1Which statement best describes the climate of the Setouchi region (the Seto Inland Sea coast) together with the industries and crops associated with it?
A.Mild all year with low rainfall; citrus fruits such as mikan are grown on warm sloping land, and former salt-field sites along the coast have been redeveloped for industry.
B.Heavy winter snowfall driven by the seasonal winds, supporting large-scale single-crop rice farming.
C.Hot, humid summers with very heavy rainfall and the strongest typhoon impact in the country, allowing double cropping of rice.
D.Cold with low rainfall throughout the year, supporting dairy farming and upland crops centred on the vast Tokachi Plain.
Explanation: The Setouchi region lies sheltered between the Chūgoku Mountains and the Shikoku Mountains, so it is mild with little rainfall all year. The long hours of sunshine and warm climate support citrus growing such as mikan, centred on Ehime Prefecture, and coastal land once used for salt fields has been converted into industrial zones.
2What is the main reason that large numbers of reservoir ponds (tameike) have been built since ancient times on the Sanuki Plain (Kagawa Prefecture) in the Shikoku region?
A.Summer rainfall is low and there are few large rivers, so water had to be stored to secure supplies for farming.
B.They were needed as retention basins to prevent flood damage from heavy winter snow.
C.They were needed to store high-temperature water for geothermal power generation.
D.They were used as dams on fast-flowing rivers for hydroelectric power generation.
Explanation: The Sanuki Plain has the dry Setouchi-type climate and few large rivers, so it has long suffered from water shortages. Many reservoir ponds, most famously Manno Pond, were built to collect rainwater and runoff for irrigating rice and other crops.
3Japan's standard time meridian passes through Akashi City in Hyōgo Prefecture. Which line of longitude is it?
A.135° East
B.140° East
C.130° East
D.125° East
Explanation: Japan's standard time meridian is 135° East, which runs through Akashi City in Hyōgo Prefecture. Japan Standard Time (JST) is set from this meridian and is 9 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
4On a 1:25,000 topographic map, the distance between two points measures 4 cm. What is the actual ground distance in metres?
A.1,000 m (1 km)
B.100 m
C.400 m
D.2,500 m
Explanation: On a 1:25,000 map, 1 cm on the map represents 25,000 cm on the ground, which is 250 m. Therefore 4 cm represents 250 m × 4 = 1,000 m, or 1 km.
5On topographic maps issued by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, what is the origin and shape of the map symbol for an orchard (kajuen)?
A.It represents the shape of fruit such as peaches or mikan hanging on a tree.
B.It represents a cross-section of the seed of a tea plant.
C.It is a simplified outline of a broadleaf tree.
D.It represents the shape of an ear of rice.
Explanation: The orchard symbol is a stylised drawing of fruit growing on a tree, such as peaches or mikan. It is commonly used to mark the mikan orchards that are widespread in Ehime Prefecture.
6Which pair correctly gives the world's largest continent by area and the world's largest ocean by area?
A.Eurasia — Pacific Ocean
B.Africa — Atlantic Ocean
C.North America — Indian Ocean
D.Eurasia — Atlantic Ocean
Explanation: Eurasia is the largest continent by area and the Pacific is the largest ocean. The Pacific covers most of the water hemisphere of the globe.
7Among the temperate climate types, which one is found around the Mediterranean Sea and is described as hot and dry in summer with relatively more rain in winter?
A.Mediterranean climate (Cs)
B.Humid subtropical climate (Cfa)
C.Oceanic west coast climate (Cfb)
D.Tundra climate (ET)
Explanation: The Mediterranean climate (Cs) is dry and clear in summer under the subtropical high-pressure belt, and receives steady rainfall in winter from the westerlies. Olives, grapes and citrus fruits are grown there.
8Which environmental and development problem is the most serious issue in the tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin and equatorial Southeast Asia?
A.Loss of tropical forest and declining biodiversity caused by large-scale logging and the spread of slash-and-burn farming.
B.Rapid desertification and spreading salt damage caused by overgrazing and over-cultivation.
C.Lakes and forests dying from acid rain caused by sulfur oxides from industrial areas.
D.Island nations being submerged by sea level rise caused by melting ice sheets.
Explanation: In the Amazon and Southeast Asia, timber logging, mining, conversion to farmland such as soybean fields and oil palm plantations, and the excessive spread of slash-and-burn farming are shrinking the tropical forest rapidly, accelerating global warming and causing severe loss of biodiversity.
9What is the name of the farming system practised on Europe's Mediterranean coast, combining drought-resistant tree crops such as olives, grapes and oranges with wheat cultivation?
A.Mediterranean agriculture
B.Mixed farming
C.Plantation agriculture
D.Dairy farming
Explanation: Mediterranean agriculture combines tree crops that tolerate the dry summer, such as olives, grapes and citrus, with winter wheat grown using the winter rains, alongside livestock rearing.
10Which statement correctly describes life and farming in the high altitudes of the Andes and similar highlands of South America?
A.Because temperature falls with altitude, maize is grown in the lower valleys and potatoes higher up, while llamas and alpacas are grazed on the high plateaus.
B.Because it is hot and humid all year, the rainforest is cleared to run large natural rubber plantations.
C.Because the land is covered in ice and snow all year, people live mainly by hunting seals and travelling by dog sled.
D.Large-scale commercial arable farming is carried out with wheat rotation and heavy machinery.
Explanation: The Andes show vertical climate zonation. Maize is grown in the lower valleys, potatoes are grown above roughly 3,000 m, and llamas and alpacas are grazed as livestock on the high plateaus.
