EigoPro 準2級 読解 — New Library Online System

Midori City Library: New Online System From May 1, Midori City Library will launch a new online system that makes borrowing books much easier. Members will be able to search, reserve, and renew books from home, using a computer or smartphone. Searching and Reserving In the past, you had to come to the library to see if a book was available. Now you can check from anywhere. If the book you want is already borrowed by someone else, you can reserve it online. When the book is returned, the system will send you an email, and the library will keep it for you for three days. Borrowing Limits Each member can now borrow up to ten books at a time, instead of the old limit of five. However, popular new books are still limited to one per person, so that more people get a chance to read them. The borrowing period remains two weeks. Renewing Books If you need more time, you can renew a book once for another two weeks — but only if no one else is waiting for it. Renewing online takes just a few seconds, so you no longer need to call the library. Important Notes To use the new system, you need a library card and a password. If you forget your password, you can reset it on the website, but for safety, this can only be done from the email address you registered. The old paper request forms will no longer be accepted after April 30. Help is Available Library staff will hold free 30-minute lessons every Saturday in May to teach members how to use the new system. No reservation is needed — just come to the second-floor computer room. Younger children should come with an adult.

選択肢の解説Choice Analysis

「Up to ten books.」

正解

Borrowing Limits "Each member can now borrow up to ten books at a time, instead of the old limit of five" より、新上限 = 最大10冊 (旧5冊)。up to ~ = 「最大〜まで」、instead of ~ = 「〜の代わりに」(変更前との対比)。

    = 従来通り5冊 ━ 5冊は 旧上限 ━ 新上限は10冊。

  • 「As many as they want, with no limit.」

    = 無制限 ━ 10冊という上限あり。

  • 「Only one book per visit.」

    = 1回1冊のみ ━ 1冊制限は 人気新刊 のみ。

数値変更設問の鉄則 ―― "up to ten, instead of the old limit of five" の 新値と旧値 を区別。誤答は『旧値 (5)』や『1人1冊 (人気本限定)』を全体に当てはめて誘導。up to ~ = 「最大〜」、at a time = 「一度に」は準2級必須。
