영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready ① to talk about a book they have all just finished. This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together ② changes the experience completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else ③ understood the whole story. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance ④ push them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. Perhaps the greatest benefit is social rather than literary: strangers from very different backgrounds discover that they share the same doubts, laughter, and surprises ⑤ over the very same pages.

Last spring, Mina joined the school environmental club because she wanted ①to make a difference. At first, she felt nervous about speaking in front of the other members. However, the club leader, ②which had been recycling for years, welcomed her warmly. Every Friday, the members walked around the school ③picking up trash near the playground. Mina soon realized that this weekly habit was like ④watering a small plant every day. For example, a single plastic bottle left outside could take hundreds of years to disappear. Therefore, the club decided to place clear recycling bins in every classroom. In contrast to her early doubts, Mina began to feel proud of the changes she noticed. Her classmates started separating cans and paper without ⑤being reminded by teachers. By the end of the semester, Mina had become an active member.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown ①shorter over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. However, his older sister reminded him that ②clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he had ③outgrown might keep another child warm this winter. Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt ④neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt ⑤genuinely happy about his choice.

For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay ① silent while they searched the shelves. Today, many public libraries look completely ② similar. Alongside the usual shelves, you might find group study rooms, comfortable sofas for reading, computer labs, and even small recording studios for podcasts. Librarians say this change did not happen by ③ accident. As more information moved online, fewer people needed a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead. The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out to be space itself: a warm, ④ free place where students could study together, job seekers could print a resume, and children could attend a story hour. Some critics worry that libraries are drifting away from their original mission of preserving books, but librarians respond that a library survives only by ⑤ changing with its readers.

Dear residents, we are writing to explain how to separate food waste ①correctly in our building. Many people still throw food waste into the general trash, which causes ②bad smells. Therefore, this notice describes the exact steps you should follow every day. First, please use the special yellow bin near the parking lot for all food scraps. Fruit peels, vegetable ends, and leftover rice belong in this bin, not in a plastic bag. However, ③soft items such as eggshells and bones must go into the general trash instead. In addition, please drain ④excess liquid from your food waste before throwing it away. This simple habit, which only takes a few seconds, keeps the area ⑤clean and dry. For example, tea bags should never be placed in the food waste bin. Thank you for helping our neighborhood stay pleasant.

Many teachers and parents worry that today's teenagers are ① gaining the ability to read long, complex texts. National test scores show a slow ② decline in reading comprehension over the past ten years, and some experts blame smartphones and short videos for shortening students' attention spans. Other researchers disagree with this simple explanation. They point out that teenagers today read constantly, just in different forms, such as text messages, captions, and online articles. According to this view, the real problem is not that students read less overall, but that they rarely practice reading long passages without any ③ interruption. A team of researchers recently found that students who read at least one full book every month scored ④ noticeably higher on comprehension tests than students who mainly read short online posts. This result suggests that the format of reading, rather than simple screen time, may be the more important factor behind the ⑤ changing scores.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. (A) Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that the real challenge lies in imagining an entire, believable world at a scale the eye can barely process. (B) She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. (C) When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked.

Heatstroke is a serious risk during long heatwaves, but it can be prevented with a few simple habits. (A) In addition, wearing light and loose clothing allows your body to release heat more easily. (B) First of all, drink plenty of water throughout the day, even when you do not feel thirsty. (C) If you notice warning signs such as dizziness or a very high body temperature, move to a cool place right away.

The reason, they explain, is simple: a first reading leaves little room for anything beyond the plot. Many readers assume that once they finish a book, there is no reason to open it again. ( ① ) Yet teachers who study reading often disagree, arguing that a second reading can reveal details a first reading misses completely. ( ② ) During a first reading, most of a student's attention goes toward simply following the plot, wondering what will happen next. ( ③ ) Once the ending is already known, a second reading frees the mind to notice smaller things, such as a clever hint the author placed early in the story or a change in a character's tone. ( ④ ) Some students who reread their favorite novel report that it feels almost like reading a different book, because they now understand the characters' motives more deeply. ( ⑤ ) Teachers therefore encourage students not to rush toward new titles alone, but to occasionally return to a book they already loved, since a second visit often teaches more than the first.

In addition, outstanding volunteers will be recognized with a small award at the end of the summer. The Hillside Community Center is looking for student volunteers to help with its summer programs. ( ① ) Volunteers will assist with activities such as tutoring younger children, organizing books, and helping elderly residents with simple errands. ( ② ) No prior experience is necessary, since training will be provided on the first day. ( ③ ) Volunteers will receive an official certificate that can be used for school volunteer hour requirements. ( ④ ) Students who are interested should complete an online application form before July 10th. ( ⑤ ) Because the number of positions is limited, early applications are strongly encouraged.
