Ⅲ. 次の英文を読み、下の問いに答えなさい。
In 2013, when New York’s Grand Central Terminal celebrated its 100th birthday,
a magazine called it, “America’s loveliest train station.” Although it is also one
of the oldest, it is still one of America’s most popular tourist destinations, and
one of New York City’s most famous buildings. Probably you have seen it in
movies such as “Men in Black,” “Superman,” or “Madagascar.”
Grand Central Terminal(GCT)is in the middle of Manhattan, and on a normal
[ many / an / people / as / a /
day, over 750,000 people go through it. As ア
thousand / hour ]visit the information desk in the main hall. It is so busy
that some people believe if you stay there for a long time, you will see every
person you have ever known!
When you have this many people coming and going, it is easy to imagine that
many things are lost.
In fact, more than 2,000 things are found in the
station every month.
In an average year, for example, 3,000 coats and
jackets, 2,500 cellphones, and 2,000 sets of keys are handed to staff. They
even had a cat and a canoe!
While many people visit GCT to catch a train, of course, many other people
visit for different reasons.
Because it was built before car and air travel
became popular, they come to enjoy the art and style of the wonderful old
building.
The world’s largest Tiffany clock is next to the information desk,
and it is four meters tall. The ceiling above the clock is painted to look like
the night sky, with 2,500 shining stars.
The station also has many secret places: tennis courts, apartments, and a
hidden *basement called
イ M-42.
M-42 is not just the deepest and biggest,
but it is also the most secret basement in the city. In M-42, there is a power

Some plans were made to destroy GCT in the 1960s, but a lot of people
disagreed, and finally New Yorkers decided to save it.
In 1976, the U.S.
government made GCT a *National Historic Landmark.
This helped all
Americans not only to remember its importance but also to think about the
need to protect it.
Years later, they made more changes to GCT, and opened some unique shops
and restaurants.
(

, special events began to be held frequently,
and about 20 million visitors from all over the world come and enjoy all of
these attractions every year! It is clear that GCT has become more than just
a station; it is a
カ venue.
Grand Central Terminal was once in danger of being
destroyed; fortunately, however, it continues to give joy to both the train
users and countless sightseers in Manhattan.
Notes: *basement = 地下室
*National Historic Landmark = アメリカ合衆国国定歴史建造物

ⅠⅤ. 次の英文を読み、下の問いに記号で答えなさい。
Recently, people all over the world have become interested in Japanese pop
culture.
The Japanese government has called it “Cool Japan,” to try to
increase the cultural value of Japan, and to bring more money into the
country. For example, the government tries to sell Japanese things abroad, it
invites foreign tourists and companies into Japan, and it promotes “creative
*industries” such as design, movies, stage art, fashion, toys, and video
games in Japan.
For this purpose, in January 2012, *the Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry started a website called “Cool Japan Daily” to
share information across Japan and the whole world.
The idea, however, is not new. In the past, there were many people from
other countries who were deeply interested in traditional Japanese culture.
At the beginning of the Meiji period, the Japanese government created a new
plan in order to build a modern country and make Japanese industries and
international trade more important. The government invited many teachers
from abroad, and some of them are still well known today. William Smith
Clark was a Christian teacher and scientist who taught botany(the study of
plants)and zoology(the study of animals)in a farming college in Sapporo.
When he left Japan, he gave a speech and shouted his well-known words,
“Boys, be ambitious.” People like Clark helped Japan to become a modern
country in various ways. Many of them loved Japan, and introduced Japanese
culture in their home countries.
Edward S. Morse was another one of the teachers.
He was invited to a
university in Tokyo as a teacher of zoology, and came to Japan in 1877. One
day that year, he was taking a train from Yokohama to Shimbashi for a
meeting with somebody from the government. On the way, he noticed lots
of *shells in the ground. It was the place we now know as Omori Shell Mound,
a site of old houses and things from the Jomon period in Omori, Tokyo.
Because of this important discovery, he is also known as the(1)
father of
Japanese archaeology, the study of the culture of the past.
While he was in Japan, Japanese people’s kindness and friendship had a big
impact on him and made him even more interested in Japanese culture. He
wrote a book about Japanese homes. In this book, with his own drawings, he
introduced things from the ordinary lifestyles of Japanese people, such as
9
Japanese houses, bonsai in Japanese gardens, and tools to build houses. He
also began collecting a wide variety of Japanese arts and crafts, including
tools used in daily lives, children’s toys, and valuable pieces of *pottery.
Over 5,000 pieces of this pottery taken to the United States by Morse are
now a popular part of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
After his return to his country, Morse started giving talks on Japanese culture.
These talks impressed people in the United States such as Ernest Fenollosa.
At that time, Fenollosa was not a specialist in Japanese culture, but after he
lived in Japan, he became interested in Japanese culture and started studying
Japanese art. Thanks to Morse, Fenollosa was also invited by the Japanese
government to teach economics and politics at the same university as Morse.
In Japan, Fenollosa liked visiting old temples and shrines, such as those in
Kyoto and Nara. He was truly impressed by the art treasures he saw.
The Japanese government asked him to study old temples, shrines, and their
art treasures with one of his students, Okakura Tenshin.
Together, they
made new rules to protect national treasures. In fact, Fenollosa started the
idea of today’s “national treasures” and made the first list of them. He also
helped his student, Okakura, to start the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, the first
public art school in Japan. In 1890, he returned to the US and began to work
for the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. As the director of East Asian Art, he
wrote books and gave talks about traditional Japanese art.
The Japanese art collections which impressed Morse and Fenollosa over 100
years ago still impress many people who visit the Museum of Fine Arts in
Boston.
Visitors buy postcards, T-shirts, and cups with Ogata Korin’s
Japanese flowers or Katsushika Hokusai’s ukiyoe paintings of Mt. Fuji at the
museum shops. Some of them even come to Japan to climb Mt. Fuji.
In both the past and more recently, people around the world visit Japan to
find out more about “Cool Japan.”
It teaches us that for many countries
culture plays a necessary role in building a stronger economy.
Notes: *industry = 産業
*the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry = 経済産業省
*shell = 貝殻
*pottery = 陶器
