長文空所A｜町の多言語案内を改善する

A town had become popular with visitors from other countries. To help them reach public facilities, the town installed information screens at the railway station. The screens displayed maps and translated directions. Many tourists appreciated the service, but some could not use the screens because they had difficulty reading small text. The town decided to collect feedback [18] expanding the system to more locations.

After examining the comments, staff created larger-text options and printed maps. They also asked a qualified translator to review important safety instructions because an automatic translation might not express the intended meaning accurately. [19], the town began checking whether routes shown on the maps were accessible to people using wheelchairs and strollers.

After a short trial, more visitors reported finding the information useful. However, officials did not assume the changes would suit everyone. The town planned a broader review [20] different users might have needs that the first group of respondents had not represented.

長文空所B｜学校の教材交換会

A secondary school wanted to reduce waste by organizing a textbook exchange. Students could donate books they no longer needed and receive suitable used books in return. At first, the student council planned to accept every textbook. However, teachers explained that some materials had outdated information and that not all books were appropriate for every grade. The organizers introduced quality checks [21] allowing students to select books.

During the trial, volunteers sorted the books and noted which subjects were most popular. Some families said the service helped them save money, while others had trouble finding the correct editions. [22], the council added clearer labels showing the subject, edition, and intended school year.

At the end of the term, the council evaluated the program’s benefits and storage costs. It decided to continue with a limited collection [23] assuming that every donated book was suitable for reuse.

説明文｜街の雨の日の移動手段

A town introduced a service that let residents borrow umbrellas at railway stations. Supporters believed the program would help people who were surprised by rain and reduce the need to buy cheap umbrellas for occasional use. During the first month, many commuters used the umbrellas, but the organizers discovered several problems. Some umbrellas were never returned, and others were damaged. The supply at popular stations was often too low on rainy evenings. Volunteers had to move umbrellas between stations and check their condition. The town introduced a return reminder and placed clearer instructions near collection points. It also started recording how many umbrellas were borrowed, how many were returned, and the cost of replacements. The managers explained that a high number of loans did not automatically show that the service would be financially sustainable. After three months, the town decided to continue a limited trial instead of expanding immediately. It would compare the benefits with maintenance and transport costs before making a longer-term decision.

問26｜What problem occurred at popular stations?

1. Umbrellas were never needed there
2. Umbrella supplies often became insufficient on rainy evenings
3. Every station had unlimited umbrellas
4. Trains stopped during all rainy days

問27｜What information did managers begin recording?

1. Only the color of umbrellas
2. Only the size of the stations
3. Loans, returns, and replacement costs
4. The number of nearby schools

問28｜What decision was made after three months?

1. Close all stations immediately
2. Give every umbrella away
3. Expand the project to every city without checking costs
4. Continue a limited trial while evaluating costs and benefits

説明文｜町立公園の新しい遊歩道

A small town planned a walking route through its public park. The shortest proposed path crossed a steep section of land, while a longer path provided step-free access and places to rest. Engineers inspected both routes and assessed the risk of flooding after heavy rain. Some residents initially preferred the shortest path because it seemed more convenient. However, families using strollers and visitors using wheelchairs explained that the steep section would be difficult to travel through. The council asked these residents to test the longer route and report any problems. It also calculated maintenance expenses and examined how many people visited the park at different times of year. Staff noted that a route used heavily on one sunny weekend might not be equally suitable in winter. The town selected the longer accessible route for a further trial, but it did not yet make the design permanent. Managers wanted additional evidence on safety, cost, and year-round use before approving construction.

問29｜Why did some families oppose the shortest route?

1. It passed through the library
2. The path had no trees
3. It included a steep section difficult for some users
4. It was too close to a market

問30｜What did the council ask residents to do?

1. Purchase construction materials
2. Test the longer route and report problems
3. Cancel all park visits
4. Choose the final path without inspection

問31｜Why was the design not made permanent yet?

1. The town had no interest in accessibility
2. Everyone preferred stairs
3. The engineers had not found any possible route
4. More evidence about safety, costs, and seasonal use was needed
