慶英会 塾長｜慶應義塾大学卒・英検1級
中高一貫校の学校英語・NEW TREASURE・英検対策を専門とするオンライン個別指導塾です。塾長紹介
英検2級の長文内容一致問題は解けるのに、英文要約になると書けない。反対に、要約は書けるのに4択で本文の細部を落としてしまう。そんな場合は、同じ英文を「情報を探す読解」と「主題をまとめる要約」の両方で使う練習が効果的です。長文に書いていないことを足さず、可能性・予定・事実の強さを保ちながら学びます。
慶英会では、7つの独自説明文を用意しました。各長文につき内容一致4択4問（合計28問）と45〜55語の英文要約1題（合計7題）をセットにし、正解根拠・誤答の考え方・模範英文・残した情報を詳しく示します。いずれも慶英会の独自教材で、英検公式問題の転載ではありません。
結論｜内容一致で根拠を確認し、その根拠を3〜4文へ圧縮する
- まず本文を読んで、話題・利点・課題・今後の対応を大づかみにする。
- 内容一致4択で、原文の根拠がある選択肢を選ぶ。
- 正解の根拠と主題が一致しているか確認する。
- 本文の主要情報だけを使い、45〜55語で要約する。
- 模範英文を読んだ後、語数・主語・時制・限定語を自己点検する。
4択を解いた後に要約することで、細部の事実と全体の主題を切り分ける練習になります。ただし、実際の英検2級で内容一致問題と英文要約が同じ英文から出題されるという意味ではありません。異なる課題を同じ独自素材で学び直す教育上の設計です。
英検2級の公式形式｜長文内容一致8問・英文要約1題
英検協会・2級試験内容では、長文内容一致選択は8問、英文要約は1題、意見英作文も1題です。ReadingとWritingを合わせて85分です。2026年度の公式過去問の要約指示は45〜55語です。本教材では7長文・内容一致28問・要約7題を独自に用意しており、本番の問題冊子の構成を再現したものではありません。
4択と要約では「必要な情報」が違う
| 技能 | 問われること | 失点しやすい点 |
|---|---|---|
| 内容一致 | 日時・対象・理由・計画・例外を正確に特定する | someをallへ、mayをwillへ変える |
| 英文要約 | 主題・主要な利点・課題と対応をまとめる | 細かい例だけを書き、主題が抜ける |
| 両方共通 | 誰が何をした／しようとしているかを保つ | 予定と実施・事実と推測を混同する |
独自7長文・内容一致28問・英文要約7題【全解答】
各長文の設問を先に読む・本文を先に読む、どちらが自分に合うかも比較してみてください。7つは異なる英文なので、初見の問題として利用できます。まず模範要約を見ずに取り組みましょう。
長文1｜移動図書館と郊外の住民
A city library has introduced a small mobile library that visits neighborhoods far from its main building. The vehicle carries books for children and adults, and librarians help residents reserve titles that are not on the shelves. Previously, some residents needed to take two buses to reach the library.
Many families welcome the new service because they can borrow books close to home. It may also help older residents who find long journeys difficult. However, the mobile library cannot carry as many books as the main building, and severe weather sometimes prevents the vehicle from traveling.

長文2｜学校のエネルギー表示装置
A school has placed a digital display near its entrance to show how much electricity the building uses each day. Students can compare energy use on different days and discuss possible reasons for changes in science lessons. Teachers hope the display will encourage students to think more carefully about electricity.
At first, several classes suggested that turning off unused lights might reduce consumption. The school tried this idea for a month. However, it was difficult to measure the exact effect because outdoor temperatures and heating needs also changed during the same period.
The school plans to collect data for a longer time before making a report. Some teachers also want to add a display for water use, but they have not received funding for that project.

