영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

문제 1

Our film club spent an entire semester making a five-minute short film, and I was ① startling to learn just how little of that time was actually spent filming. We wrote and rewrote the script for nearly a month, then ② spent another two weeks drawing simple storyboards to plan every camera angle before a single scene was recorded. Filming itself took only two Saturday afternoons, yet editing the footage afterward ③ consumed nearly six additional weeks, as we combed through hours of raw clips to choose the handful of seconds that actually made it into the final version. Our advisor warned us early on that amateur filmmakers usually underestimate editing the most, ④ assuming that a good script and decent camera work will carry a film on their own. By the time our short film premiered at the school festival, I understood that the visible five minutes represented only a small fraction of the invisible work that ⑤ had shaped it.

문제 2

Building a career portfolio is a great way ①to track your growth throughout high school. A portfolio is simply a collection of your achievements, activities, and reflections. Start by ②choose a format, such as a folder, a notebook, or a digital file. Next, include items ③that show your interests and skills, such as club activities and volunteer work. For each item, write a short reflection explaining what you learned. A well-organized portfolio not only ④helps you apply for programs or scholarships, but it also ⑤helps you understand your own growth over time.

문제 3

Yesterday, I visited my school's career counselor because I felt ①excited about my future. I told her that I enjoyed both science and art, but I could not decide which subject to pursue. She listened ②carefully and then asked me a simple question: what activities make me lose track of time? I answered that designing posters for school events always felt ③exciting. She smiled and said that this kind of clue often ④reveals a genuine interest, more than any test score can. Our short conversation gave me a ⑤clearer sense of direction than weeks of worrying alone had.

문제 4

Many students who reach their goals share one habit: they picture the goal ①clearly before they even start working. This process, called visualization, means imagining a goal in detail, often by drawing pictures or writing specific descriptions. For example, a student who dreams of studying abroad might make a board filled with photos of a foreign campus. Seeing these images every day keeps the goal ②vague in mind and reminds the student why the effort matters. Visualization also helps people ③notice small opportunities they might otherwise miss, since the brain naturally pays attention to things connected to personal goals. In addition, picturing success in advance can ④lower anxiety, because the mind grows ⑤familiar with the process instead of fearing an unknown outcome.

문제 5

Summer is the best time to enjoy swimming pools, rivers, and beaches with family and friends. However, water activities can be completely ①safe without proper preparation. First, always swim in areas that are ②supervised 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 can make swimming extremely ③dangerous. Third, wear a life jacket in open water, especially if you are a beginner. Taking a break every hour will help you stay ④energetic, and learning basic rescue skills will make you more ⑤prepared for emergencies.

문제 6

Last month, I attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, where students practiced writing short news scripts and reading them in front of a camera. It was ①harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera recorded my every move felt strange at first. By the second day, however, I began to enjoy the challenge, and my confidence ②grew with each attempt. The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave detailed feedback rather than simple praise, which helped us improve ③quickly. On the final day, each team presented a short news segment to the entire camp. Although I still feel ④certain about my future career, this camp helped me ⑤understand what working in media actually involves.

문제 7

Food poisoning cases increase sharply during the hot summer months. High temperatures allow bacteria to grow ①quickly in food that is not stored properly. Always wash your hands with soap before preparing food, since this habit ②reduces the risk of infection. Make sure that meat and eggs are cooked ③thoroughly, since undercooked food can carry harmful bacteria. Keep perishable food ④cold in the refrigerator, rather than leaving it out at room temperature. If you experience symptoms such as stomach pain or vomiting, you should seek medical attention ⑤rarely.

문제 8

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: put the camera down for the first ten minutes and simply look around. (A) Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most interesting photographs, waiting for a specific moment rather than rushing to snap the first thing they saw. (B) A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only record what the photographer has already decided matters. (C) At first this rule frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed.

문제 9

No two students in the class were given exactly the same situation to design for. In our elective fashion design class, the first assignment was not to sketch a beautiful outfit but to design clothing for a specific, unusual situation, such as a rainy commute or a wheelchair user's daily routine. ( ① ) I initially found the assignment strange, since I had imagined fashion design as primarily about appearance rather than practical problem-solving. ( ② ) Researching my chosen situation, a delivery worker who bikes through the city in all weather, changed how I approached the project entirely. ( ③ ) I realized that pockets needed to be reachable while cycling, that bright colors could improve visibility to drivers at night, and that waterproof fabric mattered more than any decorative detail I had originally planned. ( ④ ) My final design looked far simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher praised it precisely because every choice solved a real problem the wearer would actually face. ( ⑤ )

문제 10

Storing a damp umbrella in a closed bag can cause mold and a bad smell. During the rainy season, umbrellas and raincoats become essential items for daily life. ( ① ) After using a wet umbrella, open it fully and let it dry in a well-ventilated place before folding it again. ( ② ) Raincoats should also be hung up to dry completely before being put away. ( ③ ) It is helpful to wipe off dirt and mud with a soft cloth, since dirt left on the fabric can damage the waterproof coating. ( ④ ) In addition, check the umbrella's frame regularly for rust or broken parts. ( ⑤ ) Taking care of these simple items will help you stay dry all season long.
