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.

Every semester, students groan when the fire alarm rings for another routine drill, ①filing out of the building as if the exercise were simply a break from class. This casual attitude, however, overlooks why the drill exists in the first place. During an actual fire, thick smoke can fill hallways within minutes, ②cutting visibility to almost nothing and making it dangerously easy to panic or take a wrong turn. Repeating the same evacuation route again and again trains the body ③to move automatically, even when the mind is too frightened to think clearly. Firefighters note that students who ④have practiced an escape route calmly walk toward the nearest exit purely out of habit, while those unfamiliar with the building often freeze or hesitate at doorways. A fire drill that feels pointless in the classroom can therefore ⑤becoming the very reason a real evacuation succeeds without injury.

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: put the camera down for the first ten minutes and simply look around. At first this rule ①frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most ②interesting photographs. Instead of snapping dozens of rushed shots of the first flower or building they saw, they ③rushed toward a specific moment, a shadow falling at the right angle or a stranger's unplanned gesture, and captured only that. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only ④record what the photographer has already decided matters. Learning to look carefully, it turns out, is a skill that develops long before a finger ever touches the ⑤shutter button.

Seatbelts are so woven into the experience of riding in a car that many passengers buckle them without thinking, yet a surprising number of teenagers still skip them for short trips, assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry ①minimal risk. In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it. A seatbelt ②spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of ③concentrating it on the head and neck. Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains ④lower than for those sitting in the ⑤front.

Last spring, Mina joined the school environmental club because she wanted to make a difference. At first, she felt ①nervous about speaking in front of the other members. However, the club leader, who had been recycling for years, welcomed her ②warmly. Every Friday, the members walked around the school picking up trash near the playground. Mina soon realized that this weekly habit was like watering a small plant every day. For example, a single plastic bottle left outside could take hundreds of years to ③disappear. Therefore, the club decided to place clear recycling bins in every classroom. In contrast to her early doubts, Mina began to feel ④proud of the changes she noticed. Her classmates ⑤stopped separating cans and paper without being reminded by teachers. By the end of the semester, Mina had become an active member.

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. That morning taught me that _______________.

During exam season last year, our school counselor introduced a weekly drop-in session where students could paint freely for thirty minutes without any instructions or grading. I attended mostly out of curiosity, expecting a relaxing but ultimately pointless activity, since I have never considered myself artistically talented. To my surprise, filling a blank page with color, without worrying whether the result looked good, left me noticeably calmer than scrolling through my phone during the same amount of free time. The counselor explained that _______________. Several classmates who initially came only to avoid studying kept returning on their own afterward. None of us left with a masterpiece, but many of us left the room feeling noticeably lighter than when we had walked in.

Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. However, clean water is actually a limited resource that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. Taking a shorter shower is another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. Fixing a leaking faucet, which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. _______________.

Turning off lights when you leave a room seems like a tiny action, but it saves more energy than most people expect. (A) However, when an entire school forms this habit together, the total amount of saved energy becomes significant. Therefore, this small daily habit can create a surprisingly large positive effect for the whole planet. (B) Every light left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. For example, a single classroom light left on overnight can waste enough energy to charge dozens of phones. (C) This habit is similar to leaving a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. Both actions seem harmless in the moment, but they add up to a serious waste over time. Some students argue that a single light does not make much difference.

주어진 문장: Please make sure to write your goal clearly, since it will be shown to other students. Attention, all students! Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign to help everyone begin the year with clear direction. ( ① ) During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class.
