問題

セクション1:修理と再利用:報告書の情報・推論

This report concerns a project at the community hall. The team, including Sota, aimed to help younger children by working with toys. One visible outcome was a repaired toy. Resources included a screwdriver. The report focuses on how the team revised its approach after reviewing what happened during the first session.

Before replacing anything, the group checked whether the problem could be fixed safely. Some objects required only a small adjustment. Others had damage that beginners could not repair. These were set aside for an expert. The organizer explained that keeping an object in use was worthwhile only when it remained safe. Reducing waste did not justify ignoring the limits of the group's skills.

問1(5点)

What was the main purpose of the project?

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

問2(5点)

Which outcome is mentioned in the passage?

  1. a travel ticket
  2. a repaired toy
  3. a weather forecast
  4. a national law

問3(5点)

Why were some objects set aside?

  1. The group wanted to throw away all objects.
  2. Every object was beyond repair.
  3. Only new objects were allowed in the room.
  4. They needed skills beyond those of the beginners.

問4(5点)

Which principle guided the decisions?

  1. Reuse should be balanced with safety and expertise.
  2. The original approach needed no changes.
  3. Only the appearance of the final product mattered.
  4. The team should never collect further evidence.

セクション2: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5(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6(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7(5点)

  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8(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3: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.

問9(5点)

What was the main purpose of the project?

  1. To prove that experts were unnecessary.
  2. To show what a story is about.

  4. Only the appearance of the final product mattered.

セクション4: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13(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14(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15(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16(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5: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17(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 share different expressions.
  4. To prove that experts were unnecessary.

問18(5点)

Which outcome is mentioned in the passage?

  1. a word collection
  2. a weather forecast
  3. a travel ticket
  4. a national law

問19(5点)

Why did the group add examples and illustrations?

  1. Translation was forbidden.
  2. Visitors asked for longer sentences only.
  3. Every visitor already understood all instructions.
  4. Word-for-word translation had not ensured understanding.

問20(5点)

How did the group check understanding?

  1. By asking visitors to describe the next step.
  2. Only the appearance of the final product mattered.
  3. The original approach needed no changes.
  4. The team should never collect further evidence.
