  1. At nine o'clock.
  2. At ten thirty.
  3. At nine thirty.
  4. At ten o'clock. Correct answer.

Explanation

A boy says: 'I left my umbrella on the bus this morning.' His friend says: 'You should check the lost property office next to the school gate.' Where should the boy go?

  1. To the bus stop near the school gate.
  2. To the school library.
  3. To his classroom.
  4. To the lost property office. Correct answer.

Explanation

The friend directs the boy to the lost property office next to the school gate. Since the umbrella was left on the bus, that office is the place to ask about it.

Question 3Listening comprehension

At a shop in Takasaki, a girl says: 'I'd like this notebook and that red pen, please.' The notebook is 200 yen and the pen is 150 yen. She gives the clerk 500 yen. How much change does she get?

  1. 50 yen
  2. 200 yen
  3. 100 yen
  4. 150 yen Correct answer.

Add the notebook and pen: 200 + 150 = 350 yen. Subtracting 350 from 500 leaves 150 yen in change.

  2. He may go, depending on club practice. Correct answer.
  3. He will go if it is sunny.
  4. He has decided not to go.

Teacher: 'For tomorrow's English class, please read pages 20 to 24 and bring your notebook. You don't need to finish the questions on page 25.' What should students do for homework?

  1. Read pages 24-25 only.
  2. Finish all the questions on page 25.
  3. Bring a dictionary and read page 20.
  4. Read pages 20-24 and bring a notebook. Correct answer.

Explanation

The teacher assigns pages 20 to 24 and says to bring a notebook. The questions on page 25 are explicitly not required, so students should not plan to finish them.

Question 6Listening comprehension

A school announcement says: 'Because of heavy rain, today's soccer practice will be in the gym, not on the field. Please change your shoes before you enter.' Where will soccer practice be held?

  1. On the school field.
  2. In the gym. Correct answer.
  3. In the classroom.
  4. At the city pool.

Explanation

The announcement contrasts the usual field with the gym. Because of heavy rain, practice is moved indoors, so the gym is the correct location.

Question 7Listening comprehension

Man: 'Excuse me, how can I get to the city library?' Woman: 'Go straight along this street. Turn left at the second traffic light. The library is on your right, across from the post office.' Where is the library?

  1. On the left, beside the post office.
  2. On the right, opposite the post office. Correct answer.
  3. Next to the first traffic light.

Explanation

Following the directions, the library is on the right after the second traffic light. 'Across from the post office' confirms that it faces the post office.

Question 8Listening comprehension

Waitress: 'What would you like to drink?' Boy: 'I'll have orange juice, please.' Girl: 'I'll have the same, but without ice.' What will the girl drink?

  1. Milk without ice.
  2. Cold water with ice.
  3. Orange juice without ice. Correct answer.
  4. Hot tea.

Explanation

The girl says 'the same' as the boy's orange juice and adds 'without ice.' Therefore her drink is orange juice with no ice.

Question 9Listening comprehension

A volunteer leader says: 'We will meet at the north exit of Maebashi Station at 8:45. The clean-up work starts at 9:00 and ends at 11:30. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle.' What time will the volunteers start cleaning?

  1. At 9:00. Correct answer.
  2. At 9:30.
  3. At 8:45.
  4. At 11:30.

Explanation

The talk separates the meeting time from the work time. Volunteers meet at 8:45, but cleaning begins at 9:00 and ends at 11:30.

Question 10Listening comprehension

Conversation: 'Have you finished your report for social studies?' 'Not yet. I planned to write about Gunma's silk industry, but I couldn't find enough books. So I changed my topic to the local train line.' 'When is it due?' 'Next Friday. I have to interview my grandfather this weekend.' What will the student do this weekend?

  1. Finish the report on Friday.
  2. Write about the silk industry.
  3. Interview his grandfather. Correct answer.
  4. Take a train to the library.

Explanation

The student changed the report topic and must interview his grandfather this weekend. The report is due next Friday, so the weekend task is the interview.

