My Adventure Going to Toiura
My name is Hiroki and I’m 10 years old. I’m from Shinayama City， which is two hours away by super express train from Toiura， a small town where my grandparents live. Last month， my dad asked me if I wanted to visit my grandparents by myself this summer. I was really excited but also nervous； I had never been on a trip by myself！
The day of my trip came. After we arrived at the station， I bought a box of my favorite cookies for my grandparents. My parents then accompanied me to the train and made sure I was sitting in the right place. My parents told me to be careful of strangers before they left.
The tall buildings of Shinayama flashed by and suburban houses started to appear， then rice fields took over. The train stopped and some passengers got on. Suddenly， I heard， “Excuse me！”
I turned and saw a middle−aged woman pointing at the seat next to me. I moved my backpack from the aisle seat. As she sat down， she spread her arms and legs into the space I had occupied before. I retreated away from the left armrest and shifted my body toward the window.
“Are you traveling alone？” she asked me. I nodded in reply. “Wow！ Where are you going？” I didn’t know whether to respond because my parents had told me to be cautious of strangers. So， I just said， “Toiura.” The woman’s eyes widened. “Toiura！ I have a friend living there！ I love visiting her.” She started digging around in her bag.
I saw her pull out a box of fancy chocolates. “Would you like one？” she asked. I was tempted to take one， but I remembered what my parents had told me. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to go against my parents’ wishes， but I also thought it would be rude to refuse. I thought for a moment and said， “No， thank you， ma’am.” But she replied， “Oh， don’t be shy！ Help yourself.” I breathed in and said， “I really don’t want any， but thank you for asking.”
The chocolate woman looked sad and softly said，“All right.” For a minute，there was an uncomfortable silence，then she took out her phone and started tapping on it. The tension eased a little，but I felt I couldn’t end the conversation this way. So I said，“I’m sorry about the chocolate. I just can’t take one.” “That’s fine，dear,” she said. “You’ve handled this situation in a way that’s beyond your age.” After that，we sat in silence and enjoyed the train ride.
“We are now arriving at Toiura station. We will be stopping for five minutes,” said the announcement. As the train pulled into the station，I could see my grandparents waving. The chocolate woman asked me with surprise，“Are those your grandparents？” When I said yes，she said，“How about that！ It’s a small world！” Then she hurriedly began writing something on a piece of paper. I stayed in my seat waving to my grandparents for a little bit; I wanted to show them I was on the train by myself！
As I was leaving my seat，the woman handed me the box of chocolates with a note on it. She said，“Please share this with Michiko，and tell her I said hello. I don’t want to interfere with your reunion.” I wondered how the chocolate woman knew my grandmother’s name，but I really didn’t have time to ask her. I rushed off the train，and ran toward my grandparents on the platform.
When I met them，I said，“I brought some cookies，and some chocolates from a woman sitting next to me. Maybe we shouldn’t eat them though，because she’s a stranger.” As the train began to leave，we saw the chocolate woman waving to us. “Junko！” my grandmother said. Then she looked at the box of chocolates and read the note on it.

あなたは大学の英語の授業を受講しています。先生が物語を配布し、それを読んでワークシートを完成させるように言いました。
私のトイウラへの冒険旅行
僕の名前はヒロキ。10歳です。シナヤマ市に住んでいます。そこから祖父母の住む小さな町、トイウラまでは特急列車で2時間かかります。先月、お父さんが僕にこう尋ねました。「今年の夏、一人でおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんのところへ行ってみる？」僕はとてもわくわくしましたが、同時に緊張もしていました。1人で旅行するのは初めてだったからです！
・super express train：特急列車
旅行の日がやってきました。駅に着いたあと、僕は祖父母へのお土産として大好きなクッキーを一箱買いました。両親は僕を列車まで見送り、正しい席に座っていることを確認してくれました。そして去る前に、「知らない人には気を付けるんだよ」と言いました。
・stranger（名詞）：知らない人
シナヤマの高いビル群が窓の外を流れ去り、やがて郊外の住宅が見え始めました。さらに進むと、一面に田んぼが広がりました。列車が停車し、何人かの乗客が乗り込んできました。その時突然、「すみません！」という声が聞こえました。振り向くと、中年の女性が僕の隣の席を指さしていました。僕は通路側の席に置いていたリュックをどかしました。女性は座ると、僕がさっきまで使っていた空間に腕や足を大きく広げました。僕は左側のひじ掛けから少し離れ、体を窓側へ寄せました。
・flash（動詞）：素早く通り過ぎる
・suburban（名詞）：郊外
・aisle seat：通路側の席
・spread(動詞)：広げる
・retreat（動詞）：退却する
「一人で旅行しているの？」と女性が尋ねました。僕はうなずきました。「わあ！どこへ行くの？」僕は答えるべきか迷いました。両親から知らない人には気を付けるよう言われていたからです。そこで僕はただ、「トイウラです」とだけ答えました。女性は目を大きく見開きました。「トイウラですって！私、そこに住んでいる友達がいるのよ！遊びに行くのが大好きなの。」そう言うと、女性はバッグの中をごそごそ探し始めました。
・nod（動詞）：頷く
やがて高級そうなチョコレートの箱を取り出しました。「1つどう？」と女性は尋ねました。僕は受け取りたくなりました。でも両親の言葉を思い出しました。どうすればいいのかわかりませんでした。両親の言いつけに背きたくありません。でも断るのも失礼だと思いました。少し考えてから、「結構です。ありがとうございます。」と言いました。すると女性は、「あら、遠慮しないで。どうぞ。」と言いました。僕は深呼吸して、
「本当にいりません。でも声をかけてくださってありがとうございます。」と言いました。
・pull out：取り出す
・fancy（形容詞）：高級そうな
・tempt（動詞）：誘惑する
・rude（形容詞）：失礼
チョコレートの女性は悲しそうな顔をして、「そう。」と静かに言いました。しばらく気まずい沈黙が流れました。その後、女性は携帯電話を取り出し、操作し始めました。緊張感は少し和らぎましたが、このまま会話を終わらせたくありませんでした。そこで僕は言いました。「チョコレートのこと、ごめんなさい。ただ受け取れないんです。」すると女性は答えました。「大丈夫よ。あなたは年齢以上にしっかりした対応をしたわ。」
その後は二人とも静かに列車の旅を楽しみました。
・uncomfortable silence：気まずい沈黙
「まもなくトイウラ駅に到着します。停車時間は5分です。」というアナウンスが流れました。列車が駅へ入ると、祖父母が手を振っているのが見えました。女性は驚いて尋ねました。「もしかして、あれがおじいさんとおばあさん？」僕が「はい」と答えると、女性は言いました。「まあ！世間は狭いわね！」そして急いで紙切れに何かを書き始めました。僕は少しの間席に座ったまま祖父母に手を振っていました。1人で列車に乗ってきたことを見せたかったのです！
・waving：手を振る
・hurriedly（副詞）：急いで
席を立とうとすると、女性はチョコレートの箱とメモを渡してくれました。そして言いました。「これをミチコさんと一緒に食べて。それからよろしく伝えてね。久しぶりの再会を邪魔したくないから。」僕はなぜこの女性が祖母の名前を知っているのか不思議に思いました。でも聞いている時間はありませんでした。僕は急いで列車を降り、ホームにいる祖父母のもとへ走りました。
・hand（動詞）：手渡す
・interfere with：介入する
・reunion（名詞）：再開.
祖父母に会うと僕は言いました。「クッキーを持ってきたよ。それから隣に座っていた女性からチョコレートももらった。でも知らない人だから、食べないほうがいいかもしれないね。」列車が発車し始めると、僕たちはチョコレートの女性がこちらに向かって手を振っているのを見ました。「ジュンコ！」と祖母が言いました。そしてチョコレートの箱を見ると、その上のメモを読みました。

