英語 ( 工 経営情報 国際関係 人文 応用生物 生命健康科 現代教育学部 ) ( 解答番号 1 ~ 40 ) 1 次の文章を読み, 下の設問に答えよ Israel Kamakawiwo ole was perhaps one of the most famous musicians ever produced by the American state of Hawaii, and a tireless campaigner for the rights of native Hawaiians and Hawaiian independence. Bruddah Iz, as he called himself on stage, was born in Honolulu in 1959, and was surrounded by music from the time he was born. This music was played by many Hawaiian musicians, both traditional and famous, who frequented the establishment where his parents worked. One of his uncles was one of the most important Hawaiian musicians of the time. Israel began playing music at the age of 11 with his older brother and a cousin, and continued to play even after his brother entered the army and his cousin moved to the mainland United tates. The band he started with his brother was unusual at the time, combining traditional and modern sounds, and often singing in the Hawaiian language most music produced and performed in the early 1970s in Hawaii had little in common with traditional Hawaiian music. Israel always wanted to make music that honored the language and traditions of his people, and worked hard to keep the old musical ways in the music he wrote and performed. After his brother died of a heart attack at age 28 in 1982, Israel continued recording with the band they had formed together, before beginning his solo career in 1990. His 1993 album Facing Future catapulted him to success locally and internationally, becoming the first album recorded in Hawaii to sell more than one million copies in the United tates, and remains the best-selling Hawaiian album of all time. Kamakawiwo ole used his music and his popularity to spread the messages of Hawaiian rights and Hawaiian independence. Many of his most popular songs lament the second-class status of native Hawaiians in that state, singing about their poor treatment and the loss of their traditions and culture. Also, he celebrated strong Hawaiian historical figures such as King Kamehameha the third and his resistance to British rule of the islands in the 19th century. Israel believed strongly that the rule of the islands by white people, and the tourist industry in particular, had done massive harm to the native Hawaiian people and their culture, and he worked tirelessly to inspire pride in their culture among young Hawaiians. 532 19
Bruddah Iz struggled with health issues his whole life, and faced a number of health problems related to his weight. At one point he weighed as much as 343 kilograms, and was hospitalized a number of times because of his size. He died at the young age of 38 in 1997, and was shown enormous respect by the people of Hawaii at his passing. The Hawaiian flag was flown at half staff on the day of his funeral, and he was laid in state in the state capitol building in Honolulu, an honor that has only been given to two other people in the history of the state. About ten thousand people attended his funeral, and thousands attended the ceremony at which his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean. He was, and remains, a powerful symbol of pride for the native people of Hawaii, and he left the lasting legacy of his music for them. 設問 本文の内容と一致するように, 次の空欄 ( 1 ~ 10 ) に入れるのに最も適当なものを, それぞれ下のア ~ エのうちから一つずつ選べ Israel Kamakawiwo ole was first exposed to music 1. ア at school イ as an adult ウ through his community エ beginning at age 11 The band Kamakawiwo ole started with his brother was unusual because 2. ア they sang in the Hawaiian language イ he and his brother were very young ウ it was very successful エ they played mostly modern music We can infer that 3 in Hawaii in the 1970s. ア very little music was made イ Israel was an unusual name ウ many native Hawaiians formed bands エ bands using traditional Hawaiian sounds were rare Israel Kamakawiwo ole started his solo career 4. ア in 1990 イ at the age of 28 ウ when his brother died エ in 1993 533 20
