Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. (1). „Why do batteries matter? Look at all your electronic devices: from laptops to smartphones to Kindles or iPads, even your watch. Those electronics are getting more energy-efficient and require less energy than they used to. But as they do, people get greedy and want their capabilities to increase. The battery, or how much energy you can 05 store in a given volume and weight, is the defining factor in this whole field. Then there are electric cars. If we can make batteries with double the "energy TR2Z density of today's and drive the price below $200 per "kilowatt-hour (versus $300 to $800 today, depending on type and weight), we could have a car with a 300-mile range, even with the air conditioner or heater turned up, that would sell for $25,000 to $30,000. The 10 Department of Energy's goal is to get batteries to $150 per kilowatt-hour by the year 2020. 01 Finally, there are the "utility-scale batteries, which are very important for renewable TR28 energy. Wind and solar power are going to become more common. Wind is already the second-cheapest form of new energy, after shale gas, and it will become the cheapest 15 15 within a decade. Right now "utility companies get about 4 percent of their power from renewable sources other than "hydro- and that 4 percent is roughly all from wind. We may see a day when renewables make up 50, 60, 70 percent of the total supply of energy. Utility companies will need batteries to stabilize the flow of renewable energy into the *grid, and also require a better electrical control system to (3)do the switching. People 20 may have these batteries at their homes instead of generators. All of this would create a huge market. But the effects would be more profound. T There are mountainous places even in the U.S., like western Alaska, that will never be connected to the electric grid. There aren't enough people, and the distances are too great. There are many parts of South Asia like this, too. But they will have solar and 25 wind power - which, in 10 or 15 years, are going to be as cheap as any other form of energy, or cheaper. Once you have "storage systems, you can put a little "solar installation on your roof or "a plot of land, and then you will have your electric supply! It will be like cellphones' "leapfrogging the "land-line era. It will transform the prosperity of the world. 【Notes】 energy density エネルギー密度 (ここでは電池の容量を意味する) kilowatt-hour キロワット時 (1キロワットの機器を1時間使ったときの消費電力量) utility-scale 電力供給に使う規模の hydro utility company t storage 貯蔵 (ここでは電気を蓄えておくことを意味する) grid solar installation a plot of land 一画の土地 land-line 地上 (の電話) 線 by a factor of two (増減の幅が)2倍で (50pts.) leapfrog 〜を一足跳びにする

次の英文を読んで, 設問に答えなさい。 25 min. 454 words 2 25分ぐ終了 ( Listening to a gardening program the other day, I was struck by something the /S-70₂ expert said about a particular type of potted plant. Do not water it once it has *come into bud, he advised. Cause it to feel stress, and it will produce more, and more beautiful, flowers. 52 Surely this advice is against everything that we are told by doctors. Stress is bad for us, they say. Stress is the cause of all sorts of diseases. Stress caused by overwork sometimes results in early death. Newspaper and magazine articles tell us how to reduce stress, or how to avoid it altogether. No one has a good word for stress. 10 3 And yet, I asked myself, if stress is good for plants, can there possibly be any value for us in it? The longer I thought about it, the more it seemed to me that there is. Without a certain degree of tension and stress, we are apt to become lazy and neglect our duties. All students know that they should study regularly throughout the year, and then be able to face examinations without fear. In fact, 15 most students leave this study till the last possible moment, and then hastily try to ( 3 ) lost time. Many of us, likewise, put off dealing with our problems until the deadline approaches. Every year I resolve that I will write all my Christmas cards and letters ahead of time, and avoid a last-minute rush; and every year I find that 20 once again I have left it too late for me to finish comfortably. Only when the tension increases [working seriously / the job / do / to get/I/done / start]. (4) In other fields too, when satisfaction enters in, creativity and curiosity go out of the window. What has been called "divine discontent" - a creative dissatisfaction (5) with the present situation, whatever it is produces progress. And that 25 dissatisfaction is one type of stress. 6Thus, it seemed to me, a certain degree of stress is necessary for human progress. Just how much is good, and how much is harmful, is the problem. Those of us who are employed by a company/whose policies demand long periods of stressful activity/are to be sympathized with, since too much stress is activity/are

plainly Dreaming is a universal phenomenon, though much of what we dream may be forgotten, and some few persons are able only rarely to remember their dreams on waking. The dream represents mental activity during sleep. For this reason the workings of the unconscious mind can be more p 5 seen here than anywhere else. Ordinarily the thoughts and wishes of the unconscious mind are unknown to us, though it contains the source of creative and instinctive energy. As the oldest part of the concept-forming apparatus, it makes liberal use of such primitive methods of representation as symbolism. In a very general way, the unconscious mind of present-day man may be 10 compared to the conscious mind of the caveman, and dreams often remind us of the picture writing of the caveman, where a relatively few simple pictures used as symbols told a detailed story of events. In addition, it is the function of a dream to express a wish, but since the wishes of the unconscious are often highly instinctive in nature, they would be 15 as disturbing to most modern persons as would the acts of a caveman in present-day society. Therefore, most dreams are disguised enough to conceal their true meaning from the dreamer. This is accomplished through the intervention of the conscience, a much more recently developed function of the brain. In psychoanalysis an effort to get the true meaning of the dream is 20 made by having the dreamer give all his thoughts and feelings about every element of the dream. These are then pieced together by the analyst, who uses his knowledge of the life history of the individual as a reference point. By this means, unconscious thoughts and wishes, as well as long-forgotten experiences, can be revealed so as to give the dreamer a much more complete understand- 25 ing of himself.
