The roots of the trees provide channels down which the water flows, deep into the ground. The water flashing off the land suddenly disappeared when it reached the belts of trees the farmers had planted.

How to Fend Off A Shark Hit back. If a shark is coming toward you or attacks you, use anything you have in your possession—a camera, probe, harpoon gun, your fist—to hit the shark's eyes or gills, which are the areas most (A)[sensible/sensitive] to pain. Make quick, sharp, repeated jabs in these areas. Since sharks are predators and will usually only follow through on an attack if they have the advantage, making the shark (B)[sure/unsure] of its advantage in any way possible will increase your chances of survival. Contrary to popular opinion, the shark’s nose is not the area to attack, unless you cannot reach the eyes or gills.

Why don't I have a telephone? Not because I pretend to be wise or pose as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I don't really like the telephone, and because I find I can still work, play, eat, breathe and sleep without it. Why don't I like the telephone? Because I think it is a pest and a time-waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety as when you wait for an expected call that doesn't come; or irritating delay, as when you keep ringing a number that is always engaged. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you ________________ - when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. ① are the most alert ② are desperate for a call ③ admit the value of a telephone ④ least want it to ring 문 12. 아래 글의 저자가 주장하는 점은 무엇인가? Americans have paid $15 trillion in a noble but misguided effort to use government agencies and statist policies over the past 50 years. Yet, the poverty rate never fell below 10.5 percent and is now near 15.1 percent, Americans have lost 55 percent of their wealth in the past five years, and nearly 50 million Americans are struggling to make a living. Meanwhile, 126 agencies spending $1 trillion a year cannot seem to gain any ground. Statistics, however, fail to show the reality of the daily suffering endured by single mothers, working parents, and children in inner cities. Some serious flaws in the poverty rate’s calculation exist and are worth addressing. However, no one seriously doubts the prevalence or the destructive nature of poverty on both the national and international scale. For decades, progressive policies have trapped generations of Americans in poverty, bad schools and crime-ridden neighborhoods. ① It’s time for a better war on poverty. ② Economic statistics has been effective in political decision. ③ American government agencies have been successful in helping those who are in need. ④ Tax reform is necessary to mitigate the poverty. 문 13. 다음 글에서 추론할 수 있는 것은? In the 1980s, busybodies at the Center for Science in the Public Interest pushed the idea that America must replace traditional lard, butter, coconut and palm oil with saturated fats, margarine and shortening, all of which contained partially hydrogenated oils. The nutritionists scorned those substances, even though, as science author Gary Taubes observes, there’s no evidence of a causal link to the notion that more than the recommended consumption of saturated fats triggers death in anyone “not already at high risk of heart disease.” Some 30 years on, the scientific “consensus” has flipped, and saturated fats aren’t so terrible any more. We’re told that trans fats are the enemy of the arteries. Although the consumption of trans fats in the United States has been declining, the incidence of heart disease has not. ① There’s no need for the government to ban trans fats. ② Heart disease is mainly affected by diet. ③ Ridding artificial trans fats from America’s kitchens is necessary. ④ Government must make health decisions for people. 문 14. 다음 글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. Because women were not permitted to participate in theater productions in ancient Greece, male actors played female roles in dramatic productions. It was possible for actors to play a number of roles, male and female, due to the use of masks. This prevented audience members from identifying an actor’s face with one particular character in a play and served to eliminate the physical inconsistency of men pretending to be women. Specifically, masks with subtle modification allowed audience members to identify the gender, age, and social position of characters. They were also presented with special emotions, letting the audience know if a character was happy, sad, tired, or frightened. ① The Evolution of Theater Productions in Ancient Greece ② The Inconsistency of Mask Use and Its Criticisms in Greece ③ Why Women Couldn’t Act on Stage in Ancient Greece ④ Different Use of M asks that M ade Theater Available in Greece A형 8 쪽 문 15. 주어진 글 다음에 이어질 글의 순서로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. The majority of spider species are completely solitary creatures. They eat by themselves, create their own webs, and lay eggs before abandoning their offspring without providing any care. (A)Generations of spiders live and work together in a huge communal web, and with constant repairs, the meter-long nest can be maintained for several years. Consisting of a cluster of leaves and branches held together by silk, the webs will often reach up into the rain forest canopy. (B)However, in rain forests some spiders reside in colonies of up to 1,500 individuals. Adult spiders take care of young spiders and don't even distinguish between their own offspring and those of others. (C)The reason for collaboration among this unusual social group is that in the rain forest, webs often get destroyed by rain or the movements of large creatures. By working together, the spiders save energy as they fix damage caused by web-ripping storms and various animals. ① (A)-(B)-(C) ② (B)-(A)-(C) ③ (C)-(A)-(B) ④ (C)-(B)-(A) 문 16. 다음 밑줄 친 구의 해석을 보고, 순서를 알맞게 배열한 것으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

Coconuts are said to be used in India to catch monkeys. People take a coconut and make a little hole just big enough for a monkey to put its paw through. And inside the coconut, which is nailed to a tree, they put something sweet. So the monkey smells something nice inside, and puts his hand in. He catches hold of the sweet inside, so now he has a fist. But the hole is too small for the fist to get out. When the hunters come back, the monkey's caught. But of course, all the monkey has to do is let go. Nobody's holding the monkey except . ① the arbitrary selection out of affection ② the monkey's grasping greedy mind ③ the internal satisfaction of its cleverness ④ the temporary paralysis from the substance 문 18. 다음 글의 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. We are what we eat. The diet of the animals we eat has a connection with the nutritional quality of our food itself. This should be self-evident, yet it is a truth often by the food industry in its desire to produce vast quantities of cheap animal protein. That greed has changed the diet of most of our food animals from plants to seeds, because animals grow faster and produce more milk on a high-energy diet of grain. But some of our food animals are ruminants that evolved to eat grass. If they eat too many seeds, they become sick. Therefore, do not force them to eat against their natural preference. *ruminants 반추동물 ① overlooked ② overdrawn ③ overpriced ④ overseen A형 9 쪽 문 19. 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은? Dear Mr. Jones, I have been researching our choices for internet providers over the past week, and I wanted to update you on my progress. We have two options: H.C. Cable and Toll South. Both offer business plans, and I will go over the pricing of each plan at the meeting on Tuesday. Both of the options I listed have comparable speed and data usage offerings as well. I called your personal provider, GoGo Satellite, but they did not have any business offerings. They primarily do residential internet service. I will talk with Joe and Susan in IT about these options and get their suggestions. I will also send out meeting requests to everyone, including Mr. Morris in operations. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please let me know. Respectfully, Tina McAden ① 가격에 대해서는 화요일 회의에서 점검할 예정이다. ② H.C. Cable과 Toll South는 비슷한 서비스를 제공 한다. ③ 필자는 GoGo Satellite의 가정용 서비스를 이용하고 있다. ④ 필자는 IT 팀의 동료들에게 의견을 물어볼 예정이다. 문 20. 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장을 고르시오. Our answer to the "How am I doing?" question depends on our own past experiences, aspirations, and expectations. ①However, the question is virtually never asked or answered in a social vacuum. ②"How am I doing?" almost always carries "compared to others" in parentheses. ③Social comparison provides an objective standard of one's actions and therefore can criticize task-oriented people. ④Many experiences are ambiguous enough that we are not completely sure what to make of them. Is a B+ a good grade on an exam? It is possible to derive approximate answer to question like this, but the approximate answer is not good enough without looking around others.
