次の文を読み、以下の設問に答えよ。 Before the historic launching of Apollo Ⅺ on July 16, 1969, many reporters met with all three of the astronauts. But those who interviewed Neil Armstrong, the commander of the flight, emerged from (A)the experience puzzled and sometimes annoyed. Not that he had been unpleasant or impatient. Not at all. Talking to the press was part of an astronaut's job, just like flying T-38 jets to keep the reflexes sharp, or learning (B)what kind of snakes to eat if you were ever lost in Borneo. It was a duty, and Neil Armstrong was not the kind of man who neglected his duties. What was it, then that bothered the reporters? Here was their man, who soon would be the (C) human being to disturb the moon's dust --- or sink into it; our Hero, our Pride, our Explorer, the Pioneer of the Technological Age, ready to launch into space with all the dreams and fears of humanity: --- Mr.Armstrong, becoming an astronaut must have given you great joy? --- I was already a test pilot for NASA. To me it was (D) being transferred from one office to another. --- Do you mean you don't have a taste for adventure? --- For heaven's sake, I hate danger. Danger is the most annoying aspect of our job... How can a simple technological fact be turned into an adventure? --- But I suppose (E)you would be sorry not to go up? --- Yes, but I would not get sick about it. I don't understand those who get so anxious to be first. It's all nonsense, just romanticism (F) of our rational age. --- I know somebody who would go up even if he knew that he would not come back... --- He is a child, not an adult. I would not agree to go up if I thought I might not come back. Unless it were technically necessary. Testing a jet is dangerous but technically necessary. Dying in space or on the moon is not necessary, and so if I had to choose, I'd choose death while testing a jet. Wouldn't you? --- No, I'd choose to die on the moon; (G) I would have seen it... --- Nonsense! If it were a matter of staying there for a year or two, perhaps... no, no; it would be too high a price to pay. Because it is senseless! I'd better say goodbye now. I have to go into the centrifuge. --- I don't envy you, Mr.Armstrong. --- Yes, it is unpleasant. Perhaps the thing I hate most. But it is (H)... And so it went. No wonder (I)many reporters found him depressing. Besides, it seemed impossible to sell him to the public. How do you make a folk hero of a man who is unwilling to (J)play the part? （注） astronaut 宇宙飛行士 reflex 「反射神経」 transfer 配置転換する centrifuge 訓練用遠心装置 NASA 米国航空宇宙局 (A) 下線部(A)のthe experienceとは次のどれを指すか。その記号を記せ。 (ア) アポロ１１号の打ち上げ (イ) 宇宙飛行士としての訓練 (ウ) 打ち上げを報道したこと (エ) Armstrongへのインタビュー (オ) 他の二人の宇宙飛行士との会見 (B) 本文の趣旨を生かして下線部(B)をhow to ( )と書き換えるとすれば、その空所に補う１語は何が適当か。その１語を記せ。ただし、この下線部内の単語を用いてはならない。 (C) 空所(C)に補うのに最も適当な１語を記せ。 (D) 空所(D)に補うのに最も適当な単語を次の中から選ぶ、その記号を記せ。 (ア) finally (イ) happily (ウ) officially (エ) simply (オ) usually (E) 下線部(E)と同じ意味になるように下の英語の空所に補うべき３語を記せ。 you would be sorry ( ) ( ) ( ) not to go up (F) 空所(F)に補うのに最も適当な英語は次のどれか。その記号を記せ。 (ア) alien (イ) characteristic (ウ) despite (エ) suggestive (オ) unworthy (G) 空所(G)に補うのに最も適当なものを次の中から選び、その記号を記せ。 (ア) as it is (イ) at best (ウ) at least (エ) otherwise (オ) rather (H) 本文の趣旨に合うように、Armstrongの言葉の中から１語を選んで空所(H)に補うとすれば、何が最も適当か。その１語を記せ。 (I) 下線部(I)で書かれていることの理由として次のどれが最も適当か。その記号を記せ。 (ア) これからcentrifugeにはいらなければならないから (イ) 記者団の相手をすることは自分の仕事だと考えていないから (ウ) 話があまりにも理性的で、勇ましさや面白みに欠けるから (エ) 一般には理解しにくい技術的な話題に終始したから (オ) 月に行くことについて生命の危険を感じていたから (J) 下線部(J)とほぼ同じ内容になるように、本文の中にある表現（２語）を選んで次の英語の空所に補うとすれば、何が最も適当か。その２語を記せ。 act like a ( ) ( ) |
