영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

When someone's heart suddenly stops beating, the brain begins ①to suffer damage within minutes unless blood keeps circulating, which is why the actions taken by an ordinary bystander before paramedics arrive can matter as much as the treatment given at the hospital. Studies show that a person who ②receives CPR immediately from someone nearby is far more likely to survive than one who waits for professional help to arrive. Despite this, many people hesitate to start chest compressions, ③worried that they might break a rib or make the situation worse. Medical instructors respond to this fear: a cracked rib heals, but a brain ④depriving of oxygen for too long does not. Modern CPR training has also been simplified, focusing on firm, rhythmic chest compressions rather than the more complicated combination of breaths and compressions once required, ⑤making the skill easier for ordinary students to learn and remember under pressure.

Choosing a college major is one of the biggest decisions many students ①faces after high school. Some students assume that their major will completely determine their future career, but this is not always true. A student ②who majors in history might later become a successful marketer. What matters more than the major itself is the set of skills a student develops, such as critical thinking, writing, and ③problem solving. These abilities can ④be applied to almost any career. However, choosing a major that genuinely interests a student still matters, because motivation makes learning ⑤easier and more effective.

Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student is ①invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal ②clearly. Students who wish to participate must submit a ③short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. Prizes will be given for the most ④creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, chosen by a panel of teachers. Participation is completely ⑤mandatory, so students who prefer not to present are still welcome to attend and watch.

Picture books are usually written for young children, but a growing number of adults are picking them up for themselves. At first glance, a picture book seems too simple for someone who has already learned to read long novels. However, many picture books deal with serious themes, such as loss, fear, and change, using only a few carefully chosen words, which means that _______________. This slower pace can feel calming for adults who are used to rushing through long articles and constant notifications.

Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. However, experts suggest that _______________. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.

Speed-reading courses promise a simple result: read several times faster while understanding just as much as before. (A) In careful studies, speed-reading graduates often score no better on comprehension tests than ordinary readers who read at a normal pace, and for difficult material, there may be no real shortcut around attentive reading. (B) The techniques usually involve moving your eyes quickly down the page, skipping small words, and avoiding the habit of silently pronouncing each word, and some students do learn to move their eyes faster after a short course. (C) However, researchers who study reading have found a serious problem with these claims, since understanding a text depends on how deeply your brain processes each sentence, not simply on how quickly your eyes move.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. (A) A good list should also include stories from different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too, since a book that is too difficult can make a student give up on reading altogether. (B) Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, the best list keeps changing to match its readers. (C) Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles, because teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites.

Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, complaining that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too slowly. (A) Readers often discover that a character written hundreds of years ago struggles with feelings that still feel familiar today. For these reasons, many teachers argue that classics deserve a place on every reading list, not because they are old, but because they are still relevant. (B) It is true that classic literature can be harder to read than a modern bestseller written in casual, everyday language. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today. (C) Working through unfamiliar sentence patterns and vocabulary trains the brain to handle complex texts, a skill that transfers directly to other subjects and to standardized tests. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that have not changed much across centuries.

Surveys show that fewer than half of teenage cyclists put one on before every ride. Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. ( ① ) Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. ( ② ) However, most bicycle accidents happen close to home, on familiar streets where riders feel too comfortable to expect danger. ( ③ ) A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. ( ④ ) Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs. ( ⑤ )

주어진 문장: No experience is necessary, so anyone who cares about nature is welcome to join. Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. ① This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. ② Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. ③ Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. ④ In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed closely by every volunteer. ⑤ Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.
