長文空所A｜避難所の地図を更新する

A coastal town had printed maps showing how residents could reach emergency shelters. The maps were widely used, but a new footbridge was built and several roads were changed. Officials decided to ask residents to test the routes [18] distributing an updated version.

Some residents reported that the shortest route to a shelter included stairs, making it difficult for people using wheelchairs or strollers. The town asked engineers to inspect alternative roads. [19], the new map included a longer but step-free path as well as the route most people used.

The town also prepared printed copies of the update because a power failure might prevent some residents from viewing online information. Officials plan to review the maps every year [20] people can rely on accurate route information when conditions change.

長文空所B｜地域の修理講座を続ける

A community center held a workshop where volunteers helped residents repair simple wooden furniture. The first session was popular, and several people suggested adding lessons on electrical appliances. The instructor explained that repairing electrical devices required specialist knowledge, [21] the center decided to keep those items outside the beginner program.

Instead, the organizers offered guidance on checking loose screws and cleaning wooden surfaces safely. They recorded which problems participants had and asked about the usefulness of the lessons. [22], they calculated the extra staff hours and equipment costs that would be needed for monthly workshops.

Subject: Submission and presentation details

Dear Students,

Each participating team will give a six-minute presentation and answer questions for three minutes. Everyone must submit a written summary of no more than 250 words by Monday, November 16. Students using slides must also send their files by Thursday, November 19, so our staff can test whether they work on the presentation equipment.

An automatic email confirming that a file was received does not mean it has passed this technical test. We will contact teams that need to make changes. Please keep your original file available.

The forum takes place at the community science center on Saturday, November 21. Registration starts at the east entrance at 9:00 a.m., and every team should complete registration by 9:30 a.m. The first presentations begin at 10:00 a.m.

Groups that use electrical models must obtain approval from the safety coordinator in advance. Printed posters may be used if a model cannot be approved.

問24｜What must every team submit by November 16?

1. A slide file
2. A written summary
3. An approved electrical model
4. A printed admission ticket

問25｜What is true about an automatic upload email?

1. It guarantees a place in the first session

説明文｜駅前の共同受取ロッカー

Some towns have installed shared parcel lockers near railway stations. Delivery companies can leave several packages at one location instead of visiting every home individually. Supporters hope this will reduce repeated driving and make collection more convenient for commuters.

However, a shared locker may not help everyone. People who live far from a station could need to make an additional trip, while large or refrigerated items require special handling. One town studied how many parcels were collected and whether customers picked them up during journeys they were already planning to make.

The study found that some users collected parcels on their way home, but others drove several kilometers only to reach a locker. The town therefore decided to compare the delivery distance saved with the extra travel by customers. It also asked residents about accessibility and the convenience of collection hours.

Officials have not decided whether to expand the program. They plan to evaluate both environmental effects and practical benefits rather than assume that fewer delivery stops always lead to lower emissions.

問26｜What is one possible advantage of shared parcel lockers?

1. Customers never need to travel
2. Drivers may make fewer separate home stops
3. All packages can be stored without restrictions
4. Stations can eliminate delivery companies

問27｜Why does the town study customers’ journeys?

1. To increase the price of railway tickets
2. To make commuters drive longer distances
3. Extra collection trips may reduce environmental savings
4. To stop residents from receiving parcels

問28｜What will the town do before expanding?

1. Approve all locker installations immediately
2. Require everyone to use the station
3. Ignore maintenance and access needs
4. Evaluate environmental effects and convenience together

説明文｜図書館が行う古い地図のデジタル化

A local library is creating a digital collection of maps that show how its town developed over the last hundred years. Visitors can enlarge images and compare the positions of roads and public buildings at different times. Staff also add notes explaining old place names that are no longer in use.

Digitization is useful, but it does not eliminate the need to preserve original maps. The paper, ink, and handwritten corrections may provide information that a digital picture cannot fully capture. Some maps also require permission before copies can be placed on a public website.

The library therefore checks publication rights, records where each map came from, and stores originals in suitable conditions. When it finds a mistake in a historical label, staff add an explanation instead of silently changing the source. They distinguish the original information from later interpretations.

The collection will be expanded gradually. Managers hope to make historical materials easier to study while protecting both the documents and the rights of those connected with them.

問29｜Why should the original maps still be preserved?

1. Digital images cannot be enlarged
2. The town has stopped using maps
3. Physical details may contain information not fully captured digitally
4. Every old road is still open

問30｜How does the library handle mistakes in old labels?

1. It deletes every original map
2. It adds explanatory notes without silently changing the source
3. It invents new dates without checking
4. It hides all research materials

問31｜What is the library’s overall goal?

1. To publish everything immediately regardless of rights
2. To make paper archives disappear
3. To replace all professional historians with software
4. To improve access while preserving originals and respecting rights
