１、次の英文の空欄に適語を入れよ。(35)

(A) The thoughts and feelings I have mentioned are indeed ( 1 c ) to all men as men. They are also found in some men more than in others, regardless of ( 2 n ) differences. Yet I must admit they are ( 3 p ) in the Japanese in a unique and indefinable manner. Once they are expressed in abstract words, I can easily think no ( 4 l ) of exceptions among the Japanese than of parallels among other nations.

(B) The questions shouldn't be so ( 1 ) that all students taking the exam could get ( 2 ) marks. Nor should they be so ( 3 ) that even the ( 4 b ) students are baffled by them. Rather they should keep to the ( 5 g ) mean: neither too ( 1 ) nor too ( 3 ), though preferably inclining to the ( 6 l ).

(C) In my opinion, the opposite is more likely to be the truth. Old things have stood the test of ( 1 ) and have proved their value. ( 2 ) things have yet to show their real worth, if they have it. Old things have acquired a layer of ( 3 ) , and have endeared themselves to our hearts. ( 2 ) things are naked, like ( 4 ) stones. They are more likely to bruise than to ( 5 c ) us.

(D) But as an Englishman, I have to say, from ( 1 b ) experience, that Japanese is far more ( 2 ). Even after thirty years in this country, I am still very ( 3 i ) in it. I may be a little better in it than Japanese high-school students are in ( 4 ) ; but I have the ( 5 a ) of being in Japan, whereas few of them have been to ( 6 ).

(E) Not that everyone departing or arriving is a ( 1 t ). Among the crowds there are also ( 2 b ) and diplomats, going abroad for a serious ( 3 p ). But in the summer season they are only a small ( 4 m ). More numerous are the nokyo farmers.

(F) No survey of Japanese culture, however selective, can ( 1 o ) mention of the Japanese cuisine. After long experience of life in Japan, I have come to the ( 2 c ) that Japanese culture is centered, if not on the ( 3 s ), at least on the ( 4 m ). Perhaps I ought rather to say the ( 5 e ).

(G) The important thing is not to ( 1 ) one's eyes and ears to the jangles, or to ( 2 ) one's eyes and ears to the jangles, or to ( 3 ) up for one's country " right or wrong", but try and correct the jangles out of love for one's country. Then I hope I may revise the ( 4 ) of this book in a forthcoming edition from "jangles" to "jingles" - as in the words of the well-known ( 5 ) carol, "Jingle Bells".
