1. 밑줄 친 Hardship will be the greatest teacher we will ever have in life가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [23번]

We often try to make cuts in our challenges and take the easy route. When taking the quick exit, we fail to acquire the strength to compete. We often take the easy route to improve our skills. Many of us never really work to achieve mastery in the key areas of life. These skills are key tools that can be useful to our career, health, and prosperity. Highly successful athletes don’t win because of better equipment; they win by facing hardship to gain strength and skill. They win through preparation. It’s the mental preparation, winning mindset, strategy, and skill that set them apart. Strength comes from struggle, not from taking the path of least resistance. Hardship will be the greatest teacher we will ever have in life.

① natural talent is more important than effort

② achieving success without effort is possible

③ avoiding difficulties leads to strength

④ learning from challenges is invaluable 

⑤ external factors determine our success

2. 밑줄 친 acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [24번]

Your behaviors are usually a reflection of your identity. What you do is an indication of the type of person you believe that you are ― either consciously or nonconsciously. Research has shown that once a person believes in a particular aspect of their identity, they are more likely to act according to that belief. For example, people who identified as “being a voter” were more likely to vote than those who simply claimed “voting” was an action they wanted to perform. Similarly, the person who accepts exercise as the part of their identity doesn’t have to convince themselves to train. Doing the right thing is easy. After all, when your behavior and your identity perfectly match, you are no longer pursuing behavior change. You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be.

① behaving in a manner consistent with your self-perception

② striving to adopt new habits and behaviors

③ ignoring societal expectations and norms

④ attempting to change your personality and identity

⑤ performing actions without any personal motivation

3. 밑줄 친 as “natural” to human beings 가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [29번]

The hunter-gatherer lifestyle, which can be described as “natural” to human beings, appears to have had much to recommend it. Examination of human remains from early hunter-gatherer societies has suggested that our ancestors enjoyed abundant food, obtainable without excessive effort, and suffered very few diseases. If this is true, it is not clear why so many humans settled in permanent villages and developed agriculture, growing crops and domesticating animals: cultivating fields was hard work, and it was in farming villages that epidemic diseases first took root. Whatever its immediate effect on the lives of humans, the development of settlements and agriculture undoubtedly led to a high increase in population density. This period, known as the New Stone Age, was a major turning point in human development, opening the way to the growth of the first towns and cities, and eventually leading to settled “civilizations.”

① modern and progressive

② beneficial to human health

③ instinctive and suitable for humans 

④ learned and cultural

⑤ challenging and labor-intensive

4. 밑줄 친 that lovely poem that didn’t get written because someone knocked on the door가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [31번]

The costs of interruptions are well­-documented. Martin Luther King Jr. lamented them when he described “that lovely poem that didn’t get written because someone knocked on the door.” Perhaps the most famous literary example happened in 1797 when Samuel Taylor Coleridge started writing his poem Kubla Khan from a dream he had but then was visited by an unexpected guest. For Coleridge, by coincidence, the untimely visitor came at a particularly bad time. He forgot his inspiration and left the work unfinished. While there are many documented cases of sudden disruptions that have had significant consequences for professionals in critical roles such as doctors, nurses, control room operators, stock traders, and pilots, they also impact most of us in our everyday lives, slowing down work productivity and generally increasing stress levels.

① social interactions are essential for creativity

② unexpected guests can be a source of inspiration

③ writing poetry is often an unpredictable activity

④ knocking on doors is considered disruptive

⑤ distractions can hinder creative processes

5. 밑줄 친 You and I are the descendants of the winners가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [33번]

How did the human mind evolve? One possibility is that competition and conflicts with other human tribes caused our brains to evolve the way they did. A human tribe that could out-think its enemies, even slightly, possessed a vital advantage. The ability of your tribe to imagine and predict where and when a hostile enemy tribe might strike, and plan accordingly, gives your tribe a significant military advantage. The human mind became a weapon in the struggle for survival, a weapon far more decisive than any before it. And this mental advantage was applied, over and over, within each succeeding generation. The tribe that could out-think its opponents was more likely to succeed in battle and would then pass on the genes responsible for this mental advantage to its offspring. You and I are the descendants of the winners.

