영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Many readers assume that once they finish a book, there is no reason to open it again. Yet teachers who study reading often ①disagree, arguing that a second reading can reveal details a first reading ②misses completely. During a first reading, most of a student's attention goes toward simply following the plot, ③wondering what will happen next. Once the ending is already known, a second reading frees the mind ④notice smaller things, such as a clever hint the author placed early in the story or a change in a character's tone. Teachers therefore encourage students not to rush toward new titles alone, but to occasionally return to a book they already ⑤loved, since a second visit often teaches more than the first.

During exam season last year, our school counselor ①introduced a weekly drop-in session where students could paint freely for thirty minutes without any instructions or grading. I attended mostly out of curiosity, ②expecting 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, ③left me noticeably calmer 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 ④express feelings that are difficult to put into words, especially frustration or anxiety that builds up silently during a stressful week. Several classmates who initially came only to avoid studying kept ⑤returning on their own afterward.

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.

A goal should be specific, meaning you describe exactly what you want to do instead of using ①vague words. It should also be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers such as pages read or minutes exercised. Being achievable means the goal ②fits your current situation and is not too difficult to reach. A relevant goal truly ③matters to your life and interests, and a time-bound goal has a clear deadline that pushes you to take action instead of waiting. Setting goals this way turns vague wishes into ④unclear plans, which are much ⑤easier to follow through every single day.

On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. Instead of making separate plans, we decided to write our goals ①together on one sheet of paper. At first, it felt ②exciting, but after two weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit. Yuna noticed my short replies and ③ignored me instead of just texting. She reminded me why I had chosen this goal in the first place, and her words gave me new ④energy. Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us successfully ⑤reached our goals by spring.

Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is ①harder. This guide offers simple tips for using a planner to manage your New Year goals. First, write one ②clear goal at the top of each month so you always remember your main target. Second, break that goal into small weekly tasks instead of writing ③vague plans. Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them. Reviewing your notes every Sunday helps you notice patterns in your habits. Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying ④careless matters more than being perfect. These habits can turn your planner into a ⑤powerful tool for reaching your goals.

Summer brings a wide variety of delicious fruits, but many of them ①spoil quickly in the heat. Fruits such as watermelon and melon should be kept in the refrigerator once they are cut, since exposure to warm air ②slows down spoiling. Berries are especially delicate and should not be washed until just before eating, because moisture ③encourages mold to grow. Bananas turn black quickly in cold air, so they are best kept on the counter. Wrapping cut fruit tightly in plastic wrap helps keep it ④fresh longer, giving you a few extra days to enjoy its natural ⑤sweetness.

Last month, I attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, where students practiced writing short news scripts and reading them in front of a camera. It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera recorded my every move felt strange at first. By the second day, however, I began to enjoy the challenge, and my confidence grew with each attempt. The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave ___________ rather than simple praise, which helped us improve quickly.

Dear members of the Debate Club, I am writing to let you know that our regular meeting time has been changed. (A) Please bring the debate topic that you prepared last week, since we will practice our arguments together. If you cannot attend the new meeting time, please reply to this email by Tuesday evening. (B) We usually meet in Room 304 every Wednesday after school, but the room will be used for sports day practice next week. Instead, our meeting will be held in the library on Thursday at the same time. (C) We also need two volunteers to arrange the chairs and tables before the meeting begins. Mr. Park, our club advisor, will join us this time to give feedback on our speaking skills. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment, since used batteries contain harmful chemicals that should never be thrown away with regular trash. (A) If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants, so our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. (B) We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe, and thank you for your cooperation and kindness. (C) Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can, since the box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use.
