Roger had everything he needed to play tennis ― except two hands and a leg. When his parents saw ① him for the first time, they saw a baby with two forearms but no palms.

8. 다음 글의 목적으로 가장 적절한 것은?
One of the common features of all successful people is that they view their time as a precious resource. When you are late for appointments with people who value their time, you will have wasted one of their most valuable resources. There is a chance they will view you as rude and irresponsible. Is this how you want to brand yourself? Not only should you make every effort to be on time for business-related appointments, but you should also do your best to be on time for personal appointments. Valuing your friends’ time and earning their respect is an important part of how you are recognized by others.

[11∼14] 다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.
11. Some creatures of earth, the worms and amoeba stay alive with very ___________ rules. Basically, they go toward things that benefit them and avoid things that harm them. The range of their reality is narrow and clear. They don’t worry about the future or think about the past; they may not even have a concept of time at all. Their system works, and it has kept them alive for a few billion bookless, mythless, historianless years. Their nervous systems don’t need much more than the ability to sense things that are good or bad, and the ability to move in the right direction while avoiding obstacles.
① harsh ② official ③ simple
④ annoying ⑤ dangerous
12. Allow me to introduce you to two men, Alan and Ben.
Without thinking about it too long, decide whom you prefer.
Alan is smart, hardworking, critical, stubborn, and jealous.
Ben, however, is jealous, stubborn, critical, hardworking, and smart. Who would you prefer to get stuck with in an elevator? Most people would choose Alan, even though the descriptions are exactly the same. Your brain pays more attention to the first words in the lists, causing you to identify two different personalities. Alan is smart and hardworking. Ben is jealous and stubborn. In short, the first characteristics ______________ the rest. [3점]
① strengthen ② require ③ recover
④ copy ⑤ beat
13. If you hear or read a word multiple times in a row, a strange thing might happen. All of a sudden, that word just __________________________. Keep focusing on the word and it will eventually seem like nothing more than a mix-up of letters. The more you stare at it, the more confusing it gets.
The oddest part about it is that the word is often not a new vocabulary word you are unfamiliar with ― it’s usually one you know well, a word as ordinary as people, truck, or love.
Suppose there is a sentence with the same word repeated eight times. It might give you the feeling that a common word suddenly seems unworldly.
① stops making sense
② turns into an image
③ stimulates your creativity
④ delivers negative meanings
⑤ reminds you of similar words
14. If you want to help people to cope with test anxiety, a useful strategy might be to tell them that you think that __________________________. When people are told, “You’re the kind of person who can improve your performance under pressure,” their actual performance improves by 33 percent.
The message changes the meaning of the first sign of anxiety from “you won’t make it” to “you’re getting ready to excel.” Telling people who are nervous that they need to calm down only convinces them that they lack abilities. Instead, trusting them to control the pressure can help them rise to the challenge. [3점]
① what matters is others’ opinions
② success depends on good luck
③ others also worry about tests
④ teachers will help them
⑤ they can handle it
15. 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지

Maps are drawings, which reduce the entire world or a part of it, to fit on a sheet of paper. Or, we can say maps are ① drawn to reduced scales. But this ② reduction is done very carefully so that the distance between the places is real.
It can only be possible when a small distance on paper represents a large distance on the ③ ground. Therefore, a scale is chosen for this purpose. Scale is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance ④ shown on the map. Thus, scale is very important in any map. You will be ⑤ unable to find out the real distance between any two places on a map based on a scale.

16. (A), (B), (C)의 각 네모 안에서 문맥에 맞는 낱말로 가장 적절한 것은?
Having some time off from achieving your goal is generally not a good idea, but in some cases it can be. If you continually feel frustration through repeated ineffective actions that result in (A) failure / success , you could eventually fall into depression. So sometimes, it’s a (B) bad / good idea to take a step back, stop what you are doing and give yourself a break.
By doing so, you can then reflect on your actions and try to come up with a new way of doing things. You are not completely giving up on your final goal by stepping back for a while. But rather, you are (C) taking / wasting some much needed time to recharge before you start working again.

