영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last week, I started feeling tired and ①had a mild headache every afternoon at school. My mother told me it might be air-conditioning sickness, ②which happens when people sit in a cold room for too long. After doing some research, I learned a few simple ways ③to prevent it. I began carrying a light jacket ④wearing indoors when the room felt too cold, and I made sure to drink warm water instead of only cold drinks. Within a few days, my headaches ⑤disappeared, and I felt much more energetic.

When summer vacation began, I decided to make a daily schedule so that I would not waste my free time. At first, my plan was too strict, with study sessions ①packed back to back and almost no breaks. After only three days, I felt exhausted and ②gave up on the schedule completely. My older sister suggested that I ③make a more realistic plan instead. I also learned to include short breaks between tasks, since resting actually ④helps me focus better afterward. Since making these changes, I ⑤has been able to follow my schedule much more consistently.

Many students ①take a career aptitude test at some point in high school. This test, ②which is designed to measure a person's interests and strengths, does not simply tell students which job to choose. Instead, it helps them understand themselves better. For example, a student ③who enjoy solving problems might discover a hidden interest in engineering. However, the results should ④be used only as a guide, not as a final answer. Therefore, students should treat the test as a useful starting point for ⑤exploring various career paths, rather than a fixed decision.

Central High School will host its annual career fair next Thursday. More than thirty companies will set up booths to introduce ①similar careers. Students can talk directly with workers from fields such as medicine, engineering, design, and media. Each booth will offer a short activity so visitors can ②experience a small part of the job. Teachers strongly ③encourage all students to attend. Meeting professionals in person often opens doors to careers students never ④considered before. The fair will end at 3 p.m., and light refreshments will be ⑤provided for all visitors.

Building a career portfolio is a great way to track your growth throughout high school. Start by choosing a ①format, such as a folder, a notebook, or a digital file. Include items like club activities, volunteer work, certificates, and sample projects that show your interests and skills. For each item, write a short reflection explaining what you learned and why it ②mattered to you. Update your portfolio regularly instead of waiting until graduation, since memories of small experiences ③strengthen quickly. Ask a teacher or mentor to review it occasionally and offer ④feedback. A well-organized portfolio helps you understand your own ⑤growth over time.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that _______________. She once spent three weekends carving 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 to fit inside a shoebox.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time. Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. The audience clapped warmly, and she realized _______________________.

However, even confident swimmers can get into trouble in open water. Summer is the best time to enjoy swimming pools, rivers, and beaches with family and friends. ( ① ) First, always swim in areas that are supervised by a lifeguard, and never swim alone, even if you are a strong swimmer. ( ② ) It is also important to check the weather and water conditions before entering the water, since strong currents and sudden storms can appear without warning. ( ③ ) Wearing a life jacket in open water is essential, especially for children and beginners. ( ④ ) Taking regular breaks during long swims helps prevent exhaustion. ( ⑤ ) Learning basic rescue skills is another good habit that could help you save a life someday.

This new emphasis on space, however, has not pleased everyone who cares deeply about libraries. For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay silent while they searched the shelves. ( ① ) Today, many public libraries look completely different. ( ② ) Alongside the usual shelves, you might find group study rooms, comfortable sofas for reading, computer labs, and even small recording studios for podcasts. ( ③ ) Librarians say this change did not happen by accident. As more information moved online, fewer people needed a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead. ( ④ ) The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out to be space itself: a warm, free place where students could study together, job seekers could print a resume, and children could attend a story hour. ( ⑤ ) Some critics worry that libraries are drifting away from their original mission of preserving books. Librarians respond that reading and gathering have always belonged together, and that a library survives only by changing with its readers.

Admission is free, but some food and activities require a small fee. The Riverside Summer Festival will take place from August 1st to August 3rd at Riverside Park. ( ① ) This annual event offers a variety of programs for visitors of all ages. ( ② ) During the day, local farmers and small businesses will sell fresh fruits, snacks, and handmade crafts at outdoor booths. ( ③ ) In the evening, live music performances and a fireworks show will light up the night sky. ( ④ ) Children can enjoy water games and face painting near the fountain area. ( ⑤ ) Visitors are encouraged to bring their own water bottles and use public transportation, since parking near the park is limited.
