あなたは大学で、農業用ロボットに関する講義を、ワークシートにメモを取りながら聞いています。
Today, we will learn about robots in agriculture. Robots are already used for planting, harvesting, and other jobs. Now, farm workers are retiring and there are not enough workers to take their place. Robots have the potential to help with this labor shortage and improve agricultural production. Let’s look at the apple industry and consider how robots can help with manual work and decision− making.
On apple farms in the U.S., both robots and humans do manual work. Now, robots are slower than humans at picking apples. However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans. As technology improves, robots will better assist people in doing routine manual work like picking apples.
Currently, humans rather than robots make decisions. For example, farmers do an amazing job of anticipating how many apples they can harvest each year. However, even growers with a lot of experience are not always accurate and this can cause financial loss. In the future, data−collecting robots and AI are expected to work together to make more precise predictions about apple harvesting.
Does this mean all work, including non−routine work, will be done by robots? No, not at all. Some non−routine decision−making work and some manual work will still be done by humans. For example, robots have difficulty picking apples from trees of different shapes and sizes. Humans will still need to manage the trees by deciding the best shapes for harvesting, and cut the trees by hand.
Our first team will talk about the connection between robots and different types of agricultural work. Team 1, please start.

まず表をしっかりと見ておきましょう。
この問題のポイントは
①将来(In the future)
②手作業(Manual labor)
そして、「ロボットは( 29 )果物を摘むことができるでしょう」という内容です。
以上の点を意識しながら聴くと、
both robots and humans do manual work.(ロボットと人間の両方とも手作業をします)
という1文が読まれます。
manual work=manual labor であるため、解答に関連がありそうだと予測できます。
その次の文は(28)の問題の「今」の話(Now, robots are slower than humans at picking apples.)
その次の文が
However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans.
(進歩したロボットはもっと効率的になるでしょう。なぜなら、人間と違って、ロボットは休憩なしに働き続けることができるからです)
この「in the future」も大きなヒントとなり、解答を導くことができます。
*advance 進歩する
effective 効果的
keep ~ing ~しつづける
break 休憩
unlike ~と違って
「正確に」
However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans.
(進歩したロボットはもっと効率的になるでしょう。なぜなら、人間と違って、ロボットは休憩なしに働き続けることができるからです)
から不正解
「活発に」
However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans.
(進歩したロボットはもっと効率的になるでしょう。なぜなら、人間と違って、ロボットは休憩なしに働き続けることができるからです)
から不正解
正解 「継続的に」=without a break
However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans.
(進歩したロボットはもっと効率的になるでしょう。なぜなら、人間と違って、ロボットは休憩なしに働き続けることができるからです)
「期待通りに」
However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans.
(進歩したロボットはもっと効率的になるでしょう。なぜなら、人間と違って、ロボットは休憩なしに働き続けることができるからです)
から不正解
「素早く」
However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans.
(進歩したロボットはもっと効率的になるでしょう。なぜなら、人間と違って、ロボットは休憩なしに働き続けることができるからです)
から不正解
「ゆっくりと」
However, in the future, advanced robots will be more effective because they will be able to keep working without a break, unlike humans.
(進歩したロボットはもっと効率的になるでしょう。なぜなら、人間と違って、ロボットは休憩なしに働き続けることができるからです)
から不正解
表のキーワードを見極めましょう。