長文3｜博物館の静かな見学時間
A local museum began testing quieter visiting hours on one morning each week. During these hours, some recorded announcements are turned off, and the number of visitors is limited. The museum designed the trial for people who find crowded, noisy rooms difficult to enjoy.
Several visitors have said that the quieter environment helps them spend more time looking at exhibits. The museum also provides written explanations because some visitors prefer reading information to listening to audio guides. However, reducing visitor numbers means that fewer tickets can be sold during the trial hours.
Staff are examining feedback and costs before deciding whether to make the quieter hours a permanent program. They may change the reservation system if demand becomes higher than the museum can manage.

長文4｜地域の緊急案内を多言語化
A coastal town has started placing emergency information signs in several languages near popular walking routes. The signs explain where people should go if officials announce a storm warning. Local volunteers helped the town identify phrases that visitors may not understand easily.
The signs could make important information clearer for travelers, but they have limitations. Reading printed instructions can be difficult at night, and some visitors may not know where the nearest sign is located. The town has therefore added simple maps to its visitor information website.
Officials will hold a practice event next month to see whether participants can follow the new directions. Until then, they cannot conclude how well the signs will work during a real emergency.
内容一致4択（4問）
Q1.Why were the new signs introduced?

長文5｜地域の買い物配送と予約枠
A group of grocery stores has begun offering a shared delivery service to residents who have difficulty carrying heavy bags home. Customers can order groceries online or by telephone. Volunteers and shop workers deliver the items on two afternoons each week.
The service helps some older residents and families without cars. However, delivery slots fill quickly, and the stores cannot promise that every order will arrive on the day it is placed. Shop owners are also trying to keep costs low so that the service remains affordable.

長文6｜地域劇場の字幕付き公演と利用者の理解
A regional theater began offering captions during selected performances so that visitors who had difficulty hearing could follow the dialogue. The captions were displayed on a small screen near the stage. Some families welcomed the change because they could attend performances together more comfortably. Theater staff hoped the service would also help people learning Japanese as a second language.
However, the first trial had several problems. Visitors sitting near the back could not always read the captions, and some lines appeared too late. The theater received more requests for accessible seats than it could provide. Although attendance increased during the trial, the organizers did not know whether the captions caused the increase because a popular actor was also performing that month.
The theater moved the caption screen higher and adjusted the timing of the text. It also offered a clearer reservation guide and kept printed summaries available. Before expanding the service, managers plan to compare equipment costs, feedback from visitors who did not attend, and how well people understood the performances. They will not claim a lasting improvement from ticket sales alone.

長文7｜町の暑さ観測と日陰づくり
A town asked volunteers to measure temperatures along walking routes during summer. Some routes had many trees, while others passed through areas with little shade. Officials wanted to identify places where older residents and young children might have difficulty walking safely on hot days. They also hoped the observations could guide decisions about where to plant trees.
At first, volunteers used different thermometers and measured temperatures at different times. One route seemed considerably cooler, but the town could not know whether the difference was caused by shade or by measurement conditions. Another problem was that the route with more trees was closer to a public drinking-water station, which might influence how comfortable visitors felt.
The town supplied the same type of thermometer to all volunteers and asked them to record measurements at matching times. It also collected comments from people who avoided the routes in hot weather. The town has not decided where to plant additional trees. Officials will examine the measurements over several summers, maintenance costs, and accessibility before approving a larger project.
先に4択に答え、本文の根拠に戻って確認してください。

A local history center asked volunteers to translate short descriptions of old photographs into several languages. The aim was to help visitors who could not easily read the original Japanese labels. Staff kept the Japanese texts and printed versions available.
Some descriptions contained uncertain dates and place names that had changed over time. Volunteers sometimes gave different translations. Rather than choosing one answer at random, trained staff compared the descriptions with historical records and asked two volunteers to check difficult passages independently.
The center marked dates that could not be verified. Staff will ask visitors questions about the photographs to examine whether the translations improve understanding. Before adding more languages, they will also examine translation costs and the needs of visitors who speak less common languages.
