　（ * 印の付いている単語・語句には，本文のあとに〔注〕がある。）

Shota, Kumi and Kevin, a boy from New York, are classmates.　Kevin came to their high

school last April to learn a lot of things about Japan.　He is interested in Japanese culture.

One day he got an *envelope from the school office.　There was a green mark on it and he

wanted to know more about it.　So he showed the envelope with the mark to Shota and Kumi.

Kevin: Just have a look at this.　What’s this mark?

Kumi: Ah, it’s the symbol of Tokyo.

Kevin: Oh, I see.　It’s Tokyo’s symbol.　Now I remember.　I often see it, for example, on the

buses, on the *subway trains . . . .

Kumi: And also on the *manhole covers.　Did you know(1)

that?Shota: Really?　I’ve never seen any manhole covers with this symbol.

Kevin: I haven’t, either.　I want to see one with the symbol.

Shota: If you keep looking down, you will get into trouble.

Kevin: But why does it have this *shape?　What does it mean?Kumi: I believe it is a *leaf of icho.　How do you say icho in English, Shota?Shota: Sorry, I don’t know.　Let’s see the dictionary.　Let me see . . . here it is.　It is called

“gingko” in English.

Kevin: Ah, gingko!　Yes, I see many gingko trees in Tokyo.　The fresh green ( 3-a ) were

really beautiful in early summer.　Weren’t they?

Kumi: Yes.　There is a street near my house and a lot of gingko trees stand *in a row along

it.　The green ( 3-a ) look so fresh and beautiful every year.　In fall they turn yellow

and *shine *beautifully in the sun.　I love that bright color.

Kevin: So this big city chose the gingko leaf as its symbol.

Shota: Wait a minute.　I think I heard another story about this green symbol.　Yes, this

symbol looks like a gingko leaf, but you see, it also looks like an English *letter.

Kevin: Hm. . .well . . . it looks like . . . the letter T.

Shota: Right!　I have heard that this mark is the T of Tokyo.

Kevin: Wow, that’s interesting!　It is T and looks like a gingko leaf at the same time.　It is a

good design.　When you see it, you think of Tokyo.

Kumi: So it’s the symbol.

Shota: Gingko is the tree of Tokyo, just like the cherry tree is the tree of

Japan.

Kevin: Ah, cherry trees!　Yes, when I see cherry blossoms, I will always remember Japan.

But of course, there are many other ( 3-b ) that *recall Japan.

Kumi: What are they?

Kevin: For example, Mt Fuji, Himeji Castle, kimonos, anime and comic books.　Ah, yes!　I

believe many anime characters are the symbols of Japan now.

Shota: I agree! They are popular in the world, too.

Kumi: Do you know any other interesting symbols?Shota: I think the symbol of the Olympic Games is also a good example.　Do you know what

those five rings *represent?Kumi: I believe the five rings show that people in different countries should be ( 3-c )

through sports.　People should have close *ties, just like those connected rings of the

symbol.

Kevin: Actually the rings represent the *union of five *continents ― Africa, North and South

America, Asia, Europe and *Oceania.

Shota: Maybe we can put our ( 3-d ) in a symbol, *although the world isn’t really like that.

Kumi: Ah, yes.　 The f ive rings, the symbol of the Olympic Games, *at

least show us the importance of peace in the world. Many people will think of working

toward(4)

that goal, when they see the symbol.

Kevin: Then maybe this gingko mark also shows our hopes.　Tokyo will have more and more

green trees in the future and become a nicer place to live.

Shota: A symbol can send a message to people without using ( 3-e ) .

Kumi: And people can understand what it means better!

　次の英文を読んで，あとの各問に答えなさい。

　（ * 印の付いている単語・語句には，本文のあとに〔注〕がある。）

I like to look at pictures, especially *Picasso’s works.　He was born in Spain in 1881

and became a famous *painter in the world.　I 　　　　 his works since I was a child.

When I have time to walk around, I often visit art museums.　One day I went to a museum

to see Picasso’s works. One of my favorite pictures was there and I enjoyed looking at it.　I

bought some picture cards for myself at the gift shop in the museum.　That night I had a strange

dream.

In the dream I was alone in a house by the sea.　I was looking out of the window.　The

sun was *setting over the sea.　I heard only the sound of the *waves.　Then I noticed a man.

He was walking along the beach.　He stopped and picked up a *stick on the beach and began

to draw something with it in the *sand.　I got my *binoculars and looked at the *drawing he

was making in the sand.　I was ( 2 ) .　It looked like one of Picasso’s pictures I looked at in

the museum.　Then I looked at the man’s face.　I was ( 2 ) again.　The man was Picasso!

After a while he finished drawing in the sand, smiled and walked away.

I knew the waves were coming.　I thought the waves would wash the drawing away soon.

