One very important childhood experience greatly influenced my life. I promised myself that someday when I grew up and made my own money, I would do the same thing for other people. By the time I was 25, I had created my own Christmas tradition. I would dress up like Santa Claus, go to the poorest neighborhoods, and knock on any door. When the door was opened, I said “Merry Christmas!” and handed some astonished child a beautifully wrapped gift. I always included a note explaining my Christmas experience as a child. It said, “All I ask in return is that you take good enough care of yourself so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.”

Sailors in the 1800s had a hard life. They found rare comfort in the simple songs that they sang aboard their ships. The songs are called sea shanties. Many of these songs have lasted through the years. Sea shanties were valuable friends to sailors, helping them work as a team. Some shanties broke up the boredom of long trips.

Suppose a company realizes that it is not achieving its goals or objectives effectively.

Asia has come of age. It seeks to do things in the Asian way. Throughout the continent, the voices of Asia are saying goodbye to Western control, politically, culturally, and economically.

다음 글에 나타난 필자의 심경으로 가장 적절한 것은?
Through the train window, I could see crops ripening in the fields and trees turning red and yellow. If this journey had taken place a week earlier, all this would have pleased my eyes. But now I could not enjoy it. Too many thoughts were running through my head. What had I done to Uncle Joe, the man who had raised me for twenty years? I felt ashamed for not having visited him for the last five years. I disappointed him, the man who loved me like a father. I wasn’t happy with myself, knowing that last week he spent his sixtieth birthday alone.

Reporter :   (A)  
Mr. Lee : When I was growing up, there wasn’t a lot to do in a small town. So I observed the people around me. I listened to their stories, and I saw universal truths in their simple lives. These have been the main subjects and themes of my work. I’m delighted to share all this with my readers.

Susan에 관한 설명 중, 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?
Susan’s smile is always big, showing off all her original teeth, which are still in good condition. She finds humor in the silliest things. When a dog plays in the yard, she laughs. If children make too much noise or throw a ball on her porch, she thinks they are wonderful. Only smiles, humor, and laughter. That is why the lines all over her face are so deep. But she would never think of covering them up with cream or makeup. Today is Susan’s 70th birthday and 30th wedding anniversary as well. My sister Susan is the happiest person I know.

다음 글에서 예로 든 손동작의 그림으로 가장 적절한 것은?
The essential role of hand gestures is to mark the points of emphasis in our speech. They are so much an important part of our speech that we sometimes use them even when we talk on the telephone. One of the popular hand gestures is the ‘Hand Purse,’ in which the tips of all five fingers are brought together until they touch in a circle. It is used when we want to express ourselves with great exactness.

Approaching Mr. Howard’s, I at first thought that the house was on fire. But as I turned the corner off the tree-lined street, I realized the whole house was shining with light. The people in dresses and suits blocked my view of the garden. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a drum, and the orchestra started to play. People brought drinks from the bar and gathered in groups. Some wanderers went from group to group, floating in and out, as if dancing to the music. The air was alive with chatter and laughter, which became easier minute by minute.

① festive

② calm

③ gloomy

④ frightening

⑤ humorous

다음 글 바로 뒤에 올 내용으로 가장 적절한 것은?
National galleries in Washington are maintained at public expense. This is considered necessary to present the best works of art to everyone free of charge. In fact, this right for great art has been an essential feature of a free nation. Some people, however, argue against this tradition. For one thing, they say that the cost of free galleries is so high that visitors should pay admission. Things not paid for, they also say, are never fully appreciated. They have a long list of other points that support their argument. These will be discussed below in detail.

