指導サンプル

6月25日の長崎大学医学部学士入試の出題英文のもと記事を使って、基礎力チェックをしてみましょう。まず、音読してください。[「黙読」の場合も頭の中で音をだす]　下線部はあまり意識せずに読んで概略を読み取ってください。

Our analyses of orangutans suggest that not only does culture---social learning of special skills---promote intelligence, it favors the evolution of greater and greater intelligence in a population over time. Different species vary greatly in the mechanisms that enable them to learn from others, but formal experiments confirm the strong impression one gets from observing great apes in the wild: they are capable of learning by watching what others do. Thus, when a wild orangutan, or an African great ape for that matter, pulls off a cognitively complex behavior, it has acquired the ability through a mix of observational learning and individual practice, much as a human child has garnered his or her skills. And when an orangutan in Suaq has acquired more of these tricks than its less fortunate cousins elsewhere, it has done so because it had greater opportunities for social learning throughout its life. In brief, social learning may bootstrap an animal’s intellectual performance onto a higher plane.
