説明文1｜Learning From Local Weather Records

Large weather agencies provide forecasts for broad regions, but the conditions at individual schools can be different from those at nearby stations. For example, a school surrounded by buildings may be warmer than a park a short distance away. Some schools have begun recording local temperature and rainfall to study these differences.

Students use simple instruments and record measurements at the same times each day. They learn how to organize data and notice changes over the seasons. (18), the records may help students understand why weather information from one location does not always describe conditions at another. Teachers encourage them to compare their observations with official records.

Reliable comparisons require consistent methods. If one thermometer is placed in direct sunlight while another is kept in the shade, their readings may differ for reasons unrelated to the area’s general temperature. (19), students are taught to check where instruments are placed and to record any changes in measurement conditions.

The project is useful for learning, but it cannot replace official weather alerts. School instruments may stop working or provide incomplete results. Teachers therefore ask students to confirm important information with reliable sources (20) making claims about dangerous weather.

説明文2｜Creating Safer Routes to Public Spaces

Public spaces such as parks and community centers can improve life in a town. However, they are less useful if residents cannot reach them safely. Some roads near these facilities have narrow sidewalks, difficult crossings, or entrances that are hard to use for people with disabilities.

One town asked residents of different ages to describe the routes they used to reach a community center. The survey showed that some older residents avoided a steep path, while parents with young children worried about traffic at a particular crossing. (21), planners decided to examine walking routes before spending money on new facilities inside the center.

Improving access can involve several kinds of changes. The town considered better lighting, lower curbs, and clearer signs. Yet not every proposal was suitable for every location. (22), officials tested some changes temporarily and collected feedback instead of installing everything permanently at once.

After a trial period, the town measured whether more residents were able to reach the center comfortably. Planners also reviewed maintenance costs. They concluded that new features would be useful over time (23) the town could keep them safe and affordable to operate.

長文1｜E-mail｜A Digital Storytelling Festival: Updated Instructions

To: Student Project Teams

From: Nora Wilson, Town Cultural Center

Subject: Final submission and presentation arrangements

Thank you for registering for the Digital Storytelling Festival on June 12. We originally planned to use the cultural center’s second-floor theater, but its audio system is being repaired. The presentations will now take place in the first-floor meeting hall. The festival date and the opening time of 10:00 a.m. have not changed.

Each team may bring up to four student presenters. You must send the final video file and a short written description by June 5. The file should be under 100 megabytes. Please use our submission website rather than sending an email attachment. An automatic receipt will confirm that your file arrived, but the review team must separately approve content that includes photographs or recordings of other people.

On the festival day, team leaders must arrive by 9:15 a.m. to test equipment. The center will provide a computer and a projector. Teams requiring unusual cables should bring them for inspection by staff. Family members are welcome to attend as visitors, but only registered team members may operate the presentation equipment.

If a team cannot participate, please contact us by June 8 so that another school may use the available time. A final program will be emailed to every registered team on June 10. We look forward to sharing your stories about local life.

問24

Why was the presentation location changed?

1. The festival date was postponed.
2. The first-floor hall was closed.
3. The theater’s audio system is under repair.
4. The event was moved outdoors.

問25

What does the automatic receipt show?

1. The file has arrived, but some content may still need approval.
2. All photographs have been approved.
3. The team’s presentation time has been changed.
4. The judges have awarded a prize.

問26

Who is allowed to operate the presentation equipment?

1. Any family member.
2. All audience members.
3. Only cultural center visitors.
4. Registered team members.

問27

Why should teams report their inability to attend by June 8?

1. To receive a larger file limit.
2. To allow another school to use their time.
3. To change the opening time.
4. To request free unusual cables.

長文2｜Article｜Why Cities Are Testing Electric Mini-Buses

In some towns, ordinary buses are too large to travel easily along narrow residential streets. Older residents may have to walk long distances to reach the nearest main bus stop. To help with these problems, some local governments are testing small electric buses that can operate on shorter routes.

Supporters say the vehicles may improve access to shops, clinics, and public buildings. Because electric buses produce no exhaust from their engines while driving, they may also improve local air quality. However, operating them is not free. Charging equipment, driver wages, repairs, and electricity all cost money. The vehicles also need enough battery power to complete their journeys reliably.

One town began a six-month trial with two mini-buses. Officials collected information about the number of passengers, waiting times, and how often the vehicles arrived on schedule. They also asked residents whether the stops were easy to reach. Early feedback suggested that the service helped some people make short trips, but the buses were sometimes nearly empty in the middle of the day.

To improve the project, the town adjusted several departure times and provided a clearer route map. However, managers avoided claiming that the new vehicles would automatically reduce overall car use. A passenger might previously have walked or used another bus rather than driven. Measuring a change in car traffic would require additional evidence.

Researchers argue that long-term decisions should consider passenger access, operating costs, reliability, and environmental results together. A successful service does not necessarily need the greatest number of buses. It needs a route and timetable that serve residents’ actual needs while remaining affordable to operate.

問28

Why might mini-buses be useful in some towns?

1. They eliminate the need for all public transport.
2. They can serve streets that are difficult for large buses.
3. They require no drivers or maintenance.
4. They always carry more people than ordinary buses.

問29

What was one problem observed during the trial?

1. Every bus arrived late.
2. No residents were interested in any route.
3. The vehicles could never be charged.
4. Some buses had very few passengers at certain times.

問30

Why could the town not assume car use had decreased?

1. Passengers might previously have walked or used other buses.
2. Electric buses produce exhaust while driving.
3. The route map was printed in color.
4. No information about passengers was collected.

問31

What does the article recommend for long-term decisions?

1. Increasing bus numbers regardless of cost.
2. Judging success only by launch-day visitors.
3. Considering access, cost, reliability, and environmental effects.
4. Operating routes without collecting feedback.

Some schools are offering workshops where students learn practical digital skills, such as organizing files, creating clear presentations, and checking the reliability of online information. Supporters say these skills are useful for school assignments and may help students prepare for future work. For example, learning to check sources can prevent students from repeating false claims in reports.

However, workshops require time, trained teachers, and suitable devices. Not every student has a computer or a quiet place to practice at home. If schools simply add more online assignments, they may create unfair differences between students rather than improve learning.

To address these concerns, some schools provide shared devices during lessons and offer alternative ways to complete tasks. They also ask students for feedback and check whether their skills improve over time. Effective programs focus on meaningful learning instead of the number of technology-based activities.
