영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know ①what these marks mean. Each symbol contains a number ②that shows what material the item is made of. Reading these marks is similar to ③reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Likewise, ④throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must ⑤sorted separately.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but _______________. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. He showed them a machine that crushed plastic bottles into small pieces before they were sent to factories. Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, thrown into the wrong bin, often ruined an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. Walking home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered. She decided to sort her family's trash more carefully.

Every day, we leave behind marks of the gases that warm our planet, much like footprints left in wet sand. These marks, often called our carbon footprint, _______________. Many students think that only large factories create these marks, but ordinary habits at home also matter greatly. For example, turning off lights when leaving a room reduces the energy that power plants must produce. Walking or biking to school instead of riding in a car also lowers the amount of gas released into the air. In contrast, leaving devices plugged in all night quietly increases our footprint without our notice. Therefore, students who practice these simple habits regularly can shrink their footprint significantly. Small daily choices, repeated over time, become powerful tools for protecting the environment we all share.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. 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. _______________. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. 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. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.

In our elective fashion design class, the first assignment was not to sketch a beautiful outfit but to design clothing for a specific, unusual situation, such as a rainy commute or a wheelchair user's daily routine. (A) My final design looked far simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher praised it precisely because every choice solved a real problem the wearer would actually face. (B) Researching my chosen situation, a delivery worker who bikes through the city in all weather, changed how I approached the project entirely, since pockets needed to be reachable while cycling and waterproof fabric mattered more than decoration. (C) I initially found the assignment strange, since I had imagined fashion design as primarily about appearance rather than practical problem-solving.

Dear residents, we are writing to explain how to separate food waste correctly in our building. Many people still throw food waste into the general trash, which causes bad smells. Therefore, this notice describes the exact steps you should follow every day. (A) First, please use the special yellow bin near the parking lot for all food scraps. Fruit peels, vegetable ends, and leftover rice belong in this bin, not in a plastic bag. (B) However, hard items such as eggshells and bones must go into the general trash instead. In addition, please drain excess liquid from your food waste before throwing it away. (C) This simple habit, which only takes a few seconds, keeps the area clean and dry. For example, tea bags should never be placed in the food waste bin. Thank you for helping our neighborhood stay pleasant.

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. (A) I attended mostly out of curiosity, expecting a relaxing but ultimately pointless activity, since I have never considered myself artistically talented. (B) 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. (C) The counselor explained that art therapy does not aim to produce impressive paintings; it simply gives people a way to express feelings that are difficult to put into words.

This sudden and violent stop is precisely what causes so many of the most severe injuries in a crash. 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 much risk. ( ① ) Traffic safety data tell a different story: most fatal crashes occur within a few kilometers of home, on roads drivers know so well that they let their guard down. ( ② ) In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it, and without a seatbelt, that something is often the windshield or the dashboard rather than a slower deceleration. ( ③ ) A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of concentrating it on the head and neck. ( ④ ) Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those sitting in the front. ( ⑤ )

Not everyone welcomes this shift, though. Audiobooks have grown rapidly in popularity over the past several years, and many commuters now listen to novels instead of reading printed pages. ( ① ) Publishers report that audiobook sales continue to rise every year, while the growth of printed book sales has slowed. ( ② ) Part of the appeal is convenience, since listeners can enjoy a story while driving, exercising, or doing housework. ( ③ ) Some traditional readers argue that listening to a book is not the same as truly reading it, because the listener does not process written words directly. ( ④ ) Researchers who study this question have found that comprehension scores for listeners and readers are usually very similar, as long as the material is not too complex. ( ⑤ ) The biggest difference tends to appear with dense, technical material, which is often easier to follow in print, but for most everyday reading, the debate over audiobooks may matter less than simply finding a format that keeps people engaged with stories.

주어진 문장: For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. ① If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. ② Therefore, our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. ③ Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. ④ The box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use. ⑤ However, batteries that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.
