長文空所A｜図書館の夜間自習室を試す

A community library wanted to offer more places where teenagers could study after school. It considered keeping the main building open until nine every weekday. However, the managers were unsure whether enough students would use the rooms and whether the library could pay for additional staff. They therefore decided to test different opening hours [18] making a permanent change.

The trial showed that Thursdays were popular, while attendance on Mondays was low. Some students explained that they had sports practice on Mondays, and others said the last bus left too early. [19], the library asked residents about transport and invited parents to comment on the proposed timetable. Managers also recorded the extra electricity and staffing costs.

At the end of the trial, the library chose longer hours on Thursday evenings and shorter hours on the other weekdays. It will review attendance again after examinations [20] students’ schedules may change at different times of the year.

長文空所B｜昔の手紙を公開するまで

A local museum received copies of handwritten letters from several families. Students working at the museum wanted to place all the letters on a public website immediately. The curator explained that some letters contained private details and that ownership of the physical paper did not automatically give the museum permission to publish the text online. Staff began checking the original sources [21] the letters could be made public.

They also found that a few dates written on old labels were incorrect. Instead of changing the labels without explanation, the museum preserved the original descriptions and added notes based on verified records. [22], the team recorded what was still uncertain rather than inventing exact dates.

Once the necessary rights checks were complete, approved copies were added to the website. The museum continued preserving the paper originals in a controlled room [23] future researchers could examine physical details that digital images might not show.

説明文｜学校の屋上菜園を運営する

Some secondary schools are turning unused rooftops into small vegetable gardens. These gardens may help pupils learn where food comes from and encourage cooperation among classes. A garden can also provide a practical place for lessons about rainfall, temperature, and plant growth. However, rooftop gardens require careful planning. The building must be able to support the extra weight of soil and water. Students also need protection from unsafe areas, and plants must be watered during holidays. One school arranged for engineers to assess its rooftop before beginning a trial. Instead of immediately planting a large garden, it started with lightweight containers and invited a trained adult to supervise. After several months, students reported that they enjoyed the lessons. The school also recorded maintenance time, water use, and the number of plants that survived. Managers said that positive feedback alone was not enough to prove that the garden would remain practical during every season. They planned another trial before deciding whether to expand the project.

問26｜Why did the school consult engineers first?

1. To choose a new vegetable recipe
2. To assess whether the rooftop could safely support a garden
3. To determine the price of school uniforms
4. To install a railway timetable

問27｜What did the school record during the trial?

1. Only the students’ favorite vegetables
2. Only the cost of the building
3. Maintenance time, water use, and plant survival
4. The number of nearby shopping centers

問28｜Why did managers plan another trial?

1. They knew every rooftop was unsafe
2. They had finished measuring all seasonal effects
3. The plants were all destroyed immediately
4. Positive reactions alone did not establish long-term practicality

説明文｜地域の修理品の共有サービス

A community center began lending simple household tools so residents would not have to buy equipment they needed only occasionally. Supporters believed that sharing tools could reduce waste and help families save money. The first month was popular, but the center soon discovered problems. Some tools were returned damaged, and others were kept longer than the permitted loan period. Staff needed time to inspect equipment, record repairs, and explain safe use. One volunteer suggested letting people collect tools without any checks to make the service faster. The manager rejected that idea because damaged equipment could put borrowers at risk. The center introduced a booking calendar and clear return rules. It also stopped lending tools that required specialist training until qualified instructors could be found. The managers decided to compare savings for users with repair, staffing, and replacement costs over six months. They explained that borrowing activity alone did not show whether the program was safe or financially sustainable.

問29｜Why did the center reject lending tools without checks?

1. The town prohibited all household repairs
2. No residents wanted to borrow equipment
3. Damaged tools could endanger borrowers
4. The center already had too many instructors

問30｜What happened to tools requiring specialist training?

1. They were given away immediately
2. They were removed from lending until qualified instructors were available
3. They were used only by children
4. They were left in the outdoor return box

問31｜What would managers use to evaluate the program?

1. Only the total number of borrowed tools
2. Only the age of the volunteers
3. Only the cost of buying equipment
4. User savings together with repairs, staffing, and replacement costs
