問題

セクション1:庭づくり:活動記事の情報・推論

A student project led by Aki began at the school garden. Its purpose was to help butterflies. Members worked with flowers, and the first practical outcome was a flower bed. Aki brought a watering can, but the organizer emphasized that equipment was only one part of a successful project.

The group compared two plots. One received regular care, while the other was checked only occasionally. More plants survived in the first plot. However, the plots also received different amounts of sunlight. The group therefore avoided claiming that the care schedule alone explained the difference. For the next comparison, they planned to use plots with similar light conditions.

問1(5点)

What was the main purpose of the project?

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

問2(5点)

Which outcome is mentioned in the passage?

  1. a national law
  2. a weather forecast
  3. a travel ticket
  4. a flower bed

問3(5点)

Why was the first comparison inconclusive?

  1. No plants survived in either plot.
  2. The plots differed in sunlight as well as care.
  3. Both plots received exactly the same treatment.
  4. The group had no interest in plants.

問4(5点)

What would improve the next comparison?

  1. Keeping light conditions similar while comparing care schedules.
  2. The original approach needed no changes.
  3. The team should never collect further evidence.
  4. Only the appearance of the final product mattered.

セクション2:交流と案内:メールの情報・推論

Dear project members, Thank you for helping us share different expressions. At our meeting at the language room, we worked with local words and prepared a word collection. Daniel supplied a notebook. Before our next meeting, please consider the following account of a problem we encountered and how we responded.

At first, the group translated every instruction word for word. Some visitors still misunderstood what to do. The group then added examples and simple illustrations, and asked visitors to describe the next step. This revealed where instructions were unclear. Translation remained useful, but checking understanding became part of the process rather than an assumption based on the existence of a translated text.

セクション3:発表と協力:報告書の情報・推論

This report concerns a project at the school stage. The team, including Maki, aimed to share a favorite tradition by working with dances. One visible outcome was a dance program. Resources included a scarf. The report focuses on how the team revised its approach after reviewing what happened during the first session.

During preparation, the loudest members made most of the decisions. The group tried collecting written suggestions before discussion. This brought forward ideas from members who rarely spoke. Some suggestions conflicted, so the group still needed to discuss priorities. The new method did not remove disagreement; it made more people's views available before a decision was made.

This report concerns a project at the community kitchen. The team, including Aya, aimed to prepare food for volunteers by working with rice balls. One visible outcome was a meal plan. Resources included a lunch box. The report focuses on how the team revised its approach after reviewing what happened during the first session.

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.

Dear project members, Thank you for helping us help teammates communicate. At our meeting at the gym, we worked with basketball and prepared a team poster. Lily supplied a water bottle. Before our next meeting, please consider the following account of a problem we encountered and how we responded.

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.
