영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

My cousin, who has never taken a single music lesson, recently ①used a composing app on her phone to write a short song for her friend's birthday video. Watching her work, I realized the app ②handled much of the technical difficulty that used to stop beginners from composing at all, automatically keeping her melody in key and ③suggesting chords that matched the mood she selected. What the app could not do, however, was decide which four notes actually felt right for the opening line, or when a pause said more than another note would have. She spent nearly an hour ④adjusting a single short phrase until it matched the feeling she wanted to capture, deleting and replaying it dozens of times. Watching her patient trial and error, I understood that these tools lower the technical barrier to making music, but they do not remove the very human task of ⑤decide what a piece of music is actually trying to say.

Summer vacation is a great time ①go camping with family or friends. First, pack enough water and snacks, since staying hydrated and energized ②is essential in hot weather. Second, bring sunscreen and insect repellent ③to protect your skin from sunburn and bug bites. In addition, check the weather forecast before you leave, and choose a campsite ④that is safe from flooding. Make sure your tent is set up on flat, dry ground away from trees ⑤that could fall in strong wind.

When someone's heart suddenly stops beating, the brain begins ①to suffer damage within minutes unless blood keeps circulating, which is why the actions taken by an ordinary bystander before paramedics arrive can matter as much as the treatment given at the hospital. Studies show that a person who ②receives CPR immediately from someone nearby is far more likely to survive than one who waits for professional help to arrive. Despite this, many people hesitate to start chest compressions, ③worried that they might break a rib or make the situation worse. Medical instructors respond to this fear: a cracked rib heals, but a brain ④depriving of oxygen for too long does not. Modern CPR training has also been simplified, focusing on firm, rhythmic chest compressions rather than the more complicated combination of breaths and compressions once required, ⑤making the skill easier for ordinary students to learn and remember under pressure.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready to talk about a book they have all just ①finished. This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience ②completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and ③frequently questions it again. In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else understood the whole story. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. What began as a simple reading habit has slowly grown into one of the most meaningful ④friendships of their week, according to ⑤many members.

Every summer, doctors warn about the danger of heatstroke, a serious condition in which ___________. This condition can be life-threatening if it is not treated quickly. To prevent heatstroke, drink plenty of water throughout the day, avoid outdoor activities during the hottest hours, and wear light, loose clothing.

The Greenfield Public Library will offer a variety of special programs for students during summer vacation. From July 20th to August 14th, students can join reading clubs, writing workshops, and science experiment classes. ___________. Interested students should sign up at the front desk or through the library's website before space runs out.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important is lost on a screen: _______________. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever.

Students who read many books across many different subjects often develop a habit that quieter learners sometimes lack: the habit of comparing new information with what they already know. (A) A student who has read about ancient wars, ocean ecosystems, and modern economics can more easily notice when two different subjects share a similar pattern. (B) This kind of connection-making is closely related to what psychologists call critical thinking, since seeing a familiar pattern in an unfamiliar topic allows a person to ask sharper questions instead of accepting new information at face value. (C) Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, and teachers often notice that widely read students argue more carefully, supporting their opinions with specific examples rather than vague generalizations.

Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. (A) Some residents complained to the city office, calling it vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. (B) 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 bothered to give it. (C) This disagreement reveals a tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful piece can be labeled a crime, yet many cities now invite artists to paint designated walls legally.

During the sports day relay race, Jun was nervous, and his hands were shaking as he waited for the baton. When his turn came, he grabbed the baton but nearly dropped it while turning the first corner. (A) As he handed the baton smoothly to the next runner, he realized that the team's effort mattered more than his mistake. (B) His teammates, watching from the field, shouted his name and encouraged him to keep running. Even though Jun felt embarrassed, their cheering gave him confidence to focus on the runner ahead of him. (C) After the race, his teammates gathered around him and said that his recovery had kept the team in the competition. Jun understood then that teamwork means supporting each other even after something goes wrong. His class did not win first place, but they celebrated together as if they had.
