영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last spring, I ①joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. I had always been curious about becoming a nurse, so I signed up without hesitation. A kind nurse ②named Ms. Park showed me around the ward, ③explaining how nurses check patients' conditions. At first, I was nervous about talking to real patients. However, after ④help an elderly patient find her room, I felt proud and relaxed. I realized that teamwork ⑤matters as much as medical knowledge.

Central High School will host its annual career fair next Thursday in the main gymnasium. More than thirty companies ①are expected to set up booths to introduce different careers. Students can talk directly with workers ②who represent fields such as medicine, engineering, and design. Each booth will offer a short activity ③designed to let visitors experience a small part of the job. In addition, three guest speakers will give short talks ④about their career paths during the lunch break. Teachers strongly encourage all students ⑤attend, even those who already have a career in mind.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we ①encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Therefore, using a reusable bag is a simple habit that ②protects sea animals and ③increases pollution. For example, students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a ④reward. However, students who forget their bags may still purchase a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become ⑤greener.

Many students take a career aptitude test at some point in high school. This test is ①designed to measure a person's interests, strengths, and personality traits. It does not simply tell students which job to choose; instead, it helps them ②understand themselves better. For example, a student who enjoys solving problems might discover a ③hidden interest in engineering. However, the results should be used only as a guide, not as a ④temporary answer. Therefore, students should treat the test as a useful starting point, rather than a fixed decision that ⑤limits their future choices.

Whenever someone learns that I spend hours drawing comics that almost nobody else ever sees, they usually ask why I bother, since the work will never be published or praised by a large audience. For a long time, I struggled to answer that question honestly, assuming that art only counted as worthwhile once other people recognized it. Watching my younger brother build enormous, pointless block towers purely for the joy of knocking them down, though, helped me understand something I had been missing. He never once asked whether his tower was good; he simply needed to build the version of it that existed in his head before he could feel satisfied. Creating something, I now believe, often serves the creator first, giving shape to a feeling or idea that would otherwise stay vague and unexpressed. _______________.

Our class field trip to the national art museum began with a worksheet that I initially found annoying, since it asked us to stand in front of a single painting for a full five minutes before moving on. Five minutes felt unbearably long for one picture, and I nearly skipped ahead to the next room. Forcing myself to stay, however, I began noticing that _______________. My initial impression of the painting as simply pleasant slowly became something closer to fascination. Our teacher later explained that most museum visitors spend under fifteen seconds per artwork on average, which means they experience galleries as a blur of images rather than as individual works. That single afternoon taught me that patience, not expertise, is often the only thing separating a bored visitor from an amazed one.

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.

Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. (A) We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. (B) Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. (C) Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

My cousin, who has never taken a single music lesson, recently used a composing app on her phone to write a short song for her friend's birthday video. (A) What the app could not do, however, was decide which four notes actually felt right for the opening line, or when a pause said more than another note would have. (B) Watching her work, I realized the app handled much of the technical difficulty that used to stop beginners from composing at all, automatically keeping her melody in key and suggesting chords that matched the mood she selected. (C) She spent nearly an hour adjusting a single short phrase until it matched the feeling she wanted to capture, and watching her patient trial and error, I understood that these tools lower the technical barrier but do not remove the human task of deciding what music is trying to say.

I have walked past this corner more times than I can count. 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. ( ① ) 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. ( ② ) 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. ( ③ ) Unlike a concert hall performance, a street show has no fixed stage and no guaranteed audience, so the musician must win people's attention within the first few seconds or lose them to their phones. ( ④ ) 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. ( ⑤ )
