Salam Pax wrote a diary ( 2Ａ ) everyday life ( 2 Ｂ ) Baghdad ( 2Ｃ ) the war, and posted it on his web site. Pax’s online diary was a kind of web site known as a “blog.” Blogs, short for “web-logs,” are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing type of web site on the Internet. In 2003, there ( ) blogs on 3 the Internet, and the number was growing by tens of thousands a month.

Also, most blogs use special software or web sites which are specifically aimed at bloggers, so ( 4 ).

There is another kind of blogging, called “moblogging,” short for “mobile blogging.” Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Internet. In 2003, the first international mobloggers conference was held in Tokyo. The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted on the Internet a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student, and tearing up the student’s homework. Many people were shocked ( 7 ), and wanted phones with cameras to be banned from schools. Many people think that as blogs become more common, news reporting will rely less on big media companies, and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet. They think that then the news will be ( ( 8Ａ ) like a lecture, and 「READING ADVANTAGE 3」 （Casey Malarcher 著） 8 Ｂ ) like a conversation, 出典： where anyone can join in. ―2― 問1 空所（ 1 ア following イ were following ウ followed エ were followed 問2 空所（ ）に入る最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 2 Ａ ）～（ 2Ｃ ）について，次のア～エの単語を一つずつ空所に入 れると意味の通る英文ができる。その際使わないものを，ア～エから選べ。 ア during イ by ウ in エ about 問3 空所（ 3 ）に次のア～エの語句を並べ換えて意味の通る英文を作るとき， 3 番目に来るのはどれか，ア～エから選べ。 ア estimated イ several hundred thousand ウ were エ to be 問4 空所（ 4 ）に入る最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 ア you should learn how to use a special computer program イ you have to study hard to create your own blog and access it ウ you don’t need to be a computer expert to create your own blog エ you had better not use special software or web sites 問5 空所（ 5 Ａ ）と（ 5Ｂ ）に共通して入る最も適切なものをア～エから選 べ。 ア where イ which ウ how エ when ―3― 問6 空所（ 6 Ａ ）と（ 6Ｂ ）に入る組み合わせとして最も適切なものをア～ エから選べ。選択肢は，左から（ ア (enters) ― (makes) イ (makes) ― (posts) ウ (finds) ― (surfs) エ (surfs) ― (posts) 問7 空所（ 7 6Ａ ）―（ 6Ｂ ）の順になっている。 ）に入る最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 ア of the incident on the Internet posting a video by the student イ by the student posting a video of the incident on the Internet ウ of the incident posting a video by the student on the Internet エ by the student of the incident on the Internet posting a video 問8 空所（ 8 Ａ ）と（ 8Ｂ ）に入る組み合わせとして最も適切なものをア～ エから選べ。選択肢は，左から（ ア (more) ― (less) イ (more) ― (more) ウ (less) ― (more) エ (less) ― (less) 問9 8Ａ ）―（ 8Ｂ ）の順になっている。 次の問いに対する答えとして最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 What is this passage mainly about? ア new types of media イ the war in Iraq ウ the history of the Internet エ the increase in popularity of computers 問10 次の問いに対する答えとして最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 Which statement about Salam Pax is true? ア He works for CNN. イ He lives in an ally country. ウ He used a mobile phone for his blog. エ Salam Pax is not his real name. ―4― 問11 次の問いに対する答えとして最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 To start your own blog, what do you need most? ア access to the Internet イ special software ウ an AOL account エ training as a journalist 問12 次の問いに対する答えとして最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 What is the most significant difference between blogs and traditional web sites? ア Blogs are updated much more often. イ Blogs use cheap software. ウ Blogs contain links to other web sites. エ Blogs use the same information every day. 問13 次の問いに対する答えとして最も適切なものをア～エから選べ。 According to the passage, which statement about the future is most likely? ア everyone will be able to have a blog on a personal web site. イ people will be able to keep up with the news from alternative points of view. ウ large media companies will go bankrupt and disappear. エ blogging technology will be banned by schools in many countries. ―5― 第2問 次の英文を読んで，各問い（問 1 ～問13）の答えとして最も適切なものを， それぞれア～エ（オ）から一つずつ選んで，記号で答えよ。 From 1950 to 1980, the so-called “Green Revolution” swept the world. World food production doubled with the introduction of a new approach to agriculture. It involved the large-scale cultivation of new types of grain (wheat, corn, and rice), and the extensive use of chemicals and farm machinery. These features were the cause of the early, enormous success of this “revolution.” ( 1 ), the “Green Revolution” methods no longer appear to be so successful. Though the population continues to grow, food production has failed to keep up with it. There are a number of reasons ( expense ( 2 Ａ ) this. One reason lies ( 2Ｂ ) the 2 Ｃ ) the new farming methods. The new kinds of grain produce much more than traditional grains, but only under certain conditions. In order to get maximum production, farmers must use large amounts of expensive chemical fertilizers. They also need to use expensive chemical insecticides since the new grains are more easily damaged by insects. Expensive watering systems are also necessary for these grains, especially in drier areas. Many farmers cannot afford to buy all the chemicals and ( 3 ). Erosion is another reason for the lower grain production. The large-scale farming （この部分につきましては，著作権の問題により，公開できません） of a single crop creates the perfect conditions for erosion. In dry areas, especially, the loss of top soil has lowered the productivity of the land. In these areas, also, grain production has been limited by the lack of water. The new types of grain, in fact, ( 4 ). Yet another reason for lower production lies in the nature of the chemicals that farmers have used. Though these fertilizers and pesticides raise production levels at first, they must be used in increasing amounts after that. Many farmers cannot afford to buy more, and so production decreases. These chemicals have other effects that are expensive in the long run. They flow into the ground water, causing pollution and health problems. As people learn about these problems, they put pressure on farmers to further limit their use of chemicals. Finally, the Green Revolution has brought about social and political conflict that has interfered with food production. The problem lies in the cost of the new agricultural methods. Only the larger landowners can afford to make the necessary investments for maximum production of the new grains. With their profits, the large landowners then buy land from the smaller farmers. This way, the large landowners become ever richer and the number of landless poor people increases. Social tensions naturally increase in this situation. Clearly, it is time to ( 5 Ａ ) the methods of the Green Revolution.
