【문 1】다음 글에서 필자가 느끼는 심경으로 가장 알맞은 것은? With text messages, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her cell phone. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to the assistant when you can swipe your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch with others has made me lonely. I own a mobile phone, a credit card, and an e-mail account. They are great for what they are intended to do. It's their unintended results that make me sad. What good is all this incredible technology if there is no one in the room to hear me crying out "Incredible"? ① light-hearted ② depressed ③ perky ④ pleased 【문 2】다음 글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. If we could take snapshots of what was happening on planet Earth at intervals of a few hundred thousand years, starting at its early stages as a gigantic mass of coalescing gasses, what we would see is a movement toward increasing complexity in material structures. More and more complex molecules of inanimate matter are followed by the first simple living organisms. Then the one-celled life-forms join into multicellular systems with specialized internal organs, culminating in an ever more differentiated and integrated nervous system. Finally the big brain of humans makes it possible for them to take evolution to a new level: that of culture, where more and more complex information need no longer be coded in the genes, but can be compressed in memes - units of learning contained in media such as stories, books, and computers. ① How Magnificent Planet Earth Is! ② Development of Learning Units in Media ③ How Human Beings Came into Planet Earth? ④ Evolution of Complexity on Planet Earth 【문 3】다음 글의 빈칸 (A), (B)에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은? One of the most important and difficult jobs of archaeologists is dating their finds. Determining the age of human fossils makes it possible to understand when and where the first humans emerged. (A) , the dating of artifacts left by humans helps them understand the growth of early societies. How, then, do archaeologists determine the ages of the artifacts and fossils they find? One valuable method is radiocarbon dating. All living things absorb a small amount of radioactive carbon (C-14) from the atmosphere. After a living thing dies, it slowly loses C-14. Using radiocarbon dating, an archeologist can calculate the age of an object by measuring the amount of C-14 left in it. (B) , radiocarbon dating is only accurate for dating objects that are no more than about 50,000 years old. Another method - thermoluminescence dating - enables archaeologists to make relatively precise measurements back to 200,000 years, by measuring the light given off by electrons trapped in the soil surrounding fossils. (A) (B) ① Likewise …… However ② Likewise …… Thus ③ However …… Otherwise ④ However …… Similarly 【문 4】밑줄 친 어휘 중, 문맥상 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것은? The insults of childhood and adolescence leave us tender in certain areas. Though we may appear tough and ①indifferent, in fact, we are quite vulnerable. When words or actions are reminiscent of wounding episodes, they awaken strong reactions. You may be ② unconscious exactly why a particular action provokes such a strong reaction, but a little introspection may reveal the reason. If you have been a victim of exclusion, you are alert now to its possibility. If you have been called stupid or clumsy, you are ③insensitive to slights on the score of intelligence and physical grace. Some of the damage has been ④self-inflicted, comparing yourself to others who you think are more popular, beautiful, or accomplished. 【문 5】다음 글의 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은? In most cases, anger is characterized by ________________. In a study, participants in a conflict were asked to provide narratives about their anger experiences. Angry people nearly always insisted that the other person's behavior was wrong, while their own was justified. They described the offenders' actions as unreasonable, arbitrary, and selfish. The offenders did not see their actions in this way at all, and offered reasonable explanations of their motivation and behavior. Descriptions of the incidents were entirely different. The individuals who had been angered described the incidents in long-term contexts, not allowing for circumstances. The offenders held a much more favorable view toward things. Although acknowledging that they had done wrong, the offenders minimized the severity of the incidents. ① a prior bad experience ② a physical or emotional pain ③ a low tolerance for frustration ④ a gap in individual understanding 【문 6】주어진 문장이 들어가기에 적절한 곳은? For example, U.S. development of cheap and efficient solar power will not limit China's use of this resource; moreover. China would likely improve the technology, thus offering benefits to other users. Global climatic stability and ecological resilience are global public goods that require cooperative global solutions, whereas fossil fuels are market goods that promote competition and resource struggles. ① The transition to sustainability demands new energy sources that are "non-rival," such as energy from the sun and wind. ② Unfortunately, international trade institutions such as the World Trade Organization give priority to private, market goods and services at the expense of public goods. ③ Countries that cannot afford renewable energy technologies will continue to burn coal, preventing the new technologies from helping to address climate change. ④ Open access to information about renewable energy technologies is needed to solve this problem.

