Paris showed the next Olympics’ *pictograms to the world.
 Mandy : Sorry. What are pictograms?
 Jiro : Pictograms are *simple pictures that tell people information.
They are used in many *public places, such as stations.
 Kento : Ah, I know. I have seen pictograms for the Paris Olympics on the Internet.
They look cool.
Some people say the athletes will feel proud of their sports when they see those pictograms.
 Jiro : New ones are made for every Olympics.
The designs are different from city to city.
 Mandy : What were the pictograms in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics like?
 Jiro : Here they are.
They are different from those in Paris, aren’t they?
 Kento: Yes, they are simple.
 Mandy : Why did Japanese people make simple pictograms?

問2
 The next day, the students are talking about the pictograms for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Kento : Let me tell you about the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Tokyo is the first city that used pictograms for the Olympics.
Mandy : Why were pictograms used in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics?
Kento : In the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Japanese people needed to communicate with visitors from all over the world, but it was difficult to support visitors in their languages.
So, Tokyo〔 to / had / way / another / think of 〕to communicate with everyone.
That was the pictogram.
Jiro : I think many visitors from other countries could not understand Japanese.
Kento: Right.
For that reason, Tokyo decided to tell people important information through pictograms.
Mandy : I see.
Then, do you know who created the pictograms for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics?
Kento: Yes, a group of designers started creating the pictograms.
Katsumi Masaru, an *art critic, was one of them.
The designers worked in small groups.
One team was *working on sports pictograms.
Another was working on pictograms for public places.
Each group worked hard *based on Mr. Katsumi’s idea.
He thought the pictograms would *play an important role in big events such as the Olympics.
 〔注〕

Pictograms were used in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics because

ア it was easy for Japanese people to speak foreign languages.
イ Tokyo wanted other countries to learn about Japanese culture.
ウ there were many designers who were interested in sports.
エ Japanese people needed to communicate with many visitors from other countries.

答え:
ア  イ  ウ  エ 

問4
The students continue talking.
Jiro : What were the pictograms for public places like?
Kento : Here is an example.
Have you ever seen this?
Mandy: Yes, it means a restaurant.
Kento : That’s right.
This was used in Haneda Airport in 1964.
Haneda Airport was an entrance to Japan for visitors from other countries at that time.
Before that, there were *notices on the wall, but because most of them were written in Japanese, it was hard for many foreign visitors to understand what the notices *said.
So, pictograms were useful for making the information easier for foreign visitors to understand.
Jiro : We often see such pictograms at the airports in Japan now.
Kento : There were pictograms in public places before 1964.
But each country had different pictograms.
Mr. Katsumi and other designers tried to make simpler pictograms that everyone in the world could understand when they started getting ready for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Simple pictograms created by Japanese designers many years ago are still used around the world.
 〔注〕
notice 掲示 say ~ ~と書いてある

本文[3]の内容と合うものを,次のア~エの中から一つ選びなさい。

ア Many visitors from other countries understood the notices at Haneda Airport before 1964.
イ Different pictograms for public places were made in each country before 1964.
ウ The pictograms Mr. Katsumi created were designed based on the Japanese language.
エ Many countries like their own pictograms better than the simple pictograms.

答え:
ア  イ  ウ  エ 

問5
Kento shows another pictogram.
Kento : Now, many kinds of pictograms are used in public places.
Have you seen this pictogram?
Mandy : Yes, I have seen it in school.
It shows a door that is used to leave the *building when there is a fire or an earthquake.
Kento: That’s right.
It was created by Japanese designers and became an *international standard in 1987.
There is another example.
Pictograms are often used on websites.
Have you seen a *magnifying glass icon?
Jiro : [  A  ] It means “*search.”
Kento : Right.
Pictograms are often used to tell people important information in a limited *space.
Mandy : One more example.
Look, here is a small gift my friend in Australia gave me.
You see it on the *roads.
Jiro : Oh, it means “Be careful of kangaroos.”
That’s easy.
I would like to share it with our classmates.
Why don’t we talk about the history of pictograms and those found in other countries for the presentation?
Mandy : That’s a good idea.
In our presentation, I would like to tell everyone that there are many pictograms around us.
Let’s make the *slides and write a *script.

*印のついている語句には、本文のあとに〔注〕があります。

 What did you do last night?
I watched the rugby match between New Zealand and Australia on TV.
I am from New Zealand, so I am a big fan of the New Zealand team.
New Zealand and Australia have been *long-time rugby *rivals.
The match I watched last night is called the *Bledisloe Cup.
It is an *international match that began around 1930
and holds a special meaning among many rugby fans.
Both teams play several times a year.
The Bledisloe Cup is usually held at stadiums in New Zealand or Australia,
but it is sometimes held in other countries.
It was held in Japan twice.

 Have you ever heard the word “*Haka”?
It is a traditional dance in New Zealand.
Some people say that it is performed as an expression of respect and *gratitude.
You will often see it at graduation ceremonies, sports matches, and many other events.
Watching the dance, Haka, performed by the New Zealand team
before the match also makes me excited.
When I watch the dance, I realize the match will begin soon.

 Last night’s match was exciting.
It ended in a *tie, but it was a very good match.
Actually, I am a member of a local rugby team and I play rugby on weekends.
Sports are fun to watch and to play.
