1. Late in the day and all through the night, the caged crickets sing until someone walks across the floor. The vibration of the person's steps frightens the crickets, and they stop singing. Unlike a dog that arouses a family with its noisy barking, crickets do so by their silence.
① follows ② soothes ③ entertains
④ awakens ⑤ attacks
2. On the Internet, people can find many medical facts and beliefs. Their availability can improve world health. However, the information on the Internet may not always be accurate or helpful to all individuals.
There may even be fraudulent claims about products to increase sales.
① uncommon ② vague ③ convincing
④ dishonest ⑤ logical
3. Although Lillian was 94 years old, she was healthy and mentally sharp. She still insisted on living in her own apartment, buying her own groceries and paying her own bills, taking care of herself and making her own decisions―it was clear that she valued her autonomy above all else.
① social life ② wealth ③ family support
④ loneliness ⑤ independence
4. Men are much more vulnerable than women in a number of ways. Boy babies inherit more birth defects and suffer more birth traumas. In childhood, boys have more accidents, and they are far more likely than girls to suffer from various diseases. In middle age they are more likely to develop digestive disorders and kidney disease. They remain weaker to infections of all kinds.
① available ② susceptible ③ exceptional
④ irresistible ⑤ recoverable
5. The Hopi tribe stresses the institutions of family.
They emphasize a harmonious existence which makes the self-sacrificing individual the ideal. The Hopi individual is trained to feel his or her responsibility to and for the Peaceful People―the Hopi's own term for themselves. Fighting and bullying others bring automatic rebuke from the community.
① isolation ② reaction ③ criticism
④ approval ⑤ benefit

6. This is a place where old computers go to
① be reborn. Here, desktops get smashed, ripped, and ② torn apart. They are brought to this plant to be recycled. With hundreds of ③ millions of computer predicted to become obsolete by next year, more than a dozen state legislatures say that some kind of action ④ is necessary to keep the computers of yesterday ⑤ from becoming the dangerous trash of tomorrow.
7. ① Men's and women's views differ on the issues of violence, the use of force, and peace and war. For example, women are less likely to support ② the death penalty, more likely to favor gun control, and less likely ③ to favor going to war. A good example of this sort of gender gap emerged in 1994, when an American teenager ④ lived in Singapore who had vandalized property, was sentenced to a traditional Singaporean punishment of caning. ⑤ A majority of the mothers of America considered the sentence barbaric, while many of the fathers viewed it as appropriate.
8. The trouble with the immigration debate of the past year is that ① much of it is simply unreal.
Intellectuals ② have been arguing over abstractions, while the insecurities of ordinary Americans have been inflamed ③ by prejudice and misinformation.
Despite resurgent nativism, any proposal ④ to curtail sharply legal immigration ⑤ would meet massive resistance from both liberals and conservatives.
9. Supermarkets encourage us to buy ① on impulse.
When we enter, we generally move in the direction the store chooses, down the "power" aisle. This aisle
② is crowded with sale items, although non-sale items may be ③ casually displayed as well. Displays that are placed mid-aisle will ④ slow us down. The more costly merchandise is placed at ⑤ eye level when shoppers look first.
10. ① Of all the memory techniques, repetition is the most effective. The idea might sound ② too simpler.
Still, it is the most helpful way to put facts into your memory. ③ A really good idea is to say the fact aloud many times. The more times you say the information, ④ the more effective it will be. The key is repeating the information enough times so it becomes a part of your long-term memory. Repetition will help you ⑤ retain new information easily; it's a better technique than any other.

11. According to new research, from the moment of birth, a baby has a great deal to say to his parents, and they to him. Babies are said to possess special innate ability. But several decades ago, experts described the newborn as a primitive creature who reacted only by reflex, a helpless victim of its environment without capacity to influence it. Most thought that all a new infant required was nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm cradle.
① reflex ② capacity ③ helpless victim
④ environment ⑤ primitive creature
12. Language reflects it in society. Although language itself is not a product of it, language can connote attitudes closely connected with it as well as attitudes about social taboos or racism. In an old edition of the American Heritage Dictionary, examples used to illustrate the meaning of words include "manly courage" and "masculine charm," and "womanish tears" and "feminine wiles." Until 1972, at Columbia University, the women's faculty toilet doors were labeled "Women," whereas the men's doors were labeled "Officers of Instruction." Yet, linguistically, the word officer is not marked semantically for gender, although there were few women professors at Columbia at that time.
① feminism ② humanism ③ determinism
④ sexism ⑤ authoritarianism
13. 글의 어조로 가장 적절한 것은?
Those people who study animal behavior professionally must dread those times when their cover is blown at a dinner party. The unfortunate souls are sure to be seated next to someone with animal stories. The conversation will invariably be about some pet that did this or that, and nonsense is the polite word for it. The worst stories are about cats. The proud owners like to talk about their ingenuity, what they are thinking, and how they 'miss' them while they're at the party. Those cats would rub the leg of a burglar if he rattled the cans of their food.
① humorous ② instructive ③ angry
④ nostalgic ⑤ appealing

