Our records indicate that your company has been an active participant in our last five annual conventions and we are looking forward to seeing you again at the gathering next year. Our main theme will be “Advertising in a Virtual World.” But as usual we are looking for a variety of participants that represent the entire spectrum of advertising activity. Although the convention is still nine months away, it isn’t too early to reserve space on the exhibition floor or time slots for presentations. If your company is planning on taking part as an exhibitor or presenter, please fill out the attached form and return it to us as soon as possible. Bear in mind that exhibition space and presentation times are allotted on a first come, first served basis to those who put down a small holding fee, with the balance due 60 days before the convention begins. Also, there is a substantial 15 % discount for early registration. We look forward to hearing from you and to seeing you next July. Sincerely, Clarence Dalton Convention Committee Chairman ① This is not the first time for the National Association of Advertisers to hold a convention. ② Only one theme will be addressed in the convention. ③ Nine months is left before the convention is held. ④ Fee is required to reserve exhibition space or presentation time. 【문 2】다음 글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. As government functions in many countries are increasingly delivered within democratic systems, it is essential that the capacity of all branches of government, in addition to that of the executive branch, also be developed. The important oversight functions of national assembly or parliament, particularly in the allocation and use of public funds, can, for example, only be adequately carried out if their technical abilities are enhanced. Similarly, the capacity of the judicial system would need to be strengthened if regulatory frameworks are to be applied impartially, if secure systems of property rights are to be upheld, and if an efficient system for the enforcement of contractual obligations is to emerge. ① 신속한 국정 처리를 위해서 입법 절차가 간소화되어야 한다. ② 사법부의 행정부와 입법부 견제 기능이 보다 강화되어야 한다. ③ 사회가 발전할수록 정부 기능이 복잡하고 비대해지기 쉽다. ④ 정부의 각 기능별 능력은 치우침 없이 골고루 강화되어야 한다. 【문 3】다음 밑줄 친 부분 중, 지칭하는 대상이 나머지 셋과 다른 하나는? When new hires start their careers with the Four Seasons Hotels, they receive an immediate message about their importance to this company. All new ① employees are asked to spend a night or two in the hotel where they will work prior to joining the company. They experience firsthand what it is like to be a guest in a luxury hotel. ② They see their new workplace from the guest’s eyes before being asked to see it from an employee’s perspective. The company also lets new hires know right away that their ideas and input are important. The companies askss that each new employee complete detailed reports about ③ his or her stay, and from this information ④ they get valuable data to help them identify areas in the hotel that may need additional attention. Both the new employee and the hotel benefit from the experience. 【문 4】다음 글에서 밑줄 친 That attitude의 의미로 가장 적절한 것은? Socrates believed that if you are truly wise you will not be obsessed with possessions. Practicing to an extreme what he taught, he even refused to wear shoes. Yet, he loved to visit the market place and look with admiration at the great abundance of wares on display. One day, someone asked him why he was interested in looking at all those things. Socrates replied, “I love to go there and discover how many things I am perfectly happy without.” That attitude is contrary to the commercial messages that continually bombard our eyes and ears. Advertisers spend millions telling us about the latest products that we can’t be happy without. ① 물질에 초연한 것 ② 말과 행동이 다른 것 ③ 보편적 진리를 추구하는 것 ④ 물질적인 만족을 추구하는 것 【문 5】글의 흐름으로 보아, 주어진 문장이 들어가기에 가장 적절한 곳은? For our ancestors, however, there was a problem with being an omnivore. Humans, like many primates, are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals. Incidentally, it is interesting to note that although we have some front cutting teeth, like those of carnivores, our back teeth (molars) are more like those of herbivores. ( ① ) This is one of many facts that suggest that we have been omnivores for some time. ( ② ) It has been argued from an evolutionary perspective that there was a distinct advantage for our ancestors to be omnivores; it meant they were not dependent on one type of food source. ( ③ ) Should one supply run out, they could readily shift to another source. ( ④ ) This increased the odds of being poisoned. The more foods that one ate, the greater the likelihood of being poisoned. 【문 6】다음 글의 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은? Pessimists are right when they say that, if the world continues as it is, it will end in disaster for all humanity. If all transport depends on oil, and oil runs out, then transport will cease. But notice the conditional if. The world will not continue as it is. That is the whole point of human progress, the whole message of cultural evolution, and the whole import of dynamic change. The human race has become a collective problem-solving machine and it solves problems by changing its ways. It does so through invention driven often by the market: scarcity drives up price, which encourages the development of alternatives and of efficiencies. It has happened often in history. When whales grew scarce, petroleum was used instead as a source of oil. The pessimists' mistake is . ① insisting that words speak louder than actions ② keeping their own insight and wisdom to themselves ③ assuming that the future is just a bigger version of the past ④ denying the notion of society and encouraging separateness

