第3部|独自長文2篇・内容一致8問(Q35〜Q42)
Passage 1:学校給食と災害時の地域食料備蓄
Paragraph 1. The fictional city of Ormiston proposed using an expanded school-kitchen network to prepare emergency meals when disasters disrupted private food distribution. Planners argued that school kitchens had trained staff, established hygiene procedures, and facilities located across residential districts. Early community meetings showed enthusiastic support, and the mayor suggested that the plan would automatically make emergency food supplies more equitable. An independent review questioned that conclusion. Some buildings were in flood-prone areas, and the kitchens would be unavailable if their water or electricity supplies failed. Staff were trained to prepare school meals, but not necessarily to handle the demands of an emergency shelter.
Paragraph 2. The council launched a supervised pilot at two schools where backup systems were available. Volunteers practiced distributing meals and checking dietary requirements. The exercise showed that packaging and transport created greater costs than the original estimates suggested. Moreover, participants arrived at scheduled times, so queues and delays did not necessarily reflect conditions in a real evacuation. The city also found that residents with limited mobility might not be able to reach the schools, making home delivery or smaller distribution points necessary.
Paragraph 3. Ormiston proceeded with a limited expansion rather than a universal requirement. Officials decided to assess water and power resilience, food safety, accessibility, and coordination with professional responders. They emphasized that the number of meals prepared during a drill was not proof that food would reach all residents during a disaster. School kitchens could complement emergency supply systems, but the program’s long-term usefulness depended on practical delivery and independent evaluation.
Q35. Why did the reviewer dispute the mayor’s claim?
A. All schools had been permanently closed. / B. The number of public meetings was too low. / C. Some kitchens could fail during disasters and distribution might be unequal. / D. No one had ever prepared meals in a school.
Q36. What unanticipated cost emerged in the pilot?
A. Packaging and transporting meals. / B. The purchase of every school building. / C. A national textbook revision. / D. The closure of all restaurants.
Q37. Why were the exercises not definitive proof of performance?
A. They involved only professional chefs. / B. They tested no food preparation. / C. All electricity supplies failed. / D. Scheduled volunteers did not replicate actual evacuation conditions.
Q38. Which recommendation best reflects the conclusion?
A. Require every kitchen to replace existing emergency suppliers. / B. Use suitable school kitchens as a complement subject to safety and access checks. / C. Judge success only by the quantity cooked. / D. Ignore mobility barriers.
Passage 2:古い工芸技術とオンライン講座
Paragraph 1. A fictional regional craft association introduced short online courses documenting traditional woodworking techniques. The association hoped that experienced artisans could record their methods while younger people gained access to instruction without traveling. Enrollment increased quickly, encouraging organizers to claim that the industry had found a solution to declining apprenticeship numbers. However, instructors pointed out that watching demonstrations was not equivalent to performing a complex task safely. Some techniques involved machinery or materials requiring hands-on supervision, and people without suitable equipment could not practice them independently.
Paragraph 2. The association created a mixed program combining online explanations with supervised workshops. It recorded participation, the skills demonstrated during assessments, and the number of students who continued training. Because many early participants were already interested in traditional crafts, the organizers recognized that their experiences might not represent people who had never considered the profession. The association also reviewed filming permissions and the rights to reproduce designs owned by individual artisans.
Paragraph 3. After two years, a few workshops reported more apprentices, but the evidence was insufficient to attribute that change entirely to the online courses. Regional employment conditions and separate grants for small firms might also have influenced recruitment. The association continued the program but rejected the proposal to measure success solely by video views. It argued that training quality, safe practice, accessibility, and actual progress into apprenticeships were more informative indicators of whether the initiative could preserve the craft.
Q39. Why were online lessons alone considered insufficient?
A. The courses contained no explanation of woodworking. / B. Some skills required practical supervision and equipment. / C. All artisans refused to teach. / D. The regional museum had closed.
Q40. What bias affected the initial participant sample?
A. Most participants had been randomly selected. / B. Every participant came from outside the region. / C. There were no enrolled students. / D. Many participants already had an interest in traditional crafts.
Q41. Why could additional apprentices not be attributed solely to the courses?
A. Other grants and employment conditions may have contributed. / B. All workshops had stopped operating. / C. The association had not conducted any courses. / D. No participants continued training.
Q42. Which measure did the association prefer over video views alone?
A. The number of advertisements. / B. The average length of a web page. / C. Demonstrated skills and progress toward apprenticeships. / D. The number of cameras in workshops.

第3部8問|長文の日本語訳・根拠解説
Passage 1の段落別和訳
第1段落:架空のオーミストン市は災害時に学校給食施設を使って食事を提供する案を立てた。学校厨房には訓練された職員や衛生設備があり、住民も賛成したが、すべての住民に公平に食事が行き渡るとは限らない。浸水地域の建物や停電・断水では使えず、職員も避難所での提供に必要な技能をすべて持つとは限らなかった。
第2段落:非常用設備のある2校で訓練したところ、包装や配達の費用が想定以上だった。参加者は決まった時間に来ていたため、実災害の列や遅延を再現しているわけではない。移動が困難な人に届けるためには配達や分散拠点も必要だと分かった。
第3段落:市は一律導入ではなく限定的に拡大し、水・電力の耐性、食品衛生、アクセス、専門職との連携を検証する。訓練で調理した食数は災害時に住民へ届くことの証明ではない。既存の備蓄を補完する策として扱った。
Q35:C. Some kitchens could fail during disasters and distribution might be unequal. — 施設の脆弱性とアクセス格差が残る。
Q36:A. Packaging and transporting meals. — packaging and transport greater costs。
Q37:D. Scheduled volunteers did not replicate actual evacuation conditions. — 予定された参加者の行動と災害状況は異なる。
Q38:B. Use suitable school kitchens as a complement subject to safety and access checks. — 補完と条件付き評価。
Passage 2の段落別和訳
第1段落:架空の地方工芸団体は伝統的な木工技法を短いオンライン講座にした。経験豊かな職人の技術を残し、若者が遠隔で学べる利点があるが、受講者数の急増だけで後継者不足が解決するとは限らない。動画を見ることと危険な機械を安全に使いこなすことは異なり、適切な設備を持たない人は実地練習ができない。
第2段落:団体はオンライン解説と対面で監督を受ける実習を組み合わせ、参加者数だけでなく技能試験や継続者数を記録した。初期受講者には工芸に元々関心の高い人が多く、一般の若者全体の代表ではない。撮影の許可や職人が権利を持つ意匠の再利用も確認した。
第3段落:2年後に弟子入りする若者が増えた工房もあったが、地域の雇用事情や別の補助金も影響しており講座だけの成果とは断定できない。動画視聴数より、実際に得た技能、安全な実習、受講機会、弟子入りへの進展を評価する方針とした。
Q39:B. Some skills required practical supervision and equipment. — hands-on supervision and equipment are essential。
Q40:D. Many participants already had an interest in traditional crafts. — 自発的に関心のある参加者が多い。
Q41:A. Other grants and employment conditions may have contributed. — other grants and conditions confound causation。
Q42:C. Demonstrated skills and progress toward apprenticeships. — real skills and apprenticeships are outcomes。

FAQ
英検1級の抽象語は日本語訳だけ覚えればよいですか?

42問すべてが英検1級の公式問題ですか?
いいえ。公式の形式を参考に慶英会が制作した独自42問です。試験問題そのものを転載せず、独自の文章・選択肢・解説で学べるようにしています。
