A Dog-Lover’s Paradise
A visit to Robert Gray’s dog rescue shelter in Greenfields will surprise you if your idea of a dog shelter is a place where dogs are often kept in crowded conditions.When I was asked to visit there last summer to take photographs for this magazine， I jumped at the chance.I will never forget how wonderful it was to see so many healthy， happy dogs running freely across the fields.
At the time of my visit， around 70 dogs were living there.Since then， the number has grown to over 100.For these dogs， the shelter is a safe place away from their past lives of neglect.The owner， Robert Gray， began taking in homeless dogs from the streets of Melchester in 2008， when dogs running wild in the city were a growing problem.Robert started the shelter in his back garden， but the number of dogs kept increasing day by day， quickly reaching 20.So， in the summer of 2009， he moved the shelter to his uncle’s farm in Greenfields.
Although what I saw in Greenfields seemed like a paradise for the dogs， Robert told me that he has faced many difficulties in running the shelter.Since the very early days in Melchester， the cost of providing the dogs with food and medical treatment has been a problem.Another issue concerns the behaviour of the dogs.Some neighbouring farmers are unhappy about dogs wandering onto their land and barking loudly， which can frighten their farm animals.Most of the dogs are actually very friendly， though.
The number of dogs continues to grow， and Robert hopes that visitors will find a dog they like and give it a permanent home.One adorable dog named Muttley followed me everywhere.I was in love！ I promised Muttley that I would return soon to take him home with me.

この過去問の解説 （1件）
01
犬の保護施設が始められた理由は何かを問う問題です。
訳）
イギリス人の友達が、イギリスの犬に関するおもしろい記事を見せています。
犬好き天国
グリーンフィールズにあるロバート・グレイの犬の保健施設を訪れると、もしあなたが「犬の保護施設＝狭い場所でぎゅうぎゅう詰め」というイメージを持っているなら驚くことでしょう。昨年の夏、この雑誌のために写真を撮りに行くように頼まれ、私はすぐにその機会を受けました。広い野原を元気に走り回る、たくさんの健康で幸せそうな犬たちを見るのは本当に素晴らしい経験で一生忘れません。
・jump（動詞） : 飛びつくという意味です。
私が訪れたときには、約７０匹の犬がそこで暮らしていました。それ以来、数は１００匹以上に増えています。これらの犬にとって、この施設は過去のネグレクトから逃げられる安全な場所です。施設のオーナーであるロバート・グレイは、２００８年、メルチェスターの街頭で野良犬が増え社会問題となっていたとき、路上のホームレス犬を引き取り始めました。ロバートは最初は自宅の裏庭で保護を始めましたが、犬の数は日ごとに増え、すぐに２０匹に達しました。そこで２００９年の夏、施設をグリーンフィールズにある叔父の農場に移転しました。
・away from : から離れてという意味です。
・neglect（名詞） : 放棄という意味です。
見た目にはグリーンフィールズの施設は犬の天国のようですが、運営には多くの困難があるとロバートは話します。初期のメルチェスター時代から、犬の食事や医療費が大きな問題でした。また、犬の行動についても問題があります。近所の農家の人々は、犬が敷地に入り込んだり大声で吠えたりすることで家畜が怖がる、と不満を持っています。とはいえ、多くの犬は本当にとてもフレンドリーです。
・run（動詞） : 運営、経営するという意味です。
・neighbouring（形容詞） : 近所のという意味です。
・wander（動詞） : 歩き回る、ぶらつくという意味です。
・frighten（動詞） : 驚かせる、ぞっとさせるという意味です。
犬の数は増え続けており、ロバートは訪問者が気に入った犬を見つけて「永遠の家（里親）」を見つけてくれることを願っています。私にずっとついてきた「マトリー」という可愛い犬がいました。私はすっかり恋に落ちてしまいました！私はマトリーに「必ず迎えにくるよ」と約束したのです。
Mike Davis（２０２２年１月）
・permanent（形容詞）: 永久の、ずっとという意味です。
・adorable（形容詞） : 愛らしい、可愛らしいという意味です。
正解
メルチェスターには飼い主のいない犬がたくさんいたという意味です。
２段落目に、The owner， Robert Gray， began taking in homeless dogs from the streets of Melchester in 2008， when dogs running wild in the city were a growing problem（施設のオーナーであるロバート・グレイは、２００８年、メルチェスターの街頭で野良犬が増え社会問題となっていたとき、路上のホームレス犬を引き取り始めました）.とあるため正解です。
不正解
人々が犬が通りを自由に走るのを見たかったという意味です。
文中にそのような内容はないため不正解です。
不正解
グリーンフィールズの農家が自分たちの犬を心配していたという意味です。
上記の理由により不正解です。
不正解
人々が犬を引き取れる場所が必要だったという意味です。
里親探しではなく、野良犬問題を解決することが目的なので不正解です。
・adopt（動詞） : 引き受ける、採用するという意味です。
メルチェスターで野良犬が増え問題になり、それが保護施設を始めた理由のため「in Melchester， there were a lot of dogs without owners」が正解です。