【문 7】글의 흐름으로 보아, 주어진 문장이 들어가기에 가장 적절한 곳은? Actually, however, dead things are not classified with non-living things; for the latter has no life, but, more importantly, it never did possess life. It may seem easy to define what living things are, but actually to do so with scientific accuracy is really difficult. All that can be said is that living things possess certain characteristics in common, and these provide the power which results in the phenomenon of what is called life. ( ① ) On the other hand, certain familiar objects, such as a piece of glass or a bar of iron, have no life, and are said to be non-living. ( ② ) A dead plant or animal could conceivably be placed in the latter category. ( ③ ) On the other hand, a dead thing, though it no longer possesses life, did so at one time. ( ④ ) There are, therefore, three groups of matter from the biologist’s point of view: living, dead, and non-living. 【문 8】다음 글의 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은? Can anyone be joyous during wartime? For both winners and losers, war is a curse. It brings nothing but death and destruction. It destroys feelings of compassion and understanding, and it encourages aggression and brutality. To those who argue that war is not a curse but a reasonable and rational way to defend property and prestige, I can only shake my head in sorrow. Even the necessity of self-defense cannot be an adequate for war, the most terrible of human tragedies. ① benefit ② justification ③ symbol ④ opportunity 【문 9】주어진 글 다음에 이어질 글의 순서로 가장 적절한 것은? There are many wonders regarding the behaviors of animals. One of them is the return of salmon to their birth place. (A) How do they return to their birthplace so far away? Scientists do not know exactly how a salmon “remembers” its way back to its native stream after an ocean journey possibly lasting several years and covering several thousand miles. (B) Some of them theorize that this internal compass uses the infinitely small electrical voltages generated by the ocean currents as they travel through the earth’s magnetic field. Others believe that the salmon’s homing mechanism may take its cues from the varying salinities of the water or specific smells encountered along the journey. (C) They agree, however, that salmon, like homing pigeons, appear to have an innate compass or “search recognition” mechanism that operates independently of astronomical or physical signs. ① (A) – (C) – (B) ② (B) – (C) – (A) ③ (C) – (A) – (B) ④ (C) – (B) – (A) 【문 10】주어진 문장 다음에 이어질 순서로 적절한 것은? [ Leaders who continually remind their followers of a long history of outrages their nation has suffered produce a vengeful violent people. ] (A) In contrast, Nelson Mandela tried to break the endless cycle of violence. In leading South Africa, he refused to indulge in the bitter past and moved his divided nation toward reconciliation. (B) Similarly, Yakubu Gowon in Nigeria worked hard not to punish the Ibo after the Biafran rebellion was crushed in the late 1960s, preventing bloodshed. (C) For example, Archbishop Makarios in Cyprus continued to stir up hatred against the Turks after he came to power. This made peace between Greeks and Turks almost impossible, and it did much to set up the catastrophic invasion by the Turkish army. ① (A)-(B)-(C) ② (B)-(A)-(C) ③ (C)-(A)-(B) ④ (C)-(B)-(A) 【문 11】다음 글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르세요. Are you tired of always being told to “look on the bright side”? Are you criticized for imagining worst-case scenarios? Do you wish your optimistic friends would just leave you alone and let you be negative? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be one of the millions of people who have learned to cope with the pressures of modern life by using defensive pessimism, a strategy of imagining the worst-case scenario of any situation. Indulging in negative thoughts like these actually helps people go on to do their best by preparing for the worst. In fact, many people perform more poorly when forced to think positive, since negative thinking is often an effective strategy for managing anxiety. ① Looking on the Bright Side of Life ② Defensive Pessimism: A Risky Strategy ③ The Positive Power of Negative Thinking ④ Negative Thinking Versus Positive Illusions 【문 12】다음 글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것은? The Moon is more than a quarter of the diameter of the Earth, which makes the Earth the only planet in the solar system with a sizeable moon in comparison to itself. Then what difference does it make to us? Without the Moon's steadying influence, the Earth would wobble like a dying top causing dramatic changes in climate and weather. The Moon's steady gravitational influence keeps the Earth spinning at the right speed and angle to provide the sort of stability necessary for the long and successful development of life. This won't go on forever. The Moon is slipping from our planet at a rate of about 1.5 inches a year. In another two billion years it will have receded so far that it won't keep us steady and we will have to come up with some other solution, but in the meantime you should think of it as much more than just a pleasant feature in the night sky. ①The Earth: Home of Life in the Universe ②Effects of Gravitational Pull in the Universe ③Conditions for Maintaining Life on the Earth ④The Moon: A Supportive Companion of the Earth 【문 13】다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 적절한 것은? A good illustration of the importance of feedback is contained in the responses of a group of blind women interviewed by a team of Italian psychologists. They were asked ① describing the most enjoyable experiences in their lives. For these women, many of ② who had been sightless since birth, the most frequently mentioned enjoyable experiences were the result of reading books in Braille, praying, and helping each other in case of sickness or other need. Of the people ③ were interviewed by the team, these blind women stressed more than anyone else the importance of receiving clear feedback as a condition for enjoying whatever they were doing. ④ Unable to see what was going on around them, they needed to know even more than sighted people whether what they were trying to accomplish was actually coming to pass. 【문 14】다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은? There are two reasons why it is important to face a feeling, examine it and evaluate it at the time you encounter it, ① how small it may be. One is that you get it off your chest before you magnify it far beyond its true proportion. ② The other is that you start to build patterns of feeling, thinking, and action which are bound to bring about some change in your problem. The great problems you may have, which ③ prevent you from enjoying live, were originally small ones – when you were a child. You allowed them to grow into monsters because you knew no better. Now as a mature adult, you can know better – and you can gain that knowledge by taking a fresh look at ④ yourself.

