問４. 次の文章を読み、空所(1)∼(5)に入れるのに最も適切なものを、それぞれ下のア ∼ エか
ら１つずつ選び、その記号を記しなさい。
Sea Turtles and Light
Each summer, female sea turtles come to the beaches in Sarasota County, Florida, to lay their
eggs in the sand. Between 50 and 60 days later, thousands of tiny baby turtles, called
hatchlings, make their way from their nests back to the sea. Reaching the sea quickly is
( 1 ) for the survival of these hatchlings.
The hatchlings are born at night and automatically head for the brightest thing they can see.
Because it reflects light, water is brighter than land. Under ( 2 ) conditions, therefore,
the hatchlings move straight to the sea. Nowadays, however, more and more electric lights
are being used near beaches, and so the hatchlings often move toward streetlights or houses
instead of the sea. As a result, many of them weaken and die or are killed by cars on nearby
roads.
Artificial lights can also affect the mother turtles.
Like hatchlings, females
attempting to return to the sea after laying their eggs can become ( 3 ) and start traveling
in the wrong direction.
In order to solve this problem, Sarasota County has started a program to control the amount
of artificial light. The program has two aims. One is to lessen the amount of ( 4 )
lighting by turning off streetlights during the nesting and hatching season. The other is to
educate people about other ways to help sea turtles. There are many things that can be
done by individuals. These include turning off beachfront lighting during the nesting and
hatching season, lowering the lights in their houses, and shutting curtains after dark.
The results have been ( 5 ). The darkened beaches have allowed both female and
hatchling sea turtles to return quickly and safely to the sea. Now, many other communities
in Florida have introduced their own sea turtle protection programs. Working together,
individuals and local governments can make a big difference in the sea turtles’ chances of
survival.
(1) ア. grateful
イ. famous
ウ. essential
エ. unnecessary
(2) ア. favorite
イ. artificial
ウ. natural
エ. uncomfortable
(3) ア. wounded
イ. confused
ウ. involved
エ. recommended
(4) ア. main
イ. similar
ウ. public
エ. efficient
(5) ア. puzzling
イ. relaxing
ウ. damaging エ. promising

コから選び、その記号を記しなさい。
A Man Who Changed the World
In October 2011, a man passed away at the age of 56. Newspapers and magazines around
the world changed their headlines and many TV stations interrupted their regular programs
to announce the story, something that usually happens only for a president or other political
leader. This man was neither of those. He was a charismatic American businessman who
revolutionized the way we think about and use personal computers, and his name was
Steven Paul “Steve” Jobs.
Though Steve would grow to be very well known, most people do not know that he was raised
by adoptive parents. He met his “birth parents”, but never referred to them as his “real
parents”. He was extremely close to his adoptive*1 father, who taught him how to work well
with his hands, and his adoptive mother, who taught him to read before he entered school.
He credits his adoptive parents with his success in school and in his later life. When Steve
Jobs became CEO*2 of Apple, he famously took only $1 a year for his salary. Of course he
owned 5 million Apple shares*3, as well as 138 million shares in Disney, so Forbes magazine
estimated his wealth at $8.3 billion in 2010, making him the 42nd wealthiest American.
Apple Inc. is what most people think of when they think of Steve Jobs. He and his partner,
Steve Wozniak, were co-founders of this now famous company in the 1970’s.
Jobs left
Apple in 1985 and began another computer company called NeXT. He also became involved
in a company called Pixar Animation, which produced such hit movies as Toy Story and
Wall-E. When Apple company bought NeXT, Jobs came back to the company he co-founded,
serving as a temporary CEO from 1997, then becoming permanent CEO from 2000, onwards,
leading the company in their production of the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
Steve Jobs was a perfectionist, and a demanding boss, but he succeeded in nearly everything
he did. One of his mottos was “Think Different” which became a catch-phrase for Apple’s
advertisements. Another motto was “Make it Great”. In September 2011, Steve Jobs was
ranked number 17 in a list of the World’s Most Powerful People. After he quit as Apple's
CEO because of his diagnosis*4 of cancer, Jobs was thought of as the Thomas Edison and
Henry Ford of his time. Like those great men, Jobs was a man whose ideas revolutionized
several fields. Computing, business, innovation, high-tech design, and animated movies
changed dramatically. Many people believe he changed the face of the modern world.
Dying at 56 years old is too young for anyone. For someone with so many new ideas to die at
such a young age makes us all wonder what he would have done had he lived longer. Our
7
hearts go out to his family, his wife, and the four children he left behind. At times, Steve
Jobs seemed to be able to see the future…and it seems unlikely that anyone will take his
place very soon.
【注】*1. adoptive 養子関係の
*3. share （企業の）株
*2. CEO 最高経営責任者
*4. diagnosis 診断結果
(1) TV programs were interrupted with the news of Steve Jobs’ death …
(2) He became the 42nd wealthiest man in America …
(3) Steve Jobs started a new company called NeXT…
(4) Many kinds of businesses were influenced by Steve Jobs…
(5) There is nobody who can replace Steve Jobs easily …
ア. because he was an important political leader.
イ. and quit NeXT in 1997.
ウ. because he owned a lot of shares in two companies.
エ. because he could “see” the future better than most people.
オ. so he resigned as CEO.
カ. because he changed the way people use computers.
キ. because his wife and children will miss him very much.
ク. after he left Apple in the mid ’80s.
ケ. so people compared him to other men who had changed the world.
コ. because he had a salary of $1 a year.