As our ship got nearer to the turn of the land, the sharp rocks began to threaten us here and there on the path; and the captain sometimes cried down to us to change the course.
Sometimes, indeed, none too soon; for one rock was so close to the ship that when a sea burst upon it the lighter sprays fell upon the deck and wetted us like rain. The brightness of the night showed us these dangers as clearly as by day, which was, perhaps, the more alarming. It showed me, too, the serious face of the captain as he looked over the dark and rough sea.
① tense ② boring ③ lively
④ peaceful ⑤ pleasant

These bacteria break down the sugars present from the leftover food in the mouth and release acids.
Normally bacteria are present in our mouth but they are not harmful to us. ( ① ) However, if we do not clean our teeth and mouth after eating, many harmful bacteria also begin to live and grow in it. ( ② ) The acids gradually damage the teeth. ( ③ ) This is called “tooth decay.” ( ④ ) If it is not treated in time, it causes severe toothache and in extreme cases results in tooth loss. ( ⑤ ) Chocolates, sweets, cold drinks and other sugar products are the ones that usually cause tooth decay.

( ② ) After meeting him, Nobel got interested in the use of nitro-glycerine for construction. ( ③ ) While experimenting in 1866, he mixed it with a fine sand that turned this liquid into paste. ( ④ ) Nobel got a patent on this material and named it “dynamite,” which made him a wealthy man. ( ⑤ ) He used this fortune to establish the Nobel Prize.

[21∼22] 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장을 고르시오.
21. Sharing emotions helps us connect. Suppose I watch a really touching video. If I share that video with a friend, he is likely to feel similarly touched. ① And the fact that we both feel the same way helps deepen our social connection.
② It highlights our similarities and reminds us how much we have in common. ③ Emotion sharing is thus a bit like social glue, maintaining and strengthening relationships. ④ It is hard to read other’s emotions without the help of facial expressions.
⑤ The fact that we both feel the same way ties us together even if we are not in the same place.
22. Even practice does not make perfect if people lack immediate, clear feedback after each try. Suppose you are practicing your golf putting skills. ① If you hit ten balls toward the same hole, it is easy to get a sense of how hard you have to hit the ball. ② Even the least talented golfers will soon learn to guess distance under this situation. ③ Suppose instead you didn’t get clear feedback, hitting the golf balls without seeing where they were going. ④ The greatest physical benefit to playing golf is getting exercise from walking. ⑤ In that situation, you could practice all day and never get any better because you don’t get any feedback.

(A) , if you and your friends think that going to college is important, it may influence you to put more effort into studying. This is all positive peer pressure. (B) , if your group of friends thinks that stealing is cool and to fit in with them you also begin to steal, this is negative peer pressure. This negative pressure may make you afraid to express an opinion that is different.

25. Charlotte Salomon에 관한 다음 글의 내용과 일치하는 것은?
Charlotte Salomon was sixteen when the Nazis came to power in 1933. In 1936, Salomon got admitted to an art college in Berlin, where she was the only Jewish student. She even won a prize there although it was later cancelled for racial reasons. She was very interested in modern art. When the Entartete Kunst exhibition came to town, she was deeply inspired by the works. Later, she used many of the techniques of modern art to create one of the most remarkable autobiographies. The book called Life? or Theater? shows her struggle to live in the shadow of Nazi Germany. She tells her story through 769 paintings. The book has been called “the pictorial version of Anne Frank’s diary.”

26. The Romans showed an imaginative new use for glass as a material: They invented window glass. Before the Romans, windows were open to the wind. These might have wooden shutters or cloth curtains to keep out wind and rain. The idea that a see-through material might be able to provide complete protection was innovative. Their glass windows were small and melted together with lead. That’s because they did not have the technology to make large sheets of glass, but they first started architectural uses of glass.

27. You can practice reducing the amount of waste you produce by choosing to buy products that do not create excess waste. When shopping, you can choose not to buy single serve products but to buy products that have packaging that can be easily recycled. Reusable bags are also a good way to reduce wastes. Families can reduce food waste by starting a compost pile in the backyard. Things like leaves, paper, coffee grounds, and other items can be added to a compost pile, which can then be used to make gardens. You can then use your garden to grow food and avoid having to buy fruits and vegetables that come in packaging.

[28∼29] 다음 글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.
28. At no other time in life does music hold such a central role as it does during the teen years. The average teenager living in the developed worlds spends about two and a half hours per day listening to music. That is hard to believe for most adults, but the figure was a common average across many studies, even before MP3 players were widely used.
Music is a preferred leisure time activity for teenagers.
Although sports often rank highest in leisure interests, music ranks first for indoor activity.
① teenagers’ high preference for music as a leisure activity
② ways to bring adults and teenagers closer together
③ teenagers’ interest in music as a subject
④ positive effects of leisure time on adults
⑤ benefits of listening to classical music
29. Teaching your child about personal space is very important and it needs to be taught early on. You can teach her how to recognize and understand personal space by providing an appropriate example. Offer a visual lesson by teaching her about the “personal bubble.” Grab a hula hoop and have her hold it at waist level. Tie two strips of ribbon or string to the hula hoop to create two shoulder straps to hold the hula hoop in place. As she walks around, explain that the space around her is her own bubble. You can tell her that family members and friends can give hugs and kisses inside each others’ bubbles, but strangers shouldn’t get inside the bubble.

