영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach ①covered with plastic cups and bottles. That evening, she found an old tumbler ②hiding in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, ③carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, ④which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, ⑤using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth.

Last summer, I ①worked part-time at a small coffee shop near my house. At first, I only wanted to earn some spending money, but the job ②taught me far more than that. I learned how to stay calm during busy hours when orders ③piled up quickly. One day, a customer complained loudly about a mistake in her order. Instead of ④argue, I apologized and quickly made a new drink for her. She left with a smile, and my manager praised my patience ⑤afterward.

Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign to help everyone begin the year with ①vague direction. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class and write one ②personal goal along with two simple steps. After completing the card, students must ③submit it to their homeroom teacher by January 9th. All goal cards will then be ④displayed on the bulletin board outside the library, so students can encourage one another. Students who show clear progress will receive a small prize, which we hope will ⑤motivate everyone to keep trying.

Last summer, our neighborhood association invited students to help paint a mural on the long wall beside the community center, and nearly forty volunteers with completely different painting abilities showed up on the first day. I worried that combining so many different skill levels would create an ①ugly, mismatched result, since some volunteers had painted for years while others, including me, had never held a large brush before. The project leader solved this by dividing the huge design into small, connected sections and assigning each volunteer a section matched to their ②comfort level, from simple solid-color backgrounds to detailed flowers. Beginners filled in wide open skies, while experienced painters added fine details like veins on leaves or shadows under birds. When the plastic sheets finally came down, the mural looked remarkably ③unified, not despite the many different hands involved, but because each hand had been given a task ④unrelated to what it could do well, which made the ⑤collaboration feel effortless in the end.

A ①shrinking number of teenagers are joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. These apps let users track how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. Some students say the apps make reading feel less ②lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members ③motivated, turning a private habit into a small social game. However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time ④chatting about the story than actually reading it. Despite this concern, many students report that the sense of community keeps them reading books they would have quit halfway through if they had been reading completely ⑤alone.

Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that _______________. This year's festival will take place on October 15th, running from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is limited. The science club will present simple experiments that are both safe and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have created throughout the semester. The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.

Our film club spent an entire semester making a five-minute short film, and I was startled to learn just how little of that time was actually spent filming. We wrote and rewrote the script for nearly a month, then spent another two weeks drawing simple storyboards to plan every camera angle before a single scene was recorded. Filming itself took only two Saturday afternoons, yet editing the footage afterward consumed nearly six additional weeks, as we combed through hours of raw clips to choose the handful of seconds that actually made it into the final version. Our advisor warned us early on that amateur filmmakers usually underestimate editing the most, assuming that a good script and decent camera work will carry a film on their own. By the time our short film premiered at the school festival, I understood that _______________.

Umbrellas and raincoats need proper care during the long rainy season. (A) In addition, check the umbrella's frame regularly for rust or broken parts. (B) First, dry a wet umbrella fully in a well-ventilated place before folding it. (C) It is also useful to wipe dirt and mud off the fabric with a soft cloth.

Physical education class often feels like the one period of the day when students can finally move freely, which sometimes leads them to skip the warm-up routine that teachers insist on before any real activity begins. (A) Beyond warming up, wearing proper footwear matters more than most students realize; running in worn-out sneakers with little grip left on the sole significantly raises the chance of a twisted ankle. (B) Coaches often compare an unwarmed muscle to a cold rubber band that snaps rather than stretches under sudden pressure. (C) Cold muscles, however, are noticeably less flexible than warmed ones, and stretching a stiff hamstring or ankle too quickly can cause a strain that keeps a student off the field for weeks.

That simple shift in attitude, from comparison to curiosity, was what finally allowed me to enjoy the exhibition. Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. ( ① ) For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. ( ② ) My art teacher noticed my hesitation and said something I did not expect: an exhibition is not a contest to find the single best picture, but a chance to show how differently people see the same world. ( ③ ) On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to messy, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. ( ④ ) Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself curious about why each artist had made certain choices. ( ⑤ ) Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single shared space.
