문제 1

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always ①repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: put the camera down for the first ten minutes and simply look around. At first this rule frustrated me, since I ②had join the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely ③tended to bring back the most interesting photographs. Instead of snapping dozens of rushed shots of the first flower or building they saw, they waited for a specific moment and ④captured only that. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only record what the photographer has already ⑤decided matters.

문제 2

Before a single line of dialogue is written for many animated shows, a character designer has already spent weeks deciding how that character should look, move, and be recognized at a glance. A visiting illustrator who spoke at our school explained that a truly successful design should be ①identifiable even as a plain black silhouette, since audiences often ②ignore a character's outline before they notice any facial detail. She showed us early sketches of a now-famous cartoon hero, in which the same personality had been tested through dozens of different body shapes, from short and round to tall and angular, before the final version was ③chosen. Small choices, she added, carry surprising weight: rounded shapes tend to feel friendly and safe, while sharp angles suggest ④danger or power, even to viewers who have never studied design. I left the talk realizing that a character's personality is communicated through its silhouette long before it ever speaks a single ⑤word.

문제 3

Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. Some residents complained to the city office, calling it ①vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. Others argued that the same wall had been an ugly, ②forgotten eyesore for years, and that the graffiti artist had simply given it a voice no one else bothered to give it. This disagreement reveals a ③tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can be labeled a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally, hoping to ④channel that same creative energy into something the whole neighborhood can enjoy. The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who ⑤forbade permission to use the wall.

문제 4

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. It often starts with very ①small, 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 they ②increase the effort needed to begin. Once a student sits down and opens a book, continuing to read the next page feels much ③easier than the first step of starting. Experts also suggest setting a very ④low 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 ⑤force.

문제 5

Every day, people throw away piles of ①used paper without thinking about where it goes. However, most of that paper does not have to end up in a landfill. Instead, it can travel to a recycling factory and become brand new paper again. First, workers collect old newspapers, boxes, and notebooks left in recycling bins. These papers are then soaked in water and turned into ②hard, mushy pulp. You can think of this process like breaking a cookie back into flour and water. For example, ink and small pieces of plastic are ③removed from the pulp during this stage. The ④clean pulp is pressed into thin sheets and dried in large machines. Therefore, a wrinkled old newspaper can be ⑤reborn as clean white paper. In contrast to throwing paper away, recycling it saves trees and reduces waste.

문제 6

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 ①pocket money, but watching him more closely changed my mind. He does not merely play requests; he studies the mood of the crowd and ②adjusts 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 ③audience, so the musician must win people's attention within the first few seconds or lose them to their phones. This constant negotiation between performer and passerby, I realized, is itself a kind of art, one that depends as much on ④ignoring people as it does on playing an instrument, which is why I now find busking far more ⑤impressive than I originally expected.

문제 7

She explained that sitting in a cold, air-conditioned room for too long can make people feel weak and achy. Last week, I started feeling tired and had a mild headache every afternoon at school. ( ① ) At first, I thought I was just stressed about exams, but my mother told me it might be air-conditioning sickness. ( ② ) After doing some research, I learned a few simple ways to prevent it. ( ③ ) First, I began carrying a light jacket to wear indoors, and I made sure to drink warm water instead of only cold drinks. ( ④ ) I also started stretching and walking around every hour instead of sitting still all day. ( ⑤ ) Within a few days, my headaches disappeared, and I felt much more energetic.

문제 8

This belief, however, is largely mistaken and can cost precious time when someone is badly hurt. Accidents rarely wait for a doctor to be nearby, which is why basic first aid knowledge can make a critical difference in the first few minutes after an injury occurs. ( ① ) Many students assume that only professionals should touch an injured person, fearing that any mistake might make things worse. ( ② ) In reality, a few simple actions, such as applying steady pressure to a bleeding wound or keeping an unconscious person's airway clear, can prevent a minor injury from becoming a life-threatening one. ( ③ ) Waiting passively for an ambulance, rather than doing anything at all, is often the more dangerous choice, since every minute without basic care allows a treatable injury to worsen. ( ④ ) Of course, first aid is never a substitute for professional medical treatment, and it should never replace an emergency call. ( ⑤ ) Even so, schools that offer first aid training report that students respond far more calmly and effectively during real emergencies.

문제 9

This year's fair is expected to be the largest one the school has ever held. Central High School will host its annual career fair next Thursday in the main gymnasium. ( ① ) More than thirty companies and organizations will set up booths to introduce different careers. ( ② ) Each booth will offer a short activity so visitors can experience a small part of the job. ( ③ ) For example, the engineering booth will let students build a simple model bridge. ( ④ ) In addition, three guest speakers will give short talks about their career paths during the lunch break. ( ⑤ ) Teachers strongly encourage all students to attend.

문제 10

Similar changes are taking place in other fields as well. As technology develops rapidly, many new jobs are appearing that did not exist a decade ago. ( ① ) Data analysts, for example, help companies make decisions based on huge amounts of information. ( ② ) Renewable energy technicians install and repair solar panels and wind turbines, meeting the growing demand for clean power. ( ③ ) These emerging jobs share one common feature: they combine technical skill with the ability to solve real-world problems. ( ④ ) Experts predict that future workers will need to keep learning new skills throughout their careers, since technology continues to change so quickly. ( ⑤ ) For students planning their future, staying curious and adaptable may matter more than a single fixed career path.