14. Because of the visual media, some people may become discontented with the reality of their own lives. To them, everyday life does not seem as exciting as the roles actors play in movies or TV dramas. They realize they aren't having as much fun as the stars of comedy shows. Furthermore, average people with normal lives may envy famous media personalities, who seem to get unlimited amounts of money and attention. Also media watchers might get depressed when they can't handle situations in real life as well as TV stars seem to. On the screen, they notice actors solve serious problems in half-hour programs or twenty-second commercials.
① TV viewers dreaming to become famous stars
② media inducing viewers to waste time and attention
③ media leading to dissatisfaction with normal living
④ TV viewing making everyday living exciting and fun
⑤ viewers tired of unreal stories of media programs
15. Psychological research has so far maintained that both men and women have the same "fight-or- flight" reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior ("fight"), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation ("flight"). However, new research shows that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction. Their response could be called "tend and befriend." That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young ("tend"), and by looking for social contact and support from others ("befriend").

As the Internet becomes more central to the search for information, students and scholars are demanding that more items in library collections be digitized and made available on the Web. Library directors also see this method of preservation as a perfect way to provide more service for less money.
However, librarians caution that digital preservation is not without its faults. Many small libraries do not have the budgets to provide equipment and personnel needed to undertake such a project. More important, however, technologies are changing so quickly that files preserved today in one format will not be usable with future formats. If paper documents are scanned and discarded, our heritage will be lost forever somewhere down the road on the digital bandwagon.

Another misconception about exercise is that it increases the appetite.
People have several myths about exercise. (①) One myth is that if a woman lifts weights, she will develop muscles as large as a man's. (②) Without male hormones, however, a woman cannot increase her muscle bulk as much as a man's. (③) Actually, regular exercise stabilizes the blood-sugar level, which prevents hunger pains. (④) Some people also think that a few minutes of exercise a day or one session a week is enough. (⑤) But at least three solid workouts a week are needed for muscular and cardiovascular fitness.

