1 次は、高校生の広志 (Hiroshi)、アメリカから来たグリーン先生 (Mr. Green)、
インドネシアからの留学生のサリ (Sari) の3人が学校で交わした会話の一部です。
会話文を読んで、あとの問いに答えなさい。

Hiroshi: Hi, Mr. Green. I have a question for you.
Mr. Green: Hi, Hiroshi. What is your question?
Hiroshi: Yesterday, I [ ① ] for information on the Internet about fermented soybean food,
for example, natto.
Then, I found some interesting information.
According to Ⓐit, natto is one kind of fermented soybean food
and there are many other kinds of fermented soybean food in the world.
Are there any kinds of fermented soybean food in America?
       
Mr. Green: Well, natto is often sold in supermarkets in America,
but I’m not sure that other kinds of fermented soybean food are sold there.
However, I know that there are other kinds of fermented soybean food in Asia.
Hiroshi: Really? Why do you know that?
Mr. Green: Actually, when I visited Thailand three years ago,
I ate fermented soybean food made in Thailand.
I studied cultures of Asia at university,
and learned that some areas and countries in Asia have similar food.
They have a similar climate, and similar trees and plants,
so people there can make similar food.
       
Hiroshi: That sounds interesting.
You mean [   ②   ] , right?
Mr. Green: That’s right!
Hiroshi: Thank you, Mr. Green.
I will try to find information about fermented soybean food in Asia.
Mr. Green: I hope you’ll find something about it. Oh, Sari is there.
She is from Indonesia. Maybe she knows something.
[  ③  ] 
Hiroshi: Oh, yes! I’ll do so. Hi, Sari.
Sari: Hi, Hiroshi. Hi, Mr. Green.
Hiroshi: Sari, you’re from Indonesia, right?
I was talking with Mr. Green about fermented soybean food in the world.
In Indonesia, are there any kinds of fermented soybean food?
Sari: Yes. We have food called “tempeh.”
Hiroshi: Tempeh? Does it look like natto?
Sari: Well, tempeh and natto look very different.
[  ④  ] of tempeh now, I could show it to you.
Hiroshi: Oh, I’ve just found a picture on my tablet.
Look at this. The food in this picture looks like cake.
      
Mr. Green: Is this tempeh?
Sari: Yes, this is tempeh.
Tempeh and natto look different, right?
Tempeh isn’t sticky.
When I ate natto for the first time, I was surprised that natto was sticky!
Hiroshi: I’m surprised to know that tempeh isn’t sticky.
Mr. Green: I can understand how you felt, Sari.
I told Hiroshi that I ate fermented soybean food made in Thailand.
[ア] So, when I first ate natto,
I was surprised like Sari because eating sticky food was a new experience for me.
Hiroshi: I see. It’s interesting to know how other people feel when they eat natto.
Mr. Green: That’s true. [イ]
Hiroshi: Is tempeh popular food in Indonesia?
Sari: Yes! I think some people in Indonesia always have tempeh to cook at home
and they eat it almost every day.
Mr. Green: How do they cook tempeh?
Sari: We usually fry tempeh.
For example, my family fries tempeh with various vegetables.
Mr. Green: That’s interesting.
In Japan, natto is usually eaten with rice, right?
[ウ] People eat various kinds of fermented soybean food in various ways.
[エ]
Hiroshi: I can’t imagine the taste of tempeh.
But, I want to try it someday.
Sari: Now, tempeh is getting popular in Japan.
[  ⑤  ] 
Hiroshi: Really? I didn’t think I could buy tempeh in this neighborhood.
I want to eat tempeh, and compare tempeh and natto.
Sari: Let’s go there this weekend.
Hiroshi: Yes! Thank you, Sari.
Learning about various kinds of food in other countries was interesting.
And, it made me become more interested in natto.
I think learning about food in other countries leads me to learning about food
in my country.
Sari: I agree with you.
[  ⑥  ] 
Mr. Green: Thank you for telling us about tempeh,
Sari, and thank you for sharing an interesting topic, Hiroshi.

2 高校生の美香 (Mika) が英語の授業でスピーチを行いました。
次の問1~問8に答えなさい。

次は,美香が行ったスピーチの原稿です。
彼女が書いたこの原稿を読んで、あとの問いに答えなさい。      
 Please imagine that you have a favorite cup.
You use it every day.
But, one day, you [ ① ] the cup and it breaks.
You’ll be sad, right?
Then, what will you do with the broken cup?
Maybe you will throw it away, or you may connect the pieces of the broken cup with glue.
But, there is a traditional way of repairing.
The way is called “kintsugi.”
Today, I’ll tell you about kintsugi.

 When my favorite cup broke last year, my brother told me about kintsugi.
I heard the word “kintsugi” for the first time then.



[  ②  ]
He used traditional glue called urushi to connect the pieces and after that,
he put some powdered gold on the joins.
I was surprised to see this because he didn’t hide the joins.
I asked him why he put some powdered gold on the joins.
He said, “To decorate the joins.”
It took a long time to finish repairing the cup,
but, when I looked at the joins decorated with powdered gold, they looked beautiful.
I thought kintsugi was interesting and I wanted to know more things about kintsugi,
so I read some books about it.

 When people repair things with kintsugi, urushi and powdered gold are usually used.
Urushi is taken from urushi trees.
People in Japan [ ③ ] urushi for more than 3,000 years to connect things together.
In the 16th century, the tea ceremony became popular among some people,
and special cups for the tea ceremony were used.
[       ④       ]
After repairing their broken cup, people thought
that they could make it beautiful by adding powdered gold to the joins.
At that time, decorating things with powdered gold was already known in the art world,
so people started to decorate the joins with powdered gold.
In this way, kintsugi was known to many people.

 When things break, I usually repair them to use them for a long time.
But, actually, I wanted to hide broken parts,
so the idea of decorating the joins with powdered gold was strange to me at first.
However, through learning about kintsugi,
I could imagine that the joins made the repaired thing special.
I talked with my brother about my thought.
Then, he told me about his experience.
Before learning about kintsugi, he [  ⑤  ] which part was repaired.
The repaired part showed that the thing was once a broken thing.
But, kintsugi changed his way of thinking, and now he feels the repaired part is beautiful.
After listening to his experience, I looked carefully at my repaired cup again.
The cup had many joins.
The joins made me feel that the cup was more special than the one I used before repairing.
I also felt that the cup was a special thing to me
because it was [ ⑥ ] for anyone else to get one with the same joins.
I was happy to use the cup again.

 When I first heard the word “kintsugi,” I thought it was just a way of repairing.
But now kintsugi is more than Ⓐthat to me.
When something like a favorite cup breaks, maybe some people don’t know
what to do or other people may throw it away because they can’t use it.
However, if people repair it with kintsugi, [  ⑦  ] .
I think that’s wonderful.
