長文1：New Ways to Share Unused Equipment

People sometimes buy equipment that they use only a few times a year. Such purchases can be expensive, and storing the items takes up space at home. To address these concerns, some communities have introduced lending programs for tools, camping gear, and other useful objects.

Residents can borrow equipment for a short period instead of buying it. This may help households save money and reduce unnecessary production. (18), borrowing a tent for a single weekend can be more practical than purchasing one that will remain unused for months. Some programs also allow residents to try an activity before deciding whether to invest in their own equipment.

However, the programs need reliable systems for checking items. A damaged tool could be dangerous, and lost equipment may be costly to replace. (19), organizers often require basic safety guidance for certain items and inspect them after each return. They also record how frequently each item is borrowed.

Supporters hope these services will make useful resources available to more people. (20), they recognize that a lending program can only continue if maintenance costs remain manageable. Organizers therefore start with a small collection and expand when demand and resources justify it.

長文2：Protecting Local History in Digital Form

Small museums often hold photographs, letters, and recordings that tell stories about their communities. These materials can be difficult to access, especially for people who live far away. Creating digital copies may help more people study them without handling fragile originals.

Digital projects require more than taking clear photographs. Museum staff must identify when and where items were created and check whether they can legally be shared online. (21), a photograph displayed in a museum may still require additional permission before being published on a public website. Accurate descriptions are equally important, because mistakes can spread quickly when digital collections are copied.

Some institutions invite local residents to help identify people or places shown in old photographs. Their memories can be valuable, but different people may remember events differently. (22), museums compare these memories with written records and mark details that remain uncertain instead of presenting every recollection as established fact.

Digitization can be useful, but it has ongoing costs. Staff need to update files, maintain websites, and protect records from being lost. A project is more sustainable (23) its organizers plan for preservation and access beyond the first year.

長文1：Email｜Community Science Fair: Revised Instructions

To: Student Science Teams

From: Emma Harris, Community Science Fair Office

Subject: Venue and equipment arrangements

Thank you for entering this year’s Community Science Fair. The event will take place on March 21 at the Riverside Community Center. We originally planned to use the upstairs exhibition room, but it will be closed for repairs. All displays will instead be arranged in the ground-floor hall. The date has not changed.

Each team may bring up to five presenters. Visitors are welcome to watch the demonstrations, but only registered students and approved supervisors may handle the equipment. The center will provide tables and standard electrical outlets. Teams that need special connectors or extension cables should bring them and ask the safety staff to check them before the doors open.

We previously asked teams to send equipment requests by March 5. That deadline remains in place. If your request has been received, you will get an automatic email. This message confirms receipt only; it does not mean the equipment has been approved. A separate confirmation of approved requests will be sent by March 12.

Team representatives should arrive by 9:15 a.m. for registration and a final safety briefing. The fair opens to visitors at 10:00 a.m. If you cannot attend, please contact the office rather than asking another person to use your registration card. We look forward to seeing your projects.

問24

Why are the displays being moved?

1. The fair has been postponed.
2. The original room is closed for repairs.
3. The community center has canceled the event.
4. The ground-floor hall is being rebuilt.

問25

Who may handle demonstration equipment?

1. Any visitor who asks politely.
2. Only the safety staff, with no students.
3. Registered students and approved supervisors.
4. All family members accompanying the teams.

問26

What does the automatic email confirm?

1. That an equipment request was received.
2. That all requested equipment is approved.
3. That a student has passed a safety test.
4. That a presenter may arrive after ten.

問27

What must team representatives do before the fair opens?

1. Send equipment requests by March 12.
2. Wait for visitors to arrive at ten.
3. Ask a friend to use their registration card.
4. Arrive by 9:15 for registration and a briefing.

長文2：Article｜Why Communities Restore Urban Streams

Many cities have streams that run through residential and business areas. In the past, some streams were covered or placed inside concrete channels to make room for roads and buildings. These changes helped cities expand, but they also reduced the natural habitats available to fish, insects, and birds.

Some local governments are now trying to restore parts of these waterways. They remove unnecessary barriers, plant vegetation along the banks, and create spaces where rainwater can spread safely during storms. These measures may improve local environments and offer residents places to walk and learn about nature. However, restoring a stream can be expensive, and construction may temporarily disrupt traffic or nearby businesses.

Before starting a project, engineers examine the land and consider how heavy rainfall could affect surrounding buildings. They also speak with residents about access and safety. A restoration plan that looks attractive on paper may cause problems if it blocks an important walking route or increases flooding somewhere else. For this reason, some cities begin with a small area and monitor it before expanding the work.

Researchers evaluate projects by measuring water quality, plant and animal populations, and how safely floodwater moves through the area. They emphasize that a stream with more attractive banks is not necessarily healthier. Changes in water quality may take years to become clear, and weather conditions can affect the results.

Community groups sometimes organize walking tours or student observations after restoration. These activities may help residents understand why waterways matter. However, researchers warn that public interest alone cannot prove environmental success. A good long-term project combines careful engineering, ongoing ecological measurement, and opportunities for local people to participate.

問28

What is one possible benefit of restoring streams?

1. It can help create habitats for living things.
2. It removes every need for road construction.
3. It guarantees that all businesses will grow.
4. It makes every rainstorm harmless.

問29

Why do engineers study surrounding land before work begins?

1. To reduce the number of residents permanently.
2. To stop all walking tours.
3. To avoid causing flooding or access problems elsewhere.
4. To make construction take as long as possible.

問30

Why is an attractive stream not necessarily a healthier stream?

1. Scientists can measure only the appearance of water.
2. Water quality and ecological recovery need separate evidence.
3. Plants never improve the environment.
4. Water quality changes immediately after planting.

問31

What do researchers emphasize about long-term success?

1. Counting participants in walking tours is sufficient.
2. Construction should finish without any measurements.
3. Local people should be excluded from projects.
4. Engineering, continued measurement, and community involvement are important.

Some schools are creating outdoor learning spaces where students can study science, art, or literature outside ordinary classrooms. These areas can offer opportunities to observe plants, collect environmental information, and work on creative projects. Teachers say that learning in different settings may make some subjects easier to understand and encourage students to ask more questions.

However, outdoor lessons are affected by the weather. Schools also need to consider safety, accessibility, and whether the activities support clear educational goals. For instance, a garden may be difficult for students to use if pathways are not suitable for wheelchairs or there is little shade in hot weather.

To address these problems, schools may begin with small projects and collect feedback from students and teachers. They can create alternative indoor activities for bad-weather days and regularly check whether the spaces are useful. Effective outdoor education depends on thoughtful planning rather than simply moving classes outside.
