영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and smiled at how much ①has changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, ②which was still more than the year before. Saving money was harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses ③kept appearing. My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, and I now run almost every morning without ④feeling forced. Looking back, I realized that progress does not always match the original plan, and what matters more is that I kept trying, adjusted my methods, and ⑤to learn something new about myself along the way.

Every January, our school invites a graduate ①to share advice, and last week a former student named Minho visited our class. Three years ago, he was a shy sophomore ②who dreamed of becoming a science teacher but doubted his own grades. Instead of ③studying everything at once, he focused on one weak subject each month and asked his teachers for extra help. He also found a study partner ④shared the same goal, and they checked each other's progress every week. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, ⑤proving that steady effort truly pays off.

Summer heat can be just as dangerous for pets ①as it is for people. Dogs and cats cannot cool their bodies as easily as humans, so owners must ②take extra care during hot days. Avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement ③can burn sensitive paws. Never leave a pet alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes, because the temperature inside ④rising dangerously fast. If your pet seems unusually tired or ⑤refuses to move, contact a veterinarian right away.

Many students take a career aptitude test at some point in high school. This test is ①designed to measure a person's interests, strengths, and personality traits. It does not simply tell students which job to choose; instead, it helps them ②understand themselves better. For example, a student who enjoys solving problems might discover a ③hidden interest in engineering. However, the results should be used only as a guide, not as a ④temporary answer. Therefore, students should treat the test as a useful starting point, rather than a fixed decision that ⑤limits their future choices.

Are you ① 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 ② required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. 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 ③ favorite photos. Members are also ④ 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 ⑤ former member if you have questions about joining.

For the first week, she woke up early and ran ①happily, feeling proud of her new habit. However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether, which made her feel ②confident about her progress. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too ③difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was ④warmer and she had more energy. She kept running three times a week, and by spring, she had grown much stronger and more ⑤positive.

The student council reminds all club members about the rules for using the club activity room. First, every club must sign up for a time slot on the reservation sheet. Members should arrive on time and leave the room within ten minutes after their activity ends. Because several clubs share the same space, food and drinks are not allowed inside the room. Members must also return chairs and tables to their original positions before leaving. If equipment is broken or missing, the club leader should report it to the teacher. Clubs that ignore these rules may lose their reservation for the following month. Please also remember to turn off the lights and lock the door carefully. These simple habits will _______________.

On January 1st, I decided to become a healthier person and wrote down three goals: exercising three times a week, reading one book every month, and sleeping before midnight. During the first week, I followed my plan without any trouble, but by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too tired after school. That was when I learned that _______________. My friend Mina noticed that I looked discouraged, so she offered to exercise with me after class, and having a partner made the habit much easier to keep. I also moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read a few pages every night. By the end of January, I had finished two books and jogged more than ten times.

When I told my parents I wanted to become a musician, I expected them to worry about money and stability. Instead, my father surprised me by asking what kind of music made me feel most alive. My mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a painter herself, admitted that she still wondered what her life might have looked like. Their honesty made me realize that parents' influence on career choices is not always about pressure or control. ___________ Still, my parents' support taught me that the most helpful kind of guidance often respects a child's own voice instead of replacing it.

Whether or not a goal is motivating often depends on how clear it is. (A) For example, a student who simply decides to study harder often loses direction because the plan is too vague. (B) In contrast, a student who sets a clear goal, such as raising an English score by ten points, knows exactly what to do every day. (C) This is because a clear goal gives the brain an exact target to focus on, which makes progress easy to measure and keeps people motivated.
