NEW TREASURE Stage3 Readの4択消去法32問｜言い過ぎ・数値・時制・因果のひっかけを全128選択肢で解説

Paragraph 1. A science club wanted to create a map showing where students noticed different sounds around their school. They borrowed a simple sound-level meter and chose three locations: the school gate, a covered walkway, and a park beside the school. On a Tuesday, they recorded readings of 71, 62, and 54 decibels at the three locations. They wrote the time and weather beside each reading. Their teacher warned them that a single reading did not show how noisy a place was throughout a whole week.

Paragraph 2. The students noticed another limitation. The reading at the gate had been taken before morning classes, while the reading at the park had been taken after lunch. A member wanted to say that the gate was always the noisiest place because its reading was highest. Others suggested repeating the measurements at the same time of day. That would make comparisons more useful, although traffic, wind, and other conditions could still change.

Paragraph 3. The club then asked fourteen students whether the map would help them choose quiet places to read. Nine said they thought it could be useful, three were unsure, and two said they did not need it. The question measured expectations, not whether the map had actually improved anyone’s concentration or health. The team also noticed that a student might prefer a nearby place even if its recorded sound level was higher.

Paragraph 4. For the next trial, the club decided to repeat observations on several days, compare locations at similar times, and add a short note explaining what a sound reading could and could not show. They wanted the map to be informative rather than promise that every visitor would have the same experience.

Paragraph 1. On Monday, the student activities office at an imaginary school emailed an invitation to an English presentation workshop. The message said that the workshop would take place on Friday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in Room 202. Students were invited to request places through an online form by Thursday at noon. The room could hold sixteen participants, and submitting a form did not guarantee a place. Accepted students would receive a separate confirmation email.

Paragraph 2. On Wednesday morning, the office discovered that Room 202 needed maintenance. It sent an official update: the workshop would still be on Friday, but it would run from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Room 304. The maximum number of participants and the Thursday-noon deadline remained unchanged. Students who had already submitted a request did not have to apply again. The office added that no one should assume an application had been accepted until the confirmation email arrived.

Paragraph 3. Some students had printed the original notice and shared it with friends. One student suggested leaving those copies on the noticeboard because the event was still happening on Friday. However, another student pointed out that visitors following the older notice would arrive at the wrong room and time. The group printed a short correction and placed it beside the old sheets, clearly identifying which details had changed.

Paragraph 4. Later that week, the school asked volunteers to read the updated notice and explain what they would do next. The volunteers agreed that a useful announcement should clearly separate requested places from confirmed places, changed information from unchanged conditions, and a plan from a decision. The office did not report that all sixteen places had been filled.

Paragraph 1. A student history club found an old photograph of a market street. A handwritten label on the back said ‘summer festival’, but it gave no year. One member thought the picture had been taken in 1962 because a shop sign looked familiar. Another member pointed out that the same sign might have remained on the street for several years. The club agreed that an estimate should not be displayed as a confirmed date.

Paragraph 2. The students visited a public archive. They found a newspaper from 1965 describing a festival on the same street. It included the name of a shop that appeared in the photograph, but the newspaper did not reproduce the picture or name its photographer. The record showed that the festival and shop had existed in 1965. It did not by itself prove that the photograph had been taken in that exact year.

Paragraph 3. Later, a former resident remembered going to the summer festival when she was young. She was willing to describe the event, but she could not remember the year of the photograph. She asked that a summary of her comments be used rather than the complete audio recording. The club showed her the proposed summary and corrected one small detail before displaying it.

Paragraph 4. The exhibition placed the photograph beside a copy of the newspaper article and the approved summary. Its caption read ‘Date not confirmed; possibly connected to the local summer festival.’ The students had made the display informative without turning a plausible story into an unsupported fact. Visitors were invited to suggest further sources if they knew of them.

17. Q17. What information was missing from the photograph’s label?

    1. The festival’s name
    2. The year
    3. The fact that a shop existed
    4. The picture itself

    正解：B. The year

    本文に戻る理由：Back label said summer festival but no year.