① we are biologically predisposed to avoid conflicts

② we inherit the mental traits of successful ancestors 

③ we must continue to out-think our enemies

④ we are naturally inclined to be peaceful and cooperative

⑤ we inherit the physical strength of our ancestors

6. 밑줄 친 most data centers’ energy source is fossil fuels가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [36번]

As businesses shift some core business activities to digital, such as sales, marketing, or archiving, it is assumed that the impact on the environment will be less negative. However, digital business activities can still threaten the environment. In some cases, the harm of digital businesses can be even more hazardous. A few decades ago, offices used to have much more paper waste since all documents were paper-based. When workplaces shifted from paper to digital documents, invoices, and emails, it was a promising step to save trees. However, the cost of the Internet and electricity for the environment is neglected. A recent Wired report declared that most data centers’ energy source is fossil fuels. When we store bigger data on clouds, increased carbon emissions make our green clouds gray. The carbon footprint of an email is smaller than mail sent via a post office, but still, it causes four grams of CO₂, and it can be as much as 50 grams if the attachment is big.

① renewable energy sources are now widely used in data centers

② most data centers are transitioning to renewable energy sources

③ the shift to digital documents has significantly reduced energy consumption

④ data centers are minimizing their carbon footprint through energy efficiency

⑤ the primary energy source for data centers contributes to environmental harm

7. 밑줄 친 Growing crops forced people to stay in one place가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [37번]

Growing crops forced people to stay in one place. Hunter-gatherers typically moved around frequently, and they had to be able to carry all their possessions with them every time they moved. In particular, mothers had to carry their young children. As a result, hunter-gatherer mothers could have only one baby every four years or so, spacing their births so that they never had to carry more than one child at a time. Farmers, on the other hand, could live in the same place year after year and did not have to worry about transporting young children long distances. Societies that settled down in one place were able to shorten their birth intervals from four years to about two. This meant that each woman could have more children than her hunter-gatherer counterpart, which in turn resulted in rapid population growth among farming communities. An increased population was actually an advantage to agricultural societies, because farming required large amounts of human labor.

① agricultural societies faced challenges in raising children

② the need to move frequently was eliminated by farming

③ farmers had fewer children compared to hunter-gatherers

④ the development of agriculture led to permanent settlements 

⑤ hunter-gatherers preferred a sedentary lifestyle over farming

8. 밑줄 친 must rely more fully on hardware, and therefore be less flexible가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [39번]

Spending time as children allows animals to learn about their environment. Without childhood, animals must rely more fully on hardware, and therefore be less flexible. Among migratory bird species, those that are born knowing how, when, and where to migrate — those that are migrating entirely with instructions they were born with — sometimes have very inefficient migration routes. These birds, born knowing how to migrate, don’t adapt easily. So when lakes dry up, forest becomes farmland, or climate change pushes breeding grounds farther north, those birds that are born knowing how to migrate keep flying by the old rules and maps. By comparison, birds with the longest childhoods, and those that migrate with their parents, tend to have the most efficient migration routes. Childhood facilitates the passing on of cultural information, and culture can evolve faster than genes. Childhood gives flexibility in a changing world.

① developing habits through experience hinders change

② relying on technology reduces efficiency

③ using inherited knowledge increases flexibility

④ learning from parents restricts growth

⑤ depending on innate instincts limits adaptability

9. 밑줄 친 many of the otherwise most valuable digital resources are useless가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은?

Over the last several decades, scholars have developed standards for how best to create, organize, present, and preserve digital information for future generations. What has remained neglected for the most part, however, are the needs of people with disabilities. As a result, many of the otherwise most valuable digital resources are useless for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as for people who are blind, have low vision, or have difficulty distinguishing particular colors. While professionals working in educational technology and commercial web design have made significant progress in meeting the needs of such users, some scholars creating digital projects all too often fail to take these needs into account. This situation would be much improved if more projects embraced the idea that we should always keep the largest possible audience in mind as we make design decisions, ensuring that our final product serves the needs of those with disabilities as well as those without.

① many digital tools are outdated and ineffective

② digital resources are often too expensive for general use

③ valuable digital resources are inaccessible to some users 

④ most digital content lacks educational value

⑤ digital projects should focus on advanced users
