広島大学の二次試験対策について質問です。
去年から新しく2個の資料から問題を解く形式に変わりました。慣れるために問題を解きたいんですが、去年の分しかありません(TT)
2個の資料を用いて問題を解いていく形式の長文がある大学の過去問を知っていたら、教えて欲しいです！

↓写真のような感じの問題です

(I] Read the following two passages and answer the questions.
資料1
A cave-wall depiction of a pig and buffalo hunt is the world's oldest recorded story,
claim archaeologists who discovered the work on the Indonesian island Sulawesi. The
scientists say the scene is more than 44,000 years old. The 4.5-metre-long panel
features reddish-brown forms that seem to depict human-like figures hunting local
animal species. Previously, rock paintings found in European sites dated to around
14,000 to 21,000 years old were considered to be the world's oldest clearly narrative
artworks. The scientists working on the latest find say that the Indonesian art predates
these.
Such artworks are notoriously difficult to date because they can be made with raw
materials, such as charcoal(注1), which can be much older than the paintings
themselves. But scientists excited the archaeological worid when they reported, in 2014
and 2018, that caves in Sulawesi and Borneo held artworks, including animal paintings,
which were older than 40,000 years.
The panel seems to depict wild pigs found on Sulawesi and a species of small-bodied
buffalo, called an anoa. These appear alongside smaller figures that look human but also
have animal traits such as tails and long noses. In one section, an anoa is surrounded by
several figures holding spears and possibly ropes. The depiction of these animal-human
figures, known in mythology as therianthropes (注 2), suggests that early humans in
Sulawesi had the ability to conceive of things that do not exist in the natural world, claim
2
the researchers. The oldest such example from Europe is a half-lion, half-human ivory
figure from Germany that researchers have estimated to be 40,000 years old-although
Some suggest that it might be significantly younger. A roughly 17,000-year-old painting
of a bison chasinga bird-headed human, from Lascaux Cave in France, is considered to
be one of the earliest depictions of a clear scene in European rock art.
To determine the age of the hunting scene, researchers led by archaeologist
Maxime Aubert, at Griffith University, Australia, analysed calcite (注 3) 'popcorn' that had
built up on the painting. Radioactive uranium in the mineral slowly decays into thorium.
So by measuring the relative levels of different isotopes (往0 of these elements, the
researchers were able to determine that calcite on top of one pig began forming at least
43,900 years ago, and deposits (注 5) on two anoas are older than 40,900 years. The
dating gives scientists clues about the origins of figurative art. "t has always been
assumed that the tradition of figurative painting arose in Europe," says Alistair Pike, an
archaeological scientist at the University of Southampton, UK. "This shows the tradition
does not have its origins in Europe." But he notes that the researchers dated only the
portions of the painting that show animals, so it's possible that the therianthropes were
added later. Aubert says the team did not find calcite samples over the therianthropes.
Aubert thinks the animals and the therianthropes were painted at the same time.
They are of similar colour and weathered in the same way, he notes, and all the other
cave art from the region is from the same time period. Archacologist Bruno David, at
Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, agrees with Aubert's interpretation.
If the entire painting is more than 44,000 years olid, it could mean that early humans
arrived in southeast Asia with the capacity for symbolic representation and storytelling.
David argues. Archaeologists have already found paint palettes and objects such as
eggshells with abstract engravings made by early humans in southern Africa, he adds.
“'s probably only a matter of time before narrative paintings of this, and much older
age, are found in Africa."

資料2
Some 44,000 years ago, an artist climbed high onto a cave ledge on an Indonesian
island, paintbrush in hand. Perhaps inspired by spiritual visions, the artist sketched a
dynamic scene featuring tiny, animal-like figures armed with spears cornering wild hogs
and small buffaloes. In a new study, researchers argue that the scene's visionary
storytelling-which they claim represents the oldest known figurative art made by
modern humans-shows that people already had imaginations much like our own at the
time of the cave painting, and likely much earlier. “We think of the ability for humans ta
5
make a story, a narrative scene, as one of the last steps of human cognition (注 ),"
says
the study's lead author, Maxime Aubert, an archaeologist at Griffith University in
Nathan, Australia.
In 2017, co-author Pak Hamrullah, an Indonesian archaeologist and caver, noticed a
small opening in the ceiling of a previously explored limestone (注 2) cave. Scrambling
upa fig tree vine, he found his way into a smaller cave. Its far wall bore a panel, painted
with an orange-red pigment (注 3), When Aubert saw it, he was astounded. "I thought
Wow, it's like a whole scene," he says. "You've got animal-like figures, hunting ot
capturing these animals. It was just amazing." The hunted animals appear to be the
Sulawesi wild pig and an anoa, or dwarf buffalo, both of which still live on the island
But it was the animal-like figures, armed with spears or ropes, that captivated Aubert
Several appear to have long noses. One seems to possess a tail, while another's mouth
resembles a bird beak. The features could depict masks or other camouflage, but the
researchers argue that dressing like small animals would be a poor disguise for hunters
More likely, the figures represent mythical animal-human hybrids, Aubert says. Suct
hybrids feature in several instances of early artwork, including a 35,000-year-old ivor:
figure of a lion-man found in the German Alps.
To date the Sulawesi cave painting. Aubert carefully picked out a few centimeter
wide pieces from the painted cave wall-avoiding the figures and trying to do as littk
damage as posible-and brought the pieces back to his lab. Over the years, a:
rainwater passed through tiny holes in the cave's limestone and ran slowly down it
walls, it left small ( a ) deposits called cave (b)on top of the paint. The
popcorn holds small amounts of ( c ),which over time decays into ( d )at a fixed
rate. By analyzing the ratio of uranium to thorium in the mineral layer directly on top of
the pigment, the researchers calculated the painting's minimum age: 44,000 years old,
6
they report in Nature. That would make the cave scene at least 4,000 years older than
other instances of figurative ancient rock art found in Indonesia and Europe, and some
20,000 years older than the oldest depictions of hunting scenes in Europe.
The ability to imagine beings that don't exist is a critical cognitive milestone,
Aubert says, and forms the roots of religion and spirituality. Seeing this ability fully
formed 44,000 years ago in Sulawesi suggests it was probably already present in the
early modern humans who left Arica and populated the rest of the world. Nicholas
Conard, an archaeologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany who wasn't involved
in the work, says that scenario makes sense given that every modern human society has
its own creative and mythic traditions. "These depictions underline the great antiquity
of narratives and storytelling," he says, "t is encouraging to find concrete evidence for
7
narrative depictions at this early date." The findings should also help remove
outdated and mistaken notion that humanity first became fully modern in Europe, adds
April Nowell, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada. "We have long
known this view is no longer defendable, and the richness of this and other recent
findings continues to underscore the importance of the record outside Europe."

知っている限りでは2つの資料で問題を解く大学はないですね…
大学ではありませんが、TOEICには2つの資料で問題を解く設問があります。

あまり見ない形式ですよね..笑

そーなんですか！問題慣れするために、解いてみようと思います！ありがとうございます^ ^
