次の英文を読んで、問題1～3について答えなさい。
The recent surge in remote working practices has prompted a re-evaluation of traditional office-based productivity metrics. While early proponents suggested that the elimination of commuting would lead to a direct increase in output, subsequent longitudinal studies indicate a more nuanced reality. Research conducted across several OECD countries reveals that while individual task completion rates rose by 12% on average, collaborative innovation—the process of generating novel ideas through informal interaction—saw a significant decline. This suggests that while "deep work" flourishes in isolation, the spontaneous synergy found in physical workspaces remains a critical component for industries reliant on creative breakthroughs. Consequently, many tech firms are now pivoting towards a "hybrid-priority" model to balance these competing forms of efficiency.

1.
The increase in individual productivity for remote workers was primarily driven by the time saved from not commuting.
2.
According to the research mentioned, collaborative innovation is less effective when employees work entirely from home.
3.
All tech firms have now abandoned fully remote work policies in favor of hybrid models.

次の英文を読んで、問題1～3について答えなさい。
Recent marine expeditions in the Hadal zone—depths exceeding 6,000 meters—have uncovered specialized metabolic pathways in deep-sea amphipods. Unlike their shallow-water counterparts, these organisms utilize unique enzyme variants to maintain cellular membrane fluidity under extreme hydrostatic pressure. Furthermore, while surface-level crustaceans rely heavily on phytoplankton-derived carbon, hadal species exhibit a higher dependency on "marine snow" and occasional large-scale organic falls, such as whale carcasses. This distinct dietary shift suggests that deep-sea ecosystems are more decoupled from seasonal surface fluctuations than previously assumed. However, the introduction of microplastics into these trenches threatens to disrupt these delicate, isolated food webs.

4.
Deep-sea amphipods have evolved specific enzymes to survive in high-pressure environments.
5.
Hadal ecosystems are completely unaffected by changes in surface phytoplankton levels.
6.
Microplastics are the primary cause of death for most organisms in the Hadal zone.

次の英文を読んで、問題1～3について答えなさい。
The adoption of "Zero-Based Budgeting" (ZBB) has seen a resurgence among multinational conglomerates seeking to optimize operational expenditure. Unlike traditional incremental budgeting, which adjusts the previous year’s figures, ZBB requires every department to justify all expenses from a zero base for each new period. Advocates argue this eliminates ingrained inefficiencies and "budget padding." However, critics point out that the administrative burden and the man-hours required for such meticulous justification often offset the actual cost savings. While ZBB can identify redundant processes, it may inadvertently stifle long-term strategic investment if managers prioritize immediate cost reduction over future growth.

7.
Zero-Based Budgeting is a more time-consuming process than incremental budgeting.
8.
The main goal of ZBB is to ensure that all departments receive the same amount of funding each year.
9.
Traditional budgeting methods usually involve modifying the previous year's budget.

次の英文を読んで、問題1～3について答えなさい。
The "15-minute city" concept, which aims to provide all essential services within a short walk or cycle from home, has faced unexpected socio-political backlash. While urban planners highlight the environmental benefits of reduced car dependency and improved local commerce, certain community groups express concerns regarding social segregation. They argue that hyper-localization could lead to "urban silos," where affluent districts become self-contained, further isolating marginalized neighborhoods with fewer resources. To mitigate this, some city councils are implementing "cross-district subsidies" to ensure that infrastructure improvements in wealthy areas are matched by equivalent investments in underdeveloped sectors.
