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.

Most students only see the final result, a few smooth minutes each morning. Behind that short program, however, broadcasting club members follow a busy daily routine. Members arrive at school thirty minutes earlier than other students ① preparing the studio. They check the microphones, the cameras, and the lighting before anyone else ② arrives. Meanwhile, the script team finalizes the news script that was ③ written the night before. Once everything is ready, the anchors ④ practice their lines one last time. At exactly eight o'clock, the red light turns on, and the live broadcast begins. During class hours, however, most members return to their regular classroom lessons like everyone else. After school, the club meets again to review that morning's recording and ⑤ discuss any mistakes. Through this daily routine, members slowly learn skills such as teamwork and quick thinking under pressure.

Safety signs surround us so constantly, from a yellow diamond ① warns of a curve ahead to a red octagon commanding a full stop, that most people stop consciously reading them soon after learning to drive. This is precisely the outcome that sign designers hope ② to avoid, since a sign that requires careful thought to interpret in an emergency has already failed at its purpose. Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally ③ signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals caution, and green marks safety. Symbols replace text wherever possible for the same reason, ④ allowing a running figure or a flame icon to communicate instantly 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 ⑤ preventable causes of accidents in public spaces.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, tries to make small acts of kindness feel ①natural. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon talking with elderly residents. For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members ②collect used books and toys from classmates and donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel ③confident before their first visit, unsure of what to say to strangers. However, most discover that a ④warm smile works better than perfect words. Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that caring for others grows into a ⑤lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.

On Saturday afternoons, the small square near my house fills with the sound of a street guitarist who sets up his amplifier beside the fountain. At first, I assumed busking was simply a way for musicians to earn a little pocket money, but watching him more closely changed my mind. He does not merely play requests; he studies the mood of the crowd and adjusts his set list on the spot, slowing down for a tired evening walker or speeding up when children start dancing nearby. Unlike a concert hall performance, a street show has no fixed stage and no guaranteed audience, so _______________. This constant negotiation between performer and passerby, I realized, is itself a kind of art, one that depends as much on reading people as it does on playing an instrument.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. (A) Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. (B) Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. (C) In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.

주어진 문장: It was a small decision, but it suddenly felt like the beginning of something new. On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. ① Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. ② However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. ③ A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. ④ 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. ⑤ Walking out of the gym, I finally felt that I belonged in this new school.

Under such chaotic conditions, even a familiar hallway can suddenly feel like unknown territory. Every semester, students groan when the fire alarm rings for another routine drill, filing out of the building as if the exercise were simply a break from class. ( ① ) This casual attitude, however, overlooks why the drill exists in the first place. ( ② ) During an actual fire, thick smoke can fill hallways within minutes, cutting visibility to almost nothing and making it dangerously easy to panic or take a wrong turn. ( ③ ) Repeating the same evacuation route again and again trains the body to move automatically, even when the mind is too frightened to think clearly. ( ④ ) Firefighters note that students who have practiced an escape route calmly walk toward the nearest exit purely out of habit, while those unfamiliar with the building often freeze or hesitate at doorways. ( ⑤ ) A fire drill that feels pointless in the classroom can therefore become the very reason a real evacuation succeeds without injury.

주어진 문장: It was the first time she had truly felt like part of a team. Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. ( ① ) The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. ( ② ) During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. ( ③ ) Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time. ( ④ ) Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. ( ⑤ ) The audience clapped warmly, and she realized her club's support had made the difference.

This kind of outside feedback often reveals strengths you may not notice on your own. Building a career portfolio is a great way to track your growth throughout high school. ( ① ) A portfolio is simply a collection of your achievements, activities, and reflections. ( ② ) Start by choosing a format, such as a folder, a notebook, or a digital file. ( ③ ) Next, include items like club activities, volunteer work, certificates, and sample projects, along with a short reflection for each one. ( ④ ) Update your portfolio regularly instead of waiting until graduation, since memories of small experiences fade quickly. ( ⑤ ) In addition, ask a teacher or mentor to review it occasionally and offer feedback.
