独自長文1｜放課後の運動機会は誰に届くか（約211語）

英文・第1段落

A fictional district introduced free after-school sports sessions for teenagers at a public gym. Officials hoped the program would give students more opportunities for physical activity, especially those who could not afford private clubs. Initial registration was high, but some pupils could not attend because they lived far away or had responsibilities at home. Organizers decided to examine attendance instead of treating registration as proof that the program was equally accessible to everyone.

英文・第2段落

Staff offered sessions on different days and asked students about transport and preferred activities. Some wanted team sports, while others felt more comfortable with individual exercise. The organizers avoided requiring competitive performance as a condition of participation. They also considered the costs of trained supervision, equipment, and safe travel after dark. A short questionnaire showed that many participants enjoyed the sessions, but satisfaction alone could not demonstrate lasting improvements in health.

英文・第3段落

After one term, the district reviewed who had attended regularly and who had stopped coming. Some students said that changes in transport made participation easier, while others still faced time constraints. Officials planned to compare access, activity levels, and operating costs before expanding the program. They concluded that a successful service should offer realistic opportunities for different pupils, not simply record a large number of initial registrations.

英文要約・慶英会模範（63語）

A district offered free after-school sports sessions to improve access to exercise. Registration was high, but some students faced transport or family constraints. Organizers varied activities, avoided competitive requirements, and considered supervision and safety. They found that enjoyment did not prove lasting health benefits. Before expanding, officials planned to examine regular attendance, activity levels, costs, and the needs of students unable to participate.

独自長文2｜活動量計は運動の成果を証明できるか（約215語）

英文・第1段落

A fictional school sports department tested wearable devices that recorded students’ steps and activity periods. Teachers hoped the information would help pupils reflect on their daily routines rather than compete for the highest numbers. Some students enjoyed seeing progress, but others worried about inaccurate readings when cycling or playing sports that involved little arm movement. Staff therefore described the data as estimates, not perfect measures of physical effort.

英文・第2段落

The school considered displaying individual rankings, believing they might encourage participation. Parents and students expressed privacy concerns, especially because the devices could reveal patterns of daily activity. The department decided not to publish individual records. It instead asked students to review their own data with teachers and discuss how sleep, enjoyment, and personal circumstances affected their routines. Teachers emphasized that more recorded steps did not necessarily mean safer or more appropriate exercise for everyone.

英文・第3段落

At the end of the trial, several participants said they had become more aware of their activity. However, the school lacked reliable evidence that the devices alone caused healthier behavior over time. Students were also participating in other sports programs. Officials planned to assess data accuracy, privacy, and the quality of physical education before purchasing additional devices. They regarded wearable technology as a possible learning aid rather than a substitute for professional guidance.

1. Every device recorded medical diagnoses.
2. Some movements could lead to inaccurate activity readings.
3. No one wore a device.
4. All recordings were identical.

Q7. Why did the school reject public rankings?

1. It wanted students to stop all sports.
2. The devices were illegal.
3. Individual records raised privacy concerns.
4. Every parent requested rankings.

Q8. What did teachers caution about step counts?

1. More steps do not necessarily equal suitable exercise for everyone.
2. The devices always measure effort perfectly.
3. Every activity requires arm movement.
4. Cycling was forbidden.

Q9. Why was it hard to credit the devices alone for improvement?

1. There were no participants.
2. The devices measured all health outcomes.
3. No other activities were available.
4. Students also took part in other sports programs.

Q10. How did the department view the technology?

1. A replacement for all teachers.
2. A potential learning aid needing accuracy and privacy checks.
3. An automatic guarantee of health.
4. A tool for public competition only.