① 예술품 무료 관람의 장점

② 서양의 자유 국가가 출현한 배경

③ 미술관 무료 입장의 반대 이유

④ 미술관 입장료 인하의 필요성

⑤ 미술관 전시품의 감상 요령

다음 글에서 공연 예술에 관하여 필자가 주장하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은?
This government has emphasized excellence in business. It recognizes that the economy must remain strong and is willing to provide whatever is needed in order to achieve this excellence. However, it hasn’t fully recognized the importance of the arts, especially the performing arts. The performing arts also desire excellence, but in order to achieve it, they need financial help. Without the government’s support, the performing arts cannot survive. This will affect other areas of culture, including film. If the government doesn’t support the performing arts, this country will lose much of the heart and soul of its people.

① 기업의 후원을 활성화하자.

② 해외 진출 기회를 모색하자.

Few people are aware that 1883 is an important year in the history of the Korean press. In that year the newspaper was first published in Korea in an effort to educate the people and bring necessary changes to the country. Three times a month it brought the readers news about the country and the rest of the world. A year later the newspaper was discontinued for a while due to a fire. It had to close in 1888 because of lack of money. In spite of its short life, it changed forever how people got their news in Korea.

I visit a family in Africa. The woman of the house tells me that she hopes to learn to read so that she can study a handbook on raising children. In Japan I am invited to the apartment of a young couple. Their daughter talks about her first-grade teacher. In Egypt I am aboard a houseboat on the Nile. The owner talks about a recent film. Don’t these topics strike a familiar note? My experience as a traveler has taught me that despite differences in dress, language, and living conditions, people all over the world are very much the same. [2점]

① We Are All Alike

② Asians and Africans

③ An Exciting Event

④ A Film of the Nile

소년에 관한 설명 중, 다음 글의 내용과 일치하는 것은?
A father took his son to the country to show him how poor people can be. They spent a weekend on the farm of a very poor family. After returning home from their trip, the father asked his son, “Did you see how poor people can be?” “Yes,” the son answered. “We have one dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool in the backyard, and they have a stream that has no end. We have imported lamps, and they have the stars.” When the little boy was finished, his father sat speechless. The trip had completely defeated the father’s purpose.

다음 글의 내용을 한 문장으로 요약하고자 한다. 빈칸 (A)와 (B)에 가장 적절한 것끼리 짝지은 것은? [2점]

People are often considered to be rude unintentionally. Absorbed in their own thoughts, people do not see the motions of someone trying to greet them. They may walk right by a friend without noticing him or her. Others indeed do not see―they are without their contact lenses or are quite nearsighted. It is important to take into consideration absent-mindedness or poor eyesight before believing that a friend is actually disregarding you. One friendship I know of was tense for months because a woman thought she was being ignored by a friend who simply was not wearing her glasses and couldn’t see beyond her nose.
*nearsighted : 근시안의

다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장은?
Some speakers frequently look at their watches while giving their speeches. ① They probably do this because they don’t want to go over the time they are allowed. ② However, it is proven that when a speaker glances at his watch, many in the audience do the same thing. ③ This becomes an interruption because the audience is not fully focusing on the speech. ④ The audience often finds the speaker interesting and tries to listen more carefully to what he says. ⑤ So place your watch on the table in front of you or keep your eye on the clock in the back of the room.

I also learned that her name was Dorothy.

Our nursing professor gave us a quiz. ( ① ) I had easily answered all the questions until I read the last one : “What is the name of the woman who cleans the school?” ( ② ) I knew she was tall, short-haired, and in her fifties, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the question blank. ( ③ ) Collecting the papers, the professor said the last question would count. Then she added, “In your careers you will meet many people. All are significant. ( ④ ) They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.” I’ve never forgotten that lesson. ( ⑤ )

다음 글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

Those who cannot make a success in their business or profession are the ones whose concentration is poor. Many of those who have succeeded in life owe this to the fact that their concentration is good. If one is an artist, with the help of concentration one can produce wonderful works. If one is a scientist, one can achieve great results in science. If one is a poet, poetry will be easy to write. However qualified a person may be, he will not be able to make the best use of his qualifications without concentration. He can hardly be called qualified at all. [2점]

① the importance of concentration

② the freedom to choose a job

③ the role of concentration in art

④ ways to improve concentration

⑤ successful careers in business

Would a modern music composer be your first choice for a hero? Or would you think of the painter of a contemporary masterpiece? If you are like most people, the answer to both questions is “no.” More likely, a sports hero or a movie star would be your first choice. It seems that the worlds of contemporary art and music have failed to offer people works that reflect human achievements. People, therefore, have lost interest in modern arts and have turned to sports stars and other popular figures to find their role models.

