영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

문제 1

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision ① to read more. It often starts with very small, easy steps. Some students keep a book in their bag so that they always ② 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 lower the effort ③ needed to begin. Once a student sits down and opens a book, ④ continuing to read the next page feels much easier than the first step of starting. Experts also suggest setting a very low daily goal, such as one page, instead of a strict page count that ⑤ feel like homework.

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

A shocking headline can spread across social media within minutes, long before anyone ① checks whether it is actually true. Studies show that false stories often travel faster than accurate ones, partly because surprising or emotional claims ② get shared more quickly than careful, balanced reporting. To handle this flood of information, students today need a skill that previous generations rarely had to practice: ③ checking a source before believing it. Simple habits can make a real difference, such as looking for the original source of a claim, checking the date an article ④ publishing, and searching to see whether other trustworthy outlets are reporting the same story. Media literacy classes now teach students ⑤ to pause before they share anything, asking who wrote it and why.

문제 4

At first, Minjun thought the campaign sounded ①boring and unnecessary for someone like him. However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a ②huge amount of waste. This comparison ③surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always ④full, and he felt ⑤proud of the change.

문제 5

Psychologists have ① long wondered whether reading fiction can change how people treat others in real life. Several studies suggest that novels which describe a character's inner thoughts in detail can train readers to imagine what other people are feeling, a skill closely related to ② indifference. When readers follow a character through difficult choices, they practice stepping into someone else's perspective without any real ③ risk to themselves. This kind of mental practice, researchers argue, can carry over into everyday situations, making readers more likely to notice a classmate's hidden ④ sadness or understand a stranger's unusual behavior. For this reason, some psychologists now recommend that young readers balance fast-paced adventure novels with quieter stories about ordinary people and their ⑤ feelings.

문제 6

This workbook is designed to help you set ①meaningful goals for the new year, so please read the instructions ②carefully before you begin. First, turn to page one and write down one goal you truly want to achieve this year. On page two, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps. If you fall behind schedule, do not simply ③give up; instead, revise your steps in pencil and keep moving forward. At the end of each month, write a short reflection about what worked well and what you might change. Completing this workbook will help you stay ④distracted and turn your goal into a real habit, so make sure to use it ⑤regularly.

문제 7

During the sports day relay race, Jun was ①nervous, and his hands were shaking as he waited for the baton. When his turn came, he grabbed the baton but nearly dropped it while turning the first corner. His teammates, watching from the field, shouted his name and encouraged him to keep running. Even though Jun felt ②proud, their cheering gave him confidence to focus on the runner ahead of him. As he handed the baton ③smoothly to the next runner, he realized that the team's effort ④mattered more than his mistake. After the race, his teammates gathered around him and said that his recovery had kept the team in the competition. Jun understood then that teamwork means supporting each other even after something goes wrong. His class did not win first place, but they ⑤celebrated together as if they had.

문제 8

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) Small choices, she added, carry surprising weight: rounded shapes tend to feel friendly and safe, while sharp angles suggest danger or power, even to viewers who have never studied design. (B) A visiting illustrator who spoke at our school explained that a truly successful design should be identifiable even as a plain black silhouette, since audiences often notice a character's outline before they notice any facial detail. (C) 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 chosen.

문제 9

It was, I realized, a lesson about storytelling disguised as a lesson about furniture. 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. ( ① ) When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. ( ② ) 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, deciding where a miniature family might set down a teacup or leave a chair pulled slightly away from the table. ( ③ ) She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, ( ④ ) explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. ( ⑤ ) That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough to fit inside a shoebox.

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.
