次の文章を読んで，あとの各問に答えよ。
（ * 印の付いている単語・語句には，本文のあとに【注】がある。
）“What are you good at?” Wakako didn’t like this question. When she was practicing
for the interview test of high school entrance exams, she couldn’t think of anything toanswer this. She always felt that she was just OK, not great, at everything. She wasn’t
especially good at sports. She knew many students did better than her on tests. She
thought she didn’t have any special talents, either. When Wakako couldn’t answer thisquestion, her junior high school teacher gave her some advice. He said, “Step out of yourcomfort zone, and you will find your answer to the question.” Wakako asked, “My comfort
zone?” The teacher said, “You usually choose to stay in your own small group of *closefriends, and you don’t try to do anything new, right? That’s your comfort zone.” Wakako
had to agree with this. She always stayed with her close friends, and she was so shy that
she often *hesitated to try new things. She didn’t know how to change her behavior.
A week passed after Wakako entered high school. She heard that her school wasgoing to hold the sports festival in a month. At her school, students are put into threeteams and take part in various sports games, such as a relay. In addition, each team*organizes a dance performance group and shows their performance at the sports
festival. Wakako’s junior high school had a similar tradition, and she was a member ofthe dance performance group. It was fun, but she remembered her junior high school
teacher’s advice and thought, “This time I should try something I’ve never done before.”
Everybody in her class was talking about the event, and some of her classmatesalready decided to join the dance performance group. Her classmates who were excitedabout the dance performance asked Wakako to join the group. While she was wondering
how to answer them, Momi, one of her close friends from junior high school, came to her
and asked, “If you are not joining the dance performance group, why don’t you take partin the *banner group? I’ve already decided to join it.” Momi continued, “Each teammakes a huge banner which *represents their team, and the banners will be on a wall of
the school building.

That’s cool, right?” Wakako wasn’t sure that she would enjoy doingit, but (1) she agreed to try it. She was *relieved. She thought, “Momi saved me! It will
be easier to try a new thing if I’m with her.”*Banner-making was not an easy job. About twenty students worked on one big
banner. They had *less than a month to finish it. In this short time, they had to draw
pictures on a big *cloth and paint them with various colors. They worked after schooland even on weekends. On the last Saturday in April, Wakako went to school to makethe banner and found out that Momi wasn’t there because she wasn’t feeling well.
Wakako suddenly started feeling nervous. She wanted to go home, but other members
were already there and getting ready to start their work. “I wish I had some close― 5 ―23120042-国際R-模試2024-英語̲問題-本文04.indd 52024/01/30 9:35

friends here,” Wakako said to herself.
Shota, a third year student who was the leader of banner-making, asked Wakako topaint a part of the banner blue. Wakako felt relieved because that job was so simple thatshe didn’t need to worry about making any mistakes. After about an hour, (2) Wakako

noticed that Shota was in trouble. He was looking at one corner of the banner that he
was painting. After a while, he said to himself in a disappointed voice, “It doesn’t look
like a strong tiger.” Wakako looked at the corner and found a very *flat tiger on it. She
remembered a *technique to add *shadows to paintings. She learned the technique in anart class when she was in junior high school. She thought, “Maybe that technique willsolve the problem!” She was excited to find a solution and tried to talk to Shota, but she
stopped herself and stayed silent. She thought, “I know the technique, but that doesn’tmean I’m good at it. Also, I always feel very nervous when I’m talking to somebody I
don’t know well. If I were braver, I would help him.”
Though Wakako decided to say nothing to Shota, he asked Wakako, “What do you
think about this tiger?” Wakako was so surprised that she said, “Shadow!” without
thinking carefully. Shota seemed a little *confused at first, but he soon smiled and said,“You’re right! Do you know how to add shadows?” Wakako was still nervous but started
explaining the technique to him. Wakako tried hard to help Shota understand how to doit, and she *ended up adding shadows to the tiger in front of Shota and other members.
They seemed *amazed at her technique, and she felt the same. She said to herself, “Whata strong tiger!”
After this happened, other members asked for Wakako’s advice when they were
working on some difficult parts of the banner, and she tried to do her best to support
them. When they admired her skills, she felt embarrassed, but at the same time, she felt
satisfied. She really enjoyed working on the banner and communicating with othermembers. She especially enjoyed talking about techniques of painting with them.
Wakako thought, “Maybe my junior high school teacher was right.” She finally found heranswer to (3) the question she didn’t like before.

This year’s sports festival gave Wakako the chance to step out of her comfort zone.

Through this banner-making experience, she learned that being good at something
doesn’t mean being the best or the most *talented. It means being excited about doing
something and feeling happy to work hard on that thing. When she saw the banner on
the wall on the day of the sports festival, she was proud of herself. She will never forgetthat feeling. After the sports festival, Momi said that Wakako should join the art club.
Wakako immediately agreed to do that.
(4)

Now the sports festival is finished. She is looking forward to the sports festival

next year. She will certainly join the banner group.

次の文章を読んで，あとの各問に答えよ。
（ * 印の付いている単語・語句には，本文のあとに【注】がある。
）
Every year, we use about 1 billion tons of *pesticides to fight against *pests because
they eat 1 of the *crops we grow. Though we can protect some crops thanks to5pesticides, using pesticides leads to bad results, too. They make farmers sick, they makesome *insects like bees and butterflies die out, and they *pollute the environment.
Pesticides can easily pollute the air, ground, and water when they run off the fields. On
the other hand, plants have fought against pests longer than humans, and they haven’t
damaged the environment. (1) How is this possible?

