영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Yesterday, I visited my school's career counselor because I felt ①excited about my future. I told her that I enjoyed both science and art, but I could not decide which subject to pursue. She listened ②carefully and then asked me a simple question: what activities make me lose track of time? I answered that designing posters for school events always felt ③exciting. She smiled and said that this kind of clue often ④reveals a genuine interest, more than any test score can. Our short conversation gave me a ⑤clearer sense of direction than weeks of worrying alone had.

Safety signs surround us so constantly that most people stop ①consciously reading them soon after learning to drive. This is precisely the outcome that sign designers hope to avoid, since a sign that requires careful thought to interpret in an emergency has already ②succeeded at its purpose. Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals ③caution, and green marks safety, a system consistent enough that a traveler in an unfamiliar country can often guess a sign's meaning without reading a word. Symbols replace text wherever possible for the same reason, allowing a running figure or a flame icon to communicate ④instantly to someone who may not speak the local language. Ignoring a familiar sign because it has become part of the background remains one of the most common and ⑤preventable causes of accidents in public spaces.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but _______________. 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 ruined 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 reused 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 carefully.

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.

For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay silent while they searched the shelves. (A) Librarians say this change did not happen by accident, since fewer people needed a library simply to find facts as more information moved online. (B) The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out to be space itself: a warm, free place where students could study together and children could attend a story hour. (C) Today, many public libraries look completely different, offering group study rooms, comfortable sofas, computer labs, and even small recording studios for podcasts alongside the usual shelves.

Interviewing people who already work in a field you are interested in can be very helpful. (A) They can also share honest advice about the challenges of the job, which you rarely find in books. (B) Such interviews let you hear firsthand stories about what a career is really like. (C) For this reason, many career guidance classes now include interview projects as part of their curriculum.

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. (A) It often starts with very small, easy steps, such as keeping a book in a bag or choosing a fixed time each day to read for just ten minutes. (B) These small routines work because they lower the effort needed to begin; once a student opens a book, continuing to read feels much easier than starting did. (C) Over weeks, these tiny actions add up, and reading slowly becomes something the student simply does, rather than something the student has to force.

This sudden and violent stop is precisely what causes so many of the most severe injuries in a crash. 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, assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. ( ① ) 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 let their guard down. ( ② ) In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it, and without a seatbelt, that something is often the windshield or the dashboard rather than a slower deceleration. ( ③ ) A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of concentrating it on the head and neck. ( ④ ) Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those sitting in the front. ( ⑤ )

At the time, I had no particular career goal in mind. Two years ago, I began volunteering at an animal shelter near my neighborhood on weekends. ( ① ) My tasks included feeding animals, cleaning cages, and helping visitors choose a pet to adopt. ( ② ) Over time, I noticed how much I enjoyed calming nervous or injured animals. ( ③ ) One rainy afternoon, a frightened puppy refused to eat, and I sat quietly beside it for over an hour until it finally relaxed. ( ④ ) I began researching careers in veterinary medicine and animal behavior, subjects I had never seriously considered before. ( ⑤ ) My volunteer work, which started as a simple hobby, slowly turned into the clearest career direction I had ever found.

주어진 문장: That is why many people quickly abandon their planners after just a few weeks. Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is harder. ( ① ) This guide offers simple tips for using a planner to manage your New Year goals. ( ② ) First, write one clear goal at the top of each month so you always remember your main target. ( ③ ) Second, break that goal into small weekly tasks instead of writing vague plans. ( ④ ) Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them. ( ⑤ ) Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying consistent matters more than being perfect.
