■ 問題
Using an international news report, you are going to take part in an
English oral presentation contest. Read the following news story from
France in preparation for your talk.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
｜ Five years ago, Mrs. Sabine Rouas lost her horse. She had spent 20 ｜
｜years with the horse before he died of old age. At that time, she felt ｜
｜that she could never own another horse. Out of loneliness, she spent ｜
｜hours watching cows on a nearby milk farm. Then, one day, she asked the｜
｜farmer if she could help look after them. ｜
｜ The farmer agreed, and Sabine started work. She quickly developed a ｜
｜friendship with one of the cows. As the cow was pregnant, she spent ｜
｜more time with it than with the others. After the cow's baby was born, ｜
｜the baby started following Sabine around. Unfortunately, the farmer ｜
｜wasn't interested in keeping a bull----a male cow----on a milk farm. ｜
｜The farmer planned to sell the baby bull, which he called Three-oh-nine｜
｜(309), to a meat market. Sabine decided she wasn't going to let that ｜
｜happen, so she asked the farmer if she could buy him and his mother. ｜
｜The farmer agreed, and she bought them. Sabine then started taking 309 ｜
｜for walks to town. About nine months later, when at last she had ｜
｜permission to move the animals, they moved to Sabine's farm. ｜
｜ Soon after, Sabine was offered a pony. At first, she wasn't sure if ｜
｜she wanted to have him, but the memory of her horse was no longer ｜
｜painful, so she accepted the pony and named him Leon. She then decided ｜
｜to return to her old hobby and started training him for show jumping. ｜
｜Three-oh-nine, who she had renamed Aston, spent most of his time with ｜
｜Leon, and the two became really close ｜friends. However, Sabine had ｜
｜not expected Aston to pay close attention to her training routine with ｜
｜Leon, nor had she expected Aston to pick up some tricks. The young bull｜
｜quickly mastered walking, galloping, stopping, going backwards, and ｜
｜turning around on command. He responded to Sabine's voice just like a ｜
｜horse. And despite weighting 1,300 kg, it took him just 18 months to ｜
｜learn how to leap over one-meter-high horse jumps with Sabine on his ｜
｜back. Aston might never have learned those things without having ｜
｜watched Leon. Moreover, Aston understood distance and could adjust his ｜
｜steps before a jump. He also noticed his faults and corrected them ｜
｜without any help from Sabine. That's something only the very best ｜
｜Olympic-standard horses can do. ｜
｜ Now Sabine and Aston go to weekend fairs and horse shows around ｜
｜Europe to show off his skills. Sabine says, "We got a good reaction. ｜
｜Mostly, people are really surprised, and at first, they can be a bit ｜
｜scared because he's big--much better than a horse. Most people don't ｜
｜like to get too close to bulls with horns. But once they see his real ｜
｜nature, and see him performing, they often say, 'Oh he's really quite ｜
｜beautiful.'" ｜
｜ "Look!" And Sabine shows a photo of Aston on her smartphone. She then｜
｜continues, "When Aston was very young, I used to take him out for walks｜
｜on a lead, like a dog, so that he would get used to humans. Maybe ｜
｜that's why he doesn't mind people. Because he is so calm, children, in ｜
｜particular, really like watching him and getting a chance to be close ｜
｜to him." ｜
｜ Over the last few years, news of the massive show-jumping bull has ｜
｜spread rapidly, now, Aston is a major attraction with a growing number ｜
｜of online followers. Aston and Sabine sometimes need to travel 200 or ｜
｜300 kilometers away from home, which means they have to stay overnight.｜
｜Aston has to sleep in a horse box, which isn't really big enough for ｜
｜him. ｜
｜ "He doesn't like it. I have to sleep with him in the box," says ｜
｜Sabine. "But you know, when he wakes up and changes position, he is ｜
｜very careful not to crush me. He really is very gentle. He sometimes ｜
｜gets lonely, and he doesn't like being away from Leon for too long; but｜
｜other than that, he's very happy." ｜

■ 題材・テーマについてひとこと
第５問は、センター試験では「物語文」でした。共通テストでは、フィクション
ではなく実在の人物を題材として、文章の内容に合う語句やセンテンスを選ぶ
だけでなく、Presentation Slidesの空欄を埋めるタイプの設問もありました。
予想問題等の対策が不十分だった人は戸惑ったかも知れませんが、時系列を整理
して読み取っていけば、それほど難しくはないはずです。