【문 7】다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. Pollen is the male germ seed of flowering plants. A fine powder that plants need to make seeds, it is gathered by bees in the process of collecting nectar for honey and harvested by pollen collectors as the bees fly back into the hive. Not only does it contain all the water-soluble vitamins, but it offers a rich supply of minerals, trace elements and enzymes as well as hormonal substances beneficial to human beings. As such it is probably the perfect 'skin food.' A thrice daily dose of raw pollen can do wonders for ailing skin - whether the problem is acne, excessive dryness or hypersensitivity. It can also improve the look and feel of normal healthy skin. But pollen's ____________________ don't stop here. It has been a favorite of Olympic athletes since ancient times and still is. Those who use it claim it increases strength and endurance, improves performance and helps prevent minor infections. ① health-promoting properties ② great reproductive abilities ③ allergy-causing substances ④ insect-attracting chemicals 【문 8】Robert Goddard에 관한 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은? The man who launched the first rocket on March 16, 1926, was Robert Goddard. He had long dreamed of sending a rocket into space. The flight of this rocket, while not outstanding in distance, did prove that his ideas about rocket flight were correct. It reached a height of 184 feet. By 1935, his rockets reached a height of 7,500 feet and speeds of over 700 miles per hour. Goddard also launched the first instrumented rocket in 1929. The instruments in this rocket were a barometer and a thermometer with a small camera set to record their reaching. In the early days of Goddard's experiments, he was laughed at and called "moon man." In spite of the problems he faced, Dr. Goddard continued his work until his death in 1945. His work has earned him another name today. This named is said in praise of what he did. He is called "the father of modern rockets." ① 1929년 최초의 도구가 실린 로켓을 발사했다. ② 1935년 7,500 피트의 높이로 로켓을 발사했다. ③ 실험을 시작하면서 '현대 로켓의 아버지'라고 불렸다. ④ 로켓 비행에 관한 자신의 생각이 옳았음을 입증했다. 【문 9】주어진 글 다음에 이어질 글의 순서로 가장 적절한 것은? Nowadays there are many kinds of mass media. The electronic media – television and radio – have more problems than the press when it comes to news reporting among them. First, a normal broadcast covers only a small part of news a day. (A) It's because its object is to transmit the gist of a story without supplying its background. Another problem of electronic news broadcasting is its transient nature. (B) Nevertheless, since radio and television present news in a terse way, they are accepted by most people as the most convincing presentation of news above newspapers. (C) Due to this transient nature, once information is provided, it will never be repeated again. Therefore the viewer or listener may miss an important story if his attention wanders. ① (A) - (B) - (C) ② (A) - (C) - (B) ③ (B) - (A) - (C) ④ (C) - (A) - (B) 【문 10】다음 글의 내용을 한 문장으로 요약하고자 한다. 빈칸 (A)와 (B)에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은? To describe what happens to common resources as a result of human greed, Garrett Hardin used the example of an area of pasture on which all the cattle-owners are permitted to graze their animals free of charge. Seeking to maximize his gain, each cattle-owner considers the advantage and disadvantage of adding one more animal to the herd. The advantage is that the cattle-owner receives the whole of the profit from the sale of the additional animal. The disadvantage is that the extra grazing contributes to the deterioration of the pasture. However, the disadvantage is shared among all the cattle-owners using the pasture, so the individual owner suffers only a fraction of the disadvantage. Consequently, the advantage is bound to exceed the disadvantage. So it is inevitable that more and more animals will be brought onto the pasture until overgrazing totally destroys the pasture. Garrett Hardin suggests that when a resource is (A) to all, (B) will inevitably destroy it. (A) (B) ① available free overuse ② absolutely indispensable overuse ③ distributed equally inefficiency ④ totally inaccessible inefficiency 【문 11】다음 글에서 전체의 흐름과 관계 없는 문장은? The term dark side of the Moon really should be used to mean the night side ─ that is, the side facing away from the Sun. Unfortunately, dark side traditionally meant what would better be called the far side ─ the face that can never be seen from the Earth. ① Many people still refer to the far side as the "dark side," even though this side is not necessarily dark. ② For example, during new moon the far side faces the Sun and hence is completely sunlit. ③ The full moon appears larger when it is closer to the Earth and smaller when it is farther away. ④ The only time the far side is completely dark is at the full moon, when it faces away from both the Sun and the Earth.
