説明文｜地域公園の夜間照明の利用実績

A city installed solar-powered path lights in a small park. Officials hoped that residents would feel more comfortable walking after sunset. During the first month, more evening visits were counted near the new lights than before. Some employees concluded that the park had attracted many new visitors. However, the city had also extended the park’s opening hours that month. Regular visitors may simply have stayed longer or arrived at different times. The counting equipment recorded visits, not the number of different people. In addition, a nearby public event had brought visitors to the area on several evenings. The city plans to compare evenings with similar opening hours and events. It will also test how well the lights operate after cloudy weather and calculate maintenance costs before adding more lights.

問28：What was the purpose of solar path lights?

1. To make evening walking more comfortable.
2. To close the park after sunset.
3. To replace all city streetlights.
4. To stop residents visiting public parks.

問29：What did the counting equipment measure?

1. Evening visits, not distinct individuals.
2. Only newly registered park visitors.
3. The amount of electricity used in every house.
4. Every person’s name.

問30：What could explain some of the additional visits?

1. The park had been permanently closed.
2. All regular visitors were prohibited.
3. Longer opening hours and nearby events.
4. Every event in the city was canceled.

問31：What will officials check before buying more lights?

1. Only the color of park benches.
2. Comparable visits, cloudy-weather performance, and costs.
3. How many clocks were made in the museum.
4. The number of bicycles in another city.

全文和訳：市は小さな公園の道へ太陽光の照明を設置し、日没後に快適に歩けることを期待していた。初月には夕方の来訪回数が以前より多く、新しい人が増えたと考える職員もいた。しかし同じ月に開園時間も延ばされ、常連が長く滞在したり別の時刻に訪れたりしただけかもしれない。計測器が数えたのは来訪回数で異なる人数ではない。近くの公共行事も一部の夜に客を呼んでいた。市は開園時間と行事が似た夜を比較し、曇天後の照明の作動と維持費を確認してから増設する計画だ。

Writing｜英文要約と意見英作文

問32：英文要約（45〜55語）

Some museums now let visitors borrow digital magnifiers to examine copies of small historical objects and documents. The devices may make details easier to see without touching fragile originals. However, magnifiers require charging, careful cleaning, and instructions suitable for different users. A limited number of devices can make reservations difficult during busy periods. Staff must check accessories after each loan and ensure that the equipment is stored safely. Museums should gather feedback and compare maintenance costs before purchasing additional magnifiers.

電子拡大鏡貸出の利点と維持管理・予約の制約を45〜55語でまとめましょう。

問33：意見英作文（80〜100語）

TOPIC: Do you think students should learn more about keeping historical records for future generations?