Question 11Listening comprehension

You hear a woman say: 'The concert starts at 6:30, but we should get to the hall thirty minutes early to find our seats.' What time should they arrive at the hall?

  1. 6:00 Correct answer.
  2. 6:30
  3. 5:30
  4. 7:00

Explanation

The concert begins at 6:30, and arriving thirty minutes early means subtracting 30 minutes from 6:30, which gives 6:00. The other choices either repeat the start time or move away from it.

Question 12Listening comprehension

You hear a boy ask: 'How much is the museum ticket?' A man answers: 'It is 500 yen for students, but today is Friday, so students pay half price.' How much will the boy pay?

  1. 500 yen
  2. 1,000 yen
  3. 250 yen Correct answer.
  4. 750 yen

Explanation

Half of 500 yen is 250 yen. The student price is 500 yen, but the Friday discount reduces it by half.

Question 13Listening comprehension

You hear a school announcement: 'The science club will meet in Room 302 today, not in the science lab, because the lab is being cleaned.' Where will the science club meet?

  1. In Room 302 Correct answer.
  2. In the gym
  3. In the science lab

  2. the JR Takasaki Line to Maebashi
  3. the Tobu Isesaki Line Correct answer.

  1. He missed his bus home
  2. He had to study for a test
  3. He felt sick Correct answer.
  4. He did not like the food

Explanation

The man directly states that he left early because he felt sick. He says the food was great, so the food is not the reason he left.

Question 16Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher announce: 'The English speech contest will start at 1 p.m. as planned. Participants should come to the library at 12:30 for a short meeting before the contest.' What should participants do at 12:30?

  1. Come to the library at 12:30 Correct answer.
  2. Go to the gym to have lunch with parents
  3. Give their speeches in the gym before lunch
  4. Have lunch before the contest starts

Explanation

The teacher says participants should come to the library at 12:30 for a short meeting. The contest itself starts later at 1 p.m., so speeches are not given at 12:30.

Question 17Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher say: 'We need forty chairs for the parents at the back of the gym. Eight of the chairs in the gym are broken, so please bring eight more from the storage room.' How many chairs should they bring from the storage room?

  1. 32
  2. 40
  3. 48
  4. 8 Correct answer.

Explanation

The teacher says that eight chairs in the gym are broken and asks for eight more from the storage room. The number forty is the total needed for parents, not the number to carry from storage.

Question 18Listening comprehension

You hear a conversation. Man: 'I'm sorry, but the tickets for the baseball game sold out before I could buy them.' Woman: 'That's all right. I'd rather stay home and study for the math test anyway.' What does the woman mean?

  1. She already bought a ticket for the game
  2. She wants to go to the game next week
  3. She accepts it and prefers to study Correct answer.
  4. She is angry about the sold-out tickets

Explanation

The woman says 'That's all right' and adds that she would rather study, showing that she accepts the situation and prefers studying. She does not ask for another ticket or express anger.

Question 19Listening comprehension

You hear a tour guide say: 'Our bus leaves at 9:15. We will arrive at the museum at 10:00 and stay for 45 minutes. After that, we will have lunch at 12:00 for one hour.' What time will lunch end?

  1. 11:30 a.m.
  2. 1:00 p.m. Correct answer.
  3. 1:15 p.m.
  4. 12:45 p.m.

Explanation

Lunch starts at 12:00 and lasts for one hour, so it ends at 1:00 p.m. The museum visit and the bus departure are separate details that do not change the lunch end time.

Question 20Listening comprehension

You hear a librarian say: 'Please bring your books to the return counter, not the shelves. Also, have your student ID card ready when you enter.' What should students do?

  1. Enter the library through the back door
  2. Leave their student ID at home during the visit
  3. Put all books back on the shelves by yourself
  4. Return books at the counter with ID Correct answer.

Explanation

The librarian asks students to return books to the counter and to have their student ID ready. Putting books on the shelves is specifically told against.

Question 21Listening comprehension

You hear a weather forecast: 'Tomorrow will be sunny in the morning, but it will rain in the afternoon.' What will the weather be like in the afternoon?

