問題

セクション1:自然観察:メールの情報・推論

Dear project members, Thank you for helping us notice small living things. At our meeting at the meadow, we worked with insects and prepared an insect sketch. Grace supplied a magnifying glass. Before our next meeting, please consider the following account of a problem we encountered and how we responded.

The group kept records of what they saw and where they looked. On one visit, they saw very few examples, but heavy rain had shortened the observation period. They did not interpret the low count as proof of a permanent change in the area. They decided to record the weather and time spent looking so that later comparisons would account for differences in observation conditions.

問1(5点)

What was the main purpose of the project?

  1. To advertise luxury products.
  2. To replace every activity in the town.
  3. To notice small living things.
  4. To prove that experts were unnecessary.

問2(5点)

Which outcome is mentioned in the passage?

  1. an insect sketch
  2. a national law
  3. a weather forecast
  4. a travel ticket

問3(5点)

Why was the low count difficult to interpret?

  1. Rain had reduced the time available for observation.
  2. The records already proved a permanent change.
  3. The group had never visited the area.
  4. Every observation lasted exactly the same time.

問4(5点)

What information would help future comparisons?

  1. The original approach needed no changes.
  2. Weather conditions and observation duration.
  3. Only the appearance of the final product mattered.
  4. The team should never collect further evidence.

セクション2:食と交流:活動記事の情報・推論

A student project led by Mio began at the kitchen. Its purpose was to welcome new students. Members worked with sandwiches, and the first practical outcome was a lunch menu. Mio brought an apron, but the organizer emphasized that equipment was only one part of a successful project.

The first menu offered a single option, and some visitors could not eat it. The group then invited visitors to state their dietary needs privately. They added a second option and labeled the ingredients. Attendance rose at the next event, but the group did not assume that the menu change was the only cause: the event had also been advertised more widely.

問5(5点)

セクション3:スポーツ:活動記事の情報・推論

A student project led by Taro began at the playing field. Its purpose was to welcome first-time players. Members worked with soccer, and the first practical outcome was a practice plan. Taro brought a ball, but the organizer emphasized that equipment was only one part of a successful project.

The organizer initially ranked participants by speed. This made a few experienced players enthusiastic, but several beginners stopped coming. The group introduced separate personal goals and a cooperative task. They still recorded progress, but no longer used one ranking to represent everyone's success. Different goals allowed participants to challenge themselves without treating every activity as a competition against others.

セクション5:展示と学び:体験記の情報・推論

When Saki arrived at the music room, the team already had a clear objective: to explore different sounds. Working with musical instruments, they eventually produced a sound guide. Saki contributed a recorder. The team later shared its experience with another group, emphasizing a decision that changed how they approached the work.

The group tested two descriptions of the same exhibit. One contained a long list of dates; the other asked a question and connected the object to everyday life. Visitors spent more time reading the second description. This did not prove that every visitor understood the object better. The group planned to ask visitors to explain the exhibit in their own words before deciding which description supported learning.

問17(5点)

What was the main purpose of the project?

  1. To prove that experts were unnecessary.
  2. To advertise luxury products.
  3. To explore different sounds.
  4. To replace every activity in the town.

問18(5点)

Which outcome is mentioned in the passage?

  1. a weather forecast

  3. a national law
  4. a travel ticket

問19(5点)

Why was reading time insufficient as a measure?

  1. The two descriptions concerned different exhibits.
  2. Longer attention did not necessarily show better understanding.

  4. Dates can never be useful.

問20(5点)

What additional evidence did the group plan to collect?

  1. The original approach needed no changes.
  2. Only the appearance of the final product mattered.
