Ⅱ【Part2型】説明文のスクリプトを読み、質問の答えとして最も適切なものを選べ(1本につき2問)

(A) Urban Beekeeping / In recent years, beekeeping has become popular in many cities. Rooftops of offices and hotels are now home to beehives, and the honey is often sold to local customers. Supporters say that urban beekeeping helps protect bees, whose numbers have been falling in many parts of the world. However, some researchers have raised concerns. Honeybees compete with wild bees for flowers, and if too many hives are placed in one area, there may not be enough food for wild bees. These researchers suggest that cities should focus on planting more flowers rather than simply adding hives. / (B) Why Do We Yawn? / For a long time, many people believed that we yawn because our bodies need more oxygen. However, experiments have shown that breathing air with extra oxygen does not make people yawn less, so scientists have looked for other explanations. One idea is that yawning helps cool the brain. Supporters of this theory point out that people seem to yawn less often in very hot weather, when breathing in warm air would not cool the brain. Scientists are also interested in why yawning is contagious. Some suggest that it may be linked to our ability to understand other people's feelings, but studies have produced mixed results.

本文の訳を見る

(A) 都会の養蜂
近年、多くの都市で養蜂が人気になっている。オフィスやホテルの屋上には今や巣箱が置かれ、そのはちみつは地元の客に売られることが多い。支持する人々によれば、都会の養蜂は、世界の多くの地域で数が減り続けているミツバチを守る助けになるという。しかし、懸念を示す研究者もいる。ミツバチは花をめぐって野生のハチと競合するので、1つの地域に巣箱を置きすぎると、野生のハチの餌が足りなくなるおそれがあるのだ。こうした研究者は、都市は単に巣箱を増やすよりも、花をもっと植えることに力を入れるべきだと提案している。
(B) 人はなぜあくびをするのか
長い間、多くの人は、体がもっと酸素を必要としているからあくびをするのだと信じていた。しかし実験によって、酸素を多く含む空気を吸ってもあくびは減らないことがわかったため、科学者たちはほかの説明を探してきた。1つの考えは、あくびが脳を冷やす助けになるというものだ。この説を支持する人々は、暖かい空気を吸っても脳が冷えないとても暑い日には、人はあまりあくびをしないようだと指摘する。科学者たちはまた、なぜあくびがうつるのかにも関心を持っている。それは他人の気持ちを理解する能力と関係しているのかもしれないという人もいるが、研究結果はまちまちである。