  1. Snowy
  2. Rainy Correct answer.
  3. Cloudy
  4. Sunny

Explanation

The forecast contrasts the morning and the afternoon: it will be sunny in the morning, but rain in the afternoon. Since the question asks about the afternoon, 'rainy' is the correct condition. 'Sunny' describes only the morning, and cloudy and snowy are not mentioned.

Question 22Listening comprehension

You hear a student say: 'I lost my gloves at the park. They are black with a white stripe on each one.' What color are the lost gloves?

  1. All black
  2. Black with a white stripe Correct answer.
  3. All white
  4. Brown with a black stripe

Explanation

The speaker describes the gloves as black with a white stripe. The phrase 'on each one' confirms that the pattern applies to both gloves. The other color combinations are not mentioned in the description.

Question 23Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher announce: 'The art club meeting today will be in Room 105, not Room 101 as usual.' Where will the art club meet today?

  1. Room 501
  2. Room 201
  3. Room 101
  4. Room 105 Correct answer.

Explanation

The announcement corrects the usual room and gives Room 105 as today's location. Room 101 is the usual room but not the room for today. The other room numbers are not mentioned in the announcement.

Question 24Listening comprehension

You hear a conversation. Boy: 'I forgot my lunch today, so I'll buy a sandwich at the school store.' Girl: 'The store is closed today because of the holiday. You can share my rice balls.' What will the boy probably do?

  1. Buy a sandwich at the store
  2. Share the girl's rice balls Correct answer.
  3. Skip lunch today
  4. Go home to eat lunch

Explanation

The girl tells the boy that the store is closed, so his plan to buy a sandwich cannot happen. She then offers to share her rice balls. Since that is the only food option mentioned, the boy will probably accept her offer.

Question 25Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher give instructions: 'For this project, work in pairs. One person will draw the map, and the other person will write the explanation. Then you will present your work together.' What will the second person in each pair do?

  1. Draw the map
  2. Choose a new partner
  3. Write the explanation Correct answer.
  4. Present alone

Explanation

The teacher assigns two different roles: one person draws the map, and the other person writes the explanation. The 'second person' mentioned is the one who writes the explanation. The presentation is done together, not alone.

Question 26Listening comprehension

You hear a phone message: 'Hi, this is Mary. I'm at the station now, but I can't find the bookstore. Please meet me at the east exit of the station, not the west exit.' Where will Mary and her friend meet?

  1. At Mary's house
  2. At the east exit of the station Correct answer.
  3. At the bookstore
  4. At the west exit of the station

Explanation

Mary asks her friend to meet at the east exit and explicitly says 'not the west exit.' She cannot find the bookstore, so that is not the meeting place. Her house is not mentioned in the message.

Question 27Listening comprehension

You hear a guide say: 'The museum opens at 9:30. Our group will arrive at 9:15, so we will wait outside for 15 minutes before entering.' What time will the group enter the museum?

  1. 10:00
  2. 9:45
  3. 9:30 Correct answer.
  4. 9:15

Explanation

The group arrives at 9:15 and waits for 15 minutes outside. Adding 15 minutes to 9:15 gives 9:30, which is also the opening time. Therefore the group will enter the museum at 9:30.

Question 28Listening comprehension

You hear a woman say: 'I wanted to buy the blue dress, but it was too expensive. So I bought the red one instead.' Which dress did she buy?

  1. The green dress
  2. The blue dress
  3. Neither dress
  4. The red dress Correct answer.

Explanation

The woman says the blue dress was too expensive, so she bought the red one instead. The word 'instead' shows that the red dress was her final choice. The green dress is not mentioned in the statement.

Question 29Listening comprehension

You hear a tour guide say: 'The bus leaves at 8:30. The ride to the park takes 50 minutes. We will stay at the park for 1 hour and 20 minutes, and then the bus will return.' What time will the group leave the park?

  1. 10:20
  2. 11:00
  3. 9:20
  4. 10:40 Correct answer.

