2025年度第3回準1級解答

Scientists use biologgers as a method to gather information about animals’ biological condition and surrounding environments. Supporters claim that these devices allow researchers to investigate animals which live in inaccessible areas or are difficult to observe. However, critics argue that stress caused by biologgers may alter animals’ behavior and reduce data reliability. Moreover, their size and weight may interfere with animals’ activities necessary for survival, sometimes leading to early deaths.

分解して見ていきましょうか。

3段落ですが、4文ですね。

分けるとこうですね。

第一段落

Scientists use biologgers as a method to gather information about animals’ biological condition and surrounding environments.

まず、やることは本文から該当文を抜くことです。（文中の不要な箇所は端折ります）

第一段落

scientists ~ study animals.

One way ~ is by attaching biologgers

gather a variety of data

related to the animals’ body

includes ~ the environments.

第二段落

Supporters say biologgers

Some animals live in places that are hard for humans to work in

Other animals are scared of humans

can be used to get data about such animals.

第三段落

Nevertheless, critics

Some researchers have found that the size and weight of devices can make it more difficult for animals to do important things.

This difficulty could result in the animals’ early deaths.

これらをつなげていきます。

There are many scientists that study animals by attaching biologgers. They gather a variety of data related to the animals’ body and the environments.

Supporters say with biologgers, a wider range of animals can be studied. While some animals live in places that are hard for humans to work in and other animals are scared of humans, they can be used to get data about such animals.

Nevertheless, critics believe that data from biologgers cannot always be trusted. Also, some researchers have found that the size and weight of devices can make it more difficult for animals to do important things. In consequence, this difficulty could result in the animals’ early deaths.

これで112語です。語数の指定は60語～70語なので、削ります。（2025年度より語数は目安でなく指定となっています）

Scientists study animals by attaching biologgers. They gather data related to the animals’ body and the environments.

Supporters say a wider range of animals can be studied. They can be used to get data about animals that are hard to reach for humans.

However, critics believe that data from biologgers cannot always be trusted. Also, the size and weight of devices can make it more difficult for animals to survive.

70語！

言い回しを少し変えます。

Researchers study animals by using biologgers. They collect data associated with the animals and the environments they live in.

Various kinds of animals can be studied. Also, they can be used to obtain data about species that are difficult to reach.

Nonetheless, some think that we cannot always rely on data from biologgers. Plus, the size and weight of devices may make it hard for the animals to live.

これで69語です。

どうでしょう。まず本文から該当文を抜き出すことが先決です。

それをつなげるだけで合格点はもらえると思います。

慣れていなければ、抜き出してつなげることに集中してください。

次に言い回しを変えるのが難しいなら、語順かえずに似た意味の単語を入れ替えるだけでも良いです。

例）Scientists -> Researchers

なお、要約の過去問が増えてきましたが、だいたいパターンが見えてきました。

ただし、各段落の抜き出し箇所は微妙に変わります。

今回は、第一段落から複数、第二段落から2つ、第三段落から2つでした。

ただし、キーワードは変わっていません。

However、Moreover、Thusの後ろは抜き出し箇所です。（直後とは限りません）

要約はまず慣れないと鉛筆が一切動かないことになります。