段落別日本語内容

第1段落：架空の学校は歩数や活動時間を記録する装着型の機器を試した。順位を競わせるより自分の活動を見直す手がかりにする目的だったが、自転車や腕の動きが少ないスポーツでは測定が不正確な場合があると分かった。データは推定値で完全な活動量ではない。

第2段落：学校は個人順位の公開も検討したが、生活習慣が推測されるプライバシーの懸念から個人の記録は公表しなかった。生徒は自分の記録を教師と確認し、睡眠・楽しさ・個人事情も踏まえた。歩数が多いほど全員にとって適切な運動だとは限らない。

第3段落：終了時には活動を意識するようになった生徒がいたが、他の運動制度も同時に行われており、機器だけで健康習慣が改善したとは証明できなかった。精度、個人情報、体育の質を評価してから機器追加を判断する。

重要語彙

• wearable device：装着型機器
• step count：歩数

Q10 正解B：A potential learning aid needing accuracy and privacy checks.。英文根拠：possible learning aid rather than … substitute for professional guidance。解説：補助教材としての利用。

英文要約・慶英会模範（63語）

A school tested wearable devices to help students understand their activity, but some movements produced inaccurate readings. Privacy concerns led teachers to avoid public rankings and discuss results individually. Higher step counts did not automatically mean safer exercise. Since other sports programs were also running, staff could not prove that devices caused improvements. They planned further checks before using the technology more widely.

独自長文3｜公共運動施設をどう公平に使うか（約225語）

英文・第1段落

A fictional city planned to renovate a public sports center that served school teams, older residents, and community groups. Some clubs requested more evening practice hours, while others wanted affordable daytime exercise classes. The building also required repairs to its changing rooms and entrances. Officials hoped that better facilities would attract more people, but they acknowledged that an increase in bookings might not show whether underserved residents had better access.

英文・第2段落

The city asked users to describe their needs and invited groups that had never reserved the center to explain why. Some people said fees were too high, while others were concerned about transport or step-free entry. A committee proposed allocating part of the schedule to introductory activities and publishing clear booking rules. However, commercial clubs warned that losing evening slots could affect their programs. The council decided to test the timetable rather than immediately promise identical hours to every group.

英文・第3段落

After a trial period, some new users attended classes, but the center’s total income changed little. Officials noted that revenue was only one measure of value and that accessibility improvements could matter even without a large increase in bookings. They planned to compare costs, participation, safety, and long-term maintenance before making the schedule permanent. Their goal was to balance different uses of a public facility without treating the most frequent customers as its only beneficiaries.

4択内容一致・独自5問

1. They might not show whether excluded residents gained access.
2. There were no clubs.
3. All users were professional athletes.
4. The city had already closed the center.

Q12. What barriers did nonusers identify?

1. Only a lack of competitions.
2. Fees, transportation, and entrance accessibility.
3. The absence of any buildings in the city.
4. Too many private lessons.

Q13. Why was a timetable trial chosen?

1. Every group wanted the same hours.
2. All evening users left the city.
3. Different groups had competing needs.
4. There was no reservation system.

Q14. What did officials say about revenue?

1. It was the only measure of success.
2. Revenue had doubled.
3. Every new class made a profit.
4. Value could include accessibility even without a large revenue increase.

Q15. What did the city plan to evaluate?

1. Only the number of private clubs.
2. Costs, participation, safety, and maintenance over time.
3. Only daily ticket sales.
4. Only the color of new equipment.

段落別日本語内容

第1段落：架空の市は学校、年配の住民、地域団体が使う公共運動施設の改修を計画した。夜間の練習枠を増やしたいクラブもいれば、安価な昼間の運動を望む人もいた。予約が増えても利用しにくかった人のアクセスが改善したとは限らない。

第2段落：これまで予約したことのない住民にも意見を求めると、料金、交通、段差のない入口などに障壁があった。初心者向けの時間帯と明確な予約規則を提案したが、既存クラブには練習枠が減る懸念があり、まず試行することになった。

第3段落：試行では新しい参加者も現れたが収入の変化は小さかった。公共施設の価値は収入だけで測れず、使いやすさや安全にも意味がある。費用、参加、維持管理を長期間比較して恒久的な日程を決める。

英文要約・慶英会模範（62語）

A city considered renovating a public sports center used by different groups. Clubs wanted evening practice, while other residents needed affordable classes and accessible entrances. The city tested a new timetable after consulting users and nonusers. Some new participants attended, but revenue barely changed. Officials concluded that public value included accessibility and safety, and planned longer evaluation before adopting permanent booking rules.
