問題

セクション1:自然観察:報告書の情報・推論

This report concerns a project at the hill. The team, including Yuto, aimed to learn about changes in the sky by working with clouds. One visible outcome was a sky diary. Resources included a camera. The report focuses on how the team revised its approach after reviewing what happened during the first session.

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 replace every activity in the town.
  2. To prove that experts were unnecessary.
  3. To learn about changes in the sky.
  4. To advertise luxury products.

問2(5点)

Which outcome is mentioned in the passage?

  1. a weather forecast
  2. a national law
  3. a travel ticket
  4. a sky diary

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. Every observation lasted exactly the same time.
  4. The group had never visited the area.

問4(5点)

What information would help future comparisons?

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

セクション2:デザイン:報告書の情報・推論

This report concerns a project at the reading room. The team, including Hinata, aimed to show what a story is about by working with book covers. One visible outcome was a cover design. Resources included a pencil. The report focuses on how the team revised its approach after reviewing what happened during the first session.

The first version looked attractive to its creators, but users had trouble finding essential information. The group observed people trying to use it without help. They simplified the layout and increased the contrast of important text. They learned that appearance and usefulness were separate questions. A design could be pleasing while still failing to guide someone who encountered it for the first time.

  3. The original approach needed no changes.
  4. Only the appearance of the final product mattered.

セクション3: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.

セクション4: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.

問13(5点)

  2. To replace every activity in the town.

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

セクション5: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.

問17(5点)

  1. To advertise luxury products.
  2. To replace every activity in the town.
  3. To share a favorite tradition.
