■ 東京大学過去問１９９２年（５）

　次の英文を読み、以下の設問に答えよ。

　What is the most profound question that human beings can ask about themselves? It has to be, "Where do we come from?" That leads, of course, to the question, "Where does all life come from?" Don and I have both been interested in that question for many years.
　"Do you realize," said Don, "that nearly half the people in the United States don't believe in evolution?"
　"I know it's a big (1)figure," I said.
　"We consider ourselves a literate society. We think we're educated. We believe in science. We base our culture on technology. Technology is science; it's the practical ( 2 ) of it, to learn about the world and put that knowledge to work."
　"So, what's new about that?"
　"Nothing. What bothers me is that some people try (3)to make science selective. You can't do that. You can't accept one part of science because it brings you good things like electricity and penicillin, and throw away another part because it brings you (4)some ideas you don't like about the origin of life."
　"You're talking about Creationism."
　"I am. How can so many people in this country, supposedly brought up to think scientifically, believe in the ( 5 ) creation of life on earth? How can they believe that it all happened in a flash less than ten thousand years ago?"
　"Because it's in the Bible. A lot of people take the Bible ( 6 )."
　"Yes, but ---"
　"There are people in this country, people who have gone through high school and college, who think the earth is flat."
　"(7)Come on."
　"They do. There's an active Flat Earth Society here in the United States. They can find statements in the Bible (8)to back them up."
　"Well ---" Don drew a deep breath. "Somebody should do something about that."