When a pest starts eating a leaf, the plant starts producing *chemicals inside its bodyto keep the pest away. These chemicals are effective only on the plant’s *enemies like pests
that eat the plant. The plant also *releases chemicals into the air, and they work as a*warning sign to other plants near it. When other plants get this message, they produce
their own chemicals inside their bodies and stop pests from eating their leaves. Thatkind of “communication” is going on around us all the time, but, until recently, we didn’tknow that was happening because humans couldn’t see or smell those kinds of chemicals.
The first *evidence of (2) communication by plants came in 1983. By studying sometrees, scientists found that plants use special chemicals. These chemicals are released

into the air and received by other plants. Scientists have discovered a large number of*compounds of those chemicals since the first evidence was found. Plants produce
different compounds *according to the type of danger they face. For example, plants canunderstand the type of pest that is eating their leaves, and they change the compoundsof chemicals according to each type. Also, when there is a forest fire around them, they
produce another kind of compound of chemicals for other plants that are far away fromthem. They release it to protect other plants. When these plants receive the message,
they start to *bud right away.
Plants can also communicate with other living things such as insects. Plants releasechemicals to get help when there is danger, and these chemicals easily travel on thewind, so insects receive them. For example, when plants are eaten by pests, they releasechemicals, and insects receive the chemicals and try to help the plants by eating thepests. In this way, plants use chemicals when they need *bodyguards. You may thinkinsects can find pests by themselves without the plants’ chemicals. However, insects thathave very bad eyes can also search for the pests even when the insects are far fromthem. It’s like finding a diamond in a huge field.
(3)

Scientists did experiments to do research on this. In one type of experiment, they

watched two plants. One was healthy and not attacked by pests, and the other was― 11 ―

23120042-国際R-模試2024-英語̲問題-本文04.indd 112024/01/30 9:35

attacked by pests. Surprisingly, insects with very bad eyes flew only to the plant
attacked by pests even when they were 50 to 60 meters away from the plant. Scientists
did the experiment again and again, and they always had the same result. In othertypes of experiments, they found more than 130 cases to show that different plants callfor various bodyguards, such as bees and birds, by producing chemicals. Plants cannot
run or shout even when they are in danger. However, they are very active and try tocommunicate with other living things to protect themselves. This communication system
also *benefits their bodyguards because they can eat the pests.
We have seen examples of communication of plants above the ground. However,plants can also communicate with each other under the ground. The plant *roots send
their messages to plants far away from them by using a *network of fungi under the
ground. Fungi are living things that grow around or inside the roots of plants. Fungi
help plant roots to get water and *nutrients.

Plants also give fungi other kinds ofnutrients they produce through *photosynthesis because fungi can’t produce or get such
nutrients by themselves. The network of fungi spreads through the woods, connects
plants, and allows them to send their messages to each other. In fact, 80% to 90% of
plants use this communication network.
Until recently, scientists believed that plants *competed with each other for nutrients,
and they thought weak plants couldn’t survive if there were stronger plants aroundthem. However, if this is true, why can small trees grow in the woods even when there
are bigger trees around them? If such small trees cannot get the light of the sun, theycannot get energy through photosynthesis, either. If that happens, they will get sick orthey may even die. The truth is that plants do not try to keep all the nutrients tothemselves.

(4)

Instead, they

. In this way, plants help otherplants, so plants in the *shade have a chance to survive thanks to the network under the
ground.
However, this communication system is in danger today. We have cut down a large
number of trees in the woods. Also, we have changed the condition of the *soil by using
pesticides. The network of fungi is easily affected by changes in the environment, and it
is difficult to repair the network when it is broken. So, if we continue to destroy theenvironment, more fungi will disappear and plants will not be able to connect with eachother. Also, pesticides pollute not only the land but also the air and water. According toscientists, polluted air and water may destroy the messages plants send in the air. If
these things happen, plants cannot receive the messages both in the air and under the
ground, and they have to live all alone without connecting with others.
Plants first appeared on Earth about 500,000,000 years ago. They have survived
many difficulties and learned the *ability to communicate with others. Both above and― 12 ―

23120042-国際R-模試2024-英語̲問題-本文04.indd 122024/01/30 9:35

under the ground, they are able to communicate with other plants by giving andreceiving chemical signs or nutrients.

The ability of plants to send and receive

information and nutrients is a key to the health of not only plants, but also other living
things including humans. Plants have the wisdom to connect with others and survive invarious places for a long time. Now is the time for us to learn from them and work to
benefit both humans and other precious species living on Earth.

ア

When plants want to send a warning sign to other plants, they produce
chemicals that are as safe for the environment as pesticides.

イ

Humans cannot see or smell the chemicals of plants, so for a long time they
didn’t know that the chemicals are safe for the environment.

ウ

Thanks to plants’ chemicals, now, plants aren’t fighting with pests often, so the  chemicals don’t affect the environment in a negative way.

エ

Though plants produce chemicals that their enemies don’t like, the chemicals
don’t include things that damage the environment.
