説明文｜町の共用傘サービスの評価

A town installed umbrella-sharing stands at several public buildings. Residents could borrow an umbrella and return it at another stand. Officials hoped this would make short journeys more convenient during sudden rain. During the first month, a large number of umbrella loans were recorded. Some staff claimed that the scheme was already serving a large number of different people. However, the system counted each loan rather than each person. One resident could borrow an umbrella repeatedly during the month. The town also experienced more rainy days than usual, which may have increased demand for the service. Some umbrellas were not returned promptly, and staff needed additional time to inspect damaged items. Officials plan to compare use during months with similar weather and examine the number of distinct users without collecting unnecessary personal information. They will also calculate replacement and maintenance costs before buying more umbrellas.

問28：Why was the umbrella-sharing system introduced?

1. To prevent all rain from falling.
2. To make short trips easier during sudden rain.
3. To replace every public bus.
4. To sell umbrellas to each resident.

問29：What did the system count in the first month?

1. The exact number of new residents.
2. Umbrella loans, not different people.
3. Every household’s travel distance.
4. Only umbrellas bought by the town.

問30：What other condition may have increased demand?

1. Every stand was closed.
2. The town had no rain at all.
3. There were more rainy days than usual.
4. Umbrellas were prohibited in public.

問31：What will officials examine before expanding?

1. Distinct users, similar weather, and replacement costs.
2. Only the colors of umbrellas.
3. The number of students in the map workshop.
4. The cost of new train stations.

本文の全文和訳：町は複数の公共建築物へ共有傘のスタンドを設置した。住民は借りた傘を別のスタンドで返せるため、突然の雨でも短い移動を便利にできることを期待していた。初月には貸出回数が多く、異なる多くの住民が利用した証拠だと考える職員もいた。しかし数えられたのは人ではなく貸出行為で、同一人物が何度も借りる場合がある。さらに通常より雨の日が多く、需要が高まった可能性がある。返却が遅い傘もあり、損傷点検の作業も増えた。町は似た天候の月で利用を比べ、不要な個人情報を集めず異なる利用者数を調べ、交換・維持費を計算してから増設する予定だ。

Writing｜英文要約と意見英作文

問32：英文要約（45〜55語）

Some libraries lend portable audio players to visitors who want to listen to recorded stories or local history materials. These devices can help people access information without owning specialized equipment and may support different learning needs. However, shared audio players require regular cleaning, charging, and safety checks. Users also need clear instructions about volume and returning accessories. Popular materials can be difficult to reserve, while repairs and replacement parts can be expensive. Libraries should therefore examine demand and maintenance costs before expanding the lending program.
