長文空所A｜学校の学習室の利用を広げる

A secondary school wanted more students to use its study rooms after class. It first introduced an online booking system and expected that the new service would make reservations easier. However, some families had unreliable internet connections, and others found the website difficult to understand. The teachers therefore collected feedback [18] extending the system to all study areas.

The trial showed that many students appreciated the new booking options. However, some people still preferred speaking with a staff member. [19], the school kept a front-desk booking method and created larger-print instructions. Staff also checked how long different reservation methods took and whether rooms were used efficiently.

The school decided to compare accessibility, attendance, and staffing costs over several months. It would not assume that the service worked equally well for everyone [20] more representative evidence was available.

長文空所B｜町の歩道の照明を改善する

A town wanted people to feel safer walking near a park after sunset. The council considered installing more lights along the main path. Engineers first inspected the electrical equipment and examined how much extra energy the project might use. They wanted to avoid making a permanent change [21] checking whether the plan was feasible under current safety requirements.

During the trial, some residents said the path was easier to use, but people in nearby homes were worried about bright lights entering their windows. [22], the town tested lower lamps and shields that directed light toward the path rather than nearby buildings.

Managers measured electricity use, recorded maintenance costs, and interviewed residents. They said that a useful project also needed to be financially sustainable [23] popularity alone did not prove it could continue indefinitely.

説明文｜市民向けの工具貸出

A community center began lending basic household tools so residents would not need to purchase equipment for occasional projects. Supporters hoped the service would reduce waste and make repairs more affordable for families. During the first month, the tools were borrowed frequently. However, some were returned damaged, and others were kept beyond the permitted loan period. Staff also discovered that some users did not understand which tools required specialist training. The center introduced clearer safety instructions and a reservation calendar. The manager asked staff to inspect tools after every return and record the time and cost of repairs. Electrical equipment was kept out of general lending until trained instructors could be available. Users who wanted to return tools outside opening hours were told to contact staff rather than leave equipment outdoors. After several months, the managers decided to continue a limited trial. They said that popularity alone did not prove the program was safe or financially sustainable, and they needed more evidence about maintenance costs and access for different users.

問26｜What was one problem during the first month?

1. Every tool was returned early
2. Some tools were damaged or overdue
3. No resident borrowed anything
4. All equipment was brand new

問27｜Why were some electrical tools excluded from general lending?

1. They had no educational value
2. The center wanted only wooden tools
3. They needed specialist training and supervision
4. All customers asked to buy them

問28｜What did managers decide after the trial?

1. To make the program permanent immediately
2. To stop every household repair
3. To ignore maintenance costs
4. To continue testing while collecting safety and cost evidence

説明文｜古写真のデジタル収蔵

A regional museum collected historical photographs donated by residents. The museum created digital copies that visitors could enlarge on screens. Curators also preserved original prints because paper quality and handwriting could contain details missing from scans. Before posting a photograph online, the museum checked whether public use was permitted. Some pictures showed identifiable people, so staff examined privacy questions. Several labels on the old photographs had dates that seemed inconsistent with building records. Instead of changing the old labels without explanation, curators kept the originals and added notes supported by verified documents. The museum offered printed descriptions for visitors who preferred not to use screens. Technicians tested adjustable text sizes and the accessibility of the new information desk. The director then evaluated both maintenance costs and visitor feedback. Although many visitors liked the digital collection, the museum did not conclude that one format would be suitable for everyone. It planned to improve both printed and digital access.

問29｜Why were the physical photographs preserved?

1. They could not be digitized at all
2. The museum had no display screens
3. Original materials could contain details missing from digital copies
4. Every photograph required a paper ticket

問30｜What did curators do when dates seemed inconsistent?

1. They immediately deleted the photographs
2. They kept original labels and added verified notes
3. They invented exact new dates
4. They ignored official building records

問31｜Why did the museum keep printed guides?

1. Digital guides were completely banned
2. No one used electronic displays
3. Printed documents never need updates
4. Different visitors had different access preferences