18. You use a euphemism because of your sensitivity for someone's feelings or out of concern for a social or cultural taboo. You use "pass away" because you do not want to say to a grieving person, "I'm sorry your father is dead." The euphemism here functions
not just to protect the feelings of another person, but to communicate your concern for that person's feelings during a period of mourning. When you use
"restroom," you respect the social taboos about discussing bodily functions in direct terms. You also indicate your sensitivity to the feelings of your audience, which is usually considered a mark of .
① courtesy ② generosity ③ hierarchy
④ sincerity ⑤ liveliness
19. The idea of organs for sale is creeping into health care discussion. The altruistic "gift relationship" may be inadequate as a motivator, and be an anachronism in medicine today. Though paying seems wrong, it may be than accepting the suffering and death of patients who cannot otherwise obtain trans- plants. Doctors and lawyers say the sale of organs by impoverished donors is a growing phenomenon.
① more desirable ② less official ③ more selfish
④ less usual ⑤ more secretive
20. By land economists mean all natural resources that are usable in the production process: arable land, forests, mineral and oil deposits, and so on. Then, what about capital? Capital goods, or investment goods, are all the synthetic aids to producing, storing, transporting, or distributing goods and services.
Capital goods differ from consumer goods in that the latter satisfy wants directly, while the former do so indirectly by facilitating the production of the latter. It should be noted that capital as defined here does not refer to money. Money alone nothing.
① produces ② uses ③ satisfies
④ serves ⑤ consumes
21. Recently many studies have been devoted to investigating the influence of attitude on the immune system, which is thought to be the intermediary between psychological states and physical illness. The emotional context, our interpretation of the events around us, could thus be the first link in a chain leading to illness. And since we can control context, the of these links between psychology and illness is good news. Diseases once thought to be purely physiological and incurable may be more amenable to personal control than we once believed.
① revision ② construction ③ clarification
④ split ⑤ manipulation
22. We women have been taught to assume that it is our responsibility to keep everything "nice" even when the person we are with is rude and aggressive.
In conversation with men, it is woman who throws out leading questions and verbal encouragements while the man, typically, says "Hmm." Wherever we go, we're perpetually smiling, being one of our culture's little rituals of submission. We're trained to feel embarrassed if we're praised, but if we see a criticism coming at us, we rush to acknowledge it.
And when we're feeling aggressive or angry, we just tighten up our smiles. In short, we spend a great deal of time acting like persons.
① timid ② moral ③ untruthful
④ passionate ⑤ sensible
23. Most of the thirty-five million Afro-Americans in the U.S. like me grow up in a house where every true mirror shows us the face of somebody who does not belong there, whose talk will never sound "right,"
because that house was meant to shelter a family that is alien and hostile to us. As we live around this environment, either we hide our original word habits, or we completely surrender our own voice, hoping to please those who will never respect anyone different from themselves. Black English is not exactly a linguistic buffalo, but we should understand its status as an endangered species, as a perishing, irreplaceable system of community intelligence, or we should expect its extinction, and, along with that, the extinguishing of much that .
① maintains our own interest in animals
② characterizes our own artistic preference
③ proves our own religious enthusiasm
④ constitutes our own identity
⑤ reveals our own linguistic origin
24. Until recently, astrology was considered a part of popular culture, and . But some researchers in Britain are trying to change this attitude.
Christopher Bagley and others at the University of Southampton have started the Critical Study of Astrology. They're pushing for the introduction of university-level courses to study the role of astrology in science, history and religion. However, most academics are critical of this trend. "Astrology is in the same category as fairies," says David Minott at Cambridge University. He thinks that universities should spend their money, time and effort on other, more important matters.
① it enjoyed popularity in the academic conferences
② no one in the academic world took it seriously
③ many professors received a research fund for it
④ few experts in academic institutions ignored it
⑤ a number of researchers studied it in great detail
25. It is essential to identify both denotation and connotation. The term denotation refers to the meaning you'd find in a dictionary; it's the meaning that members of the culture assign to a word.
Connotation is the emotional, or subjective meaning that specific listeners give to a word. To a doctor the word death might mean the time when the heart stops. This is an objective description of a particular event. , to a mother who is informed of her son's death, the word means much more. It recalls her son's youth, ambitions, family, illness, and so on.
To her, death is a highly emotional, personal, and subjective word.
① To sum up ② Furthermore ③ In other words
④ For example ⑤ On the other hand
26. 글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.
The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years in biology.
It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of twentieth-century science to the human intellect. We are, at last, facing up to it.
① The twentieth century is a confusing era in which to live.
② Although we are profoundly ignorant, researchers are making great advances.
③ The future is bewildering because we don't know enough to make a prediction.
④ Scientists in the eighteenth century have been proven wrong.
⑤ The major contribution of twentieth-century scientific study has been to show us how much we don't know.
27. 밑줄 친 부분의 의미로 가장 적절한 것은?
News magazines come at the end of the food chain of journalism. First, radio reports the news hourly, then the evening television news repeats it and adds pictures. Newspapers fill out the story in greater detail. Finally, the news magazine comes along to summarize and analyze it. By that time the reader may be suffering an acute case of information glut. It takes wit, reflection, a gift for compression, some fresh reporting or consultation with experts, and an original turn of mind to add something new. The real job of the news magazine is to help the reader to make sense out of his times. Those who can do this, the best of them, form a shaggy group of contentious minds.
① News magazines are given less detailed information and fewer pictures.
② The quality of the food served gets better as a reporter moves up through the ranks.
③ As other news media report a story that has already been reported, it becomes harder for news magazines to present it in a more interesting way.
④ News magazines have smaller lunch expense accounts than newspapers or television stations.
⑤ Because of a quarrelsome group of journalists, journalism has become a dog-eat-dog world.

A dominant myth for the Greeks was that of the family―or, specifically, the family that was doomed because of an ancient sin. No matter what the descendents did, they were born to suffer a wretched life and often a miserable death because of an ancestor's unspeakable crime. No one knows exactly why the Greeks were prone to such unhappy tales, but perhaps the reason has something to do with their overwhelming sense of fate―the idea that your destiny is already determined before you even have a chance to decide what to do with your life. We mention the family myth because in all societies with tight family units, family background is often blamed for the failures that sons and daughters experience.
Maybe a widespread human trait is to avoid taking full responsibility for one's life. We find a great many who are willing to do that!

Theodore Roosevelt called it "an act of piracy" and demanded war. On the French front, the Germans had just introduced poison gas, another alarming new weapon, and there were reports of Germany atrocities in Belgium. Still, most Americans wanted to stay out of war; like Wilson, they hoped negotiations could solve the problem. "There is such a thing," Wilson said a few days after the sinking of Lusitania, "as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force."

