次の英文を読んで質問に英語で答えなさい。

We live in an era of globalization; about 250 million people worldwide now live
in countries other than the one in which they were born. This constant movement ofpeople complicates a question that used to be so much simpler: “Where are you from?”
People move countries for a diverse range of reasons. Economic migrants lookoverseas for better work opportunities and an improved standard of living. They often
travel to one of the many developed countries. These countries often have low birthrates,
and as a result, are in need of working-age adults. Globalization has led to the overseas
expansion of many businesses, allowing skilled workers to take up jobs outside of theirhome countries.
Then there are retirees—people who want to spend their later years in a country
with a lower cost of living. This group of migrants usually comes from countries where
the cost of retirement is expensive.
These first two groups of people move to countries of their own choice, but athird group is not so lucky. Refugees are migrants who are forced to leave their homes
for reasons such as conflict in their countries. These migrants often have to undertake
dangerous journeys in order to escape.
The distribution of migrants around the world is not even. Today, the United ArabEmirates (UAE) is one of the top destinations for economic migrants: they make upover 80 percent of the population. In Asia, the distribution varies greatly: About four inten people living in Hong Kong are foreign-born, but Japanʼs migrant population is justone in fifty. Where migrants go depends on many factors, such as job opportunities orcultural and language differences.
A large-scale influx of migrants can create tensions within the host country, and
it is sometimes perceived that migrants create a drain on that countryʼs resources. Thisis a controversial point, however, and many people disagree. A study by researchers
Christian Dustmann and Tommaso Frattini showed that on the whole, migrants from
Europe contributed more to Britainʼs economy than they benefited from the value of
public services.
Migrants also help support the economy of their home countries. Most sendmoney home to their families; the World Bank estimates that international migrants sent
home about $600 billion in 2015, an amount comparable to the national wealth of thetwentieth richest country in the world.
In addition to the economic benefits, migrants may contribute to the cultural
diversity of their host countries. The International Organization for Migration (IOM),
for example, believes the movement of people around the world to be a positive force. It
works with governments to protect migrantsʼ rights. Through a global campaign called“Migrants Contribute,” it also raises awareness of the value of migrantsʼ contributions.
2As we move toward an increasingly multicultural world, we can observe how
a blend of cultures creates vibrancy in different countries. Being able to experience
multiple cultures just by walking down the street is something that our grandparents
might never have imagined. In many global cities today, itʼs already a reality.
Paul Dummett, Helen Stephenson, and Lewis Lansford, Keynote 3
Questions① Categorize migrants into groups and describe each group.
②List and explain the benefits of migrants.

次の英文を読んで、設問に答えなさい。

The storm clouds which were gathering finally broke over England in the early
14th century. Firstly there was a climatic downturn, often referred to as the Little Ice
Age, which was to last until the 17th century, producing ( 1 ) winters and wet,ruinous summers. Harvests were poor and widespread famine affected the country,
particularly between 1315 and 1317. Yet worse was to come as rats from Asia which
carried fleas infected with *bubonic plague spread the disease across Europe, entering
England from the south coast in the summer 1348. By December of the following year itis estimated to have claimed the lives of (2)between a third and a half of the population.
It did not matter if you were rich or poor, the appearance of small black *buboes on
your body (hence the ʻBlack Deathʼ, the common name for this first outbreak) meant
you probably had only days to live. The plague revisited these shores numerous times
over the following three centuries, and the population did not begin to grow again until
the 1500s. The fear and *foreboding the plague created can be seen in the monuments,
tombs and church carvings of the period.
The worsening climate in the early 14th century first affected those forced to farm(3)marginal lands like upland areas and moors where the weak, thin soils would havestruggled to support a good crop even in better weather, and now they were abandoned.
The Black Death had an even more devastating effect as it left the great *open fields
around the village only partly farmed. The *lord of the manor, anxious to maintain theincome from his estate, would have encouraged those who survived (4)the epidemic towork their neighboursʼ land rather than see it idle and unproductive. Others may havedecided it was best to lease or even ( 5 ) their land to ambitious villagers, who began
to form a new rank of *yeoman farmer.
These changes in land ownership started to alter the (6)physical appearance of thecountryside as the old common fields and *wastes were divided up into enclosed blocksof land held by one farmer. This form of *enclosure by agreement usually occurred
where there had been such a loss of life or so many people had moved away that theland could be easily divided between the few remaining villagers. They would firstly
have to group their *holdings together as their *arable strips were scattered at randomaround the open fields, then once they had bought and ( 7 ) these between them, the
new farmers could set about enclosing their consolidated holdings.
Such early enclosures seem to have occurred mainly in the west and north, incounties like Herefordshire, Shropshire, Cheshire and Lancashire, and also in parts ofSuffolk, Essex and Kent. Where the common system of open fields was dominant,especially in the *Midlands and up into Yorkshire, enclosure at this date is rare; the newfarmers bought up abandoned strips but continued to farm (8)as a community. It would
have been too complicated, especially if the village was well populated, to enclose the4fields by all parties reaching agreement. There were some exceptions. For instance,
when a farmer wanted to grow a different crop from the surrounding one in the open
field, he could fence in his strip, leaving long, thin fields which you can still identify
today.
In the 15th century many *landowners decided to change from arable farming
to (9)rearing livestock, especially sheep, due to its low labour cost and the rising priceof wool and cloth. A greater profit could be achieved by clearing the land of houses
and their *crofts, enclosing the fields and turning them over to (10)pasture. These
attempts to remove villages and enclose common land brought much protest, especiallyin the Midlands, though it often still went ahead despite legislation, investigations andcommissions. It also seems to have been prevalent in the wastes in the North and areas
like Gloucestershire where sheep farming had always been an important part of the local
economy.
The Black Death is often credited as the cause of the (11)desertion of many villages
in this period. However, it is more likely that although disease directly claimed a few,
it was the combination of this and other factors over a longer period which weakened
them and finally resulted in abandonment often in the late 14th or 15th century. Today,
so far, some 3,000 deserted medieval villages have been identified.
Whether a settlement survived this period of despair could depend on its ( 12 )and population. A larger village which maintained a good number of residents would
show signs of decline in the form of abandoned houses and *plots of land between thosewhich were still occupied. Over a period of time these may have been re-occupied bya neighbour, and in this way parts of a village with a 12th- or 13th-century planned(13) of different size plots. The smaller, less populated settlements weremore likely to become deserted. This could be a gradual process spanning in some cases
500 or 600 years until the final resident departed, in others the remaining population
was simply uprooted and replaced by a single farmer or shepherd.
As in previous periods there was a surprising amount of settlement mobility. Some
villages may have (14a)drifted away from an area prone to flooding now the climate had
deteriorated, or they (14b)moved onto better land which had been abandoned. In othercases whole villages were (14c)relocated to a nearby site, often due to the actions ofthe *landlord especially when introducing large-scale sheep farming. And, despite thedecline in population, villages were still being established—some may have appearednear a new industrial area. Many coastal fishing villages were founded in the period,
whilst woodland was still being cleared in areas like Warwickshire and new settlementsformed.
