영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Yesterday, I ①visited my school's career counselor because I felt confused about my future. I told her that I enjoyed both science and art, but I could not decide which subject ②to pursue. She listened carefully and then asked me a simple question: what activities ③make me lose track of time? She suggested that I try ④combining my two interests by exploring careers such as scientific illustration or product design. Before I left, she reminded me that career paths rarely follow a straight line, so it was fine ⑤explore multiple directions.

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family ①decided to stay indoors for the entire day. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, ②where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that ③having a special exhibition about ocean animals. My younger brother was especially excited ④to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe ⑤that offered dozens of different games to choose from.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt ① sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my ② hesitation and said something I did not expect: an exhibition is not a contest to find the single best picture, but a chance to show how differently people see the same world. On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to ③ boring, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself ④ curious about why each artist had made certain choices. Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single ⑤ shared space.

Summer is the best time to enjoy swimming pools, rivers, and beaches with family and friends. However, water activities can be dangerous without proper preparation. That is why experts stress one point above all: ___________. First, always swim in areas supervised by a lifeguard, and never swim alone even if you are a strong swimmer. Second, check the weather and water conditions before entering the water, since strong currents and sudden storms make swimming risky. Third, wear a life jacket in open water such as a river or the sea, especially if you are a child or a beginner.

When temperatures drop below freezing overnight, an invisible layer of black ice can form on sidewalks that look perfectly dry, catching even careful walkers off guard. Unlike a visibly icy patch, black ice reflects almost no light and blends into ordinary pavement, which is why _______________. Orthopedic doctors report a sharp rise in wrist and hip injuries every winter, most of them caused not by dramatic slips on icy hills but by a single unexpected step near a bus stop or a doorway.

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.

Air conditioners keep us cool in summer, but setting the temperature too low can be harmful. (A) For example, a large gap between indoor and outdoor temperatures can lead to headaches, fatigue, and a stuffy nose. (B) This is because a big difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures forces your body to adjust constantly. (C) To prevent this, set a moderate temperature and open a window for a few minutes every hour.

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.

Ironically, it is often the shortest and most familiar stretch of the route that proves the most dangerous. For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. ( ① ) Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, assuming they can judge the traffic gap correctly. ( ② ) This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian drops sharply well before sunrise or after sunset. ( ③ ) Wearing dark clothing during these hours can make a student almost invisible until a car is dangerously close. ( ④ ) Simple choices, such as using a marked crosswalk, waiting for the pedestrian signal, and adding something reflective to a backpack, cost only a few extra seconds each morning. ( ⑤ ) Traffic safety officials argue that these small habits, repeated daily, do more to prevent injury than any single safety campaign ever could.

Even a short glance downward, timed badly, is enough to miss an oncoming bicycle or a changing traffic light. Walking down a crowded street while staring at a phone screen has become such a common sight that it barely draws attention anymore, even though the habit turns a pedestrian into one of the least alert people on the sidewalk. ( ① ) Researchers who study attention describe this as a kind of tunnel vision: a person absorbed in a text message or a video processes only a narrow slice of the surrounding environment, filtering out approaching cars, uneven pavement, and other pedestrians almost entirely. ( ② ) Hospitals have reported a steady rise in injuries linked to distracted walking, ranging from minor scrapes after tripping over a curb to serious collisions with moving vehicles at intersections. ( ③ ) What makes this danger especially difficult to address is that pedestrians rarely recognize the risk in the moment. ( ④ ) Unlike distracted driving, which is widely condemned, glancing at a phone while crossing the street still feels like a harmless habit to most people who do it every day. ( ⑤ )
