長文空所A｜学校の照明と学習環境

A group of students noticed that some classrooms were much brighter than others, even when the lights were switched on. They suggested replacing every lamp immediately. Their science teacher asked them to measure the light levels first [18] understand whether the differences were caused by the lamps, the windows, or the time of day.

The students used the same measuring device at several desks. They recorded the weather and whether curtains were open. One room was especially bright in the morning but darker in the afternoon. [19], the students decided that a single measurement would not provide enough information for purchasing new equipment.

After a month, they prepared a report comparing lighting conditions and maintenance costs. They recommended adjusting curtains and replacing only some damaged lamps. The school agreed to test these changes [20] spending money on a complete new system.

長文空所B｜地域の古い地図をデジタル化する

A community library has started scanning historical maps. Staff hope the online collection will help residents understand how the town has changed. However, some maps include street names that are no longer in use. Volunteers add short notes [21] visitors can connect old names with present-day locations.

The library also checks whether each image may legally be published online. In some cases, owning a paper copy does not mean having the right to reproduce it on a public website. [22], the team keeps certain images available only for supervised research until permissions are clarified.

As the collection grows, librarians review dates and sources. They avoid changing original labels silently, even when errors are discovered. They provide corrections with explanations [23] future users can distinguish the historical source from the library’s interpretation.

Presentations start at 9:45 a.m. Please do not bring unapproved chemicals or devices that require special safety supervision. Teams with such materials should contact us before the event.

We look forward to your research presentations.

説明文｜町の食品配送と共同受取場所

Home deliveries have become more common in many towns. Some transport companies are testing shared collection points, where customers can pick up parcels while visiting shops or using the railway station. A driver may deliver many parcels to one location instead of making separate stops at several homes.

Supporters believe the system could reduce repeated driving and give customers more flexibility. However, not everyone lives near a convenient collection point. People without suitable transport may need to make an additional trip, while large or refrigerated packages may require special arrangements.

During a six-month trial, a town measured how many parcels were collected from the shared points and how far customers traveled to reach them. The organizers also asked whether people collected items during journeys they were already planning to make. This matters because the environmental benefits may be smaller if customers drive long distances solely to collect a package.

The town will compare delivery costs, customer travel, and accessibility before deciding whether to expand the system. It hopes to improve convenience without overlooking people whose circumstances make collection difficult.

問26｜What is a possible advantage of shared collection points?

1. Every customer can avoid traveling
2. All types of parcels can be stored there
3. A driver may deliver many parcels in fewer stops
4. Refrigerated items never need special handling

問27｜Why are customers’ travel distances important?

1. Long collection trips could reduce the expected environmental benefit.
2. The town wants every resident to drive more.
3. Delivery drivers are not permitted to use roads.
4. The town does not care about customers’ convenience.

問28｜What will the town consider before expansion?

1. Only how attractive the collection boxes look
2. The number of colors available
3. The price of every customer’s car
4. Delivery costs, customer travel, and accessibility

説明文｜地域の古い木橋を守る

A small town has an old wooden footbridge that connects a residential area with a public park. Residents value the bridge because it is part of the town’s history and offers a convenient walking route. After a routine inspection, however, engineers found damage in some of the supporting beams.

Some residents wanted the bridge reopened quickly, while others argued for replacing it with a modern structure. The town asked specialists to compare repair methods, safety standards, and long-term maintenance costs. Engineers explained that preserving the bridge’s appearance would not be useful if it remained unsafe. They also warned that rebuilding everything could remove features that residents wanted to protect.

The council decided to close the bridge temporarily and provide an alternative walking route. It arranged for a detailed assessment before choosing a final plan. During the review, the town will ask residents about accessibility and how they use the connection between the park and neighborhood.

The aim is to preserve historical value where possible while making safety and practical use the main conditions for reopening.

問29｜What prompted the town to reconsider use of the bridge?

1. A new shopping center opened nearby.
2. No one wanted to visit the park.
3. An inspection found damage in supporting beams.
4. The bridge had been moved to another town.

問30｜Why does the council plan a detailed assessment?

1. It wants to decide among repair or replacement options while protecting safety and value.
2. It wants to avoid asking engineers any questions.
3. It has already decided to remove every historical feature.
4. It believes appearance is more important than safety.

問31｜What is the main message of the passage?

1. The old bridge should reopen without inspection.
2. Any historic structure should be replaced immediately.
3. Walking routes are not important to residents.
4. Preservation choices must also meet safety and accessibility needs.
