영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Many students set a New Year goal ①to build a new habit, such as reading every night or exercising each morning. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still ②feels difficult. Researchers ③who studied this process found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something new, so you must ④rely on willpower. This is why experts suggest ⑤repeat a small action every single day, rather than aiming for a perfect performance right away.

This workbook is designed to help you set ①meaningful goals for the new year, so please read the instructions ②carefully before you begin. First, turn to page one and write down one goal you truly want to achieve this year. On page two, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps. If you fall behind schedule, do not simply ③give up; instead, revise your steps in pencil and keep moving forward. At the end of each month, write a short reflection about what worked well and what you might change. Completing this workbook will help you stay ④distracted and turn your goal into a real habit, so make sure to use it ⑤regularly.

Many people throw away items that they no longer need. However, some students have started to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. This practice, often called secondhand trading, takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps. When you buy a secondhand book or a used bicycle, you ①save money and reduce waste at the same time. For example, a jacket that no longer fits your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else. Giving an old item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. In contrast, throwing away useful items ②decreases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires ③little effort, protects both your ④wallet and the environment. Small choices like this can make a ⑤big difference for our planet.

This year's Club Festival will be held in the school gym and nearby classrooms next Friday. Visitors should first pick up a program map at the entrance to find each club's booth. Art and photography clubs will show their work in Classroom 201. Dance and music clubs will perform on the gym stage. Performances start every thirty minutes, so guests should arrive five minutes ①early. Because seating is ②unlimited, latecomers may need to stand at the back. Visitors may take photos, but please turn off the camera flash during performances. Food will be sold ③outside the gym, but drinks cannot be brought into the exhibition rooms. If you have questions, staff members wearing yellow vests will be ④glad to help. We hope everyone ⑤enjoys discovering what our clubs have worked on this semester.

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.

Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that gives every club a chance to ①shine. This year's festival will take place on October 15th, running from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is ②limited. The science club will present simple experiments that are both ③dangerous and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have ④created throughout the semester. The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly ⑤encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.

When Suji transferred to a new school in March, she knew no one in her class and felt lonely during lunch and breaks. Her homeroom teacher suggested _______________. Suji signed up for the photography club, though she had never taken photography seriously before. At the first meeting, older members taught her how to adjust a camera and find a good angle. Because everyone shared photos and gave friendly feedback each week, Suji gradually felt more comfortable with the other members. One rainy afternoon, a fellow member, Hana, invited her to photograph the flooded schoolyard together. They laughed while trying to keep their cameras dry, and that moment grew into a real friendship. By the end of the semester, Suji had a small group of friends who understood her sense of humor.

Many students think that reading a book quietly by themselves is enough, but book discussion classes add something that solo reading cannot provide. (A) When students explain their ideas out loud, they often discover thoughts they did not even know they had. Teachers who use discussion classes report that students remember plot details and themes far longer than students who only read silently and take a quiz afterward. (B) This happens because talking about a book forces the brain to organize scattered impressions into a clear argument. Discussion also teaches students to listen carefully, since they must respond directly to classmates instead of simply waiting for their own turn to speak. (C) Some students feel nervous about sharing their opinions at first, but most grow more confident after a few sessions. 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 silent homework.

From that day on, he looked at his tray with completely different eyes. Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of untouched rice and vegetables every day. ① Last spring, his class started a campaign called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste. At first, Minjun thought the campaign sounded boring and unnecessary for someone like him. ② However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a huge amount of waste. ③ She compared uneaten food to money dropped carelessly on the street, which nobody bothers to pick up. ④ This comparison surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. ⑤ He decided to take only what he could finish and to try new vegetables slowly. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always empty, and he felt proud of the change.

Once the initial tremor passes, however, the danger does not simply disappear. Earthquakes strike without any warning, which is exactly why the seconds immediately after the shaking begins matter more than any other moment in an emergency. ( ① ) Safety experts consistently teach the same three steps: drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. ( ② ) Many people instinctively want to run outside during a quake, imagining that open space is always safer than a building, but this instinct can be dangerous, since falling glass, signs, and debris often cause more injuries near exits and windows than sturdy interior spaces do. ( ③ ) Furniture that seems merely inconvenient during a fire drill, such as a heavy desk, becomes a lifesaving shield when the ceiling above begins to crack. ( ④ ) After the shaking stops, experts warn that the greatest remaining danger is often a damaged structure rather than a second earthquake. ( ⑤ ) So calmly checking for hazards before moving is just as important as reacting quickly at the first tremor.