33. This modern cowboy story is set in 1949. It follows three young men on a wild ride on horseback out of Texas and into northern Mexico. Their adventure takes them out of twentieth-century America and into a totally different world, where it is still possible to live with horses and nature. There are the bad guys and good guys, as in the classic films, but it is not just a rewriting of a John Wayne movie. The characters are convincing and the descriptions of the natural world are truly brilliant.
The style is ambitious, and the masterful writing based on action-filled plot keeps our attention throughout. We hope the second volume will be as satisfying as this.
① To invite to the practice of storytelling
② To introduce a course on literature in college
③ To give information on famous western films
④ To advertise a new movie
⑤ To offer a review of a new book
34. I have often wondered at the savagery and thoughtlessness with which our early settlers approached this rich continent. They came at it as though it were an enemy, which of course it was.
They burned the forests and changed the rainfall;
they swept the buffalo from the plains, blasted the streams, set fire to the grass, and ran a reckless scythe through the virgin and noble timber. Perhaps they felt that it was limitless and could never be exhausted and that a man could move on to new wonders endlessly. Certainly there are many examples
to the contrary, but to a large extent the early people pillaged the country as though they hated it, as though they held it temporarily and might be driven off at any time.
① to explain the motives of the early settlement of America
② to describe how the settlements of early pioneers developed
③ to defend the way that early settlers exploited natural resources
④ to criticize early settlers' cruel treatment of Indians
⑤ to describe why and how early settlers destroyed their natural surroundings.

Edward was now in total darkness. The glow of the oil lamps through the high windows of the hall had been extinguished, wrapped up in an obscurity which was like some black velvet textile or soft inky stuff which filled space and touched Edward's face.
His feet, lacking confidence in this deprivation of sensory guidance, moved slowly and uncertainly, and he had lost his sense of direction.... The night sky, the arching trees, could as well have been the walls of a tiny black lightless room, an underground prison in the centre of which he was now standing. He reached out again but could touch nothing. Then suddenly something took him by the throat, an insufferable sensation that made him stagger and gasp harshly.... The sensation which had suddenly felled him was the one he had never experienced before.
① dreadful ② peaceful ③ festive
④ gloomy ⑤ disgraceful

What does being prompt or on time mean? What about being late? If you are consistently late for class, how might the instructor think about you and your attitude toward the course? Probably not very positively. We value promptness because it communi- cates professionalism, caring and respect. Spending a lot of time with someone is also considered a sign of caring and respect. In one study, the amount of time spent with someone was the leading predictor of relational satisfaction and understanding.
① Importance of Being on Time
② Use of Time: It's Social Meaning
③ Value of Time Spent with People
④ Promptness and Lateness
⑤ Ways of Spending Time with Others

37. Many middle-born children typically place great importance on their peer group. They are well known for going outside the home to make friends faster than anybody else in family. When a child feels like a fifth wheel at home, friends become very important.
While firstborns typically have fewer friends, middle children often have many. Middle children have a propensity to leave home first and live farther away from the family than anyone else. I observed a dramatic illustration of this tendency while I was a guest on Oprah Winfrey's show. The subject that day was sibling rivalry. Three charming young women, all sisters, were among the guests. I quickly saw that the firstborn and the last born had lived near their parents in the Eastern state where they had grown up while the middle child had moved to the West Coast.
① Middle-borns tend to be more sociable than others.
② Middle-borns are likely to feel like a fifth wheel at home.
③ Firstborns live closer to their parents than middle-borns.
④ Parents prefer living with firstborns or last-borns.
⑤ The hometown of the three female guests on Oprah Winfrey's show is in an Eastern state.
38. When we learn to read fiction, we acquire a pleasure and a resource we never lose. Although literary study is impractical in one sense―few people make their living reading books―in another it is almost as practical as breathing. Literature records and embodies centuries of human thought and feeling, preserving for us the minds of people who lived before us, who were like us and unlike us, against whom we can measure our common humanity and our historical difference. And when we read the stories of our contemporaries, they illuminate the world all of us share.
① Fiction may alter and enlarge our minds.
② Fiction helps understand our own feelings.
③ Fiction enables us to go beyond the limit as human beings.
④ Fiction contributes to expanding our knowledge of humanity.
⑤ Fiction leads us to delve into our connection with others both in the past and at present.

