영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

A goal should be specific, meaning you describe exactly what you want to do instead of using ①vague words. It should also be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers such as pages read or minutes exercised. Being achievable means the goal ②fits your current situation and is not too difficult to reach. A relevant goal truly ③matters to your life and interests, and a time-bound goal has a clear deadline that pushes you to take action instead of waiting. Setting goals this way turns vague wishes into ④unclear plans, which are much ⑤easier to follow through every single day.

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family decided to stay indoors for the entire day. At first, I worried that staying inside would be ①boring, but we found several fun activities to enjoy together. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an ②instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that had a special exhibition, and my younger brother was especially ③excited to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe. By the time we got home, I realized that indoor activities could be just as ④boring as outdoor ones, especially during a ⑤heatwave.

I made sure to drink ①cold water instead of only cold drinks, and I began carrying a light jacket to wear indoors when the room felt too ②cold. I also started stretching and walking around every hour instead of sitting still all day, which helped me feel more ③energetic. Within a few days, my headaches ④disappeared, and I felt much more ⑤healthy.

Setting a career plan early in high school offers several important benefits. First, having a general direction helps students choose subjects and activities that support their goals. Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful. However, an effective career plan should remain flexible, since interests and circumstances often change during the teenage years. Career counselors therefore recommend reviewing a plan every few months and adjusting it based on new experiences. In this way, careful planning does not limit a student's future; instead, it provides ___________.

Yuna and I decided to set our New Year goals together instead of separately, and our journey had several stages. (A) Thanks to her encouragement, I remembered why I had started, and we both kept going until we reached our goals by spring. (B) At first, we each wrote down our own goal and agreed to text each other every night about our progress. (C) After a couple of weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit, but Yuna noticed my short replies and called me.

Jihun's new year resolution to study English two hours a day did not go as planned. (A) He studied exactly as planned for the first three days, but on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he felt too exhausted. (B) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small change made a big difference.

Every spring, the art club at Sejong High School creates one large mural together instead of individual paintings. The process begins with a session where members suggest themes and vote on their favorite idea. (A) Therefore, members regularly step back to compare their section with the rest of the mural. After several weekends, the teams combine their sections into a single image, and the finished mural is displayed near the entrance. (B) Once a theme is chosen, the club divides into small teams, each responsible for one section of the wall. One team sketches the outline while another mixes colors to match the design. (C) Communication becomes essential at this stage, since each section must connect smoothly with the ones beside it. If one team paints too dark a shade, the whole picture can look unbalanced.

Summer sunlight can be harmful to your skin, but a few habits can protect you. (A) In addition, wearing a hat and sunglasses helps shield your face and eyes from direct sunlight. (B) First, apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going outside, and reapply it every two hours. (C) Finally, try to stay in the shade during the hours when UV rays are strongest.

Such shortcuts might seem harmless when nothing goes wrong the first few times. Science labs feel far safer than they actually are, largely because the equipment looks harmless and the experiments are carefully planned by a teacher. ( ① ) This false sense of security leads some students to skip small precautions, such as wearing safety goggles for a "simple" experiment or tasting a substance out of curiosity. ( ② ) Chemical reactions, however, do not distinguish between a professional laboratory and a classroom; a small amount of the wrong substance splashed into an eye can cause permanent damage within seconds, regardless of how basic the experiment seemed. ( ③ ) Teachers repeatedly emphasize reading each instruction before touching any material, since even a familiar-looking chemical can behave unpredictably when combined with something new. ( ④ ) Most laboratory accidents, researchers note, do not happen during advanced or unusual experiments but during routine ones that students have performed many times before. ( ⑤ ) This is precisely because familiarity breeds carelessness rather than caution.

The reading club, designed for younger students, encourages children to read at least one book per week. The Greenfield Public Library will offer a variety of special programs for students during summer vacation. ( ① ) From July 20th to August 14th, students can join reading clubs, writing workshops, and science experiment classes held every weekday. ( ② ) The writing workshop helps older students improve their essay skills through fun and creative exercises. ( ③ ) In addition, the library will host a special lecture series on careers. ( ④ ) All programs are free, but registration is required in advance because space is limited. ( ⑤ ) Interested students should sign up at the front desk or through the library's website.
