[문제] 1 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것은?

In American colleges, one student out of two still recently believed that ‘cavemen’ had to defend themselves against dinosaurs. Prehistorians often deplore the ignorance of the public, and express their surprise that even those who seem interested in the past are inclined to ① accept the most unsound ideas. Yet the struggle of humans against dinosaurs could be considered a kind of knowledge — one that is erroneous — rather than simply the manifestation of ignorance. An erroneous idea does not become less ② absurd merely for being shared by half the population; it becomes nevertheless interesting as a social phenomenon. In fact, the image of the caveman fighting dinosaurs is not entirely devoid of factual elements: nobody will ③ deny [that the dinosaurs really existed], just as prehistoric humans did. On the other hand, the origin of the deep-seated conviction [that our ancestors shared the Earth with the dinosaurs] remains ④ evident, because human remains have never been found in the same geological formations as dinosaur bones, and no scholar has risked suggesting that our ancestors lived alongside these giant reptiles. It was non-experts, rather than scientists, who forged this idea, thus leaving us an excellent illustration of ⑤ ordinary thinking at work.

* deplore: (특히 공개적으로) 개탄하다 ** devoid of: ~이 없는 *** forge: 꾸며내다

 

Content of the text: 공룡과의 공존에 대한 생각

 

Tip for finding answers: nobody will ③ deny that the dinosaurs really existed, just as prehistoric humans did. On the other hand, the origin of the deep-seated conviction that our ancestors shared the Earth with the dinosaurs remains ④ evident 어느 누구도 공룡이 존재했다는 것을 부인하지는 않는다. 반면에, 우리 조상이 공룡과 지구를 공유했다는 뿌리 깊은 확신의 기원은 모호하다로 obscure로 바꾸어야 한다.

 

 

[문제] 2 글의 흐름으로 보아, 주어진 문장이 들어가기에 가장 적절한 곳은?

But the most significant stage in their development was [when they began to be used to represent not simply ideas but also sounds].

 

Writing as we know it today was not a single technology stemming from a single invention. It’s a combination of various innovations which took place over a long period, with differing effects in different parts of the world. But the stages of evolution it went through are very similar in all the different places. The earliest incarnations of all these writing systems were pictographic. ( ① ) They consisted of simplified drawings acting as stylised representations of concrete entities: a house, a river, a drawing of the head of a cow to represent a cow. ( ② ) As their use spread, so they began to accumulate broader meanings based on the context of this use and to be combined together to create ideograms. ( ③ ) Bird+egg, for example, represented fertility. ( ④ ) [Once this happened], writing could imitate spoken language rather than operating as a separate, parallel system of communication. ( ⑤ ) It was this transition which led to the fully flexible systems we have today.

* incarnation: 구체화한 것 ** entity: 독립체

*** ideogram: 표의문자(글자가 언어의 음과 상관없이 일정한 뜻을 나타내는 문자)

 

Content of the text: Writing은 하나의 발명에서 비롯딘 단일 기술이 아니었다. 표기 체계의 발전과 소리의 표현

 

Tip for finding answers: 함께 결합되어 -> 예를 들어 새+알 -> 이 발전에서 가장 중요한 단게 -> 일단 이런 일이 일어나면 표기는 모방할 수 있었다의 흐름을 생각하면 된다.

 

[문제] 3 다음 글의 내용을 한 문장으로 요약하고자 한다. 빈칸 (A), (B)에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?

People tend to overestimate [how harshly others will judge them]. This dynamic may apply to the case of help-seeking. Even a small request can make the help-seeker feel self-conscious, embarrassed, and guilty. In our research, we have found that the anxiety help-seekers experience over how their request will come across is surprising to potential helpers who do not know what all the fuss is about. In one study, we asked two samples of potential helpers (teaching assistants and peer advisors) to estimate the number of students who would seek their help during a single semester. The peer advisors overestimated by over 60%, and the teaching assistants by 20%, the number of students who would ask them for help. This prediction error emerged even though the peer advisors had been students themselves the prior year, and the majority of teaching assistants had worked as teaching assistants before (often for the same class). Nevertheless, their past experience as help-seekers offered no clues in predicting others’ future help-seeking behavior.

* fuss: 쓸데없는 걱정

↓

Potential helpers (A) predicted the number of help-seekers that would visit them because they failed to see that help-seeking behavior might make help-seekers feel (B) .

           (A)                                    (B)

① mistakenly       ……          included

② mistakenly       ……          uncomfortable

③ pessimistically ……          included

④ reliably            ……          special

⑤ reliably            ……         uncomfortable

[문제] 4 (A), (B), (C)의 각 네모 안에서 문맥에 맞는 낱말로 가장 적절한 것은?

The effective use of time is one of the ultimate ways to display authority, even when you don’t have it. [Whoever controls time] controls the situation in most instances. They will always remind anyone who wants to meet with them that their time is valuable. However, there may be situations where you will want to (A) maintain / reverse your use of tight time tactics. Let’s say you have agreed to meet with one of your peers to discuss a difficult situation that has developed between your two respective departments. You need more help from your peer than she needs from you to get things resolved, even though you’ve told her your time is (B) limited / unlimited . When she enters your office at the appointed hour, take your watch off ostentatiously, and place it face down on your desk. Say, “My time belongs to you for as long as you need it.” Watch the (C) cooperation / dissatisfaction level of your peer go up exponentially at the outset of your meeting. You’ll be able to get anything you want from her.

* ostentatiously: 보란 듯이 ** exponentially: 기하급수적으로

          (A)                (B)                         (C)

① maintain …… limited      ……    cooperation

② maintain …… unlimited  ……    dissatisfaction

③ reverse  …… limited       ……   cooperation

④ reverse  …… limited       ……   dissatisfaction

⑤ reverse  …… unlimited   ……   cooperation
