少し時間ができたので,2012年1月14日実施、大学入試センター試験 英語(筆記)を TeX で作成してみた。

まずネットから2012年実施のセンター試験 英語(筆記)の問題(PDF)を入手し,Acrobat 7.1 Standard で「OCRを使用してテキストとして認識」した。取り出したテキストを校正しながらTeXソースを書き直していった。

現在ネットで入手できるセンター試験の問題はまず間違いなく印刷された問題をスキャナーで読み取りPDF化しただけのものであり,英語の問題の場合ファイルサイズは2~3MBある。それに対して今回作成したPDFは 538KB になり,新しい可能性を示すことができた。

気をつけて作成したつもりだが勘違いやうっかりミスをしている可能性も大なので,気づきがあれば教えてください。

 以下に出力結果とソースを載せておきます。

busy parents are? They have to take care of the house and kids!
Sometimes it is very convenient to let their young children watch TV. I
think it's OK, as long as the viewing time is limited and the contents of
the programs are checked. Besides, there are educational TV
programs. For example, by watching English TV programs for young
kids, children can get used to the sounds of English.}

Do you like eating ``mixed nuts'' while watching TV and movies at home?
Since both almonds and peanuts can be found in the mixed nuts sold at grocery
stores in Japan, you might assume that they are similar types of food. Indeed,
\sikaku{32}.
For instance, they are both nutritious as sources of minerals and
vitamins. At the same time, however, some people can have allergic reactions
to them. According to recent research, many children suffer from peanut and
almond allergies.

Despite these similarities, however, almonds and peanuts are quite
different. First, although they are both called nuts, they are classified
differently in plant science. The almond is considered a drupe. This kind of
plant bears fruit, inside of which is a hard shell with a seed. Other examples
of drupes are peaches and plums, but with almonds, the seed is the part we
eat. In contrast, the peanut is classified as a legume, a type of bean. The
peanut grows underground, while the almond grows on trees. Moreover, each
peanut shell contains from one to three peanuts as seeds, while the almond
fruit has only one seed.

Second, almonds and peanuts \sikaku{33}. Almonds came from the Middle
East. Gradually, they spread to northern Africa and southern Europe along the
shores of the Mediterranean, and later to other parts of the world. Peanuts,
however, were first grown in South America, and later they were introduced to

Wood used in the construction of homes must be stable. That is, it must
not change size too much. But wood from a tree that has just been cut down
will shrink considerably over time. This shrinkage is caused by moisture
(water) within the wood escaping into the atmosphere. The drying process of
wood is known as "seasoning." There are actually two ways to season wood.
One way is to allow the natural drying process to occur. The other is to put it
in a special oven called a kiln. Kiln drying is much faster than the natural
method.

During the seasoning process, water is removed from the wood until the
moisture content of the wood is approximately equal to the humidity of the air
around it. These changes in size due to shrinkage are not uniform because
changes depend on the kinds of trees, the way trees are cut, and the
surrounding conditions.

It is also important to note that even after seasoning, there will always be
some small changes in size due to changes in the humidity of the surrounding
air. For example, last year, I used a 230 mm wide piece of eastern white pine
wood to make a cabinet door. It changed in width across the grain ({\it Figure 1}),
shrinking by 2 mm from the original in the winter and expanding by 3 mm
from the original in the summer.

The moisture content of wood changes according to the seasons even
when it is kept indoors. Wood is often painted to prevent sharp changes in
moisture content, which cause expansion and shrinkage. However, no paint
can completely block the passage of moisture. Paint only acts to slow down
the transfer of moisture to or from the wood. As illustrated in the graph
({\it Figure 2}), the moisture content of unpainted wood inside a house may change
according to the seasons from 4\% to about 14\%, while the moisture content of
a painted piece of kiln-dried wood in the same house will only vary around the
8\% line. Wood that has been naturally dried to around 13\% moisture content
and then painted will continue to dry gradually until it reaches about the same
percentage of moisture as painted kiln-dried wood.

{\bf Koji's speech}

My name is Takeda Koji, and today I will talk about my study-abroad
experience in the English Language Program at North Pacific University in
Vancouver last year. First of all, I really liked the intensive English classes
every weekday. My English has improved a lot. All the teachers were friendly
and enthusiastic, and they sometimes stayed late to help us with our projects.
I'm truly grateful to Ms.~Lee, my advisor, who always responded to my
problems promptly.

\vskip2zh

Also, I enjoyed exploring the city. It has many good ethnic restaurants and a
wonderful park near the ocean where interesting events were held every
weekend. I took many weekend trips offered by the program including a visit
to the Native Canadian Art Museum and boat trips to several beautiful islands.

\vskip2zh

On top of that, I totally enjoyed the student life at NPU and attended many
student-organized events on campus. My most precious memory is of
preparing a big exhibit to introduce Japanese culture for the International Fair.
However, there was one problem, that is, computer access. The computer
rooms in the Writing Center were always crowded, especially when students
were writing midterm or final papers, and it was frustrating to wait so long.

