영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

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.

Willpower is like a muscle that ①become tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day. Many resolutions are unrealistic from the beginning, since people set goals ②that are far too difficult to reach in a short time, and when a goal feels impossible, people quickly lose motivation and ③stop trying. Most resolutions, such as ④losing weight or saving money, do not offer any immediate reward, so people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results. Understanding these reasons can help people ⑤design goals that are more realistic and rewarding.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she ①has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. When I first saw the cabinet, I ②assuming the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that the real challenge lies in ③imagining an entire, believable world at a scale the eye can barely process. She once spent three weekends ④carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough ⑤to fit inside a shoebox.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, ①tries to make small acts of kindness feel natural. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon ②talked with elderly residents. For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members collect used books and toys from classmates and ③donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel nervous before their first visit, unsure of what ④to say to strangers. However, most discover that a warm smile works better than perfect words. Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that ⑤caring for others grows into a lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.

Water looks ①limited 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 ②saves a surprising amount of water each day. Taking a shorter shower is another easy habit that reduces water use ③significantly. Fixing a leaking faucet, which many people ignore, can also ④save 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 ⑤precious resource. Everyone who cares about the environment should start saving water today.

Many students think that reading a book quietly by themselves is ①enough, but book discussion classes add something that solo reading cannot provide. When students explain their ideas out loud, they often ②discover thoughts they did not even know they had. Teachers who use discussion classes report that students remember plot details and themes far ③longer than students who only read silently and take a quiz afterward. This happens because talking about a book forces the brain to organize scattered impressions into a clear argument. Discussion also teaches students to listen ④carefully, since they must respond directly to classmates instead of simply waiting for their own turn to speak. For these reasons, many schools are now adding weekly discussion sessions to their reading programs, even for short stories that used to be assigned only as ⑤noisy homework.

Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, complaining that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too ①slowly. It is true that classic literature can be ②easier 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. Working through unfamiliar sentence patterns and vocabulary trains the brain to handle ③complex 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 ④centuries. Readers often discover that a character written hundreds of years ago struggles with feelings that still feel ⑤familiar today.

A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical ①emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once did. For someone with a severe allergy, even a trace amount of the wrong ingredient, transferred by a shared spoon or an unwashed hand, can trigger a reaction that closes the airway and becomes ②life-threatening if untreated. Friends of allergic students sometimes assume that a small bite would not cause serious harm, not realizing that the amount needed to trigger anaphylaxis can be ③larger than a crumb. Recognizing the early signs, such as swelling around the lips, hives, or sudden difficulty breathing, allows classmates and teachers to act before the reaction becomes ④severe. Many schools now train staff to use an epinephrine auto-injector, a device that can ⑤reverse a dangerous reaction within seconds.

One of the most overlooked risks is setting up a tent too close to a campfire, since a sudden gust of wind can carry a spark onto dry fabric faster than anyone expects. Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent can attract wildlife looking for food. Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since _______________. None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill; they simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

주어진 문장: In the end, these tiny victories combine to create something much bigger than you expected. Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too big to handle. ( ① ) A more effective approach is to break a large goal into smaller, manageable steps. ( ② ) Instead of focusing on the entire year, try setting a goal for just one week, such as learning twenty new words. ( ③ ) Once you complete that small step, move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal. ( ④ ) This method works because small tasks feel achievable, and completing them gives a sense of success, which encourages you to keep going. ( ⑤ ) Starting small is often the smartest way to reach a big dream.
