문제 1

Every time an antibiotic kills off a population of bacteria, a handful of cells ① carrying a random mutation that resists the drug are left behind to multiply without competition. Repeated over decades, across hospitals, farms, and households worldwide, this simple process of natural selection has produced strains of bacteria ② that survive treatments once considered reliably effective. The pharmaceutical industry, meanwhile, has slowed the pace at which new antibiotics reach the market, since a drug meant ③ to be taken for only a week or two rarely earns back the enormous cost of developing it. Researchers are therefore searching in unconventional places, screening soil microbes, ocean sediment, and even genetic databases for molecules that kill bacteria through mechanisms resistant strains have not yet ④ learn to evade. Some scientists have also revived an older approach, using viruses that infect only bacteria to hunt down resistant strains with a precision no broad-spectrum drug could ever ⑤ match.

문제 2

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family ①decided to stay indoors for the entire day.

문제 4

Facing a shortage of caregivers and a rapidly aging population, several countries have begun deploying robots designed to remind elderly residents to take medication and offer simple conversation. (A) Critics, however, worry that this framing quietly shifts the goal of care, so that a robot's companionship comes to be treated as an acceptable substitute for human connection. (B) Early trials show that many residents report reduced loneliness, particularly when a robot's presence allows a human staff member to spend more time with each patient. (C) Advocates for the elderly argue that robots should be evaluated strictly as tools that free up human time for human contact, never as a replacement for it.

주어진 문장: These various booths give every member a chance to show what they have practiced throughout the year. Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that gives every club a chance to shine. ① This year's festival will take place on October 15th, running from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. ② Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is limited. ③ The science club will present simple experiments that are both safe and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have created throughout the semester. ④ The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. ⑤ Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.
