次の文章、図及び表を読み、下の問い（Ａ・Ｂ）に答えよ。(第４問 配点27) Can we get a better understanding of a situation if we create clear images of it in our mind? In order to find an answer to this question, a psychologist asked three groups of children to solve two problems, each containing some“trick”. One was the alarm clock problem and the other was the high tide problem. （ a ） The alarm clock problem:“At 8 p.m., John set his old-style alarm clock to wake him up at 9 o'clock the next morning. Then he slept until the alarm rang. How many hours did John sleep?” （People usually answer“Thirteen hours”, because they do not realize that the alarm will ring at 9 p.m. The answer, of course, is“One hour”.） （ b ）The high tide problem:“A ladder with six steps was hanging from a boat above the calm sea. The distance between the surface of the sea and the lowest step was 10 cm, and the distance between each step was 30 cm. At high tide, the sea level rose 80 cm. How many steps were above the sea at high tide?” （People tend to answer“Three steps”, because they think that the boat stays where it is while the sea level rises along its sides. However, the tide lifts the boat, so the whole ladder is always above water. The answer, therefore, is“Six steps”.） The groups were each made up of 35 children aged 13-14, chosen at random. The three groups, the“Words”group, the“Picture”group and the“Imagination”group, were each given problems（ a ）and（ b ）in the following ways and were asked to solve them. The“Words”group received an envelope containing only the problems. The“Picture”group received an envelope containing the problems together with the pictures shown below（Picture 1 and Picture 2）. The“Imagination”group got an envelope containing the problems and also instructions to imagine the two situations as clearly as possible. The number of correct and incorrect answers for each question is shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

The number of correct answers was greater in the“Imagination”group than the other two groups for（ ）. １ the alarm clock problem but not the high tide problem ２ the high tide problem but not the alarm clock problem ３ both the alarm clock problem and the high tide problem ４ neither the alarm clock problem nor the high tide problem
In the high tide problem, the correct answers achieved with the help of imagination were （ ） those achieved with the help of a picture. １ twice as many as ２ three times as many as ３ half the number of ４ a quarter the number of

What seems to be the trouble?Tsuyoshi : Well, Dr. Mack, I've been having a terrible toothache. It wasn't too bad at first, but the last couple of nights I've had trouble sleeping because of it.Dr. Mack : I see. And when did this begin?Tsuyoshi : Oh, about a week ago. I first noticed it when I was eating some ice cream.Dr. Mack : Oh, so you have a sweet tooth?Tsuyoshi : Sorry...what do you mean?Dr. Mack : Well, a person with a“sweet tooth”loves desserts and sweet snacks. A lot of my patients are like that.Tsuyoshi : Yeah, that's me all right. （ １ ）, I was enjoying the ice cream and suddenly felt a very sharp pain in one of my back teeth.Dr. Mack : OK, we'd better have a look. Open wide, please...mmm...is this the tooth, Tsuyoshi?Tsuyoshi : Ahhh! Yes!Dr. Mack : Yes, well, you seem to have a problem with one of your wisdom teeth.Tsuyoshi : Wisdom teeth?Dr. Mack : Yes, you see, you've got three large teeth on each side at the back of your mouth. The last of these three, which are also the last to grow, are called wisdom teeth.Tsuyoshi : Oh...well, what's the problem?Dr. Mack : I'm afraid you have a fairly large cavity.Tsuyoshi : A ca...cavity?Dr. Mack : Yes, a cavity is simply a hole in a tooth caused by decay or damage. I think it would be best if we put a filing in right away.Tsuyoshi : I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by a“filling”.Dr. Mack : Well, since you have a cavity, we need to fill it up with something. It looks like you've got a few silver fillings in your teeth already.Tsuyoshi : Oh, yeah, I guess I do. But my dentist in Japan usually treated my tooth several times before filling it.Dr. Mack : （ ２ ）, I see no need for that. It's a wide cavity, but not too deep─it doesn't seem to have affected the root of the tooth. I can put a filling in today and that should take care of the problem.Tsuyoshi : OK, the sooner the better, Dr. Mack. This pain is awful!Dr. Mack : （ ３ ）,Tsuyoshi. But in the future, you've got to learn to control that sweet tooth of yours. Try to cut back on the desserts and snacks, OK?Tsuyoshi : I'll sure try, Dr. Mack. But it might be“mission impossible”!Ａ 空欄（ １ ）〜（ ３ ）に入れるべき三つの語または語句が、順不同で、次のＡ〜Ｃに示されている。 意味の通る会話にするのに最も適した配列を、下の１〜４のうちから一つ選べ。 Ａ. All right Ｂ. Anyway Ｃ.

