1992-追試(5)
□Get on a train and it is likely that several people around you will be wearing earphones. There they are in the same space, but not talking or paying attention【the act of carefully thinking about, listening to, or watching someone or something】 to one another. Though listening to a personal tape player this way has some virtue【a morally good way of behaving】 in that you don't usually disturb others, it allows【to make it possible for someone to do something】 almost no human contact. You are alone with your machine.
□A similar【sharing some features but are not exactly the same】 situation occurs with many video games. A person concentrating【to give all your attention to what you are doing】 on destroying spaceships, avoiding attackers, or shooting enemies needs no companion. True, some games do enable players to take turns, and then people might talk to each other, but in many cases the player is involved only with the machine and its program.
□In what ways are young people affected by instruments like these? Are they becoming less able to make contact with the surrounding world? This question is becoming increasingly important with the spread of personal computers. Computer technology is becoming more and more widely used in areas like communications【the process of exchanging information or ideas】, education, and banking. In one way or another, many people now spend a great deal of time in front of a computer screen. The fact that television frequently limits communication within families is already well known; these new developments will further lead people to live within themselves and not reach out to other people.
□At this moment in history, science seems likely to alter our society as never before. At the same time, the power of technology has become enormous【extremely large in size or in amount】 . Perhaps technology itself is creating individuals who are only concerned with their own interests. Will they be satisfied simply to watch events passively, without becoming involved in social decisions which may change their own life? Machines should not be allowed to ruin【to destroy or severely harm something】 our sense of social responsibility. Whether we admit it or not, we are all here together, and share a common fate【the things that happen to someone or something, especially in a way that cannot be prevented or changed】.
問１ The advantage【something that helps you to be more successful】 of using earphone on a train is that
① you can enjoy music without being disturbed
② you can have closer contact with your machine
③ you don't have contact with other people
④ you seldom bother people around you
問２ Some video games are criticized because
① they are likely to make players enjoy violence
② they discourage【to cause someone to lose enthusiasm to do something】 players from communicating with others
③ they require players to take turns and talk to each other
④ they require two or more players to take part
問３ The increasing use of personal computers
① is causing people to lose contact with their surroundings
② is creating in people a stronger desire to communicate with others
③ is greatly strengthening【to make something stronger】 human relationships
④ is helping establish closer ties among family members
問４ The author is worried about the current situation because
① technological developments may weaken people's sense of social duty
② the progress of science will greatly change our society
③ too many people will become involved in social decision-making
④ young people are losing their interest in developing new technology
解答）1④ 2② 3① 4①

たぶん、このシリーズは受験書では弱小のかんき出版が社運をかけて仕掛けている。

この本はカリスマオヤジ講師の説教抜きで英英辞典の権威LDCEそしてOALDを参照して新作も提供してくれている。センター過去問もある。読みたいなら、ここで読めばいい。ありがたい日本語の説教よりも、まともな英語の文を一文でも正しく理解して読み続けるのが、読解の基礎力をつくるのだから。
