[取り除いた方がよい文]が一つある。取り除く文として最も適当なものを、
それぞれ下線部{1}~{4}のうちから一つずつ選べ。
問1[ 27 ]
When you encounter unfamiliar things in a new environment, you may
experience culture shock even in your own country. When Tsubasa started
college life away from his family, everything seemed exciting and new to
him, but then he began to feel unexpected anxiety about his surroundings.
{1}[He realized people sometimes misunderstood him because of his regional
accent and expressions.] {2}[He knew that his parents missed him very much
because he was their only child.] {3}[He also noticed many of his
classmates had learned various things in high school that he had never
even heard of.] Everyone seemed smarter, more mature, and even more
fashionable than he was. {4}[He was afraid he was already too far behind
in everything.] However, it turned out that most of the other students had
more or less the same feelings of anxiety he had. Now, he enjoys studying
at college without such feelings.
問2[ 28 ]
Is the tomato a vegetable or a fruit? There was a U.S. court case on this
issue in the 1980s. At the time, people had to pay taxes for importing
vegetables, but not for importing fruits. Biologically, fruits develop
from a part in the base of a flower and contain seeds. {1}[According to
this scientific definition, tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, pumpkins, and
green peppers, are fruits. {2}[Contrary to what science says, most people
consider the tomato a vegetable and use it as a vegetable.] {3}[For
example, in some countries the tomato has been given names such as
"golden apple" and "love apple."] {4}[Tomatoes are eaten cooked or raw as
many vegetables are and not traditionally served for dessert like fruits.]
The court concluded that the tomato was a vegetable based on the simple
fact that most people considered it a vegetable.
問3[ 29 ]
In response to the problem of the world's growing demand for animal
protein, a conference was held to discuss the various benefits of using
insects as an alternative source of food to pigs, chickens, and cows.
{1}[It isn't well known, but insects are an extremely healthy food as they
are full of protein, vitamins, and minerals.] {2}[Insects have been around
for million of years, living with the dinosaurs and then very early human
beings.] {3}[Raising insects can be environmentally friendly as they
neither take up much space, eat much food, nor release much greenhouse gas.]
{4}[Most are able to survive with little water, making them an ideal
alternative food for locations with severe water shortages.] The evidence
shows that there are many benefits of using insects as food. It just may
take time to change people's minds about eating them.
