영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

문제 1

Last spring, I ①joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. I had always been curious about becoming a nurse, so I signed up without hesitation. A kind nurse ②named Ms. Park showed me around the ward, ③explaining how nurses check patients' conditions. At first, I was nervous about talking to real patients. However, after ④help an elderly patient find her room, I felt proud and relaxed. I realized that teamwork ⑤matters as much as medical knowledge.

문제 2

Online courses have become a popular way for students ①to learn practical job skills outside of school. Unlike traditional classes, these courses let learners ②study at their own pace and repeat difficult lessons as many times as needed. Many courses also include practical projects, ③allow students to build a portfolio while they learn. Experts recommend ④setting a fixed weekly schedule and finishing small assignments regularly. Choosing a course with clear reviews and a well-organized structure also matters, because poorly designed courses can ⑤waste valuable time.

문제 3

Picture books are usually written for young children, but a growing number of adults are ①picking them up for themselves. At first glance, a picture book seems too simple for someone who has already ②learned to read long novels. However, many picture books deal with serious themes, such as loss, fear, and change, using only a few carefully ③choosing words. Because the text is short, every sentence carries extra weight, and readers naturally ④slow down to notice small details in the pictures. This slower pace can feel calming for adults who are used to rushing through long articles and constant notifications. A picture book can also be finished in a single sitting, which makes it easy to return to the same story again and again. For these reasons, therapists and teachers sometimes recommend picture books not only to children but also to stressed adults ⑤who need a quiet moment.

문제 4

When summer vacation began, I decided to make a daily schedule so that I would not waste my free time. At first, my plan was too ①strict, with study sessions packed back to back and almost no breaks. After only three days, I felt exhausted and gave up on the schedule completely. My older sister recommended setting two or three main goals for each day rather than filling every single hour, which sounded much more ②relaxed. I also learned to include short breaks between tasks, since resting actually ③helps me focus better afterward. Since making these changes, I have been able to follow my schedule much more ④consistently, and my vacation has become both productive and ⑤stressful.

문제 5

Part of the problem is that renting a scooter takes only a few taps on a phone screen, while finding and carrying a helmet requires ①planning that many riders simply skip. Emergency room doctors note that scooter-related head injuries have risen ②sharply in recent years, closely tracking the rise in scooter popularity itself. Unlike a bicycle, which typically requires balance skills built up over years of practice, an electric scooter can reach a ③surprising speed within seconds, often faster than new riders expect from something that looks simple to operate. A fall at that speed, onto pavement rather than grass, can cause a head injury just as ④severe as one from a bicycle or a small motorcycle. Cities that have begun requiring helmets for scooter rentals report a measurable ⑤rise in serious injuries.

문제 6

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. (A) My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. (B) My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. (C) Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. That morning taught me that small mistakes rarely matter as much as we fear.

문제 7

Some locations also offer basic health checks, such as blood pressure measurement, for elderly visitors. During the hottest weeks of summer, the city operates free cooling centers for anyone who needs a break from the heat. ( ① ) These cooling centers, located in community halls and public libraries, provide air-conditioned spaces where visitors can rest comfortably. ( ② ) Most cooling centers are open from nine in the morning until six in the evening, seven days a week. ( ③ ) Visitors can enjoy free drinking water, read newspapers, or simply relax in a cool environment. ( ④ ) There is no cost to use these centers, and no reservation is required. ( ⑤ ) City officials encourage residents to check the nearest location on the city website before visiting.

문제 8

Whole, uncut melons, however, can be stored at room temperature until you are ready to eat them. Summer brings a wide variety of delicious fruits, but many of them spoil quickly in the heat. ( ① ) Knowing how to store fruit properly can help you avoid waste and enjoy fresher flavors. ( ② ) Fruits such as watermelon and melon should be kept in the refrigerator once they are cut, since exposure to warm air speeds up spoiling. ( ③ ) Berries are especially delicate and should not be washed until just before eating, because moisture encourages mold to grow. ( ④ ) Bananas, on the other hand, turn black quickly in cold air, so they are best kept on the counter. ( ⑤ ) Wrapping cut fruit tightly in plastic wrap also helps keep it fresh longer.

문제 9

Motivation, after all, makes learning easier and far more effective. Choosing a college major is one of the biggest decisions many students face after high school. ( ① ) Some students assume that their major will completely determine their future career, but this is not always true. ( ② ) What matters more than the major itself is the set of skills a student develops, such as critical thinking, writing, and problem solving. ( ③ ) These abilities can be applied to almost any career. ( ④ ) However, choosing a major that genuinely interests a student still matters. ( ⑤ ) Therefore, students should choose a major based on curiosity and personal growth, not only on which job it seems to guarantee.

문제 10

Not everyone in the neighborhood, however, shared that reaction. 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. ( ① ) Some residents complained to the city office, calling it vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. ( ② ) 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. ( ③ ) This disagreement reveals a tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can be labeled a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally, hoping to channel that same creative energy into something the whole neighborhood can enjoy. ( ④ ) The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who gave permission to use the wall. ( ⑤ )