次の文章を読み、下の問い（Ａ・Ｂ）に答えよ。(第６問 配点53) Old Fred Ford had gone to live with his daughter, Kate, and her family shortly after his wife, Mary, died. Kate was an energetic woman who expected people always to be doing something, and she found plenty of jobs for Fred to do. This made him feel part of the household, but now he really wanted to be able to sit and reflect on the events of his life. If he had continued to live alone, he would have had the time to do this to his heart's content. One afternoon he felt he simply had to get away from the house. “I'm going for a walk,”he said, closing the door behind him. Leaving the town, he walked across the fields and followed a slow-moving stream toward the hills. After a while he came to a pool in the stream under some trees. Here, he thought, was a place he could come to when he needed to reflect on the past. Although the stream seemed unlikely to have any fish, he would simply tell Kate he had found a place to go fishing. When he mentioned the stream that night, his son-in-law, Jim, said in disbelief, “There aren't any fish there. That stream runs dry half the summer.” The old man pretended to be surprised. “You don't say! Well, I'll give it a try, anyway.” The next day he dug his old fishing rod out of the garage. It reminded him of the last time he had gone fishing, eight years back, with Mary. When he stopped to buy a fishing license and some equipment at the store and mentioned the little stream, the owner looked surprised. “No fish in that. If you want my advice, drive down to Lake Henshaw.” Fred thanked him, said something about trying the lake sometime, left the store, and made his way to the pool. No one else was there; it was just as he had left it. He found a comfortable place to sit, set up the rod and relaxed. During the following months he came to this spot frequently. Kate complained that it was a waste of time:“If only he'd bring some fish home sometimes!” The men at the gas station would call out in a friendly way,“Come to Lake Henshaw with us sometime. We'll show you how to catch some real fish!” Sometimes boys on bicycles would pause to watch him and he would overhear their judgement:“He must be crazy.” But he didn't let these comments spoil his visits to this quiet place, where he would sit gazing at the sky, the water, or the hills, almost motionless, remembering the richness of his life. He found contentment beside the slow-moving water, which, like himself, had left the steep, rocky days far behind. One day old Fred felt the rod jerk. Instantly wide awake, he saw a large trout jump from the water trying to shake itself free. His heart beating fast, he began to play the fish with all his former skill. Slowly it weakened, and finally he managed to bring it onto the bank where he stood looking victoriously at the beautiful trout. It was like honey in his mouth to imagine what Kate and all the others would say when they saw such a fine trout. Then he realized word would soon get around and all those who had thought him foolish would invade his privacy, pole in hand, and fill it with the noise of feet and voices. No, he decided, his moment of sweet victory would not be worth that price. He reached down to the fish and removed the hook. The fish floated slowly away with the stream, then disappeared into the depths. Then, with a quiet smile, the old man made ready to start for home.Ａ 次の問い（ 問１〜５ ）に対する答えとして最も適当なものを、それぞれ下の１〜４のうちから一つずつ選べ。問１ Why did Fred leave the house and go for a walk one afternoon? １ He didn't want to stay alone in the house. ２ He thought he would like to try fishing again. ３ He wanted a chance to be alone and think quietly. ４ He was keen to explore the hills outside the town.
What did Fred find when he went for a walk one afternoon? １ He found a pleasant spot to spend his time as he wished. ２ He found a pool which appeared to have good fish in it. ３ He found a stream which had dried up because it was summer. ４ He found the place where the townspeople liked to go fishing.
Why did Fred tell Kate that he had found a place to go fishing？ １ He didn't feel part of the household with Kate and Jim. ２ He enjoyed fishing very much and was glad to be able to do it again. ３ He wanted a way to leave the house without hurting Kate's feelings. ４ He was bored in the house because there were few things to do.
What did Fred do in the months that followed? １ He convinced Kate that the stream was a good place for catching fish. ２ He let the men at the gas station show him how to fish more successfully. ３ He tried other streams nearby, looking for a better place to fish. ４ He visited the pool many times and made it appear that he was fishing.
Why did Fred smile as he set off for home? １ He was looking forward to having a delicious trout for dinner. ２ His daughter's family would praise him for catching such a fine fish. ３ The people who had teased him would have to apologize to him. ４ The pool he liked so much was going to remain quiet and undisturbed.
