영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Many students ①take a career aptitude test at some point in high school. This test, ②which is designed to measure a person's interests and strengths, does not simply tell students which job to choose. Instead, it helps them understand themselves better. For example, a student ③who enjoy solving problems might discover a hidden interest in engineering. However, the results should ④be used only as a guide, not as a final answer. Therefore, students should treat the test as a useful starting point for ⑤exploring various career paths, rather than a fixed decision.

Accidents rarely wait for a doctor ①to be nearby, which is why basic first aid knowledge can make a critical difference in the first few minutes after an injury occurs. Many students assume that only professionals should touch an injured person, ②fearing that any mistake might make things worse. In reality, a few simple actions, such as applying steady pressure to a bleeding wound or keeping an unconscious person's airway clear, can prevent a minor injury from ③becoming a life-threatening one. Waiting passively for an ambulance, rather than doing anything at all, ④are often the more dangerous choice, since every minute without basic care allows a treatable injury to worsen. Of course, first aid is never a substitute for professional medical treatment, and it ⑤should never replace an emergency call.

When an image-generating program ①produced a strikingly detailed painting in the exact style of a well-known illustrator within seconds, my art club spent an entire meeting arguing about what it actually meant for artists. Some members felt excited, ②imagining the software as a helpful tool that could speed up brainstorming or generate quick backgrounds for their comics. Others worried that the program had been trained on thousands of real illustrations ③scraped from the internet without the original artists' permission, meaning the tool's impressive results were quietly built on other people's uncredited labor. A few pointed out that the final image, however skillful it ④looked, reflected no personal memory, struggle, or intention, only patterns learned from existing pictures. The debate never reached a clear conclusion, but it made me realize that questions about creativity now involve not just how a picture looks, but where it actually ⑤come from and who deserves credit for it.

Setting a career plan early in high school ①offers several important benefits. First, having a general direction helps students ②choose subjects and activities that support their goals. Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, ③which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful. However, an effective career plan should remain flexible, since interests and circumstances often ④changes during the teenage years. Career counselors therefore recommend ⑤reviewing a plan every few months and adjusting it based on new experiences.

When I told my parents I wanted to become a musician, I expected them to worry about money and stability. Instead, my father ①surprised me by asking what kind of music made me feel most alive. My mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a painter herself, ②admitted that she still wondered what her life might have looked like. Their honesty made me realize that parents' influence on career choices is not always about ③freedom or control. Sometimes, it comes quietly through shared stories and unfinished dreams. Still, my parents' support taught me that the most helpful kind of guidance often ④respects a child's own voice instead of replacing it. Their trust gave me the ⑤courage to keep pursuing music seriously.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. This growing interest is partly due to the internet, which makes it ①easy to reach customers without a physical store. Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as ②managing money, marketing a product, and handling customer complaints. However, young entrepreneurs face real ③challenges too. Many lack enough money or experience to make their business grow quickly, and mistakes can feel ④encouraging at first. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that failure taught them more than any success did, and schools now offer entrepreneurship clubs to support these ⑤beginners.

On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel relaxed for the first time that day. Without much thought, I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet before leaving. Walking out of the gym, I finally felt _______________.

For our club's spring project, we were told to create a sculpture using only materials collected from the school's recycling bins, and my first reaction was disappointment at not being allowed to buy proper art supplies. Sorting through flattened cardboard, broken umbrella frames, and plastic bottle caps, I initially saw nothing but trash. My perspective shifted once a senior member showed me a piece she had built the previous year, a bird made entirely of bent bicycle spokes and bottle caps, each cap functioning as a single feather. She explained that _______________. By the end of the project, our team had built a small forest of figures using nothing that anyone had paid for, and the exhibit visitors seemed more curious about our materials than about any technique we had used.

For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. (A) Wearing dark clothing during these hours can make a student almost invisible until a car is dangerously close. (B) This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian drops sharply well before sunrise or after sunset. (C) Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, assuming they can judge the traffic gap correctly.

That single feature, the ability to undo, turned out to change how boldly people were willing to experiment. Last year our art club received a set of digital drawing tablets, and I assumed switching from paper would feel like cheating, since a screen seemed to remove the physical struggle of real drawing. ( ① ) After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet demanded a different kind of skill rather than an easier one. ( ② ) Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too hard or draw shaky lines until their hand adjusts to the smooth glass surface. ( ③ ) What the tablet does offer is the freedom to undo a mistake instantly and experiment with colors without wasting a single sheet of paper, which encourages artists to take risks they might avoid with a permanent ink pen. ( ④ ) Several club members who once avoided painting because they feared ruining their work now try bold new styles daily. ( ⑤ ) The tool changed, but the patience and observation required to create something meaningful stayed exactly the same.
