２ 次の英文は、滋賀県出身の中学生が、琵琶湖の島についてスピーチコンテストで語ったものである。英文を読んで、あとの各問いに答えなさい。*印の語句には注が文末にあります。
Have you ever been to Shiga Prefecture? There are many places to visit in
Shiga Prefecture. For example, Hikone Castle, Omi Hachiman, and other famousplaces from history. However, the most famous place is Lake Biwa. In Lake Biwa,
we can enjoy beautiful views, fishing, swimming, and so on. As you know, Lake
Biwa is the largest lake in Japan. Do you know how much of Shiga Prefecture iscovered by Lake Biwa? Many people may think it *takes up more than half.
Actually, however, it only takes up about 17% of the area of Shiga Prefecture.
Now, do you know that there are islands in Lake Biwa?
Let me introduce four islands. From smallest to largest, they are
Okinoshiraishi, Takeshima, Chikubushima, and Okishima. The first island I want
to introduce is Okinoshiraishi. It is *located almost in the center of the lake. The
name comes from four rocks. There are two opinions about the *origin of the name.
( ① ) is that the rocks look white in the sunshine, and ( ② ) is that they lookwhite because of bird *droppings. The sight of the rock itself rising out of thewater is mysterious and is one of the “power spots” of Lake Biwa. The island
itself is a rock and it is not possible to go on it, but it is possible to view it froma sightseeing boat.
The second is Takeshima. It is six kilometers out in the water from Hikone
City. No one lives there. The island got its name because people view it
differently *depending on the angle. The island has a temple. Visitors can go to
the island by boat and stay for 30 minutes.
The third is Chikubushima. It is about six kilometers from Nagahama City.
In the day, people who work at the temples, the shrines and the stores go there,
but at night no one stays there. The island got its name because people say thata god lives there. The island has three national treasures and other important*cultural assets. About 150,000 tourists visit there every year. You can go there
on a sightseeing boat from Nagahama, Imazu and Hikone.
Lastly, Okishima. It is about 1.5 kilometers off the *shore of OmihachimanCity. It is actually Japan's only inhabited island in a lake. There are about 250
people living there. About 60% of them work in *fishing. There is no police box
2

or fire station, but there is a *kindergarten, an elementary school, a post office,and a small hospital. Since most of the island *is made up of a lot of hills, many
houses are nearby each other. Every day 10 to 12 boats run between
Omihachiman City and Okishima, and you can also take one from Otsu City.
This is all for my presentation. Finally, it takes only about one hour from
Osaka to Shiga Prefecture by train. There are still many interesting things about
Lake Biwa, such as *underwater ruins. If you have a chance, please go andexperience the places I talked about. I hope you will all become even moreinterested in Lake Biwa.

*Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They usually come frombigger plastic products that *break down over time. Microplastics are so smallthat we can’t see some of them with our own eyes. They can end up in places likerivers, lakes, oceans and even in the air. New research suggests that 136,000*tons of microplastics are *given off from the oceans each year, and this ends up
in the air. People have found them in rain, ice, inside the fish we eat, and also in
fruits and vegetables. Worst of all, scientists in China have just foundmicroplastics in the human heart. Some scientists think that people take in about
five grams of plastic a week, or about 52,000 pieces of plastic a year.
( ① ) We can reduce the use of plastic products and choose more ecofriendly things. Also, it’s very important to throw away plastic waste in the right
way and to try to recycle it when we can. The leaders of countries can make laws
to reduce the use of plastic. They can also give *benefits to companies that
follow these laws and offer money to researchers who find ( ②) to theproblems of microplastics.
There is already so much microplastic all around us. To remove it from water,an Irish inventor, Fionn Ferreira, found a better way to remove microplastics fromwater using *a magnetic mixture of oil and rust. His idea has won many awards.
For example, the top prize at the Google Science *Fair and the European Inventor
Award. With this idea, he hopes to use it to *filter water in waste *treatment.
Many *filters cannot remove all microplastics because the plastics are too small.
( ③ ) So, the boats could clean the water that passes through those *engines
while they move around the oceans. In fall, 2020, Suzuki Motor Corporation said
they would put a microplastic filter in their boat engines using a similar idea.
Another invention – called the Robo-Fish – has given us another solution
for the problem of microplastics in water. ( A ) This robot fish is designed toswim around and catch microplastics on the water. ( B ) The plastics *containthings which have strong *chemical bonds with parts of the fish. ( C ) The
microplastics will then stick to the fish, so it can collect and remove microplastics
from the water. ( D ) So, to improve it, scientists are already working to makea better fish that can go deeper into the water.
5

The fight against microplastics has to be carried out from different areas.
Researchers, companies, countries and all of us need to work together to reduceand improve the making of plastic and protect our environment.

4 次の英文を読んで、後の問いに答えなさい。*印の語句には注が文末にあります。

From June 1, 2023, laws on the *red-eared slider and *American crayfish*came into effect. ( ①). It is necessary to keep the animals until they die

without *releasing them into nature. Children can catch crayfish in nature andrelease them. However, if they take them home and keep them for over a year,
they can’t release them back into nature. Crayfish don't live that long, but redeared sliders can live a very long life of 20 to 30 years. Some live for 40 years.
When they are very young, they are so small that they can fit in your hand, but
as they get older, they grow to 20 to 30 cm long, so we need large tanks andspace for them to live. If you break the law, you will have to go to *prison for up
to 3 years or have to pay a fine of up to three million yen.
( ②

) How many *invasive species have you seen in Japan? These species

include plants too. For example, the *golden glow is often seen on the side ofroads. It was brought into Japan over 100 years ago and found to be in naturein 1955. The movement of people and goods has become active, and many
animals and plants are brought into the country as pets, food, and for research.
American crayfish were first brought into Kanagawa for use as food for frogs. On
the other hand, there are many things that have entered Japan in people’s bags
or in *cargo. Even though there are differences between *intentional and*unintentional species, they all have *in common that they entered Japan as a
( ③ ) of human activities.
Are all foreign species bad? For example, *white clover is known ( ④ )clover. We see them in parks, mountains, ( ⑤) the sides of roads, and in manyother places, but this white clover is also an invasive species. There are not somany people who speak badly about this plant we have known well ( ⑥ ) sucha long time. When people go to the park, some of them make *necklaces withclover flowers. People say that clovers ( ⑦ ) four leaves bring good luck. When
we think about it, there are not so many bad *effects of clovers. More than that,clovers seem to make people happy. How about *rainbow trouts? When we talkabout foreign species of fish, you might think of a *black bass, but a rainbow
trout is also one. ( A ) People say that they came to Japan over 100 years ago
8and slowly started to make Japan their home, especially in Hokkaido. ( B ) Now,
it is grown as a food fish and also as a popular fish for fishing. ( C ) They are
loved all over the country. Actually, in Hokkaido, it has had a bad influence, but
it is an invasive species with many good points. ( D )Even though it is important to kill alien species, it is not always necessary
to lose them forever. Many have already been in this country for a long period
and have become part of Japan. Some species have also changed ecosystems.
The important thing is not the listing of alien species. If the loss of balance, suchas a big increase in the number of living things, strongly affects the *ecosystemand human society, it is necessary to manage the ecosystem. The ecosystem haschanged and we should be *responsible for this.

People can do many things to solve this problem. One is to collect rainwater. That water can be stored to be used in theirgarden. Another is for people to use less water at home. They can shower some days instead of having a bath or try toreuse bath water to wash clothes.
