読解A｜図書館の電子資料

A school library initially offered only printed worksheets for its extra reading program. After a few months, teachers added digital versions for pupils who preferred using tablets. The school principal had previously managed a similar program at another institution and recommended checking accessibility before expanding it. The library subsequently introduced downloadable files and kept paper copies for families with unreliable internet connections. After a year of testing, it eventually decided to make both formats a regular part of its teaching support. Managers continued checking repair costs and usage rather than assuming that digital materials would work for every family.

問37｜What was offered at the very beginning?

問38｜What was the final decision after a year?

読解B｜街の歴史橋の修理

A town initially planned to preserve every stone in a historic footbridge. Engineers subsequently inspected the structure and found that two sections were seriously damaged. The project leader had previously worked on similar restoration projects and recommended keeping original materials where they could meet safety requirements. After repeated reviews and public discussions, the town eventually chose to replace the unsafe sections while preserving the rest. The engineers also created a step-free alternative route for people who could not use stairs during repairs. Officials explained that preservation and safety needed to be considered together.

問39｜What changed after the inspection?

問40｜Why was original material not always kept?

読解C｜放課後の地域講座

A community education center initially offered a free English workshop once a month. The director had previously organized adult classes and expected that families would prefer shorter sessions. After collecting feedback, staff subsequently introduced a thirty-minute option and printed practice sheets. Some pupils attended more regularly, but the new program also required additional staff time. The center faced funding difficulties for several months. Eventually, a local grant allowed the center to continue a limited version while collecting more evidence about costs and attendance. The director noted that the grant was temporary and did not guarantee future funding.

問41｜What did the center introduce after receiving feedback?

問42｜Does the grant guarantee permanent funding?

読解D｜科学班の水質調査

Students initially thought that a new riverside path had caused a change in water quality. Their teacher asked them to compare readings taken at similar depths and times. The group had previously collected measurements after a heavy storm, whereas later readings were recorded during dry weather. They subsequently repeated the experiment with better controls and found that the difference was smaller than before. The team eventually presented both sets of findings and explained the limitation of the first experiment. It did not say the path was certainly the cause, because the evidence remained incomplete.

問43｜Why was the first comparison limited?

問44｜What did the group eventually present?