\vskip2zh

I have one regret, and it's about my host family. Though my host parents and
their 10-year-old son were nice people, they were so busy all the time. Both
parents worked late, and the boy belonged to the local hockey team. So I often
had to eat alone and didn't have much time to interact with them. I felt
envious of Yuka, who will speak after me, when I went to a barbecue at her
host family's. Now I think I should have consulted the program coordinator
about this problem at an early stage.

\vskip2zh

Finally, I'd like to say that this program is very good for improving your
English and expanding your knowledge about different cultures.

\vskip2zh


{\bf Yuka's speech}

My name is Imai Yuka. I was in the same program as Koji at North Pacific
University, though my experience was slightly different from his. First, I
wasn't so satisfied with the courses offered, though the teachers were all
wonderful. There were too many language classes, but only two courses that
covered the history and culture of Canada. I mean, I wish I had learned more
about Canada as well as studied English. Then the benefits would have been
double.

\vskip2zh

Also, I had mixed feelings about the campus life at NPU. I loved the spacious
lawns and nice facilities, but the campus events didn't seem so interesting to
me. I know Koji had a great time at the International Fair, but I wanted to go
to a concert with my host family instead. However, I was impressed by the
wonderful Writing Center with its academic support. Even though it was
sometimes crowded, it was worth the wait. I went there almost every weekend
and learned how to write a good paper.

\vskip2zh

And I almost forgot to say that it was such fun to go around the city,
especially to street fairs and some really great ethnic restaurants. On the
other hand, I didn't take so many trips because there were lots of things going
on with my host family.

\vskip2zh

Actually, what made my stay most exciting and unforgettable was my host
family. My host father is an agricultural engineer and he has worked on
projects in several different countries. Just talking with him was stimulating,
and he, as well as my host mother, always helped me whenever I had problems
with homework, friends, and school activities. My host mother is a violinist
with the local philharmonic, and so we were able to go to the concerts every
month for free. She opened my eyes to classical music, and I promised her
that I would start piano lessons when I came back to Japan. They also have
lots of friends. I met so many people at all the barbecues they had.

\vskip2zh

In my case, the rich cultural experience my host family provided and the host
family themselves were the best part of my stay.

\bigskip

\parindent=-24pt

(1)\hskip28pt A high school student has a science test on Monday but spends most of
the weekend playing video games and does not start studying until late
Sunday night. This kind of avoiding or delaying of work that needs to be
done is called procrastination. It has been estimated that up to 95\% of
people procrastinate at least sometimes, and about 20\% of them do it too
much. Traditionally, people who procrastinate have been considered lazy,
but research tells us that this is not true. Learning about the roots of
procrastination can help us understand why most people do it to some extent
and also help us decrease our own procrastination. Although researchers do
not agree on all the reasons behind procrastination, there is general
agreement about some factors that can explain it.

\vfill

(2)\hskip28pt The first factor is how pleasant or unpleasant people find a task.
Research shows that people will put off tasks they find unpleasant. Many
high school students may delay cleaning their rooms or doing their
homework. However, many might not delay doing such tasks as responding
to a friend's email. It is important to remember that whether or not a task
is pleasant depends on the individual. For example, someone who loves
bicycles might not delay fixing a punctured tire while someone who does not
may put it off.

\vfill

(3)\hskip28pt In addition to how people feel about the job at hand, the amount of
confidence they have in their ability to do a task is also related to
procrastination. For instance, those who have low expectations of success
are more likely to postpone starting a particular job. Conversely, those who
believe that they can perform well are more likely to take on challenging
tasks rather than avoid them. It should be noted, though, that some
counselors argue that too much confidence can also lead to procrastination:
some people overestimate how easily they can do a particular task and start
too late.

\newpage%■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

(4)\hskip28pt Another factor is whether or not people can exercise self-control. Those
who have less self-control can easily be drawn away from their work.
Accepting an invitation to sing karaoke on a night when you planned to start
working on a presentation could be one example. Self-control, or the ability
to resist temptation and stick to a plan, is something many of us struggle
with. Interestingly, age is said to be associated with self-control. Research
shows that the older people become, the less likely they are to delay doing
their work until the last minute.

\vskip3zh

(5)\hskip28pt Lastly, there is a link between procrastination and how long people must
wait before they see the reward for an effort. For instance, studying hard in
school might not give high school students any immediate rewards; what
they learn might not seem useful to the present. However, studying can
provide them with rewards in the future like the knowledge or skills
necessary to pursue their dreams. Sometimes, it is hard to see the benefit
of making an effort when the reward is too far away. This can explain why
many people do not start saving money for their old age when they are
young.

\vskip3zh

(6)\hskip28pt What are the roots of your procrastination? Because the behaviors
described here seem common to most people, you do not need to completely
change your habits if you only procrastinate once in a while. On the other
hand, if you feel that your procrastination is a problem, the first step to
reducing it is identifying the reasons behind it. Self-help books and websites
give numerous techniques for overcoming procrastination, but it is only by
understanding the roots of the problem that you can choose the appropriate
method for yourself.
