But you 2-53 couldn't have known how much Facebook can learn about you from the smallest of social interactions - a 'like'*. (1) Researchers from the University of Cambridge designed (2) a simple machine-learning 2-54 system to predict Facebook users' personal information based solely on which pages they had liked. E "We were completely surprised by the accuracy of the predictions," says Michael 2-55 Kosinski, lead researcher of the project. Kosinski and colleagues built the system by scanning likes for a sample of 58,000 volunteers, and matching them up with other 10 profile details such as age, gender, and relationship status. They also matched up those likes with the results of personality and intelligence tests the volunteers had taken. The team then used their model to make predictions about other volunteers, based solely on their likes. The system can distinguish between the profiles of black and white Facebook users, 15 getting it right 95 percent of the time. It was also 90 percent accurate in separating males and females, Democrats and Republicans. Personality traits like openness and intelligence were also estimated based on likes, and were as accurate in some areas as a standard personality test designed for the task. Mixing what a user likes with many kinds of other data from their real-life activities could improve these predictions even more. 20 Voting records, utility bills and marriage records are already being added to Facebook's database, where they are easier to analyze. Facebook recently partnered with offline data companies, which all collect this kind of information. This move will allow even deeper insights into the behavior of the web users. 25 30 (3) - Sarah Downey, a lawyer and analyst with a privacy technology company, foresees insurers using the information gained by Facebook to help them identify risky customers, and perhaps charge them with higher fees. But there are potential benefits for users, too. Kosinski suggests that Facebook could end up as an online locker for your personal information, releasing your profiles at your command to help you with career planning. Downey says the research is the first solid example of the kinds of insights that can be made through Facebook. "This study is a great example of how the little things you do online show so much about you,” she says. "You might not remember liking things, " but Facebook remembers and (4) it all adds up.", * a 'like': フェイスブック上で個人の好みを表示する機能。 日本語版のフェイスブックでは「いいね!」 と表記される。 2-56 2-57 2-58 36

The newly elected government, however, was supportive of the arts. It introduced a landmark policy to provide financial aid to museums so that they would drop their entrance fees. As a result, entrance to many national museums, including the Natural History Museum, became free of charge. Supporters of the policy said that as it would widen access to national museums, it would have significant benefits. People, regardless of their education or income, would have the opportunity to experience the large collections of artworks in museums and learn about the country's cultural history. Although surveys indicated that visitors to national museums that became free increased by an average of 70 percent after the policy's introduction, critics claimed the policy was not completely successful. This increase, they say, mostly consisted of the same people visiting museums many times. Additionally, some independent museums with entrance fees said the policy negatively affected them. Their visitor numbers decreased because people were visiting national museums to avoid paying fees, causing the independent museums to struggle financially.

5 UNIT3 Reading Passage 10 15 20 20 25 30 Listening When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC,¹ for their news. However, during the invasion of Iraq by the United States and its allies in early 2003, a significant number of people followed the war from the point of view of an anonymous² Iraqi citizen who called himself "Salam Pax" (salam means "peace" in Arabic, and pax means "peace" in Latin). Salam Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war, and posted it on his web site. Pax's online diary was a kind of web site known as a "blog." Blogs, short for "web-logs," are online diaries usually kept by individuals, but sometimes they are written by companies and other groups of people. They are a rapidly growing type of web site on the Internet. There are estimated to be several hundred thousand blogs on the Internet, and with the popularity of other social media sites, the number of people writing online about their lives continues to grow. may find A blog differs from a traditional web site in several ways. Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or web sites which are specifically aimed at bloggers, so you do not need to be a computer expert to create your own blog. This means that ordinary people who computers difficult to use can easily set up and start writing their own blog. In 2003, the Internet company AOL³ introduced their own blogging service, enabling its 35 million members to quickly and easily start blogging. There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links, where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting, with a few comments about each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal. There is another kind of blogging, called "moblogging," short for "mobile blogging." Mobloggers use cell phones to take photo's, which are posted instantly to the Internet. When the content and images posted online involve news subjects, mobloggers become citizen journalists. In fact, the Korean web site OhMyNews was a well known source for articles from international citizen journalists. However, in 2010, OhMyNews stopped posting new articles. Instead, it is now a blog site where citizen journalists can choose what makes the headlines, or just share ideas about how regular people are changing the news world. Anyone who visits the web site of a big media company can clearly see how the idea of blogging has changed the reporting of news. Quite often, a list of reader comments follow news articles. It seems that the news is becoming less like a report or a lecture, and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in.