18. Q18. Why was the 1962 estimate uncertain?

    1. The photo was digital
    2. No shop signs were visible
    3. The club had never seen the picture
    4. A shop sign could have remained for several years
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：D. A shop sign could have remained for several years

    本文に戻る理由：The sign cannot precisely date the photo; other statements contradict or unsupported.

19. Q19. What did the 1965 newspaper confirm?

    1. A festival and shop were there at that time
    2. The photo was taken in 1965
    3. The photographer lived there
    4. The photo had been published
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：A. A festival and shop were there at that time

    本文に戻る理由：Newspaper documents festival/shop only, not the photo’s date.

22. Q22. What did the club do before showing her summary?

    1. Publish it without asking
    2. Rewrite her entire life story
    3. Add invented quotations
    4. Let her review and correct it
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：D. Let her review and correct it

    本文に戻る理由：Reviewed wording and corrected detail; consent process.

23. Q23. Which caption reflects the evidence?

    1. Date not confirmed; possible link to festival
    2. Photographed in 1962 without doubt
    3. Photographed by a named photographer in 1965
    4. All details verified
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：A. Date not confirmed; possible link to festival

    本文に戻る理由：No exact year / author determined, so cautious caption.

24. Q24. What is the best lesson?

    1. The oldest guess must be used
    2. Personal memories are always false
    3. Evidence, interpretation, and permission should be distinguished
    4. Newspapers cannot document historical events
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    本文に戻る理由：All three are distinguished; rest unreasonable.

Paragraph 1. At an imaginary school, a student group wanted to understand how much food was left after lunch. The cafeteria agreed to let the group record the number of trays returned with uneaten food on two days. The students did not photograph individual pupils or collect names. They also agreed to avoid commenting on anyone’s personal dietary or health needs.

Paragraph 2. On the first day, thirty trays were returned, and twelve had some food left. On the second day, forty trays were returned, and fourteen had leftovers. One student announced that the situation had become worse because fourteen was greater than twelve. Another suggested checking the share of trays with leftovers. The first day’s rate was twelve out of thirty, or forty percent. The second day’s rate was fourteen out of forty, or thirty-five percent. The total number of trays differed between the days.

Paragraph 3. The teacher reminded the group that these figures could describe only the two observed lunches. The menu was not identical, and the amount of food left on each tray had not been weighed. It would therefore be inaccurate to say that the school had reduced the weight of wasted food by five percent. The figures concerned the percentage of trays with any leftovers, not the weight of the leftovers.

Paragraph 4. The students wrote a short report explaining the counts, denominators, and limits. For another study, they proposed recording different kinds of observations while protecting privacy and respecting the cafeteria’s safety rules. They did not recommend that students eat less. Their goal was to improve the quality of information, not to judge individuals.

25. Q25. How many trays were returned on the first day?

    1. Twelve
    2. Forty
    3. Thirty
    4. Fourteen

    2. The number fell and the rate rose
    3. The number rose while the rate fell
    4. The rate stayed exactly the same
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：C. The number rose while the rate fell

    本文に戻る理由：12→14 count up, 40%→35% rate down.

30. Q30. Why couldn’t the club claim a five-percent reduction in the weight of wasted food?

    1. Leftover food was not weighed
    2. The group lost all its notes
    3. Every tray was weighed
    4. All meals were identical
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：A. Leftover food was not weighed

    本文に戻る理由：Only tray incidence counted; weight not measured. Rate difference is five percentage points.

31. Q31. Which privacy practice did the group use?

    1. Publish everyone’s names
    2. Photograph all eaters
    3. Record medical conditions
    4. Avoid collecting names or individual photos
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：D. Avoid collecting names or individual photos

    本文に戻る理由：Explicitly no names or individual photos.

32. Q32. Which is the best conclusion?

    1. The menu always causes waste
    2. The two rates were recorded, but food weight and causes were not established
    3. Every student should eat less
    4. The second lunch had zero leftovers
    正解・誤りの選択肢を消す根拠

    正解：B. The two rates were recorded, but food weight and causes were not established

    本文に戻る理由：Observations and evidence limits retained; others overclaim.
