Choose the most relevant picture for the given passage. Hummingbirds can be found in a wide variety of environments in the New World, from the high Andes to lowlands, and from dry desert areas to the rain forests. In all these environments, their source of nutrition is primarily nectar from flowers. Blossom shape can be a determining factor to flowers that are visited by hummingbirds. Nectar contained in a long, tubular blossom is easily extracted by a hummingbird, whose tongue can extend a distance equal to its beak length and reach where most insects cannot. So, downward-hanging blossoms even with no "landing" platform are very attractive to hummingbirds. Below is an inflorescence of Lonicera sempervirens (Trumpet Honeysuckle), a hummingbird favorite, and illustrative of a blossom that displays all desirable characteristics. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ※ Read the passage below and answer the question.

But the longer the time span, the harder the absorption is to predict. Some companies say they invest not just in planting trees, but also insuring they thrive. But others may not be so diligent and disease, fire and logging can all shorten a tree's life. 문 16. What kind of natural process is best implied in the word (A)? ① to accelerate the pace of global warming. ② to aggravate the quality of the atmosphere ③ to trigger the onset of photosynthesis ④ to prompt the surge of CO2 ⑤ to revive the mechanism of symbiosis 2007년도 제5회 8급 공개경쟁채용시험 영 어 책형 가 - 8 - ※ Read the passage below and anwser the questions.

Where is the most appropriate spot for the following sentence? Yet people often have attitudes toward previously unencountered individuals or objects. Although most of us have a sense of what an attitude is, defining it in objective terms has been surprisingly difficult. [A] One common definition was developed by G. Allport(1935). [B] He proposed that an attitude is a mental and neural state of readiness, organized through experience, exerting a directive or dynamic influence upon the individual's response to all objects and situations with which it is related. [C] Despite the apparent usefulness of such a definition, it actually incorporates a number of assumptions about attitudes, not all of which are accurate.

But the relationship between attitudes and behavior can sometimes be weak. ① [A] ② [B] ③ [C] ④ [D] ⑤ [E] 2007년도 제5회 8급 공개경쟁채용시험 영 어 책형 가 - 9 - ※ Read the passage below and answer the questions. (22～23) Korean lawmakers and government officials yesterday expressed support for legislation to put an interest rate ceiling on local money lenders, a restriction abolished in 1998. The move comes as more Koreans, due to spotty credit, borrow from private money lenders who may charge interest rates of nearly 200 percent a year. But critics say that reviving the legislation, which would deal a blow to many private lenders, would also make it more difficult for those with poor credit to find alternate lending sources. The National Assembly’s Legislation and Judiciary Committee yesterday passed legislation to put an interest rate ceiling of 40 percent a year on local private lenders. The restriction, established in 1962, was abolished in January 1998 when Korea’s economy, battered in the wake of the Asian currency crisis, was put under the supervision of the International Monetary Fund. The international organization maintained ultra-high interest rates in Korea to woo foreign investments back and liquidate financially unhealthy companies of enormous debts. As Korea has extricated itself from the fallout of the economic meltdown, a growing number of government officials and civic groups argue that now is the time to revive the old rule. 문 22. According to the passage, which of the following is stated or implied? ① The restriction on the interest rate started in January 1998. ② Korea is still suffering from the economic crisis that began around in 1997. ③ The IMF considered that low interest rates would not attract foreign investments. ④ The legislation puts an interest rate ceiling of 200 percent a year on local money lenders. ⑤ The legislation will make it easier for those with poor credit to borrow money from major banks. 문 23. Choose the answer that is closest in meaning to the underlined liquidate. ① to seize something by legal writ ② to close something down and sell all its assets ③ to prevent something from being harmed or damaged ④ to improve the value, quality, or attractiveness of something ⑤ to use something as a guarantee to a company in order to borrow money from them ※ Read the passage below and answer the questions. (24～25) The weakness of modern religion is its obsession with sin, G.K. Chesterton once observed. “A modern morality,” he wrote, “can only point with absolute conviction to the horrors that follow breaches of the law.” And so it has been with the religious conservatives who have overwhelmed the latter-day Republican Party. For preachers like Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and Pat Robertson, the prospect of hell has always been far more vivid than the possibility of heaven. Presidential candidates like Robertson, Pat Buchanan and Gary Bauer have loaded up on the “Thou Shalt Nots” and rarely, if ever, mentioned the grace and serenity that come from doing “for the least of these.” 문 24. According to the passage, what have the religious conservatives mainly emphasized in their discourse? ① Prospect of heaven ② Breaches of the law ③ Making a lenient law ④ Exorbitant condemnation ⑤ Excessive conviction in God's power 문 25. Which of the following idea would come after the passage? ① A tricky road to hell ② A better way to evade sin ③ The end of religious conviction ④ A truth-telling role of religion in modern society ⑤ The importance of grace in modern religion and politics
