continue to be sold.

calling themselves the Oxford Dangerous Sports Club made a plan tojump off the edge of a local bridge with bungee cords tied to their legs
to stop their fall. Most people thought they were crazy. The students’sisters called the police, worried that they were going to hurt themselves,
and a group of officers arrived to watch the bridge and make sure no
one tried jumping. The students were patient. They waited all day until
the police had given up and gone home. Then, wearing tuxedos andcarrying bottles of Champagne, they sneaked onto the bridge, made thejump and lived to tell about it. That was the humble

and illegal

birth of the bungee jump.
But there is more to the history of bungee jumping. Credit for theidea belongs to a much older tradition from a remote Pacific island.
Native people in the island nation of Vanuatu have a ceremony called“land diving” that is used to celebrate young men who have become
adults and to bring the community a good harvest. Once a year, themen from the village build a tall wooden tower. Then, after tying a longvine to their ankles, they jump from a platform on the tower. The vines
do not stretch like bungee cords, so the jump stops abruptly. And thevines are long enough that each man should actually be able to brush
the ground with his shoulders but not injure himself.
It was a film of this tradition that first gave members of the
Oxford Dangerous Sports Club the idea of jumping from the edge of abridge. The Oxford University jump was witnessed by dozens of people,
and photos of the event appeared in newspapers all over England. But
most people thought it was nothing but a joke. The young men who●jumped spent a few days in jail for their trouble, but it wasn’t enoughto stop them from doing it again. Since the police had warned them not
to try it in England, they took their bungee cords to the US, where they
jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge. Then, they were sponsored by an
American television show to do a jump from the Royal Gorge Bridge.
In New Zealand, a young adventurer named A. J. Hackett was
paying attention. He and his friends started bungee jumping fromvarious bridges in New Zealand, and then they moved on to othercountries.

They,

too,

were

arrested

this

time

in

Franceforattempting to bungee jump off of the Eiffel Tower. Again, the news went
worldwide, and interest in the activity began to grow. Hackett saw his
opportunity. He returned to Queenstown, New Zealand, improved thesafety of his bungee equipment and methods and, in 1988, establishedthe very first bungee-jumping site for paying customers. The sport was ahit, and people have been safely jumping from high places ever since.

（Ｂ）Pigeons, like rats, raccoons and crows, are one of the mostsuccessful animals when it comes to living in cities. Local people love tofeed them. However, local governments hate them for making a mess onbuildings and statues. Many cities have a love-hate relationship with
their pigeon populations, and animal rights groups sometimes have tofight against the cruel killing of these dull gray birds. But there is one
fact that most people do not know about pigeons

they are not truly

wild. In fact, the correct term to describe the common city pigeon isferal. “Feral” refers to an animal that was usually tame or a pet but
has returned to living in the wild. You probably would not call a straycat feral, but if that cat has kittens, and they continue living without
human help, the kittens can be called feral.
There is evidence that humans have been taming and keeping
pigeons and doves since before recorded history

possibly as long as

10,000 years. Historical evidence of keeping andbreeding

pigeonsappears in the early literature and paintings of almost every culture.
Large numbers of the birds were kept and bred in buildings called“dovecotes” from the Middle Ages right into the modern era（whenhouses for pigeons started to be called “lofts”）.
Pigeons have been kept for many reasons, depending on the time
period, the place and the people. Some were kept for food. Some were
kept for sports like racing. Some were kept for religious reasons. But
one of the main reasons they were kept is their famous ability to fly
home from anywhere while carrying a message tied to one leg. Pigeons
have been used as messengers throughout human history. In fact, one
pigeon was given a medal for helping to save British troops during
World War I. The bird flew 40 kilometers with its message, even after it
had been shot and terribly wounded by the enemy.

●

The truth is that every pigeon you see in the street is thedescendant of tame birds owned by humans. These feral pigeons arewhat is left of thousands of years of careful breeding. Now, due to socialchanges and new technology, it seems that humans have no more use
for these once-useful birds. As a result, the survivors have learned tolive among us

eating the food we leave behind and building theirhomes in the hidden corners of our cities.