Explanation

The bus arrives at the park at 8:30 plus 50 minutes, which is 9:20. Adding the 1-hour-and-20-minute stay to 9:20 gives 10:40. Therefore the group will leave the park at 10:40.

Question 30Listening comprehension

You hear a conversation. Woman: 'Concert tickets are 3,000 yen for adults and 1,500 yen for students. If you buy two or more student tickets, you get 500 yen off the total.' Man: 'I'm a student, and my sister is a student too. I'd like two student tickets, please.' How much will the man pay?

  1. 2,500 yen Correct answer.
  2. 4,000 yen
  3. 3,000 yen
  4. 3,500 yen

Explanation

Two student tickets cost 2 × 1,500 = 3,000 yen. Because the man buys two student tickets, the 500-yen discount applies, so he pays 3,000 − 500 = 2,500 yen. The adult price is not used because both buyers are students.

Question 31Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher say: 'Before you start the quiz, write your name at the top of the answer sheet. Then read each question carefully and circle one answer.' What should students do first?

  1. Read every question carefully
  2. Write their names on the answer sheet Correct answer.
  3. Circle one answer for each question
  4. Hand the answer sheet to the teacher

Explanation

The teacher uses 'Before you start' to mark the first action: writing the name. Reading and circling come after that, so they cannot be the first step. The order is stated clearly in the announcement.

Question 32Listening comprehension

You hear a home economics teacher say: 'For tomorrow's cooking class, bring an apron and a notebook. The school will provide all the ingredients.' What should students bring?

  1. Only the ingredients for the class
  2. The ingredients and a notebook for notes
  3. An apron and a notebook Correct answer.
  4. Only an apron, with no notebook

Explanation

The teacher lists two items to bring: an apron and a notebook. The ingredients are supplied by the school, so students do not need to bring them. Listening for the contrast between 'bring' and 'provide' gives the answer.

Question 33Listening comprehension

You hear a coach announce: 'Tennis practice is canceled today because of rain. All members should meet in Classroom 2B at 4 p.m. to watch a training video instead.' What will the tennis club members do at 4 p.m.?

  1. Leave school early because practice is canceled
  2. Practice tennis on the outdoor court as usual
  3. Watch a training video in Classroom 2B Correct answer.
  4. Clean the tennis court with the team after school

Explanation

The coach cancels outdoor practice and gives a replacement activity: watching a training video in Classroom 2B. The word 'instead' signals that this is what members will do at 4 p.m. The rain is the reason for the change.

Question 34Listening comprehension

You hear a conversation. Woman: 'I had a dentist appointment at 3 p.m., but the clinic called and asked me to come at 4:30 instead.' Man: 'That's good. My last class ends at 3:45, so I can drive you.' What time is the woman's dental appointment now?

  1. At 3:45 p.m.
  2. At 4:30 p.m. Correct answer.
  3. At 4 p.m.
  4. At 3 p.m.

Explanation

The clinic changed the appointment from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the woman repeats that new time. The man's 3:45 reference is only when his class ends, not the appointment time. Listen for 'instead' to identify the updated time.

Question 35Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher say: 'For the school trip tomorrow, bring a raincoat. The forecast says it will rain in the afternoon, and we will be outside then.' Why should students bring a raincoat?

  1. Because the park does not allow umbrellas
  2. Because they will be outside when it rains Correct answer.
  3. Because the school bus will be cold and wet
  4. Because the teacher wants them to stay dry indoors

Explanation

The teacher connects the raincoat to two facts: afternoon rain and outdoor time. The purpose is to keep students dry while they are outside. The other choices add details that are not in the announcement.

Question 36Listening comprehension

You hear a student leader say: 'The volunteer clean-up is on Saturday. We will meet at the east gate of the park at 8:45, not at the station. Please bring gloves.' Where should volunteers meet?

  1. At the east gate of the park Correct answer.
  2. At the train station near the park entrance
  3. At the school gate before the bus leaves
  4. At the park office beside the east gate

Explanation

The leader gives the meeting place as the east gate of the park. The phrase 'not at the station' rules out the station as the meeting point. The time and gloves are extra details, not the location.