UNIT 1 5 Reading Passage 10 15 20 20 25 Listening There are more than 37,000 known species of spiders in the world in a wide variety of shape's and sizes! The largest spiders in the world live in the rain forests of South America and are known by the people who live there as the "bird-eating spiders." These spiders can grow up to 28 centimeters in length- about the size of a dinner plate, and, as their name suggests, have been known to eat small birds. In comparison, the smallest species of spider in the world is native to Western Samoa. These tiny spiders are less than half a millimeter long — about the size of a period on this page and live in plants that grow on mountain rocks. - Some people like to keep spiders as pets, particularly tarantulas, which are native to North America and can live for up to twenty-five years, Most people, on the other hand, do not like touching spiders, and a significant number of people are afraid of them, mainly because of their poison. However, despite their bad reputation, only thirty of the 37,000 known species of spiders are deadly to humans. Spiders actually provide benefits to humans, by catching and eating harmful insects such as flies and mosquitoes. - - The main thing that makes spiders different from other animals is that they spin web's to catch the small insects they feed on. The unique silk of a spider's web is produced by special organs found spider web is five times in the lower part of the spider's body. It is light, elastic, and strong stronger than steel. Additionally, it is completely biodegradable. This means that the web will making it perfect for uses completely decompose¹ and eventually return to nature over time such as making fishing nets. Some people have tried to raise spiders commercially in order to collect the silk these spiders produce, but no one has ever really managed to make a go of it. One reason why these businesses never stand a chance is because it takes 670,000 spiders to produce half a kilogram of silk, and all of these spiders need living insects for their food. In addition, spiders are usually solitary² animals, and need to be kept alone. Researchers at an American company working together with two U.S. universities may have found a solution to making artificial spider web. Using genetically modified silkworms,³ the company hopes that in the long run it will be able to make large quantities of very light, very strong fiber for medical as well as other uses. Additionally, because the manufacture of the artificial web is from living silkworms, the industry potentially would be non-polluting and less harmful to the environment

下線部(A)の内容を60字以内で説明しなさいと言う設問なのですが、大まかな意味はこれで合ってるでしょうか?💦

解答欄にマークしなさい。 問 2, 間 3, 4, 問5の解答は, 解答用紙 守谷市祗1枚目 (マークシー 2枚目 (記述式) に記入しなさい。 Technology is rapidly and fundamentally changing the way most people do their jobs, disrupting (1) the nature of work and increasing the demand for new kinds of digital skills. The impact can be felt in all kinds of jobs. Gone are the days of copywriters (2) simply writing copy, for instance. Now they also need to be familiar with search engines and social media to know what will make their work more visible online. Architects need to be able to create digital concepts as their clients now often expect to see more than a 2D drawing. Accountants have to keep up with rapid digital advances disrupting their industry such as the growth of online filing. (3) Byron Nicolaides, CEO of PeopleCert, a professional skills assessment and certification business, says: "The digital skill gap describes the effect that has resulted from a shift. towards digitalisation, with the emergence of new professions, alongside the displacement of other roles, that now require continued digital training." Demand for people with high-level digital skills is greater than the supply of suitably qualified employees, and the gap is growing. The World Economic Forum estimates that by 2022 emerging technologies will generate 133 million new jobs in place of the 75 million that will be displaced. "If the demand for digital expertise is not able to be met by the supply, the resulting deficit in a skilled workplace will not only affect the ability of businesses to shape their own future, but will hinder the economic growth and generate a new reality of [digital] illiteracy (E4)," argues Nicolaides. The UK is the fifth most digitally advanced nation in Europe (Finland comes top) according to data from the European Union. It is already home to a large number of big tech businesses and the UK has more tech "unicorns" (start-up businesses valued at $1 billion or more) than any other European country. According to Tech Nation, a UK network focused on accelerating the growth of digital businesses across the country, in 2018 the UK continued to attract tech talent, employing 5 per cent of all high-growth tech workers globally. In Europe this places the UK behind Germany but ahead of Sweden, France, Denmark and the Netherlands. Despite (A) this encouraging news, the UK is still facing a significant digital skills shortage. A report from the Open University last year highlights the extent of the problem and its impact on UK companies, with nine in 10 organisations admitting to having a shortage of digital skills. Jules Pipe, London's deputy mayor (5) for planning, regeneration and skills, says the capital needs workers with advanced digital skills. "More than half of the capital's start-ups say a lack of highly skilled workers is their main challenge, while emerging industries -

