영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family ①decided to stay indoors for the entire day. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, ②where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that ③having a special exhibition about ocean animals. My younger brother was especially excited ④to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe ⑤that offered dozens of different games to choose from.

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

Walking down a crowded street while staring at a phone screen has become such a common sight that it barely draws attention anymore, even though the habit turns a pedestrian into one of the ①most alert people on the sidewalk. Researchers who study attention describe this as a kind of tunnel vision: a person absorbed in a text message or a video processes only a ②narrow slice of the surrounding environment, filtering out approaching cars, uneven pavement, and other pedestrians almost entirely. What makes this danger especially difficult to address is that pedestrians ③rarely recognize the risk in the moment; unlike distracted driving, which is widely ④condemned, glancing at a phone while crossing the street still feels like a ⑤harmless habit to most people who do it every day.

On January 1st, I decided to become a healthier person and wrote down three goals: exercising three times a week, reading one book every month, and sleeping before midnight. During the first week, I followed my plan without any trouble, but by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too tired after school. That was when I learned that _______________. My friend Mina noticed that I looked discouraged, so she offered to exercise with me after class, and having a partner made the habit much easier to keep. I also moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read a few pages every night. By the end of January, I had finished two books and jogged more than ten times.

Science labs feel far safer than they actually are, largely because the equipment looks harmless and the experiments are carefully planned by a teacher. This false sense of security leads some students to skip small precautions, such as wearing safety goggles for a "simple" experiment. Chemical reactions, however, do not distinguish between a professional laboratory and a classroom; _______________. Teachers repeatedly emphasize reading each instruction before touching any material, since even a familiar-looking chemical can behave unpredictably when combined with something new.

Audiobooks have grown rapidly in popularity over the past several years. Some traditional readers argue that listening to a book is not the same as truly reading it, because the listener does not process written words directly. However, researchers who study this question have found that comprehension scores for listeners and readers are usually very similar, as long as the material is not too complex. The biggest difference tends to appear with dense, technical material. For most everyday reading, however, _______________.

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

A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once did. (A) Friends of allergic students sometimes assume that a small bite would not cause serious harm, not realizing that the amount needed to trigger anaphylaxis can be smaller than a crumb. (B) Recognizing the early signs, such as swelling around the lips, hives, or sudden difficulty breathing, allows classmates and teachers to act before the reaction becomes severe. (C) For someone with a severe allergy, even a trace amount of the wrong ingredient, transferred by a shared spoon or an unwashed hand, can trigger a reaction that closes the airway and becomes life-threatening if untreated.

This simple comparison shows why learning the meaning of each symbol truly matters. Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. ① Each symbol contains a number that shows what material the item is made of. ② For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. ③ Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. ④ Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. ⑤ Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

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