平成29年試行テストより
第５問
Ａ You are the editor of your school newspaper. You have been asked to
provide comments on an article about origami written by an American student
named Mary.
[Origami]
[1] Many people in Japan have childhood memories of origami, where square
sheets of paper are transformed into beautiful shapes such as animals and
flowers. Origami has been enjoyed widely by people of all ages for
centuries.
[2] A recent event reminded us that origami is viewed as a traditional
Japanese art form overseas. When President Barack Obama visited Hiroshima
in 2016, he made four origami paper cranes neatly. He then presented them
to Hiroshima City. This was seen as a symbol of his commitment to
friendship between the two countries and to world peace.
[3] Two positive influences of origami can be seen in care for the elderly
and rehabilitation. Origami requires the precise coordination of fingers
as well as intense concentration to fold the paper into certain shapes. It
is thought to slow the progression of memory loss associated with such
medical problems as Alzheimer's disease. It is also believed that origami
helps keep motor skills and increases brain activity, which aid a person
recovering from injuries. For these reasons, both inside and outside Japan,
there are many elderly care and rehabilitation programs in which origami
is used.
[4] Children also benefit from origami. It fosters creativity and artistic
sense while allowing them to have fun. This has resulted in a large number
of associations--both domestic and international--regularly holding events
for young children such as origami competitions and exhibits. Isn't it
surprising that many organizations that are active in these areas can be
found overseas?
[5] [ A ] Furthermore, origami paper folding technology has promising
applications in medicine. [ B ] In 2016, an international team of
researchers developed a tiny paper-thin robot that can be used for medical
treatment. The robot, made of material from pigs, is folded like origami
paper and covered with a capsule made of ice. When the capsule is swallowed
by a patient and reaches the patient's stomach, the capsule melts, and the
robot unfolds as it absorbs water from the surrounding area. [ C ] After
this, the robot is controlled from outside of the body to perform an
operation. When the task is complete, the robot moves out of the body
naturally. [ D ]
[6] As seen in the examples above, origami is no longer merely a
traditional Japanese art form that many of us experienced as a leisure
activity in childhood. In fact, it is a powerful agent that can bring
positive change to the lives of all generations worldwide. While the
appreciation of its beauty is likely to continue for generations to come,
nowadays origami has come to influence various other aspects of our lives.
問１ Mary's article mainly discusses [ 25 ].
{1} the greater importance of origami in medicine than in other fields
{2} the invention of new types of origami in many foreign countries
{3} the major role origami plays in promoting world peace and cooperation
{4} the use of origami for cultural, medical, and educational purposes
問２ Mary's intention in Paragraphs [3] and [4] is probably to [ 26 ].
{1} describe the history of origami's development outside Japan
{2} discuss the difficulties of using origami for treating diseases
{3} express concerns about using origami for rehabilitation, elderly care,
and education
{4} introduce some contributions of origami to the lives of people of
different ages
問３ You found additional information related to this topic and want to
suggest that Mary add the sentence below to her article. Where would the
sentence best fit among the four locations marked [ A ], { B ], { C ],
and [ D ] in Paragraph [5]? [ 27 ]
The developers of the robot say that this technology can be used, for
instance, to remove a small battery from the stomach of a child who has
accidentally swallowed it.
