第４問

次の英文を読んで，後の問い（問１～問４）に答えなさい。 22～35

The unusual sight of 30 or so pigeons *perched on the rooftop of a parked car
on a road in central Tokyo, rather than an *adjacent small park, seemed like anunlikely place to *congregate. But in fact it made perfect sense.
Although the road in the Tsukiji district of Chuo Ward was not *overly busyon that sunny, warm day in November, the traffic flow was modest and there
were pedestrians on the sidewalk.
Still, the birds were not bothered and made no moves to leave the car. Thedriver, who had no intention of feeding them, looked *perplexed and wasclueless as to why the birds picked that particular vehicle.
（１）

It turns out that pigeons take two factors into account when they pickwhere to perch, according to Shigeru Watanabe, *professor emeritus of animal
behavior at Keio University who won the *spoof Ig Nobel Prize for psychology in1995 for successfully training pigeons to discriminate between the works ofPicasso and those of Monet.
One is22. Pigeons have many natural enemies. By *huddling together,

they reduce the danger of each individual bird falling *prey to a *predator.
“If they perch on a *utility cable, they risk being attacked by crows,” he said.

“If they rest on the ground, they automatically become the target of cats.
Pigeons may have

23

that they will be less likely to be attacked if humans

are around and they found a car that offers a resting place at a safe height.”
The birds also have a （ア）flock mentality in that they follow whatever theirleader does, according to Watanabe.
Another key consideration is24

food is available.

In this particular park, feeding the pigeons is prohibited, although somepeople ignore the rule.
“It is possible that the pigeons were waiting for people to arrive with food
while they perched in a place with a low risk of being attacked,” Watanabe said.
He noted that the birds are able to25

individual human faces.

Watanabe won the Ig Nobel award, which honors “achievements that firstmake people laugh and then make them think,” for showing that pigeons candistinguish between paintings by Picasso and Monet by showing 10 pictures ofeach to them.
Watanabe *embarked on the *oddball project by feeding pigeons only when
they were shown paintings by Picasso, （２）which boast clear brushstrokes in*vivid colors. In the end, they *pecked only when Picasso’s works were shown.
He also found that the pigeons could even tell which paintings were by Picassoeven after copies of the two artists’ works were cut into pieces.
Their rate of accuracy was higher than that of humans.
Their ability to discriminate in such circumstances has drawn global attention
from scientists, Watanabe said, *citing experiments now under way to use
pigeons to26

such things as weapons hidden in a jungle and breast cancer*tumors in medical imaging.
Quite how a pigeon leader gets selected remains a bit of a mystery.
Watanabe said that unlike lions and gorillas, the birds do not have a single*charismaticand dominant leader.
網掛け部分については、著作権上の理由により公開できません。
“A pigeon that （イ）is good at finding a place where a flock can assemble tends
to play the role of the leader, but it does not mean that particular bird willremain at the top of the pecking （ウ）order,” he said. “It will lose that *cherishedposition if it makes mistakes in leading the flock.”（注） *perched：とまった*overly：あまり*adjacent：隣接した*perplex：当惑させる*professor emeritus：名誉教授*huddle：身を寄せ合う*utility cable：電線*vivid：鮮やかな*tumor：腫瘍*congregate：集まる*spoof：人を笑わせる*prey：餌食*predator：捕食動物*embark：乗り出す*peck：つつく*cite：引き合いに出す*charismatic：カリスマ的な―13 ―*oddball：奇妙な*cherished：大切な問１ 英文中の空所