（Ａ）Individuals

who

wish

to

keep

close

watch

on

government

proceedings cannot get by without a Hansard. At least that is the casein the UK and about 15 other nations around the world including
Australia, Canada and New Zealand. A Hansard is the day-by-day
written record of government proceedings and debates. Behind the nameis an interesting bit of history.
The British Parliament had always been secretive about the content
of its discussions. In the mid-18th century, however, public interest in
the deliberations of government grew enough so that writers began
publishing regular reports of its daily debates. In the beginning, such
writers were punished by Parliament. Still, public interest was keen, andpublishing a written record of government affairs became an issue
connected to the right of free speech.
A man named William Cobbett was one of the first people given
permission to cover the daily affairs of the government. Cobbett would
piece together as much news as he could and then send it to his printer,
Thomas Curson Hansard. Thomas Hansard eventually bought Cobbett’s
publication and continued it himself, giving it the simple name of the
Hansard.

Hansardandhis

successors

then

won

out

over

other

competitors and became the leading record keepers of parliamentary
proceedings. In fact, by 1889, the British government was helping to pay
for some of its costs and eventually, in 1909, took over the entire
publication. Nevertheless, the name Hansard remained. The name also
traveled to other countries that used the British parliamentary system.
Consequently, Hansards can now be found in many places around●the world. They are excellent resources to use in keeping up withgovernment affairs.

．What is the main topic of this passage?
Ａ．How the Hansard got its name.
Ｂ．The life of Thomas Curson Hansard.
Ｃ．The modern roles of the Hansard.
Ｄ．How Thomas Curson Hansard achieved free speech.

．According to the passage, why did the British Parliament stop
punishing writers who published accounts of government discussions?
Ａ．Parliament wished to keep their discussions secret.
Ｂ．Public interest in the government became too high.
Ｃ．William Cobbett protested against the government.
Ｄ．Parliament itself took over the publication of such discussions.

（Ｂ）When we go to the movies these days, we can expect sound, colorand even 3D effects. However, these weren’t always available. When thefirst movie was shown in 1895 in Paris, it was under a minute long, inblack and white, and without sound. These movies slowly got longer but
remained silent and black and white for many years.
You may have heard of Charlie Chaplin but have you heard of
Buster Keaton? Buster Keaton is one of the most famous comedy movie
stars of all time. He appeared first, not in movies, but on the stage
with his parents at the age of only 4 years old. He was thrown aroundby his father and mother like a bag. He even had a handle on the backof his jacket. It was in these shows that happened throughout hischildhood where he learned how to fall and be funny using only his
body language. He was famous all through his career for his deadpan*
expression. He never showed anger or happiness but tried to show all
emotions through very small facial gestures and his eyes.
Buster Keaton’s most famous movies were in the 1920s. He wasallowed to write and direct in these movies. Many of his movies were
famous

for

using

very

moderncameratechniques

and

also

very

dangerous stunts*. Buster was incredibly athletic but still had many
injuries throughout his career and even broke his neck in one movie. He
didn’t realize this until a doctor told him about it many years later.
Buster Keaton appeared in over 100 movies and TV shows in his
career from 1917 up to the end of 1965, when he passed away fromcancer just after filming. However, even though he performed in movies
with sound and color, his best known and highest reviewed movies were
all from the silent age of movies.

（Ｃ）Tall office and apartment buildings are sometimes not good for theenvironment. These skyscrapers can require an enormous amount ofenergy to heat and cool because of their large size. Also, the fact thatthey have many windows makes it easier for heat to escape in winter,and for sunlight to heat up the buildings in summer.
In the future, though, skyscraper windows may be replaced by“green” windows that offer a solution to energy-related problems. The
idea is to use windows equipped with solar cells that can generate
electricity. In other words, the windows of a tall building would be able
to function like solar panels.
The solar cells in the windows would use a chemical very similar
to the chlorophyll* in plants, which generates oxygen from carbon
dioxide when exposed to sunlight. Along with creating electricity, thewindows would also be used like normal windows, allowing people inside
the building to see what is happening outside.
The solar windows would perform better under cloudy conditions
than solar panels do and could also be better at creating electricity fromindirect light. This makes them perfect for the lower parts of a building
which receive less sunlight. Another advantage compared to solar panels
would be that they would not require any additional space to beinstalled. At this stage, though, the technology still has limitations,
including the fact that it does not create nearly as much electricity as
solar panels do. However, if solar windows can be successfully developed,
it may help make modern cities greener places to live.

［注］chlorophyll: 葉緑素●

．What is the main topic of this passage?
Ａ．The energy-related problems of skyscrapers.
Ｂ．A skyscraper built recently with solar windows.
Ｃ．A new type of window that can create electricity.