次の質問に答えなさい：
2人の主な登場人物の特徴は何ですか。
ヒロキ （ 29 ）。
チョコレートの女性 （ 30 ）。
なぜジュンコはとても感心したのですか？
彼女は、ヒロキが（ 31 ）したと思ったからです。
・sentiment（名詞）：感情
正解
根拠となる文は3段落目の、As she sat down， she spread her arms and legs into the space I had occupied before. I retreated away from the left armrest and shifted my body toward the window（女性は座ると、僕がさっきまで使っていた空間に腕や足を大きく広げました。僕は左側のひじ掛けから少し離れ、体を窓側へ寄せました。）.です。
絵を確認すると、本文で述べられているように、女性は座席を大きく使用し、少年は体を窓際に寄せていることが分かるため不正解です。

正しい選択肢は、「Hirokiが窓側の席に座り、チョコレートの女性が通路側の席に座っている絵」です。
この問題では、女性が電車に乗ってきた後、Hirokiと女性がどのように座っていたかを本文から読み取ります。本文では、Hirokiが通路側の席に置いていたリュックをどかし、女性がその席に座ったと書かれています。そのあと、Hirokiは女性から離れるようにして、体を窓の方へ寄せています。したがって、Hirokiが窓側、女性が通路側にいる絵が正しいです。
これは正しいです。
本文では、女性がHirokiの隣の席を指し、Hirokiは通路側の席に置いていたリュックを動かしたとあります。
その後、女性はその席に座り、腕や足を広げました。Hirokiは左のひじ置きから離れ、体を窓の方へ寄せています。
そのため、Hirokiが窓側、女性が通路側にいる絵が本文の内容と合います。
これは適切ではありません。
本文では、女性が座ったのはHirokiがリュックを置いていた通路側の席です。
Hirokiは女性から少し離れるようにして、体を窓の方へ寄せています。そのため、Hirokiが通路側にいる絵は合いません。
これは適切ではありません。
本文では、女性はHirokiの隣の席に座っています。
向かい合って座ったとは書かれていません。したがって、向かい合っている絵は本文の場面と合いません。
これは適切ではありません。
本文では、女性はHirokiの隣の席に座っています。
また、女性が腕や足を広げたため、Hirokiは窓の方へ体を寄せています。女性が離れた席にいる絵では、この場面を正しく表せません。
この問題では、女性が電車に乗ってきた直後の座席の位置関係を読み取ることが大切です。
本文では、女性がHirokiの隣の通路側の席に座り、Hirokiは窓側へ体を寄せています。
したがって、選ぶべき絵は、Hirokiが窓側にいて、チョコレートの女性が通路側に座っている絵です。

問題文は
「あなたが描くべき絵を選びなさい。」
です。
電車内での位置関係が問われているとわかります。
本文中より該当箇所を探します。
本文には、
I turned and saw a middle−aged woman pointing at the seat next to me. I moved my backpack from the aisle seat. As she sat down， she spread her arms and legs into the space I had occupied before. I retreated away from the left armrest and shifted my body toward the window.
（私は振り返り、中年の女性が私の隣の席を指刺すのを見た。私は通路側の席からリュックを動かした。彼女は座ると、私が前まで占領していたスペースへ腕と足を広げた。私は左の肘置きから撤退し、体を窓の方に預けた。）
とあります。
ここから、
①少年が窓側の席、女性が通路側の席
②現在肘置きに腕を乗せているのは女性
という二点が読み取れます。
したがって、正解は、この選択肢となります。
