영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family ①decided to stay indoors for the entire day. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, ②where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that ③having a special exhibition about ocean animals. My younger brother was especially excited ④to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe ⑤that offered dozens of different games to choose from.

Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I ①noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. Some residents complained to the city office, ②calling it vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. 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 ③bothered to give it. This disagreement reveals a tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can ④labeling a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally. The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who ⑤gave permission to use the wall.

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.

During exam season last year, our school counselor introduced a weekly drop-in session where students could paint freely for thirty minutes without any instructions or grading. I attended mostly out of ①curiosity, expecting a relaxing but ultimately pointless activity, since I have never considered myself artistically talented. To my surprise, filling a blank page with color, without worrying whether the result looked good, left me noticeably ②calmer than scrolling through my phone during the same amount of free time. The counselor explained that art therapy does not aim to produce impressive paintings; it simply gives people a way to express feelings that are difficult to put into words, especially ③frustration or anxiety that builds up silently during a stressful week. Several classmates who initially came only to avoid studying kept ④returning on their own afterward. None of us left with a masterpiece, but many of us left the room feeling noticeably ⑤heavier than when we had walked in.

Dear residents, this notice explains how to use our apartment recycling area ①correctly. The recycling area, located behind the main entrance, is open every day from six to ten in the evening. First, sort your items into the ②labeled sections for paper, plastic, glass, and cans before dropping them off. Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be emptied, because dirty items are ③hard to recycle. However, please do not leave ④small furniture or electronics in this area at any time. Instead, contact the management office to arrange a separate pickup for those bulky items. For example, broken chairs and old refrigerators require a special sticker before collection. In contrast to ordinary trash, recyclable materials must never be mixed together in one bag. Following these simple rules keeps our shared space ⑤tidy for every family.

Riding a bicycle is a great way to stay active during summer vacation, but safety should always come ①first. Wearing a helmet is essential, since it can ②prevent serious head injuries in an accident. It is also important to wear bright or reflective clothing so that drivers can see you ③clearly. Riders should always follow traffic signals and ride in the same direction as traffic, never against it, since going against traffic makes accidents much ④less likely. Carrying a water bottle is wise, since dehydration can cause dizziness and affect your ⑤balance.

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.

Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning. Some drivers complain that the reduced speed limit wastes their time, especially when no children happen to be visible at that moment. This complaint misses an important fact about how children behave near traffic: _______________. A car traveling even ten kilometers per hour slower gives a driver several extra seconds to brake, often the exact difference between a frightening near miss and a tragedy.

Visualization is a simple technique that many successful goal-setters use, and it works in several different ways. (A) For example, a student who dreams of studying abroad might create a board filled with campus photos and a list of specific steps. (B) First, picturing a goal in detail, either by drawing pictures or writing descriptions, keeps the goal fresh and meaningful in a person's mind. (C) In addition, this habit helps the brain notice opportunities related to the goal and can even lower anxiety about the unknown future.
