영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

On Saturday afternoons, the small square near my house fills with the sound of a street guitarist who sets up his amplifier beside the fountain. At first, I assumed busking was simply a way for musicians to earn a little ①pocket money, but watching him more closely changed my mind. He does not merely play requests; he studies the mood of the crowd and ②adjusts his set list on the spot, slowing down for a tired evening walker or speeding up when children start dancing nearby. Unlike a concert hall performance, a street show has no fixed stage and no guaranteed ③audience, so the musician must win people's attention within the first few seconds or lose them to their phones. This constant negotiation between performer and passerby, I realized, is itself a kind of art, one that depends as much on ④ignoring people as it does on playing an instrument, which is why I now find busking far more ⑤impressive than I originally expected.

Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. Part of the problem is that danger in water rarely looks ①dramatic; a swimmer struggling to stay afloat often makes little noise and shows no obvious signs of panic, which means bystanders may not realize help is needed until it is too late. Rip currents present a particularly ②deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore. Experts advise that anyone caught in such a current should swim parallel to the beach rather than struggling directly against it, since fighting the current head-on quickly ③strengthens even a strong swimmer. Simple habits, such as swimming near a lifeguard station and never entering the water alone, dramatically ④lower the risk of a minor mistake turning into a fatal ⑤one.

Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always _______________. Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

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. 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. However, _______________. 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. Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs.

Summer heat can be just as dangerous for pets as it is for people, because ___________. Owners must therefore provide plenty of fresh water, avoid walking pets during the hottest hours, and never leave them alone in a parked car.

For our club's spring project, we were told to create a sculpture using only materials collected from the school's recycling bins, and my first reaction was disappointment at not being allowed to buy proper art supplies. (A) Sorting through flattened cardboard, broken umbrella frames, and plastic bottle caps, I initially saw nothing but trash. (B) My perspective shifted once a senior member showed me a piece she had built the previous year, a bird made entirely of bent bicycle spokes and bottle caps, each cap functioning as a single feather. (C) She explained that upcycling art forces a creator to notice a material's natural shape and texture rather than simply painting over it, which often produces more original results than starting with a blank, expensive canvas.

Sunny Beach Rentals makes it easy for visitors to enjoy the beach without buying their own gear. (A) To rent equipment, visitors simply need to show identification and pay a small refundable deposit. (B) Customers can choose from beach umbrellas, folding chairs, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and life jackets. (C) Renters must return all items by six in the evening, since the shop closes shortly after sunset.

Physical education class often feels like the one period of the day when students can finally move freely, which sometimes leads them to skip the warm-up routine that teachers insist on before any real activity begins. (A) Beyond warming up, wearing proper footwear matters more than most students realize; running in worn-out sneakers with little grip left on the sole significantly raises the chance of a twisted ankle. (B) Coaches often compare an unwarmed muscle to a cold rubber band that snaps rather than stretches under sudden pressure. (C) Cold muscles, however, are noticeably less flexible than warmed ones, and stretching a stiff hamstring or ankle too quickly can cause a strain that keeps a student off the field for weeks.

Every semester, students groan when the fire alarm rings for another routine drill, filing out of the building as if the exercise were simply a break from class. (A) During an actual fire, thick smoke can fill hallways within minutes, cutting visibility to almost nothing and making it dangerously easy to panic or take a wrong turn. (B) This casual attitude, however, overlooks why the drill exists in the first place. (C) Repeating the same evacuation route again and again trains the body to move automatically, even when the mind is too frightened to think clearly.

Not everyone in the neighborhood, however, shared that reaction. Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. ( ① ) Some residents complained to the city office, calling it vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. ( ② ) Others argued that the same wall had been an ugly, forgotten eyesore for years, and that the graffiti artist had simply given it a voice no one else bothered to give it. ( ③ ) This disagreement reveals a tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can be labeled a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally, hoping to channel that same creative energy into something the whole neighborhood can enjoy. ( ④ ) The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who gave permission to use the wall. ( ⑤ )