Question 37Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher say: 'For this week's essay, do not print it. Upload your file to the class website by Friday at 5 p.m. If you have trouble, email me your file before the deadline.' How should students submit the essay?

  1. Send it by regular mail
  2. Print it and give it to the teacher
  3. Hand it in at the school office
  4. Upload it to the class website Correct answer.

Explanation

The teacher first says not to print the essay, then gives the normal method: upload the file to the class website. Emailing is only a backup for students who have trouble. The deadline is Friday at 5 p.m.

Question 38Listening comprehension

You hear a conversation. Girl: 'I practiced the piano for two hours every day, but I still made a mistake in the recital.' Boy: 'You look upset, but everyone makes mistakes. Your performance was still beautiful.' What does the boy mean?

  1. The girl should stop playing the piano completely
  2. The girl's mistake ruined the whole recital
  3. She should not be so hard on herself Correct answer.
  4. The girl did not practice enough before the recital

Explanation

The boy accepts that the girl is upset but points out that mistakes are normal and her performance was beautiful. Together these imply she is being too critical of herself. The boy does not blame her practice or call the recital ruined.

Question 39Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher give instructions: 'After you finish the experiment, clean your glassware and put it on the drying rack. Then write your results in your notebook before you leave the lab.' What should students do immediately after cleaning the glassware?

  1. Leave the laboratory as soon as the experiment ends
  2. Start the same experiment again from the beginning
  3. Write their results in the notebook before leaving the lab
  4. Put the glassware on the drying rack Correct answer.

Explanation

The teacher gives a sequence: clean the glassware, put it on the drying rack, then write results. 'Immediately after cleaning' therefore means placing the glassware on the rack. Writing results comes after that step, not before.

Question 40Listening comprehension

You hear a phone conversation. Woman: 'I reserved a table for six for dinner tonight.' Man: 'My sister and her husband cannot come, so please change it to four.' How many people will eat dinner?

  1. Eight
  2. Four Correct answer.
  3. Six
  4. Two

Explanation

The original reservation was for six people, and two people cancel: the man's sister and her husband. That leaves four, which the man confirms by asking to change the table to four. The number two is the number of people not coming.

Question 41Listening comprehension

You hear a student say: 'I have to return this book to the library before noon, and then I'm meeting Ken at the gym at one.' What will the student do first?

  1. Buy a book at the store
  2. Meet Ken at the gym
  3. Return the book Correct answer.
  4. Play tennis with Ken

Explanation

The student says the book must be returned before noon and the meeting with Ken is at one, so returning the book comes first. The gym meeting is later, and no shopping or tennis is mentioned.

Question 42Listening comprehension

You hear a boy say: 'I wanted to join the soccer club, but its practices are on the same days as my piano lessons. That is why I chose the art club.' Why did the boy choose the art club?

  1. Soccer practice is on piano lesson days. Correct answer.
  2. He no longer enjoys playing soccer.
  3. His friend asked him to join the art club.
  4. The art club costs less than the soccer club does.

Explanation

The boy explains that soccer practices fall on the same days as his piano lessons, so he could not do both activities. The art club is his alternative because of that schedule conflict, not because of cost, friendship, or a loss of interest in soccer.

Question 43Listening comprehension

You hear a woman say: 'This train is very crowded. Let's get off and wait for the next one; it comes in ten minutes.' What does the woman suggest doing?

  1. Taking a taxi instead
  2. Staying on the crowded train
  3. Waiting for the next train Correct answer.
  4. Walking to the station

Explanation

The woman proposes getting off the crowded train and waiting ten minutes for the next one. She does not mention a taxi, walking, or staying on the current train.

Question 44Listening comprehension

You hear a teacher say: 'I can see you worked hard on this report, but please look at the data in the second paragraph once more before you hand it in.' What does the teacher want the student to do?

