영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of ①untouching rice and vegetables every day. Last spring, his class started a campaign ②called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste. However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day ③adds up to a huge amount of waste. She compared uneaten food to money ④dropped carelessly on the street, which nobody bothers to pick up. He decided to take only what he could finish and ⑤to try new vegetables slowly.

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 encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, ①which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be ②used again and again for many years. Therefore, ③using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. For example, students ④who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still ⑤purchases 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 greener.

A growing number of teenagers are ① joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. These apps let users ② tracking how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. Some students say the apps make reading feel less lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they ③ finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members motivated, ④ turning a private habit into a small social game. However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can ⑤ pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time chatting about the story than actually reading it.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt ① sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my ② hesitation and said something I did not expect: an exhibition is not a contest to find the single best picture, but a chance to show how differently people see the same world. On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to ③ boring, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself ④ curious about why each artist had made certain choices. Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single ⑤ shared space.

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.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but _______________. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. He showed them a machine that crushed plastic bottles into small pieces before they were sent to factories. Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, thrown into the wrong bin, often ruined an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. Walking home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered. She decided to sort her family's trash more carefully.

Many students think that reading a book quietly by themselves is enough, but book discussion classes add something that solo reading cannot provide. When students explain their ideas out loud, they often discover thoughts they did not even know they had. Teachers who use discussion classes report that students remember plot details and themes far longer than students who only read silently and take a quiz afterward. This happens because _______________. Discussion also teaches students to listen carefully, since they must respond directly to classmates instead of simply waiting for their own turn to speak. For these reasons, many schools are now adding weekly discussion sessions to their reading programs.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. (A) Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others. (B) At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. (C) However, his older sister reminded him that clean 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 outgrown might keep another child warm this winter.

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

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.
