문제 1

Two years ago, I ①began volunteering at an animal shelter near my neighborhood on weekends. My tasks included feeding animals, cleaning cages, and ②help visitors choose a pet to adopt. Over time, I noticed how much I enjoyed calming nervous or injured animals. One rainy afternoon, a frightened puppy ③refused to eat, and I sat quietly beside it for over an hour until it finally relaxed. Watching the puppy trust me changed something inside me, ④which led me to research careers in veterinary medicine. My volunteer work, ⑤which started as a simple hobby, slowly turned into the clearest career direction I had ever found.

문제 2

Summer heat can be just as dangerous for pets ①as it is for people. Dogs and cats cannot cool their bodies as easily as humans, so owners must ②take extra care during hot days. Avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement ③can burn sensitive paws. Never leave a pet alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes, because the temperature inside ④rising dangerously fast. If your pet seems unusually tired or ⑤refuses to move, contact a veterinarian right away.

문제 3

When an image-generating program ① produced a strikingly detailed painting in the exact style of a well-known illustrator within seconds, my art club spent an entire meeting arguing about what it actually meant for artists. Some members felt excited, ② imagining the software as a helpful tool that could speed up brainstorming or generate quick backgrounds for their comics. Others worried that the program had been trained on thousands of real illustrations ③ scraped from the internet without the original artists' permission, meaning the tool's impressive results were quietly built on other people's uncredited labor. A few pointed out that the final image, however skillful it ④ looked, reflected no personal memory, struggle, or intention, only patterns learned from existing pictures. The debate never reached a clear conclusion, but it made me realize that questions about creativity now involve not just how a picture looks, but where it actually ⑤ come from and who deserves credit for it.

문제 4

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. ① Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles. Teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites. A good list should also ② including stories from different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too; a book that is too difficult can make a student ③ give up on reading altogether, while a book that is too easy may feel boring. Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly ④ update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, the best recommended list is not fixed forever; it keeps changing to match the readers it ⑤ is meant to serve.

문제 5

Attention, students! Our school festival is going green this year, and we truly need your help. This event aims to ①reduce the disposable waste that usually piles up during the celebration. First, please bring your own cup, plate, and utensils to every food booth you visit. Second, each booth should use ②reusable decorations rather than paper banners that get thrown away within hours. Students who join as Green Helpers will manage the recycling stations, sorting cans, bottles, and paper ③carefully all day long. Therefore, everyone's small cooperation will directly ④increase the amount of trash sent to the landfill. However, single-use plastic bags are ⑤strictly prohibited at every booth this year.

문제 6

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.

문제 7

When temperatures drop below freezing overnight, an ① invisible layer of black ice can form on sidewalks that look perfectly dry, catching even careful walkers off guard. Orthopedic doctors report a sharp ② 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. Walking with shorter, flatter steps and keeping the hands free rather than in pockets can help a person ③ regain balance quickly if a foot suddenly slides. Choosing shoes with textured rubber soles rather than smooth ones also makes a difference, since even a small ④ decrease in grip can prevent a fall before it begins. Treating every winter sidewalk as potentially icy, rather than trusting appearances, remains the ⑤ simplest way to avoid injury.

문제 8

A goal should be specific, meaning you describe exactly what you want to do instead of using ①vague words. It should also be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers such as pages read or minutes exercised. Being achievable means the goal ②fits your current situation and is not too difficult to reach. A relevant goal truly ③matters to your life and interests, and a time-bound goal has a clear deadline that pushes you to take action instead of waiting. Setting goals this way turns vague wishes into ④unclear plans, which are much ⑤easier to follow through every single day.

문제 9

A shocking headline can spread across social media within minutes, long before anyone checks whether it is actually true. (A) Simple habits can make a real difference, such as looking for the original source of a claim and checking whether other trustworthy outlets are reporting the same story. (B) To handle this flood of information, students today need a skill that previous generations rarely had to practice: checking a source before believing it. (C) Studies show that false stories often travel faster than accurate ones, partly because surprising or emotional claims get shared more quickly than careful, balanced reporting.

문제 10

This kind of shift can already be seen in industries such as manufacturing and retail. The job market has changed dramatically over the past few decades, and it continues to shift every year. ( ① ) Many tasks once done entirely by humans are now shared with machines and computer programs. ( ② ) As a result, some traditional jobs have slowly disappeared, while entirely new positions have emerged to replace them. ( ③ ) For example, a graphic designer today must understand complex digital software to stay competitive in the field. ( ④ ) Adapting to these changes can feel stressful, but experts note that workers who stay flexible and keep learning tend to succeed. ( ⑤ ) In this rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt may be more valuable than any single specific skill.