① 대중 예술의 장점

② 예술과 스포츠의 관계

③ 현대 예술의 문제점

④ 고전 음악의 유래

⑤ 음악 교육의 활성화

다음 글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

In many countries around the world, narrow- mindedness, religious impatience, greed, and fear have turned into crises that have taken the lives of millions. Many struggles such as rich versus poor are fought under deeply held beliefs. But given the destructive results, do these beliefs make sense? How often, in fact, do we stop to think about what we believe? One of the major problems we face both as individuals and as a society is simplistic thinking―or the failure to think at all. It isn’t just a problem; perhaps, it is the problem.

① 종교적 신념은 국경을 초월한다.

② 국제 분쟁이 해소되고 있다.

③ 다양한 관점에서 사고할 필요가 있다.

④ 빈부의 차이는 사회적 갈등을 유발한다.

⑤ 개인과 사회는 불가분의 관계에 있다.

Have you ever hurt another person? If so, get in touch with the person you wronged, and ask for forgiveness in all sincerity. You must apologize for that hurt. Promise yourself now to carry it out immediately. Even after many years, it’s still possible to find people. If the person has died or really can’t be found, you can make a contribution in some way to help others who have suffered from similar acts. If your determination is firm, clear, and sincere, then you will be able to put that emotion and memory aside and find peace of mind.

① 자신이 세운 계획은 실천에 옮겨야 한다.

② 과거의 잘못에 대해 사죄해야 한다.

③ 자신에게 해를 끼친 사람을 용서해야 한다.

④ 자신의 감정을 남에게 보여서는 안된다.

⑤ 지역 사회 발전에 기여해야 한다.

다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.
(A)

Imagine that it’s Saturday and you are to meet your friends at the mall at 12 : 00. You’ve been busy all morning, and suddenly you notice it is 11 : 45. You hurry to get ready and then jump in the car. What route is probably the fastest? You know where the mall is, and you choose the best route based on what you know about the distance, the number of stop lights, and the amount of traffic. In short, you make observations and make your best guesses based on what you know and have observed.

(B)

True problem solving, however, goes beyond feelings. To solve a problem, you must look beyond how you feel and combine information that you already know with new observations. Then, on the basis of your knowledge of the situation, you can evaluate the problem and come up with the best way to solve it. An example will make this point clear.

(C)

Everyone makes decisions every day. What clothes should you wear? Should you go out tonight or stay home and study? Most of the decisions people make are based on what they feel will be the best solution. Feelings and judgments of how others feel toward you play a major role in how you choose to solve your day-to-day problems.

다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

Once a week, write a heartfelt letter. Taking a few minutes each week to do so does many things for you. (a) Picking up a pen slows you down long enough to remember the beautiful people in your life. The act of sitting down to write helps to fill your life with appreciation. Once you decide to try (b) this, you’ll probably be amazed at how many people appear on your list.
The purpose of your letter is very simple : to express love and gratitude. Don’t worry if you’re not good at (c) writing letters. If you can’t think of much to say, start with short little notes like, “Dear Jasmine, How lucky I am to have friends like you in my life! I am truly blessed, and I wish you all the happiness and joy that life can bring. Love, Richard.”
Not only does the act of writing a note like this focus (d) your attention on what’s right in your life, but the person receiving it will be touched and grateful. Often (e) this simple action starts a chain of loving actions whereby the person receiving your letter may decide to do the same thing to someone else, or perhaps will act and feel more loving toward others.
