영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

A loud, jarring alert sound ①interrupting a phone's normal notifications usually means one thing: a government agency has issued an emergency text to everyone in a specific area, warning of anything from a flash flood to a missing child. These messages are designed ②reaching people instantly, without requiring anyone to download an app or subscribe to a service in advance, since a disaster rarely waits for someone to prepare. Some residents complain that the alerts arrive too frequently or for events that feel minor, ③leading a small number of people to silence the notifications altogether. Safety officials warn that this response defeats the entire purpose of the system, since a person who ④mutes every alert for convenience will also miss the one message that truly demands immediate action. Unlike a weather app that must ⑤be checked voluntarily, an emergency alert pushes urgent information directly to a person's pocket.

Before a single line of dialogue is written for many animated shows, a character designer has already ①spending weeks deciding how that character should look, move, and be recognized at a glance. A visiting illustrator who spoke at our school explained that a truly successful design should be identifiable even as a plain black silhouette, since audiences often ②notice a character's outline before they notice any facial detail. She showed us early sketches of a now-famous cartoon hero, in which the same personality had ③been tested through dozens of different body shapes, from short and round to tall and angular, before the final version was chosen. Small choices, she added, carry surprising weight: rounded shapes tend to feel friendly and safe, while sharp angles ④suggest danger or power, even to viewers who have never studied design. I left the talk realizing that a character's personality ⑤is communicated through its silhouette long before it ever speaks a single word.

Have you ever thrown away an old pair of jeans simply because they no longer fit? Instead of ①discarding them, many people now turn old items into something new and useful. This creative process, ②called upcycling, transforms unwanted objects into products with greater value than before. For example, a worn pair of jeans can be cut and sewn into a sturdy bag or a small pouch. Old wooden pallets, ③once using for shipping, are often rebuilt into simple furniture such as tables and shelves. However, upcycling differs from ordinary recycling, ④which usually breaks materials down before making something new. In upcycling, the original material keeps most of its form while ⑤gaining a fresh purpose.

Summer vacation is a great time to go camping, but a safe trip requires ①careful preparation. First, pack enough water and snacks, since staying hydrated is ②essential in hot weather. Second, bring sunscreen and insect repellent, which will ③expose your skin to sunburn and bug bites. Check the weather forecast before you leave, and choose a campsite that is ④safe from flooding. A flashlight and extra batteries are also useful in case you need light after dark, and this small habit can make your trip much ⑤safer.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. Some students design and sell handmade jewelry online, while others create simple mobile apps as a hobby.
