Ⅲ. 次の英文を読み、下の問いに答えなさい。
More than seven billion people live in the world today. Big cities like Tokyo,
London, and New York are busy and crowded, and there are people
everywhere. However, there is a continent called Antarctica in the far south
of the Earth; ア
［ as / it / as / twice / big / is / almost ］Australia, and nobody
really lives there. In fact, it is not even possible for people to live there for a
long time. Every year, between 1,000 and 5,000 scientists visit Antarctica to
do research, but they can only stay for a short time. It is
イ tough
to live in
Antarctica for a number of reasons.
The biggest problem is that Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth, and about
98% is covered in ice.
The lowest ever temperature there was
89.2̊C.
Because of this, very few plants or animals can survive there, and people
need to use boats to bring food and other
ウ supplies.
This is interesting,
because research in 2012 showed that Antarctica used to be a very different
place.
Scientists believe that around 50 million years ago Antarctica was
warm, that it was covered in rainforests, and that many different kinds of
animals lived there.
（
エ
） problem is that there are many dangers in Antarctica.
For
example, in summer it is much warmer, and the ice can melt and break. This
means that it is difficult to walk, and therefore traveling in the summer in
Antarctica is very dangerous. Also, the light from the sun is very strong, so
people must protect themselves by covering their skin and wearing dark
sunglasses.
However, some people have an interest in Antarctica. Scientists go to study
penguins, fish, whales, global warming, the sun, and even the human body!
The American space agency NASA also does research in Antarctica, because
in some ways it has similar conditions to space.
Also, in summer, many tourists visit Antarctica by boat to see the wonderful
views and wild animals. It is usually an expensive trip, but most visitors say

people say that it is the most difficult race in the world, but many runners go
back every year.
The governments of many countries are also interested in Antarctica, as they
believe there may be a lot of oil.
The governments of France, the UK,
Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina all say that different
parts of Antarctica are theirs.
In 1959, an international law called

ⅠⅤ. 次の英文を読み、下の問いにすべて記号で答えなさい。
Last year, in July of 2014, when Beryl Atieno was 14 years old, she and a
group of other teenagers were excited. They were looking at a 747 airplane
at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. “Wow,” she said. “It’s so big!” For
Beryl, everything was（
1
）
: the machine that checked her passport, the
one that checked the weight of her bag, even the escalator. In fact, she said
she almost fell on the escalator.
Beryl and the others were at the airport because of a jump-rope. They were
members of Kenya’s first and only rope-jumping team. On that day in July,
they were leaving for the World Jump Rope Championship, a yearly
*competition in Orlando, Florida, in the United States.
More than 500
athletes from 15 countries were taking part in several events, such as speed,
technique, and style. At the competitions, jumpers always jump on a hard
floor, but Beryl’s group jumped on a hard floor for the first time only one
month earlier. In Kibera, their hometown, they always jumped on the soft
ground.
Competitive jumping was introduced to Kenya four years ago by an American
named Michael Fry. Fry has taken part in six world championships and has
won many gold medals. In 2009, when he was still a university student, he
started a group called One World One Rope. He hoped to bring competitive
jumping to East Africa, and asked for help from Carolina for Kibera, a group
that runs youth sports programs and other services in Kibera, one of the
largest slums in all of Africa. In Kibera, there are no hospitals; the water isn’t
very clean; 80% of houses have no electricity, and most have no toilet; almost
half of all adults do not have a job. Fry wanted to do something to help.
Fry, now 29 years old, began to visit schools.
He always began with a
jump-rope demonstration, and then gave the ropes to the kids to try. He
remembered the fastest and most interested students, and asked them to
practice with him after school.
Beryl was one of the first people to begin
practicing with Fry in 2011. It was her first time to jump rope, and she was
9
impressed by Fry’s amazing jumping, especially his trick called the mamba.
In this trick, the jumper lets go of one side of the rope and then catches it
again, but continues to jump at the same time. Beryl asked Fry to teach her
the trick, and after a month of practicing, she was able to do the mamba
herself.
When Beryl started jumping, her family wondered why she was using her
afternoons practicing with Fry. “She did not have time to help me cook or
wash dishes,” says her mother. “She did not have time to work part-time.”
The World Bank says that 46% of Kenya’s 45 million people live on under
¥100 a day. It’s the same for Beryl’s family, so the money from a part-time
job could help her family. She lives with her mother, brother, and sister in a
small one-room house, and until a few years ago, Beryl and her family also
had no electricity.
Her mother allowed her to continue jumping rope, and it has changed Beryl
in many ways. She now has the women’s East African record for most jumps
（86 jumps）in 30 seconds. She is proud of this, but now hopes to challenge
the world record of 102 jumps in 30 seconds. She has become best friends
with a teammate, Christine Juma, and the girls now like to talk together
about their future. Beryl started watching the news on television every night
after her family finally got electricity, and now she wants to go to university
to become a journalist.
Christine is two years older than Beryl, and she
dreams of becoming one of Kenya’s first woman leaders.
Fry’s work has slowly started to（
2
）many people other than Beryl and
Christine. In 2010, he started a jump-rope competition for the teams in East
African countries.
In the first year, about thirty jumpers joined; in 2013,
nearly 100 took part. Fry strongly believes that jumping has a good effect on
health, and that it can bring social change. He feels that the sport teaches
focus and teamwork, and it only needs a piece of rope and a little space. It
is especially good for people who don’t have much money, he says. Other
jumpers have told Fry that they hope to become teachers or doctors, or that
they want to work to make things in Kibera better.

At the airport on that day in July, her mother gave Beryl a goodbye hug, and
wished her good luck. Then the whole team, dressed in green, red and black
uniforms – the colors of Kenya’s flag – walked inside. They got on the plane
and went up in the air. Thanks to jumping rope,（
