영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Seatbelts are so woven into the experience of riding in a car that many passengers buckle them without thinking, yet a surprising number of teenagers still skip them for short trips, ①assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. Traffic safety data tell a different story: most fatal crashes occur within a few kilometers of home, on roads drivers know so well that they ②let their guard down. In a collision, a body ③traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it. A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of ④concentrating it on the head and neck. Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those ⑤sat in the front.

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.

My cousin, who has never taken a single music lesson, recently used a composing app on her phone to write a short song for her friend's birthday video. Watching her work, I realized the app ①worsened much of the technical difficulty that used to stop beginners from composing at all, automatically keeping her melody in key and suggesting 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 ②pause said more than another note would have. She spent nearly an hour ③adjusting 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 ④lower the technical barrier to making music, but they do not remove the very human task of deciding what a piece of music is actually trying to ⑤say.

Online courses have become a popular way for students to learn practical job skills outside of school. Unlike traditional classes, these courses let learners study at their own pace and repeat difficult lessons as many times as needed. Many courses also include practical projects, so students can build a portfolio while they learn. However, taking an online course requires ___________, since no teacher checks whether students are keeping up. Experts recommend setting a fixed weekly schedule and finishing small assignments regularly.

When temperatures drop below freezing overnight, an invisible layer of black ice can form on sidewalks that look perfectly dry, catching even careful walkers off guard. Unlike a visibly icy patch, black ice reflects almost no light and blends into ordinary pavement, which is why _______________. Orthopedic doctors report a sharp rise in wrist and hip injuries every winter, most of them caused not by dramatic slips on icy hills but by a single unexpected step near a bus stop or a doorway.

Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of untouched rice and vegetables every day. Last spring, his class started a campaign called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste. At first, Minjun thought the campaign sounded boring and unnecessary for someone like him. However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a huge amount of waste. She compared uneaten food to _______________. This comparison surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. He decided to take only what he could finish and to try new vegetables slowly. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always empty, and he felt proud of the change. Other students noticed his effort and began doing the same thing.

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.

Many people believe that a college major decides a person's entire career path. (A) A history major, for example, might later succeed as a marketer or a policy analyst.

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.

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