【문 15】빈칸에 들어갈 것으로 적절한 것은? It cannot be too often repeated that it is not the sunshine and calm and pleasant experiences that make men great, but its rugged experiences, its storms, and trials. Early hardship, especially, is often . It is the rough Atlantic Ocean, the cold, dark, winter nights, the fierce "northers," that make the British and the American sailors the toughest and most skillful in the world. The training in the school of hardship and sorrow produces the most able pupils, and the hill of difficulty is the best of all exercises for the strengthening of mental backbones. Great men can no more be made without trials than bricks can be made without fire. ① a double-edged sword ② two peas in a pod ③ a blessing in disguise ④ a case in point 【문 16】다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은? Every situation, properly ① perceived, becomes an opportunity. But you have to act on it if you're going to be successful. Distant pastures always look greener than ② those close at hand, but real opportunities are right where you are. You must take advantage of them when they appear. Success is not in your environment, in luck or chance, or in the help of others. Success is in yourself alone. Take a second look at ③ what appears to be someone's "good luck." You'll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking. When you're prepared for opportunity, your chance for success is sure to come. The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. Decide that this year will be your year for success and prepare for it ④ happens. 【문 17】주어진 문장이 들어가기에 적절한 곳은? [The process of agriculture, the food we eat, the clothes we wear and our social relations were all at one time under the domain of religion and its high priests.] Belief in a supreme being does not always play the uplifting and civilizing role that it did in the past. (A) Religion, though it has undoubtedly brought comfort to innumerable human beings and stabilized society by its values, has checked the tendency to change and progress inherent in human society. (B) However, as knowledge advances, the domain of religion shrinks. The more we understand life and nature, the less we look for supernatural causes. (C) Whatever we can understand and control ceases to be a mystery. (D) Gradually they have passed out of its control and become subjects for scientific study. ① A ② B ③ C ④ D 【문 18】18. 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장은? Alaska was a possession of Russia from the time it was discovered in 1741. As early as 1855, Russia attempted to sell the land to the United States. But it wasn’t until 1867 that Secretary of State William Steward negotiated a treaty to buy it. ① Americans called the new land Steward’s Folly or Steward’s Icebox. ② The ice box was used long ago, but there was no record about who invented it first. ③ Gold was discovered at the end of the century and President Taft made Alaska a territory in August, 1912. ④ Alaskans fought for statehood for over 40 years, but Alaska officially became the 49th state when President Eisenhower signed the statehood proclamation on January 3, 1959. 【문 19】다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a naturally talented writer to write high-quality articles. Whether you are writing articles for a newspaper or magazine, the most important thing is that your article needs to be . People are always rushing these days, and they are not going to want to read long articles. The point is that you should write a 400-600 word article. That range is ideal because articles that look like college discourse will not be perceived easily, and articles shorter than 300 words do not seem to provide enough information. Four-to-six-hundred-word articles allow you to effectively inform in a brief style. ① unique and creative ② grammatically correct ③ concise and informative ④ professional and credible 【문 20】다음 빈칸에 가장 알맞은 것으로 짝지은 것을 고르시오. As we get older, what is important to us also changes. The goals that we set for ourselves in our twenties are different from those we set for ourselves in our forties and our sixties. Studies have shown, for instance, that young people are more likely to have goals that involve seeking new information, acquiring knowledge, and experiencing novelty. When faced with a choice between having dinner with their favorite author and their favorite aunt, they choose the former. Older people, (A) , make the opposite choice. They are more concerned with emotionally meaningful goals - maximizing positive emotions and avoiding unpleasant ones - than with expanding their information horizons. (B) , the priorities that we place on our goals change with the time. (A) (B) ① by contrast In sum ② for example Accordingly ③ by contrast Instead ④ for example Likewise 【문 21】다음 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 어휘의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 거 은? Perhaps the allure of the lawn is the human genes. The sociobiologists think so: they’ve gone so far as to propose a “Savanna Syndrome” to explain our ① fondness for grass. Encoded in our DNA is a preference for an open grassy landscape ② resembling the shortgrass savannas of Africa on which we evolved and spent our first few thousand years. A grassy plain dotted with trees ③ lacks safety from predators and a suitable environment for grazing animals ; this is said to explain why we have remade the wooded landscape of Europe and North America in the image of East Africa. Thorstein Veblen, too, thought the popularity of lawns might be a throwback to our ④ pastoral roots. “The close-cropped lawn,” he wrote in The Theory of the Leisure Class, “is beautiful in the eyes of a people whose inherited bent it is to readily find pleasure in contemplating a well-preserved pasture or grazing land.”

