영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. Instead of ①making separate plans, we decided to write our goals together on one sheet of paper. Yuna wanted ②improving her English speaking, while I wanted to wake up earlier every morning. We agreed ③to text each other every night to report what we had done that day. Yuna, ④who noticed my short replies, called me instead of just texting. Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us ⑤successfully reached our goals by spring.

As technology develops rapidly, many new jobs are ①appearing that did not exist a decade ago. Data analysts help companies make decisions based on huge amounts of information. Renewable energy technicians install and repair solar panels and wind turbines, meeting the ②shrinking demand for clean power. Healthcare is expanding beyond hospitals, creating roles for specialists who design digital health tools for elderly patients. These emerging jobs ③share one common feature: they combine technical skill with the ability to solve real-world problems. Experts predict that future workers will need to keep learning new skills ④throughout their careers. Staying curious and adaptable may matter ⑤more than choosing a single fixed career path.

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family decided to stay indoors for the entire day. At first, I worried that staying inside would be ①boring, but we found several fun activities to enjoy together. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an ②instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that had a special exhibition, and my younger brother was especially ③excited to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe. By the time we got home, I realized that indoor activities could be just as ④boring as outdoor ones, especially during a ⑤heatwave.

Summer vacation is a great time to go camping with family or friends. However, a safe and enjoyable trip requires ___________. You should pack enough water and snacks, bring sunscreen and insect repellent, prepare a small first aid kit, and check the weather forecast before choosing a safe campsite.

On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. (A) She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel relaxed for the first time that day. Without much thought, I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet before leaving. Walking out of the gym, I finally felt that I belonged in this new school. (B) My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. (C) Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners.

Whether or not a goal is motivating often depends on how clear it is. (A) For example, a student who simply decides to study harder often loses direction because the plan is too vague. (B) In contrast, a student who sets a clear goal, such as raising an English score by ten points, knows exactly what to do every day. (C) This is because a clear goal gives the brain an exact target to focus on, which makes progress easy to measure and keeps people motivated.

Keeping track of progress is just as important as setting the goal itself. (A) For instance, someone learning guitar might record which songs they practiced each week, and looking back later reveals real growth. (B) This kind of tracking also helps identify problems early, so a person can adjust the plan before too much time is wasted. (C) A simple way to do this is keeping a log, such as a weekly checklist or a short journal entry.

What all three of these risks share is that they can be avoided with a few minutes of preparation, not with expensive gear. A weekend camping trip promises fresh air and a break from screens, but the same wilderness that makes camping appealing also removes many of the safety nets people rely on without noticing, such as nearby hospitals or cell phone signal. ( ① ) One of the most overlooked risks is setting up a tent too close to a campfire, since a sudden gust of wind can carry a spark onto dry fabric faster than anyone expects. ( ② ) Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent, rather than in a sealed container away from the sleeping area, can attract wildlife looking for food. ( ③ ) Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since a clear evening sky offers no guarantee against a sudden storm later that night. ( ④ ) None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill. ( ⑤ ) They simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

주어진 문장: In the end, these tiny victories combine to create something much bigger than you expected. Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too big to handle. ( ① ) A more effective approach is to break a large goal into smaller, manageable steps. ( ② ) Instead of focusing on the entire year, try setting a goal for just one week, such as learning twenty new words. ( ③ ) Once you complete that small step, move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal. ( ④ ) This method works because small tasks feel achievable, and completing them gives a sense of success, which encourages you to keep going. ( ⑤ ) Starting small is often the smartest way to reach a big dream.

주어진 문장: Determined not to give up completely, she decided to find out what had gone wrong. Last January, Minji decided that she would run three kilometers every morning before school. ( ① ) For the first week, she woke up early and ran happily, feeling proud of her new habit. ( ② ) However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether. ( ③ ) By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. ( ④ ) One evening, her older brother asked her why the plan had failed, and together they looked closely at her daily schedule. ( ⑤ ) They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too difficult to maintain, so she changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was warmer and she had more energy.