② the importance of learning to hula hoop

30. Multiple studies show that people who sleep less are more likely to be fat. One study that followed 500 people for 13 years found that people who regularly slept less than seven hours a night were 7.5 times more likely to be overweight ― even after controlling for physical activity, family history and other factors. Researchers think this is mostly due to changes in hormone caused by the lack of sleep ― not getting enough sleep stimulates your appetite. Basically, one of the most effective diet plans is just getting enough sleep.

31. While there is something to be said for “staying on the sunny side of life,” the truth is, sometimes life gives you pain, and the healthiest thing you can do is to admit it.
Denying negative emotions leads to experiencing deeper negative emotions and to emotional disorder. Constant positivity is a form of avoidance, not a solution to life’s problems. It is simple, really: things go wrong, people upset us, accidents happen. These things make us feel negative.
And that’s fine. Negative emotions are necessary for emotional health. To deny negativity is to cause to continue problems rather than solve them.

Whether a product is observable or not influences people’s purchase behavior. Suppose a clothing company introduces a new shirt style. If you see your friend wearing it and decide you like it, you can go buy the same shirt, or something similar.
(A) The same goes for toothpaste versus cars. You probably don’t know what kind of toothpaste your neighbors use.
It’s hidden inside their house, inside their bathroom.
(B) Unlike toothpaste, you are likely to know what car they drive. Because car preferences are easier to observe, it is much more likely that your neighbors’ purchase behavior can influence yours.
(C) But this is much less likely to happen with socks. Why?
Because shirts are public and socks are private. They are harder to see.

33. How often do we try to do more than one thing at once?
When you do too many things at once, it is impossible to be present-moment oriented. Not only do you lose out on much of the potential enjoyment of what you are doing, but you also become far less focused and effective. Whether you are washing dishes, talking on the phone, driving a car, playing with your child or reading a magazine, try to focus only on that one thing. Be present in what you are doing. If you are focused, you’ll get things done more quickly and efficiently.

34. Each year, millions of young people enroll in America’s colleges. Excited by the opportunities of college and hopeful about their futures, these students frequently see college as a step toward realizing their dreams. Some may dream of being teachers, others might hope to be doctors, and some might even think about being the President of the United States.
However, the high price of college is impacting many students’
futures: the money that students need to borrow in order to attend college is limiting their opportunities after it. College should cost less in order to help more students achieve their goals.

Everyone hates to lose things, but how bad does losing something make a person feel? A simple experiment shows how much people hate losses. Half the students in a class are given coffee mugs with the logo of their university printed on it. The students who do not get a mug are asked to examine their neighbor’s mugs. Then the mug owners are asked to sell their mugs and nonowners are asked to buy them. They do so by answering the question:
At what price would you be willing to give up your mug or buy a mug? The results show that the mug owners ask for a price that is twice as high as the price mug buyers are willing to pay for them. This shows that when people have to give something up, they are hurt more than they are pleased if they acquire the exact same thing.

The hurt people feel when losing something is (A) than the happiness they feel when (B) the very same thing.

Speaking is natural communication. Writing isn’t! People are born with a natural ability to speak, but no one is born with a special ability to write well. Writing is a(n) ____________ skill. In our society, we begin to acquire writing ability early in life and continue to develop as writers throughout our lifetimes.
Learning to write is a lot like learning to play the saxophone or becoming a good dancer. A dancer, for example, must have an element of natural talent, but that talent improves with practice. Not just occasional practice, but intensive and passionate practice. That’s why prima ballerinas go to class every morning to tune their skills in full detail. Excellence doesn’t come easily, and quality is built not on dreams but on continuous effort. Writing practice, in fact, has real longevity. Even though the ballerina’s flexibility decreases over time, a writer’s talent keeps improving with age. When you learn to write, you need the ingredients: a bit of ability, a good writing coach, respect for correctness, innovation and confidence. Then you need the recipe for writing: practice, practice and a bit more practice.

I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears in front of my boss.

His understanding and (e) his willingness to both let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were unforgettable gifts. I still carry the warm memory in my heart to this day.