【문 22】다음 글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. If you were a bird, would you bring live snakes into your nest? “Never!” you say. Yet, one species of bird does just that – the screech owl. Screech owls kill and eat some blind snakes, but others are brought to the nest to live in nest debris, a protected environment with abundant food. There they eat insect larvae from the decomposer community in fecal matter and uneaten prey. The snakes remain in the nest until the chicks fledge and the adults abandon the nest. The owl also benefits from living with snakes. Consumption of larvae by snakes reduces larval parasitism an owl nestlings or larval competition with nestlings for food stored in the nest. A comparison of nests with and without snakes revealed that chicks living with snakes grew faster and suffered lower mortality. ① Weird Behaviors of Birds ② Snakes – Housekeepers for Owls ③ Snakes in Owl Nests: A Novel Partnership ④ Why Rivalry Is Unavoidable in the Wild 【문 23】(A),(B),(C)에서 문맥에 맞는 낱말로 가장 잘 짝지은 것은? Professor Antonio Damasio believes that emotions (A) [ interefere / assist ] with cognitive tasks like reasoning and decision making. When we reason about situations and predict different outcomes, we use our emotions to evaluate the hypothetical outcomes and to inform our decisions. Imagine you’re giving a presentation tomorrow and need to prepare, but you also feel like popping in a DVD and relaxing. Opting to prepare is the responsible choice, but it is not merely a matter of reason winning out over emotion. Your choice still involves emotion: you imagine the scenario in which you watch the movie and find yourself, the next day, standing in front of a group of colleagues (B) [ unprepared / confident ]. The uneasy feeling elicited by that embarrassing situation nudges you toward the right path. Imagining consequences can make a bad decision painful and a good one pleasant. Of course, sometimes we choose to ignore the built-in (C) [ warning / rewarding ] system and make bad decisions anyway. (A) (B) (C) ① interfere unprepared warning ② interfere confident rewarding ③ assist unprepared warning ④ assist confident rewarding 【문 24】잉카 제국에 관한 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은? The Inca emperor derived his huge power and authority from the gods. The supreme god was the sun god. It was from him that the ruler passed on his right to rule to his cleverest son. The land holdings were immense; there were rich farmlands and woolly-haired animals for wool. Precious metals were plentiful: silver, copper, bronze, and the most sacred of all, gold. There was no lack of idols and ornaments hammered from this gleaming metal. There was always more gold coming from the mines to refill the supply. At the peak of his power, the Inca ruler died without naming his successor. In 1493 two sons began a fierce fatal struggle for control. For the next 40 years, the empire sank into a listlessness caused by civil war. ① 최고로 숭배하는 신은 태양신이었다. ② 영토가 광활했으며 비옥한 농지를 가지고 있었다. ③ 태양신 이외의 우상들은 황금으로 제작할 수 없었다. ④ 금이 많이 나와 항상 공급을 채울 만큼 풍부했다. 【문 25】다음 글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. There is so much to be done in our world. It is easy to spend so much energy on all the things that need to be done that we end up with no time left for our family or ourselves. But, it’s important to understand that, if we fail to balance our lives, we’ll burn out. The most productive time in the cycle of many plants is the dormant season, when it appears that nothing is going on, but the plants are being prepared for new, healthy growth. Without that season of dormancy, there will be no season of productivity. We all need a season of rest and restoration occasionally. If we rob ourselves of that season, we also rob ourselves of the season of new growth and productivity that follows. ① the necessity of rest ② setting priorities for tasks ③ balancing time and money ④ the outcomes of new growth
