영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Many readers assume that once they finish a book, there is no reason to open it again. Yet teachers who study reading often ① disagree, arguing that a second reading can reveal details a first reading ② misses completely. During a first reading, most of a student's attention goes toward simply following the plot, ③ wondering what will happen next. Once the ending is already known, a second reading frees the mind ④ notice smaller things, such as a clever hint the author placed early in the story or a change in a character's tone. Teachers therefore encourage students not to rush toward new titles alone, but to occasionally return to a book they already ⑤ loved, since a second visit often teaches more than the first.

A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical ① emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once did. For someone with a severe allergy, even a trace amount of the wrong ingredient, transferred by a shared spoon or an unwashed hand, can trigger a reaction that closes the airway and becomes ② life-threatening if untreated. Friends of allergic students sometimes assume that a small bite would not cause serious harm, not realizing that the amount needed to trigger anaphylaxis can be ③ larger than a crumb. Recognizing the early signs, such as swelling around the lips, hives, or sudden difficulty breathing, allows classmates and teachers to act before the reaction becomes ④ severe. Many schools now train staff to use an epinephrine auto-injector, a device that can ⑤ reverse a dangerous reaction within seconds.

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 ① minimal risk. In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it. A seatbelt ② spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of ③ concentrating it on the head and neck. Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains ④ lower than for those sitting in the ⑤ front.

Stairs seem too ① ordinary to be dangerous, which is why many people treat them carelessly, texting, carrying an armful of books, or skipping two steps at a time. Emergency room records tell a ② different story: falls on stairways send more people to the hospital each year than almost any other household accident. Familiarity ③ discourages a kind of autopilot mode, in which a person stops looking at each step and instead relies on memory of where the stairs should be, a habit that fails the moment something ④ unexpected occurs, such as a missing step or a loose railing. Safety officials recommend a few ⑤ unglamorous habits: keep one hand free, use the handrail, and turn on the light before stepping onto a dark staircase.

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. It often starts with very small, easy steps. Some students keep a book in their bag so that they always have something to read while waiting for a bus. Others choose a fixed time each day, like right before bed, and read for just ten minutes. These small routines work because _______________. Experts also suggest setting a very low daily goal, such as one page, instead of a strict page count that feels like homework. Over weeks, these tiny actions add up, and reading slowly becomes something the student simply does, rather than something the student has to force.

Many students imagine a librarian simply sitting behind a desk and stamping books. Ms. Han, who has worked at a school library for over ten years, says that image is far from accurate. A large part of her job involves choosing which new books to buy, based on both student requests and current trends in youth literature. She also spends hours training students to search databases and judge whether an online source is trustworthy, a skill she considers just as important as reading itself. According to Ms. Han, the most rewarding moment is not organizing shelves but _______________. She admits that budgets are often tight and that new technology keeps changing how libraries operate.

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. Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. However, _______________. 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. Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. (A) A good list should also include stories from different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too, since a book that is too difficult can make a student give up on reading altogether. (B) Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, the best list keeps changing to match its readers. (C) Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles, because teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites.

Yet not everyone is convinced that turning reading into a game is entirely positive. A growing number of teenagers are joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. ( ① ) These apps let users track how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. ( ② ) Some students say the apps make reading feel less lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. ( ③ ) The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members motivated, turning a private habit into a small social game. ( ④ ) However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time chatting about the story than actually reading it. ( ⑤ ) Despite this concern, many students report that the sense of community keeps them reading books they would have quit halfway through if they had been reading completely alone.

As a result, many reluctant readers finish an entire graphic novel and then move on to longer books with new confidence. For many years, comic books and graphic novels were seen as a lazy alternative to real reading. ( ① ) Parents and teachers often worried that pictures did the work that words should do, leaving young readers with weaker vocabulary and imagination. ( ② ) Recent research, however, tells a more complicated story. Graphic novels actually require readers to combine written text with visual clues, inferring emotion from a character's expression or understanding time gaps between panels. ( ③ ) This combination can build a different but equally valuable set of reading skills. ( ④ ) Teachers who once banned comics from their classrooms are now using them to reach students who struggled with traditional novels. ( ⑤ ) Rather than replacing traditional reading, graphic novels appear to work best as a bridge that leads students toward it.
