Miki と Kumiko が、来週授業で行われる「動物園は存在すべきか？」という題のディスカッションの準備を、資料を見ながらしています。次の会話文を読み以下の問に答えなさい。

Miki: Let’s start preparing for our discussion. First of all, what are the bad points of zoos?

Kumiko : Well, I think animal health is a bad point. Some animals become sick because they feelstressed. They are stressed because their living spaces in zoos are smaller than theirnatural environment.
Miki: That makes sense. Animal health is important. ① We need to find out what zoos should
do to create an animal-friendly environment.

Kumiko : Right, but remember, zoos also have some good points. They have been able to save ② someendangered animals. For example, Przewalski’s horses*1 died off in the natural world,but one zoo kept these horses and successfully helped them have babies. Until now, they
have returned 800 of them back to the natural world.

Miki: That is a good point, but most of the animals in zoos are not endangered species. Lookat this paper*2 . Only 15 % of the animals in zoos are at risk. Also, it is difficult to returnthe rescued animals to the natural world. Plus, animal babies may be just for show.

Kumiko : That’s right. Animal babies are so cute. I went to see panda babies at my local zoo two
years ago. There were guided tours at that zoo, but I didn’t join any because I didn’twant to feel like I was studying. Maybe I missed out on a good learning experience. Ididn’t really understand much about the animals I saw that day.
Miki: Well, do zoos play any ③ educational role? We can learn about ecology in places othert teach us much.
than*3 zoos. Have a look at this article*4 . It says visiting zoos doesn’

Kumiko : I see, but I’
ve seen articles that say zoos have educational merits. They say that zoos
are helpful in teaching people about animals and the environment.
Miki: Can I read those articles? Are they about guided tours, like when you saw the pandas?

Kumiko : I think so. They say that guided tours with feeding and special topics teach us morethan just regular visits.
Miki: Are there any other good points about guided tours at zoos?

Kumiko : Well, people can feel more connected with nature when they watch and learn aboutanimals.
Miki: Yes, that makes sense. Of course, we can learn about animals on TV and on the internet,
but we want to save animals more when we see real animals.

Kumiko : I agree. OK, so far, I think we have three important points to discuss: animal well-being,saving animals, and the educational merits of zoos. Does that sound right?
Miki: Yes. I think next week’s discussion will be great.

次の英文を読み、以下の問いに答えなさい。
Generative AI*1 is a type of artificial intelligence*2 system.  It can create text, images, or otherthings just like human beings do.   Generative AI learns the patterns of input*3 data, and thenproduces new similar data.  The most famous example of generative AI is ChatGPT.
ChatGPT can do a lot of things.   It can talk with people, write computer programs, makemusic, write essays, answer test questions, or play games.   The New York Times, one of the mostpopular newspapers in the US, called ChatGPT“the best artificial intelligence chatbot*4 everreleased*5 to the general public*6 .”   Derek Thompson, the chief editor*7 of The Atlantic magazine,
wrote“It may change our mind about how we work, how we think, and what human creativity*8is.”  ChatGPT has become the fastest-growing software in history.  It has gained over 100 million
users in a very short period of time.   Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, decided to make bigchanges in his company to protect Google’s artificial intelligence products, because ChatGPT could
be a danger to his company.
Some people, however, are worried about the use of ChatGPT.   OpenAI, the company thatcreated ChatGPT, admits that ChatGPT sometimes writes wrong answers.   In 2022 , Elon Musk,
the CEO of Twitter, said that he was worried about the use of ChatGPT because it is very difficults answers.  Also, he stopped*10 OpenAI from using
for users to check the accuracy*9 of ChatGPT’Twitter’s database*11 .  Holden Thorp, the chief editor of the world-famous science magazine Science,
decided to limit the use of ChatGPT.
Generative AI may be very helpful to human beings.   At present, however, people havedifferent opinions about it.  Can generative AI be our real partner?  Maybe we need more time toanswer that question.

次の英文を読み、以下の問いに答えなさい。
Gender equality, the idea that everyone should be treated equally regardless of*1 their gender,

is an important issue all over the world.  In order to improve gender equality, many countries aresupporting people in difficult situations.
The World Economic Forum*2  releases the Global Gender

Gap Index* every year.  This report measures the extent of3gender-based gaps among four key areas: economy, education,health, and politics.   The 2023 edition of the Global Gender
Gap Index ranked 146 countries around the world.   The top
ten countries include four Nordic countries (Iceland, Norway,Finland, and Sweden); as well as three European countries(Germany, Belgium, and Lithuania); an Asian Pacific country(New Zealand); an African country (Namibia); and a Central
American country (Nicaragua).   Iceland has kept its number

On a regional level, Europe has the highest number at 76 . 3 %, overtaking*4 North America( 75 . 0 %).   This is probably because many European countries have been allowing parents tobalance work and family, regardless of whether those parents are mothers or fathers. In theUnited States, there’s far less of that.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, the rate is 74 . 3 %, while in Eurasia and Central Asia it is
69 %. The level is（ ３ ）in East Asia and the Pacific ( 68 . 8 %), Sub-Saharan Africa ( 68 . 2 %), SouthernAsia ( 63 . 4 %) and the Middle East and North Africa ( 62 . 6 %).
The global gender equality level has advanced by only 4 . 1 % since the report’s first edition in2006 , with the pace of change slowing over time.   At the present rate, it will take 169 years toreach economic equality and 162 years for political equality, the report found.
Japan ranked 125 th among 146 countries, which is the country’s worst result on record.   In5Japan’s case, gender inequality is most prominent* in the fields of economy and politics.
In the economic field, Japan ranked 123 rd, mainly because of the（ ４ ）number of womenin executive *6 positions at companies.   In 2022 , only 9 . 1 % of the board members of listedcompanies*7 were women, and nearly 20 % of companies did not have any women in executivepositions.   Studies have shown that companies with women in executive positions are more
successful.   This is an issue that could have a serious influence on the performance of Japanesecompanies.
Japan ranks even lower in the political field.   While many other countries have madeimprovements and boosted their rankings, Japan has fallen to 138 th place, which is near thebottom of the list.  Only 48 of the 464 House of Representatives*8 members are women, and justtwo of Japan’s 20 Cabinet ministers*9 are women.
In male-dominated*10 organizations, discussions tend to lose flexibility*11 .  We can get flexibility

only when we have many viewpoints in the decision-making process.   It is very important toadvance women’s participation in these fields.
