1Choose the word that completes the sentence: 'There ___ many beautiful beaches along the coast of Chiba.'
A.is
B.are
C.be
D.being
Explanation: In 'there is/are' sentences, the verb matches the noun that follows. 'Beaches' is plural, so 'are' is correct.
2Choose the word that completes the sentence: 'My cousin Saki ___ to school by bicycle every morning.'
A.go
B.goes
C.going
D.went
Explanation: 'Every morning' shows a present habit, so use the simple present. The subject 'Saki' is third person singular, so the verb takes -s: 'goes'.
3Choose the word that completes the sentence: 'Hina is only three years old, so she ___ swim yet.'
A.can't
B.mustn't
C.won't
D.doesn't
Explanation: The sentence is about ability: a three-year-old is not able to swim yet, so 'can't' (cannot) is correct.
4Choose the word that completes the sentence: 'We ___ very excited when our team won the game last Saturday.'
A.are
B.were
C.was
D.be
Explanation: 'Last Saturday' shows past time, and the subject 'we' is plural, so the correct past form is 'were'.
5Choose the phrase that completes the sentence: 'You ___ use your smartphone during the test. It is against the rules.'
A.must
B.must not
C.can
D.may
Explanation: The second sentence says using the phone is against the rules, so the blank needs a prohibition. 'Must not' means something is not allowed.
6Choose the word that completes the sentence: 'Mount Fuji is ___ than Mount Nokogiri in Chiba.'
A.high
B.higher
C.highest
D.more high
Explanation: 'Than' signals the comparative form. 'High' is a short adjective, so add -er: 'higher'.
7Choose the word that completes the sentence: 'I think it ___ be sunny tomorrow afternoon.'
A.will
B.was
C.did
D.is being
Explanation: 'Tomorrow afternoon' shows future time, and 'will + base verb' expresses a future prediction: 'it will be sunny'.
8Choose the word that completes the sentence: 'My little brother likes ___ with our dog in the park.'
A.play
B.plays
C.playing
D.played
Explanation: After 'like', use the -ing form (gerund) to name an activity someone enjoys: 'likes playing'.
9Choose the phrase that completes the sentence: 'Listen! Someone ___ the piano in the music room.'
A.plays
B.is playing
C.played
D.has played
Explanation: 'Listen!' tells us the action is happening right now, so use the present progressive 'is playing'. 'Someone' is singular, so use 'is'.
10Choose the word that completes the sentence: '___ your father work in Narita?'
A.Do
B.Does
C.Is
D.Has
Explanation: This is a yes/no question in the simple present with the action verb 'work'. The subject 'your father' is third person singular, so the question starts with 'Does'.

About the Chiba Entrance English Exam

The Chiba Public High School Entrance Examination English paper is one of the five subject papers in the prefecture-wide academic examination administered by the Chiba Prefectural Board of Education for admission to prefectural public high schools. Chiba holds the main examination over two days in mid-February (February 16-17 in 2027) under identical conditions across the prefecture, followed by a makeup examination (February 25 in 2027). Day 1 covers kokugo and mathematics in 50 minutes each and English in 60 minutes; day 2 covers science and social studies in 50 minutes each; every subject is scored out of 100 points. The English paper includes a broadcast listening test and follows the MEXT Course of Study for junior high school, covering grammar through relative pronouns and the passive voice, junior-high level vocabulary and expressions, reading of everyday and social-topic passages, listening comprehension, and guided writing. Results are combined with the junior-high school report (chousasho, multiplied by a school-set factor K between 0.5 and 2) and school-set tests; there is no single passing score. This page provides 100 original practice items as a study adaptation — original items, not official past problems — and it cannot replace listening, speaking, or writing preparation.

Assessment

The real Chiba English subject is one of the five academic subjects (kokugo, suugaku, eigo, rika, shakai) of the prefecture-wide entrance examination administered over two days under identical conditions across the prefecture (the R9 / 2027 main examination is scheduled for February 16-17, 2027, with a makeup examination on February 25, 2027; the preceding R8 / 2026 examination was held on February 17-18, 2026). The English paper is given on day 1, lasts 60 minutes, includes a broadcast listening test, and is scored out of 100 points, following the MEXT junior-high English curriculum across listening, reading, speaking (interaction and presentation), and writing. This local bank is an English-language study adaptation aligned to the same curriculum content, with listening items adapted to printed transcripts; the items are original and are not official past problems, and the MCQ format does not reproduce the official listening audio or written-response work.

Chiba Entrance English Study Tips from Top Performers

1Review grammar in spiral order: auxiliaries and tenses first, then infinitives/gerunds, then passives and relative pronouns — later items combine them.
2When reading, mark the sentence that supports each answer; Chiba reading items reward locating evidence, not guessing the gist.
3For word-order items, identify the subject and verb first, then place modifiers; say the sentence aloud to check it.
4Practice listening with real audio separately — this bank's transcript items build the strategy but cannot replace ear training.
5Practice under a 60-minute cap and write out full-sentence answers, because the official paper grades written responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the real Chiba English entrance paper multiple-choice?

No. The official paper mixes a broadcast listening test, reading passages, and written responses. The MCQs here are a study adaptation; practice writing answers in full English sentences and listening to spoken English as well.

How long is the Chiba English paper and how is it scored?

The English paper lasts 60 minutes, including the broadcast listening test, and is scored out of 100 points. Admission combines all five subject results (500 points in total) with the junior-high school report (chousasho, multiplied by a school-set factor K between 0.5 and 2) and school-set tests; there is no fixed passing score.

Does this bank reproduce the official listening test?

No. The official listening section is delivered by broadcast audio. This bank adapts the listening skill to printed transcripts so you can practice identifying speakers' intentions and key information, but it is not a simulation of the audio test.

Who administers the exam and what does it cost?

The Chiba Prefectural Board of Education administers the selection. The entrance examination fee is JPY 2,200 for the full-time course and JPY 950 for the part-time and correspondence courses.

How is admission decided in Chiba?

Chiba holds the main examination over two days in mid-February, with a makeup examination later in February. Each high school combines the 500-point academic total with the chousasho report (multiplied by a school-set factor K between 0.5 and 2) and school-set tests such as interviews, essays, or the prefecture-made thinking-questions test; some schools use subject multipliers and a two-stage selection for up to 20% of places.