至急お願いいたします🚨 生物の質問です。 ミトコンドリアの経路についての説明だと思うのですが、電子オーバーフローモデルと電子分布モデルの違いを教えていただきたいです。 また、どういう仕組みなのか、何故このように電子が流れるのかも教えていただきたいです。 UQ poolはユ... Read More

(A) Electron overflow model (considered out-of-date) Alt UQ pool Alternative oxidase inactive. Alt No alternative pathway activity Cytochrome pathway unsaturated Cyt (B) Electron distribution model (reflects current thinking) UQ pool Cyt Alternative pathway active Cytochrome pathway saturated Alt Alternative oxidase active Alt UQ pool Cyt Cyt Figure 14.33 Two models for regulation of electron flow through the alternative oxidase. (A) In the electron overflow model, no appreciable electron transfer through the alternative pathway takes place until electron flow through the cytochrome pathway is at or near satu- ration. This could result from the effects of respirato- ry control, if the rate of mitochondrial ATP produc- tion exceeds its rate of utilization in the cytosol, or from some externally imposed stress, such as low temperature. Under such circumstances, the UQ pool becomes sufficiently reduced to allow electrons to flow through the alternative oxidase, the latter re- quiring that the UQ pool be 40% to 60% reduced to attain significant activity. (B) In the electron distribu- tion model, the alternative and cytochrome path- ways both show significant activity at low levels of UQ pool reduction, and electrons are distributed be- tween the two pathways on the basis of the relative activities of each pathway. The activity of the alter- native oxidase under these circumstances is thought to be regulated by the action of a-keto acids and by reduction/oxidation of the intermolecular disulfide bond, as well as by additional regulatory mecha- nisms not yet characterized.

CUTTING EDGE 1-05 絶滅危惧種の選定 Have you ever heard of the "quagga"? Perhaps not, but you may have seen a zebra before. (1)The zebra is a horse-like animal with 形M distinctive black and white stripes covering its body. The quagga was a member of the zebra family, brownish in colour with white stripes FOS around the neck and the front part of the body. (2)It is often said that quagga looked like "zebra which had forgotten to put on their pajama trousers." Quaggas lived in Southern Africa, but they died out in the 19th century due to overhunting. We can now only see their wild beauty as 3stuffed specimens. Some researchers, however, have tried to "revive" the quagga. Because of its attractive stripe pattern, the quagga has gathered much attention from those interested in animal conservation. Those who would like to see the animals walk around the savannas again have conducted the Quagga Project for over thirty years in South Africa. Fas 模様のない (3)It turns out that the quagga is genetically close to the plains zebra. In this project, researchers have attempted to selectively breed plains zebras: they chose plains zebras which have fewer stripes and look slightly like quaggas. Baby zebras born to a slightly quagga- like mother and father may look more like the quagga, with a 13 significantly reduced number of stripes. (4)This project has achieved a certain level of success, producing several lovely baby zebras which have striking similarities [to ] the quagga. . However, should we be happy about this? (5)While this new generation of zebras is visually impressive, it only resembles [X]
