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.

この問題は、放送内容を要約した結論を選ぶ問題です。
表中で問われていない箇所が、解答に関わる可能性が非常に高いです。
したがって、Does this mean all work, ~以降を重点的に聴いていきましょう。
大まかな流れや結論が理解できば大丈夫です。
特に重要な箇所は
Does this mean all work, including non−routine work, will be done by robots?
(これはすべての仕事をロボットが担う、ということを意味するのでしょうか)
No, not at all. (いいえ、ちがいます)
Some non−routine decision−making work and some manual work will still be done by humans.
(決定する仕事やいくつかの手作業は、人間によってなされることになるでしょう)
Our first team will talk about the connection between robots and different types of agricultural work.
(我々のチームはロボットと農業を繋ぐことに関して話していきます)
要するに、「人間とロボットの双方が農業をしていく」という趣旨のものを選ぶことになります。
「進歩した科学技術は果実農園に問題を引き起こしている」
ロボットのような技術をマイナスにとらえており、不正解です。
*cause 引き起こす
「農業ロボットは人間から農業を引き継ぐことができる」
人間にしかできないことがあるので不正解です。
*take over 引き継ぐ
「科学技術における未来の進歩は、仕事不足という結果になるであろう」
ロボットが人間に取って代わるわけではないので、不正解です。
正解 「ロボットは人間が農業生産を改善するのを助けるでしょう」
ロボットが人間を助けるという視点の解答になっています。
要点を問われる問題では、細かい英語よりも、大まかな内容をとらえるように意識しましょう。
