長文2｜新しいコミュニティーバスの実証

A city has begun testing a small community bus that connects two residential areas with a railway station. The bus runs every thirty minutes during daytime hours and stops near a medical center and a public library. The city hopes it will help people who do not drive, although the route does not cover every neighborhood.

In the first month, officials recorded 2,400 passenger trips. However, this number does not mean 2,400 different people used the bus. A person might ride twice in one day, and some passengers use the service several times each week. The city also collected feedback from 160 passengers who chose to complete a short questionnaire. Many of those respondents said the service was useful, but officials cannot assume that all passengers share the same opinion.

The trial requires money for drivers, fuel, and regular vehicle checks. Some residents suggested running buses in the evening, when workers return home. Others worried that extending the schedule could increase costs without attracting enough passengers. The city has decided to test one additional evening trip on Fridays, rather than changing every day’s timetable.

Officials will study passenger numbers and expenses over the next three months. They will then decide whether to keep the new evening trip and whether other changes are practical.

問28：What is the purpose of the community bus?

1. To connect residential areas and the station
2. To replace every train
3. To offer free overnight tours
4. To serve only office workers

問29：Why doesn’t 2,400 represent unique passengers?

1. No tickets were sold
2. People may make multiple trips
3. All trips were canceled
4. The bus operated only one day

問30：What decision has the city already made?

1. Add buses every evening
2. Remove the medical center stop
3. Test an extra Friday evening trip
4. Expand the route to every neighborhood

問31：What will officials examine before making further decisions?

1. Only the color of the buses
2. The number of complaints on one day
3. Driver salaries alone
4. Passenger numbers and expenses over three months

Writing｜英文要約・意見英作文

問32：英文要約（45〜55語）

Some towns offer public bicycle repair stations near parks and train stations. People can use basic tools to make small repairs or adjust bicycle seats without buying equipment. These stations may help cyclists deal with minor problems during their journeys and encourage more people to use bicycles.

However, the equipment needs maintenance. Tools may be damaged or stolen, and stations should be placed where users can work safely. Town officials also need to consider repair costs and whether the stations are accessible to people with different needs.

One town plans to compare the number of repairs and maintenance expenses after a six-month trial. Officials hope to install more stations but have not yet decided whether the program should be expanded.

修理設備の利点、課題、拡大前の検証を45〜55語で要約してください。

問33：意見英作文（80〜100語）

TOPIC: Do you think public libraries should offer more educational events on weekends?

意見を明示し、異なる二つの理由と具体例を入れて80〜100語で書きます。
