영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once ①did. For someone with a severe allergy, even a trace amount of the wrong ingredient, transferred by a shared spoon or an unwashed hand, can ②triggers a reaction that closes the airway and becomes life-threatening if untreated. Friends of allergic students sometimes assume that a small bite would not cause serious harm, not ③realizing that the amount needed to trigger anaphylaxis can be smaller than a crumb. Recognizing the early signs, such as swelling around the lips, hives, or sudden difficulty breathing, allows classmates and teachers ④to act before the reaction becomes severe. Many schools now train staff to use an epinephrine auto-injector, a device that can reverse a dangerous reaction within seconds, because waiting for paramedics ⑤to arrive can cost a student the few minutes that make the difference between recovery and tragedy.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, ①which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be ②used again and again for many years. Therefore, ③using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. For example, students ④who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still ⑤purchases a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.

The city government has launched a summer energy-saving campaign to ①reduce electricity use during the hottest months. Using fans together with air conditioners cools rooms more efficiently while using ②more power. To prevent blackouts, residents are asked to set air conditioners no lower than twenty-six degrees Celsius, which helps save ③energy. Businesses are asked to dim unnecessary outdoor signs after ten at night. Families who reduce their electricity use by more than ten percent will receive a ④discount on their next bill, which is a nice ⑤reward for their effort.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She had expected the place to be ①dirty and unpleasant, but the center looked ②clean and well organized. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. He showed them a machine that crushed plastic bottles into small pieces before they were sent to factories. Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, thrown into the wrong bin, often ③preserved an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be ④reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. Walking home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered. She decided to sort her family's trash more ⑤carefully.

Our school's book club, Page Turners, meets every Wednesday to discuss a book the members chose. At the start of each month, students suggest titles and vote to pick one. This way, everyone feels some ownership over what the club reads next. Before each meeting, members read several chapters and prepare a few questions. During the meeting, the leader opens discussion by asking a question about the story's main idea. Then members take turns sharing their opinions, even when they disagree with each other. For example, students once argued for a long time about a character's difficult choice. Such debates, though sometimes loud, help members understand different points of view. At the end of the semester, the club holds an event to recommend favorite books. Through this process, reading becomes _______________.

Jihun made a resolution to study English for two hours every day, and for the first three days, he followed his plan perfectly. However, on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted, and his resolution soon disappeared completely. Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister, who told him that _______________. Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt much less overwhelming. He kept it every day for a month and eventually reached his original goal.

Sorting your trash correctly is one of the simplest habits that protect our environment. (A) For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. (B) Likewise, mixing recyclables with ordinary trash makes the whole recycling process complicated. Many students believe that sorting trash takes too much time, but it actually requires only a few extra seconds. Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that benefits your entire community. (C) When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing has its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding what you need later becomes difficult.

Attention, students! Our school festival is going green this year, and we truly need your help. This event aims to reduce the disposable waste that usually piles up during the celebration. (A) First, please bring your own cup, plate, and utensils to every food booth you visit. Second, each booth should use reusable decorations rather than paper banners that get thrown away within hours. (B) If your booth needs supplies, please contact the student council office before Friday. Let us work together to create a festival that is both fun and eco-friendly. (C) Students who join as Green Helpers will manage the recycling stations, sorting cans, bottles, and paper carefully all day long. Therefore, everyone's small cooperation will directly lower the amount of trash sent to the landfill. However, single-use plastic bags are strictly prohibited at every booth this year.

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.

Students who treat their plan as fixed forever may feel unnecessarily anxious when their goals shift. Setting a career plan early in high school offers several important benefits. ( ① ) First, having a general direction helps students choose subjects and activities that support their goals, instead of picking them randomly. ( ② ) Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful rather than simply a routine task. ( ③ ) However, an effective career plan should remain flexible, since interests and circumstances often change during the teenage years. ( ④ ) Career counselors therefore recommend reviewing a plan every few months and adjusting it based on new experiences. ( ⑤ ) In this way, careful planning does not limit a student's future; instead, it provides a clear yet adaptable path toward genuine personal growth and long-term satisfaction.
