長文1｜図書館でのデジタル地図制作

Subject: Volunteer Training for the Historic Map Project

Dear Volunteers,

Thank you for your interest in helping the library prepare an online collection of old city maps. We have received more applications than expected, so we will hold two training sessions instead of one. The first session will be on Saturday, July 11, from ten to eleven thirty. The second will take place on Sunday, July 12, at the same time. Each volunteer should attend only one session.

Before any map is published online, library staff will check whether they have permission to share its digital image. Owning a paper copy does not necessarily mean that all publishing rights are available. Volunteers may help record dates, place names, and the condition of the maps, but they must not post photographs of the items on personal websites.

Training will take place in the east building. The main library building will be closed for repairs that weekend, so please use the entrance beside the bicycle parking area. You do not need to bring gloves or scanning equipment, as the library will provide them. A notebook is optional.

If you cannot attend either date, please contact us by Wednesday. We may arrange another training session later, but this has not been confirmed. The library plans to publish a small selection of maps first and ask users whether the descriptions are easy to understand before expanding the collection.

Best regards, Historic Maps Team

問24：Why are there two training sessions?

1. The library received more applications than expected
2. The original maps were all damaged
3. Two libraries will close permanently
4. Volunteers must attend both sessions

問25：What must staff check before publishing a map online?

1. Whether a volunteer has a camera
2. Whether digital publication is permitted
3. Whether every map was printed this year
4. Whether the map has at least two colors

問26：What will volunteers be given?

1. Personal websites
2. Library membership cards
3. Gloves and scanning equipment
4. A complete printed collection

問27：Which statement about additional training is correct?

1. It is confirmed for Wednesday
2. It will replace the Saturday session
3. Every volunteer must take it
4. It may be arranged but is not confirmed

長文2｜学校の通学路での交通量調査

Several schools have been studying ways to make walking routes safer for students. At one school, teachers and volunteers recorded the number of vehicles passing two crossings near the campus. The first count took place on three sunny mornings before classes began. Volunteers noticed that one crossing had heavier traffic, and some families suggested placing another sign there.

However, the school was careful not to treat the first measurements as a complete picture. Deliveries may be more frequent on certain days, and the weather can influence how many parents drive their children. The researchers also counted vehicles, not the number of students who felt unsafe. Teachers explained that these are different measures.

The school then invited students and parents to report places where drivers had difficulty seeing pedestrians. Some respondents mentioned parked vehicles near corners, while others thought students should learn safer crossing habits. The school has not decided which measures will be most effective.

Next month, the research group plans to repeat its traffic counts during different weather conditions and compare the results with the survey responses. The school will share its findings with local authorities before requesting any permanent changes. No new crossing or traffic sign has been approved.

問28：What did the volunteers measure first?

1. The number of vehicles at two crossings
2. How much each road repair would cost
3. How many students used bicycles
4. The number of road signs in the town

問29：Why were the first measurements insufficient?

1. The crossings were closed
2. Weather and delivery patterns may change traffic
3. Only teachers took part in the survey
4. There were no vehicles on the roads

問30：Which distinction did teachers explain?

1. Bicycles and cars are identical
2. A survey always proves a cause
3. Vehicle counts do not measure how many students felt unsafe
4. More traffic signs always reduce accidents

問31：What will the school do before requesting permanent changes?

1. Install the signs itself
2. Close both crossings immediately
3. Stop gathering information
4. Repeat counts and share findings with authorities

Writing｜英文要約と意見英作文

問32：英文要約（45〜55語）

Some towns lend portable air-quality sensors to schools and community groups. The devices allow participants to compare readings at different locations without purchasing expensive equipment. Teachers can use the results to discuss how traffic and weather may affect local conditions.

However, sensors need regular checking and proper instructions. A single reading does not show air quality throughout a year, and weather can influence measurements. Staff also need to explain that basic sensors cannot identify every harmful substance.

One town plans to evaluate how often the devices are borrowed and how much maintenance costs after six months. Officials hope to expand the lending program but have not decided whether buying more sensors would be affordable.

センサー貸出の利点、注意すべき測定・管理上の問題、今後の判断を45〜55語でまとめてください。

問33：意見英作文（80〜100語）

TOPIC: Do you think schools should provide more opportunities for students to learn basic repair skills?

賛否を選び、異なる二つの理由と具体例で論じてください。