I wanted to stop the waves. (3)

I wanted to keep the drawing forever.　I tried to(4)

(　a photo　/

for　/　look　/　my camera　/　of　/　take　/　the drawing　/　to　) , but there was no time.

I was not able to do anything, and the waves washed it away.

This is just a story from my 　　　　 .　But the story impressed me very much.　I

thought about the story again and again after I *woke up.　I couldn’t understand why he smiled

when he finished drawing.　He knew his drawing would disappear, but he kept drawing in the

sand *anyway. I wanted to keep looking at it forever, because it was a very exciting work of art

for a person who loved Picasso.

We know there is a *limit to everything, even art.　But sometimes we want to refuse to

believe it.　I still remember a chorus contest in my high school days, because it was an exciting

event.　We practiced a lot and my class performed very well.　When I was singing, I didn’t

want to stop that wonderful moment.　We didn’t get a *prize, but I was very happy, because I

really enjoyed the event.

When I found the performance would not *last forever, I could see more *clearly where the

importance of the performance really was.　When I was singing, I could feel the energy from

our voices. Even after the contest ended, the feeling was still with me.　Even now I feel happy

when I remember the contest.　I think the *process is important.　In my dream Picasso just

enjoyed drawing in the sand.　Maybe he didn’t *care about how the drawing was going to be

after he finished it.　I enjoyed looking at the drawing, too.　I cannot see the drawing any more,

but I can keep the moment in my mind forever.　The importance of art is in experiencing the

moment. (6)

Now I understand the meaning of Picasso’s smile.

　（ * 印の付いている単語・語句には，本文のあとに〔注〕がある。）

When Joseph was four, he *lost his way home during a walk with his dog Max.　He didn’t

know which way he should go at a corner on the street.　It was a fine day and he walked his

dog too far from home.　Then　　　　　　　　　in front of them.　“Hi, Joseph, what has

happened?　Have you lost your way home?　Take this bus,” Bill said from the driver’s window.

Bill was a bus driver in the town.　He lived near Joseph’s house.　So he knew Joseph.

Thanks to Bill, Joseph could arrive home with Max.　Both Joseph’s parents thanked Bill for his *kindness.　Later 　　 　　　　　　 to dinner at their home.　Then a few years passed.

Now Joseph was in the second grade at elementary school.　He went to school by bus, so

he met Bill every day.　They became good friends.　At school Joseph liked art class the best.

He was good at *carving wood.　His father was a *furniture maker and Joseph was able to see

his father at work.　So Joseph was very interested in carving wood.　He made a lot of different

dolls from wood and one of them was kept at the *entrance hall of the school.　Joseph was seen

as a *talented boy.

One day in October Joseph’s father said that Bill would *marry Kate soon.　Joseph didn’t

meet Kate often, but he knew　　　　　　　　　 of the bus company.　“That’s great news!”

Joseph thought.　His father said that he would give them a present to celebrate their *marriage.

Joseph also decided to make a present for them by himself.　It was *a couple of dolls, a *prince

and a *princess.　He wanted Bill and Kate to see his beautiful works.　He thought he would

have to hurry because of the *limited time of the *wedding day.

When　　　　　　　　　, Joseph always hurried home to start carving wood.　He knew

he had only a little time to make the two dolls, so he *was often absorbed in carving wood with

his *chisels at his desk.　At first both his parents didn’t know what their son was doing.　A few

days later, when the wood Joseph was carving began to *take shape, his parents learned that he

was making presents for Bill and Kate.　They were sure that their son would do a good job.

The two dolls Joseph was making looked more and more beautiful every day.

On the wedding day a lot of friends of Bill and Kate gathered around the church in the

small town.　Joseph, his parents and their dog Max were among them.　Joseph carefully held

the bag with the presents in it.　When the church *bell rang, Joseph began to feel excited.

He wanted Bill and Kate to see his(2)

( as / as / could / soon / they / works ) .

Then the door of the church opened and the couple came out.　All the people around them said,

“*Congratulations!”　Joseph ran to them and took the two dolls from the bag.　He showed the

dolls to Bill and Kate.　The two dolls really looked like the characters coming out of the story

Joseph liked the best.　All the people there were surprised to see the dolls, because the dolls

were very beautiful.　First Joseph gave the princess doll to Kate and said, “I hope you like it.”

“Of course!　It’s beautiful!　Joseph, you are very talented.　Thank you so much,” Kate said

with a smile.　She held the doll carefully in her arms.　Then Joseph gave the prince doll to Bill

and said, “Congratulations!　Here’s a present for you, too.”　Bill said, “Thank you, Joseph, my

little brother.”　Of course Joseph was not his 　　　　　　　, but he said so because he loved

Joseph.　Bill felt Joseph was like one of his best friends.　People smiled and *clapped their

hands one after another to celebrate Bill and Kate’s new life together.
