3 次の英文は、Renがくろしおくん(Kuroshiokun)について調べ、クラスでプレゼンテーションをしたときの原稿です。この英文を読んで、後の（1）～（3）の問いに答えなさい。

What is Kuroshiokun? I know that he is the mascot of Kochi Prefecture. I know that he is blue and has a nice smile, but I didn’t know where Kuroshiokun came from. At first, it was only a simple question. I asked my teachers my question and also did some research. I will tell you what I have found.
First, I found how Kuroshiokun was born. About 30 years ago, people in Kochi wanted a mascot for a symbol of Kochi Prefecture. Many people had ideas. Kuroshiokun was chosen from those ideas. Because people see energy and warmth in the Kuroshio Current, they thought Kuroshiokun could be the symbol of the prefecture with energy and warmth. Now we know Kuroshiokun is a wave of the Kuroshio. After learning about Kuroshiokun, I realized that I wanted to know more about the Kuroshio Current.
In social studies classes, I learned that the Kuroshio Current is an ocean current and that it is one of the largest ocean currents in the world. It starts near the Philippine Sea and goes to the north. It goes close to Taiwan, Okinawa, Kyushu and Shikoku. Then, it passes Honshu.
Do you know what color the Kuroshio Current is? When you look at the ocean, you can see many kinds of blue. The color of the Kuroshio is dark blue because it has more salt than other currents. The dark blue color of the Kuroshio can be seen from ships.
Then, I learned something more. I wondered how wide the Kuroshio Current is. It is about 100 kilometers! If you tried to go across it by bike, it would take 7 hours. Now I really understand how large it is. The Kuroshio is also a very fast and deep current. It travels about 100 kilometers in a day. It’s faster than you walk. It is hard to imagine but the Kuroshio goes as deep as 1000 meters below the ocean surface. It gets nutrients and minerals from the bottom of the ocean in warm areas. It carries those nutrients and minerals and travels along Honshu.
The Kuroshio Current is also a warm current, so there are many kinds of sea animals including bonitos, sea turtles and coral around Kochi. There are 7 kinds of sea turtles on the Earth and 5 of them are found in the Kuroshio. I was surprised and happy to learn these things, however, I was sad to find that some coral have been damaged because the Kuroshio has changed its course.
My question seemed simple at first, but as you can see, it was a great question. I started this research by finding out where the mascot came from and then I became interested in nature. I am proud of myself because I wondered why Kuroshiokun is Kuroshiokun.
〔注〕mascot マスコット　　warmth あたたかさ　　the Kuroshio Current, the Kuroshio 黒潮
current nutrient (s) 流れ　　the Philippine Sea フィリピン海　　travel 進む
nutrient(s) 栄養　　mineral(s) ミネラル　　coral サンゴ

（1）The Kuroshio Currentの特徴として適切でないものを、次のア〜エから一つ選び、その記号を書きなさい。

イ The Kuroshio Currentは他の海流よりも塩分を多く含んでいる。
ウ The Kuroshio Currentの幅は自転車で進むと7時間かかるほどの広さである。
エ The Kuroshio Currentの進む速さは人が歩く速さよりも遅い。

（2）調査活動を通してRenに分かったこととして適切なものを、次のア〜エから一つ選び、その記号を書きなさい。
ア Kuroshiokunが社会に大きな影響を与えるということ。
イ 海洋生物がThe Kuroshio Current の流れに影響を与えるということ。
ウ 素朴な疑問は調査活動を通して素晴らしい疑問に発展していくということ。
