■ 問題
第3問 次の問い(A~C)に答えよ。
C 次の会話は、「市の発展」をテーマとして、ある町で行われた住民による
話し合いでのやりとりの一部である。[ 32 ]~[ 34 ]に入れるのに最も適当な
ものを、それぞれ下の{1}~{4}のうちから一つずつ選べ。
Alice: The mayor has asked me to lead this meeting to discuss ways to
develop our town. Tom, how about beginning with you?
Tom: Sure. If a new factory is built here, more people will move to our
town. This would help local shops and restaurants because there would be
more customers. Also, some of our residents working in the next town could
find jobs here. Many people have complained about their long drive back
and forth to work. Working closer to home would improve their family life
by giving them more time to spend together.
Alice: Tom, are you saying that [ 32 ]?
{1} many of our residents prefer traveling to another town to work
{2} new businesses should do much more to increase their sales
{3} people in our town would benefit from a new workplace here
{4} working in the next town may make people's lives better
Tom: Yes, that's correct.
Carol: Well, I think it would be better to build a shopping mall. It would
be good for both customers and shop owners. When the new housing complex
is completed in the northeastern part of town, people living there would
be pleased with a nearby mall to shop at. Lots of my fellow merchants have
been wishing they could move to a new place. Such a mall would be a benefit
to shop owners because more people would visit their shops.
Rick: I agree. A mall would also be useful for people in other parts of
town because they could do all of their shopping at one place. It would
save everyone time, and families would enjoy their lives more. And the
highway exit is in the same area. So, not only would people in our town
shop at a mall built there but people from other towns would also have
easy access to it. That would increase our local businesses' profits.
Carol: Right. It would make family life here much better as well as bring
more customers to our town.
Alice: So, you both feel that a mall would help [ 33 ].
{1} bring money into our town to fix the highway
{2} develop downtown and the northeastern areas
{3} give rise to a lot of controversies and arguments
{4} improve our town's economy and convenience
Leslie: I don't think building a mall or opening a business is the only
way to help our economy grow. We should find ways of using the beauty of
nature, which our town is already famous for. It makes our town a nice
place for families to live in.
Ellen: I think so, too. We should try to develop without changing the
things that families living here and visitors enjoy. Using the beautiful
scenery of our town in more creative ways would encourage people to come
and live here. That would bring more money into our town.
Leslie: I completely agree. In the long run, our town will be hurt if its
natural surroundings are not preserved.
Alice: So, Leslie and Ellen are talking about the importance of maintaining
the natural features of our town. Well, from our discussion so far, it
seems everyone thinks, when developing our town, we should [ 34 ]. Let's
see if there are any other points we need to take into account.
{1} build a large shopping center
{2} consider residents' family lives
{3} increase the number of employees
{4} think of the natural environment
