第 4 問次の会話文を読み, 後の問い ( 問 1, 問 2) に答えなさい Liam : I hear you just got back from Vancouver, Rie. How was your trip? Rie : Fantastic. Our whole family really enjoyed it. And we had a great view of Mt. Fuji from the shinkansen on our way home. Liam :Cool. How was the weather in Vancouver? I know it rains a lot there. Rie : Believe it or not, the skies were sunny the whole time we were there. Liam :( 1 ) How about your hotel? What was it like? Rie : Great. It was right on the harbor, and we had a terrific view from our room. Liam :Really? Rie : Yes. We could see the boats in the harbor and the mountain in the distance. Liam :That sounds beautiful. How was the food? Rie : I enjoyed it, but I couldn t always finish my meals. The portions were so big! One night we ate dinner in the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. We could see the airport and Vancouver s industrial area in the distance. Liam : Speaking of industrial areas, I saw on TV that night tours of factory zones are popular in Japan these days. ( 2 ) I can t understand why anyone would want to pay to see ugly factory zones. Rie : Factory zones may look ugly in the daytime, but at night they re actually quite beautiful lights reflecting off the gleaming metal pipes, flames reaching up to the sky, clouds of steam. A friend and I took a bus tour of the industrial area of Shunan in Yamaguchi Prefecture last year. ( 3 ) Liam :I find that hard to believe. Who were the other people on the tour? Engineers? Rie : That s what you d expect, but actually the tours are popular with all kinds of people. It s not about industry. It s about beauty and about sights, sounds and smells that we can t experience in everyday life. Liam :Hmm. That doesn t sound so bad. Rie : There s a cruise in Shunan, too. You can see the industrial zone from Tokuyama Bay. I want to try that next. How about going with me? ( 4 ) Liam :Maybe you re right. OK, I ll give it a try. -8-

第 5 問次の英文を読み, 後の問い ( 問 1~ 問 7) に答えなさい Like few other institutions in American life, baseball, football, basketball, and hockey are a source of social glue and civic pride. From Yankee Stadium in New York to Candlestick Park in San Francisco, sports stadiums are the ⑴ cathedrals of our civil religion, public spaces that gather people *from different walks of life in rituals of loss and hope, profanity and prayer. But professional sports is not only a source of civic identity. It is also a ( A ). And in recent decades, the money in sports has been forcing out the community. It would be an exaggeration to say that ⑵ naming rights and corporate sponsorships have ruined the experience of supporting the home team. Still, changing the name of a civic landmark changes its meaning. This is one reason why Detroit fans mourned when Tiger Stadium, named for the team, gave way to Comerica Park, named for a bank. It s why Denver Broncos fans got angry when their beloved Mile High Stadium, which evoked a sense of place, was replaced by Invesco Field, which refers to a mutual fund company. Of course, sports stadiums are mainly places where people gather to watch athletic events. When fans go to the ballpark or arena, they don t go primarily for the sake of a civic experience. They go to see David Ortiz hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth, or to see Tom Brady throw a touchdown pass in the final seconds of the game. But the public character of the setting gives a civics lesson that we are all in this together, and that for a few hours, at least, we ( B ) a sense of place and civic pride. As stadiums become less like landmarks and more like billboards, their public character fades. So, ⑶ perhaps, do the social bonds and civic sentiments they inspire. The civics lessons of sports are destroyed even more powerfully by a trend that has accompanied the rise of corporate naming rights the *proliferation of luxury skyboxes. When I went to see the Minnesota Twins play in the mid-1960s, the difference in price between the most expensive seats and the cheapest ones was $2. In fact, for most of the twentieth century, ballparks were places where corporate executives sat side by side with blue-collar workers, where everyone waited in the ( C ) lines to buy hot dogs or beer, and where rich and poor alike got wet if it rained. In the last few decades, however, ⑷ this has changed. The *advent of skybox suites high above the field of play has separated the rich and the privileged from the common folk in the stands below. Although luxury boxes first appeared in the very modern Houston Astrodome in -10-
1965, the skybox trend began when the Dallas Cowboys installed luxury suites at Texas Stadium in the 1970s. Corporations paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to entertain executives and clients in elegant settings above the crowd. During the 1980s, more than a dozen teams followed the Cowboys lead, *cosseting well-heeled fans in glass-enclosed perches in the sky. In the late 1980s, *Congress ( D ) back on the tax deduction that corporations could claim for skybox expenses, but this did not *stem the demand for the climate-controlled retreats. 出典 [What Money Cant Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets (2013)Michael J.