  1. Rewrite the whole report from the beginning
  2. Submit the report without changes
  3. Check part of the report again Correct answer.
  4. Remove the second paragraph

Explanation

The teacher praises the student's effort but asks the student to review the data in the second paragraph again before submitting. This is a request to recheck one section, not to delete it or rewrite everything.

Question 45Reading comprehension of short and medium passages

Gunma's Minami Junior High School will hold a 'Book Exchange Week' from May 12 to 16. Students may bring up to three books they no longer need and trade them for the same number of books brought by others. The library will also display new magazines, but these are for reading only and cannot be exchanged. What is the main purpose of Book Exchange Week?

  1. To let students exchange books they no longer need. Correct answer.
  2. To collect money for the school library.
  3. To teach students how to write stories.
  4. To sell new magazines to students.

Explanation

The passage says students may bring books they no longer need and trade them for the same number of books brought by others, so the event is about exchanging used books. It also separates the magazine display, which is for reading only, from the exchange activity. No money or writing lesson is mentioned.

Question 46Reading comprehension of short and medium passages

The city of Maebashi opened a new bicycle path along the Tone River last spring. The path is 8 kilometers long and connects two train stations. It is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and cyclists must use lights after sunset. According to the passage, what must cyclists do after sunset?

  1. Ride only between the stations.
  2. Leave the path before 6 p.m.
  3. Pay a fee at the station.
  4. Use lights on the bicycle path. Correct answer.

Explanation

The final sentence states that cyclists must use lights after sunset, so that is the required action. The other choices add rules about fees, closing time, or route limits that the passage does not give. The path is open until 9 p.m., not only before 6 p.m.

Question 47Reading comprehension of short and medium passages

Tom looked at the dark clouds and decided to take an umbrella. His sister, however, left hers at home. By noon, heavy rain was falling, and she was soaked. What does the word 'soaked' most nearly mean in the passage?

  1. Very hungry
  2. Very wet Correct answer.
  3. Very tired
  4. Very angry

Explanation

The context is heavy rain and a person without an umbrella, so 'soaked' means very wet. The word describes the result of being caught in the rain, not a feeling such as tiredness, anger, or hunger.

Question 48Reading comprehension of short and medium passages

Kenji practices the trumpet every morning before school. His neighbors have never complained, and last month he was chosen to play in the city concert. His teacher says his progress is the result of steady effort rather than talent. What can be inferred about Kenji from the passage?

  1. His neighbors dislike the sound of his trumpet.
  2. He plays the trumpet only for the city concert.
  3. His steady practice has helped him improve. Correct answer.
  4. He has always been a talented musician.

Explanation

The teacher directly says Kenji's progress comes from steady effort rather than talent, and the passage shows he practices every morning. This supports the inference that regular practice has helped him improve. The other choices contradict details about talent, neighbors, or his playing schedule.

Question 49Reading comprehension of short and medium passages

Yuki borrowed a book from her teacher. She promised to return it by Friday, but her friend borrowed it from her and forgot to bring it back. Yuki spoke to her friend and got the book back on Thursday. In the passage, what does the word 'it' in 'her friend borrowed it from her' refer to?

  1. The book Correct answer.
  2. The teacher
  3. Friday
  4. The promise

Explanation

The pronoun 'it' refers back to the book Yuki borrowed from her teacher. The friend borrowed that same book from Yuki and later returned it, which fits the book's role in the passage. The other nouns are a person, a day, and an abstract promise, none of which can be borrowed in this way.

Question 50Reading comprehension of short and medium passages

Our class visited a local farm to learn about vegetables. The farmer showed us how to plant seeds and explained why some crops grow better in certain seasons. At the end, we each planted a small pot to take home. Why did the author most likely write this passage?

  1. To persuade readers to become farmers
  2. To compare two different farms in Gunma
  3. To explain how to sell vegetables at a market
  4. To describe a class trip and its lessons Correct answer.

Explanation

The passage reports what the class did on a farm visit and what the farmer taught them, so its purpose is to describe the trip and its lessons. It does not ask readers to become farmers, teach market selling, or compare two farms. The focus is a single class experience.
