(A)雨林は地球の肺として知られているが、海を前にして、その波の飛沫を、絶え間ない潮の満ち引きを前にした時に、我々は地球が呼吸するのを感じるのである。科学者の言葉では、海とは地球上のすべての生命の源である。哲学者によれば、海とは、生命が最大の恐怖を抱くもの、すなわち、未知なるもの、支配されざるもの、が具現したものでもある。
(B)有名無名を問わず、どんな画家や彫刻家でも、なぜ彼らが彼らの生業をしているのかを問われたら、同じ答えを出すであろう。それはどうしようもない衝動からであると。芸術家を志望する人に対して何か助言があるかと彼らに尋ねれば、多分に、他の選択肢が全くないと思う場合を除いて、芸術家としての道を求めないように警告されるだろう。

〈III〉
University students need to learn from as many academic fields as possible, leading to a wider perspective of their own field. This ability is important for them, as at university they have to face questions with no clear answers. With creating human clones, for example, medical students think in terms of technology, but students of philosophy find ethical problems in it. What is important is for them to discover there are different approaches to the same problem, and possibly work together to find better solutions. (85 words)

(A) Nevertheless, even if you forget about these questions, it does not mean that they have been answered. Sometimes you happen to recall them, or find them more mysterious. To tell the truth, philosophy is all about reexamining fundamental questions that you might have forgotten about without knowing it.
(Bイ) It does not follow that when writing fiction, writers are allowed to choose whatever they want to write about. Then, what if your subject is about the departed? Perhaps you are allowed to write more freely about someone who passed away centuries ago or someone whose life has been thoroughly investigated as a historically significant person. But what if this is not the case?
(Bロ) Since it is humans who interview other people, write news stories, and release them, not all media coverage is always true. Moreover, considering how many people it reaches, it is only natural, even important, that some news articles or programs should be criticized.
