説明文｜町の水道漏れを減らすための調査

Water can be wasted when pipes under roads develop leaks. Finding a small leak is difficult because the water may not reach the surface. One town began using sensors that listen for unusual sounds in pipes. Officials hoped that the devices would help workers find problems before they became serious. During a six-month trial, workers repaired several leaks after receiving alerts from the sensors. The town reported that the total amount of water used had decreased. However, officials were careful not to attribute the entire decrease to the sensors. The town had also asked residents to use less water during a dry season, and rainfall had been different from the previous year. The town plans to compare areas with and without the sensors while accounting for the age of the pipes and changes in water use. It will also record the cost of maintaining the devices. Officials explained that the sensors might be useful, but they need reliable evidence before expanding the system to every neighborhood.

問28：Why did the town use sensors in water pipes?

1. To detect unusual sounds that might indicate leaks.
2. To make every pipe visible from the road.
3. To stop all residents using water.
4. To measure how many cars passed nearby.

問29：What did workers do during the trial?

1. They repaired several leaks after sensor alerts.
2. They replaced all pipes without inspection.
3. They turned off the town’s water supply.
4. They removed the sensors immediately.

問30：Why could the reduction in water use have other causes?

1. The town had no residents.
2. Residents were asked to conserve water and rainfall also differed.
3. The sensors produced unlimited water.
4. All buildings were closed for six months.

問31：What does the town need before expanding the system?

1. Only reports from the sensor manufacturer.
2. A guarantee that no leak will ever occur.
3. An immediate decision without further data.
4. Reliable comparisons that also consider maintenance costs.

全文和訳：道路の下にある水道管に漏れが生じると水が無駄になる。小さな漏れは水が地表に出ないため見つけにくい。ある町は管の異常な音を聞き取るセンサーを導入し、問題が深刻になる前の発見を目指した。半年間の試行で警報を受けて複数の漏れを修理し、水の総使用量も減った。しかし同時に乾期の節水を住民へ呼びかけ、降水量も前年と違っていたので、減少のすべてをセンサーの効果とは言えない。今後はセンサーのある地域とない地域を、管の古さと使用量の変化を考慮しながら比較し、維持費も記録する。全地域への拡大には信頼できる証拠が必要だ。

Writing｜英文要約と意見英作文

問32：英文要約（45〜55語）

In some cities, people who are learning a musical instrument have few opportunities to practice with others. Renting a rehearsal room can also be expensive. To address these problems, some community centers have begun offering shared music rooms at low cost. Residents can reserve a room for a limited time and sometimes borrow basic equipment. The programs may help beginners practice, connect musicians of different ages, and encourage local performances. However, the rooms need careful management. Sound can disturb nearby residents, equipment may be damaged, and popular time slots can become difficult to book. Organizers therefore need clear rules about noise and reservations, as well as regular equipment checks. They must also consider whether enough people can use the rooms fairly.

取り組みの仕組みと利点・運営上の制約を45〜55語で要約してください。本文にない意見は加えません。

問33：意見英作文（80〜100語）
