영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

When I joined the school broadcasting club two years ago, I only ①wanted to spend time with friends who shared my interests. Gradually, however, the club ②became something much more meaningful. I learned how to write short scripts, operate basic cameras, and ③editing simple video clips for school events. Our club also produced a short documentary about a local market, ④which taught me how much planning goes into even a five-minute video. What began as a casual after-school activity ⑤ended up shaping a clear direction for my future career.

Last spring, I joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. At first, I was ①nervous about talking to real patients. However, after helping an elderly patient find her room, I felt ②proud and relaxed. The busiest moment came when several patients needed attention at once, and the nurses worked together ③calmly. I realized that teamwork matters as much as medical knowledge, and my interest in nursing had grown even ④stronger. This short experience taught me ⑤less about the job than any book could.

Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to ①reduce 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 ②invisible at that moment. This complaint misses an important fact about how children behave near traffic: young students often ③lack the judgment to predict how far a car will travel before it can stop, and they may step off the curb chasing a ball or a friend without checking either direction. A car traveling even ten kilometers per hour slower gives a driver several extra ④seconds to brake, often the exact difference between a frightening near miss and a tragedy. For this reason, cities have begun installing cameras that automatically fine drivers who ⑤ignore the posted limit near schools.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to ①restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig ②proper holes without harming the tree roots. In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to ③die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed ④closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for ⑤costly.

Many readers assume that once they finish a book, there is no reason to open it again. Yet teachers who study reading often disagree, arguing that a second reading can reveal details a first reading misses completely. During a first reading, most of a student's attention goes toward simply following the plot, wondering what will happen next. Once the ending is already known, _______________. Some students who reread their favorite novel report that it feels almost like reading a different book, because they now understand the characters' motives more deeply.

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 _______________.

When someone's heart suddenly stops beating, the brain begins to 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. (A) Studies show that a person who receives CPR immediately from someone nearby is far more likely to survive than one who waits for professional help to arrive. (B) Despite this, many people hesitate to start chest compressions, worried that they might break a rib or make the situation worse. (C) Medical instructors respond to this fear: a cracked rib heals, but a brain deprived of oxygen for too long does not.

For our club's spring project, we were told to create a sculpture using only materials collected from the school's recycling bins, and my first reaction was disappointment at not being allowed to buy proper art supplies. (A) Sorting through flattened cardboard, broken umbrella frames, and plastic bottle caps, I initially saw nothing but trash. (B) My perspective shifted once a senior member showed me a piece she had built the previous year, a bird made entirely of bent bicycle spokes and bottle caps, each cap functioning as a single feather. (C) She explained that upcycling art forces a creator to notice a material's natural shape and texture rather than simply painting over it, which often produces more original results than starting with a blank, expensive canvas.

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.

Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. (A) Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs. (B) A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. (C) Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk feels distant and unlikely, but most accidents actually happen close to home, on familiar streets where riders feel too comfortable to expect danger.