An understanding of basic psychology can help a person in many ways―but there are limits to what psychology can do for you. It is one thing to understand the origins of offensive or antisocial behavior and another thing to excuse it. Knowing that your short temper is a result, in part, of your
unhappy childhood doesn't give you a green light to yell at your family. Nor does scientific neutrality mean that a society must be legally or morally neutral. A better understanding of the origin of child beating may help us to reduce child abuse and treat offenders, but we can still hold child beaters accountable for their behavior.
Although knowledge of (A) may help us understand certain behaviors, it does not relieve us of (B) of our actions.
(A) (B)

② psychology --- responsibility

If you have not visited this shopping and entertainment paradise, you have missed seeing and experiencing the biggest mall on Earth—West Edmonton Mall. This mammoth facility covers over 110 acres and attracts over 20 million visitors a year from all over the world. The mall is not like most other malls. Sure, it has shops, shops and more shops. In fact, it has more than 800 stores.
But the mall has more than shops to attract visitors. Almost 40% of the mall's space is dedi- cated to attractions as well as a hotel and more than 100 food outlets, and it is all under one roof.
The Fantasyland Hotel has 355 guest rooms, but 127 of these rooms have been specially "themed"
and decorated to fulfill guests' desires for travel adventures. When it's time to take a break from shopping, there are a number of things to do and see, including Galaxyland Amusement Park, World Waterpark, Deep Sea Submarine Adventure, and Sea Life Caverns, a full-scale casino, a bowling emporium, three movie complexes.
Deciding what to do can be as difficult as deciding what to buy. Viewing many animal attractions exhibiting more than two hundred species of animals such as dolphins, fish, exotic birds, and a colony of breeding penguins takes you back to nature. A ride on the roller coaster will find you dropping 14 floors at over 70 miles per hour, while the tranquility of the submarine ride will transport you to exotic coral reefs. Or, you could splash down into the water park that covers an area the size of five football fields.

For the past month there have been a couple of ex-prisoners patching up our house. They arrive, unpredictably, any time between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. to start work. What they have done is a job which surely surpasses the efforts of the official builders we employed earlier in the year, at far less cost and with that rare attribute, enthusiasm. We found these two through "Happy Guys," a community organization which operates an employment agency aiming to bring some level of ideology to the work situation as well as supplying almost anything you might want from bathroom cleaner to film director.
① The two workers got paid more than the official builders we hired before.
② The goal of "Happy Guys" is to offer limited, but quality services of home repairs.
③ The two workers work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
④ The two workers do a better job than the ones we hired before.
⑤ The two workers show little enthusiasm in their job.

47. An ancient Egyptian mummy is back home after a journey across the world that began with a tomb robbery. ① The mummy is believed to be the remains of Ramses the First, ruler of Egypt from 1293 to 1291 B.C. ② Ramses the Second was one of the most notable kings in Egyptian history, and left monuments throughout Egypt including famous temples. ③ Egyptologists said the mummy had been spirited out of the country in 1860 after thieves looted him from a royal tomb near Luxor. ④ It was taken first to a Canadian museum until it was purchased in 1999 by the Michael Carlos Museum in Atlanta, U.S. ⑤ On discovery that it was in fact a royal mummy, the curator of the museum suggested it be returned to Egypt as a token of friendship to the Egyptian people.
48. Mrs. Santos의 심경 변화를 가장 잘 나타내는 것은?
Mrs. Santos saw her two-year-old daughter, Carmelita, leaning out of the kitchen window of a fifth-floor apartment. She had climbed onto a chair, and soon was climbing out onto the window sill. Mrs.
Santos called to Carmelita to go back inside. But the little girl did not understand the situation and only waved to her mother. Then she lost her balance and her feet slipped off the window sill. She managed to hold on for a while with her hands, but she began to be afraid. Her mother screamed for help, and now Carmelita was crying desperately. And then she could hold on no longer. Down she fell, five long stories―
and landed safe and sound in the arms of three strong men who had run out into the street, and been ready to catch her. Carmelita's parents cannot believe how close they came to losing their daughter.

(A)
As things stand, the one-third of Americans who are not overweight subsidize the two-thirds of Americans who are. It's in everyone's interest to shift the balance back toward healthier, slimmer lives.
(B)
Two pounds of apples cost more than one. Mailing a big, fat envelope is more expensive than mailing a letter. Smokers pay more for life insurance than do nonsmokers.
So why shouldn't you pay an airline according to how much you weigh and how much space you take up?
A report the other day from the National Center for Environmental Health tells us that our collective national belt-loosening is costing the airlines big money―an extra $275 million in fuel costs in one year to account for the 10-pound average increase in Americans' weight over the past decade.
The airlines are desperately trying to cut fuel costs by cutting the weight they carry―replacing metal utensils with plastic ones, scrapping heavy magazines. But the solution lies directly beneath the floor of the passenger cabin. Charge passengers by the pound, just as freight in the cargo hold is priced.
That would not only help the airlines, but more important, would create a social and financial disincentive for becoming or staying obese.
