My name is Anthony Thompson and I am writing on behalf of the residents’ association. Our recycling program has been working well thanks to your participation. However, a problem has recently occurred that needs your attention. Because there is no given day for recycling, residents are putting their recycling out at any time. This makes the recycling area messy, which requires extra labor and cost. To deal with this problem, the residents’ association has decided on a day to recycle. I would like to let you know that you can put out your recycling on Wednesdays only. I am sure it will make our apartment complex look much more pleasant. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

19. 다음 글에 드러난 ‘I’의 심경으로 가장 적절한 것은?

It was a day I was due to give a presentation at work, not something I’d do often. As I stood up to begin, I froze. A chilly ‘pins­and­needles’ feeling crept over me, starting in my hands. Time seemed to stand still as I struggled to start speaking, and I felt a pressure around my throat, as though my voice was trapped and couldn’t come out. Gazing around at the blur of faces, I realized they were all waiting for me to begin, but by now I knew I couldn’t continue. ① panicked    ② angry    ③ relieved    ④ grateful    ⑤ bored

No matter what your situation, whether you are an insider or an outsider, you need to become the voice that challenges yesterday’s answers. Think about the characteristics that make outsiders valuable to an organization. They are the people who have the perspective to see problems that the insiders are too close to really notice. They are the ones who have the freedom to point out these problems and criticize them without risking their job or their career. Part of adopting an outsider mentality is forcing yourself to look around your organization with this disassociated, less emotional perspective. If you didn’t know your coworkers and feel bonded to them by your shared experiences, what would you think of them? You may not have the job security or confidence to speak your mind to management, but you can make these “outsider” assessments of your organization on your own and use what you determine to advance your career.

21. 밑줄 친 training for a marathon이 다음 글에서 의미하는 바 로 가장 적절한 것은? [3점]

The known fact of contingencies, without knowing precisely what those contingencies will be, shows that disaster preparation is not the same thing as disaster rehearsal. No matter how many mock disasters are staged according to prior plans, the real disaster will never mirror any one of them. Disaster­preparation planning is more like training for a marathon than training for a high­jump competition or a sprinting event. Marathon runners do not practice by running the full course of twenty­six miles; rather, they get into shape by running shorter distances and building up their endurance with cross­training. If they have prepared successfully, then they are in optimal condition to run the marathon over its predetermined course and length, assuming a range of weather conditions, predicted or not. This is normal marathon preparation.

* contingency: 비상사태 ** mock: 모의의 *** cross­training: 여러 가지 운동을 조합하여 행하는 훈련법

 

① developing the potential to respond to a real disaster

② making a long­term recovery plan for a disaster

③ seeking cooperation among related organizations

④ saving basic disaster supplies for an emergency

⑤ testing a runner’s speed as often as possible

 

22. 다음 글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것은?

 

Fears of damaging ecosystems are based on the sound conservationist principle that we should aim to minimize the disruption we cause, but there is a risk that this principle may be confused with the old idea of a ‘balance of nature.’ This supposes a perfect order of nature that will seek to maintain itself and that we should not change. It is a romantic, not to say idyllic, notion, but deeply misleading because it supposes a static condition. Ecosystems are dynamic, and although some may endure, apparently unchanged, for periods that are long in comparison with the human lifespan, they must and do change eventually. Species come and go, climates change, plant and animal communities adapt to altered circumstances, and when examined in fine detail such adaptation and consequent change can be seen to be taking place constantly. The ‘balance of nature’ is a myth. Our planet is dynamic, and so are the arrangements by which its inhabitants live together.                                                * idyllic: 목가적인

23. 다음 글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것은?

Before the modern scientific era, creativity was attributed to a superhuman force; all novel ideas originated with the gods. After all, how could a person create something that did not exist before the divine act of creation? In fact, the Latin meaning of the verb “inspire” is “to breathe into,” reflecting the belief that creative inspiration was similar to the moment in creation when God first breathed life into man. Plato argued that the poet was possessed by divine inspiration, and Plotin wrote that art could only be beautiful if it descended from God. The artist’s job was not to imitate nature but rather to reveal the sacred and transcendent qualities of nature. Art could only be a pale imitation of the perfection of the world of ideas. Greek artists did not blindly imitate what they saw in reality; instead they tried to represent the pure, true forms underlying reality, resulting in a sort of compromise between abstraction and accuracy.                                                                                                    * transcendent: 초월적인

① conflicting views on the role of artists

② positive effects of imitation on creativity

③ contribution of art to sharing religious beliefs

④ gods as a source of creativity in the pre­modern era

 

⑤ collaboration between philosophy and art in ancient times

 

24. 다음 글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것은?

Some beginning researchers mistakenly believe that a good hypothesis is one that is guaranteed to be right (e.g., alcohol will slow down reaction time). However, if we already know your hypothesis is true before you test it, testing your hypothesis won’t tell us anything new. Remember, research is supposed to produce new knowledge. To get new knowledge, you, as a researcher­explorer, need to leave the safety of the shore (established facts) and venture into uncharted waters (as Einstein said, “If we knew what we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”). If your predictions about what will happen in these uncharted waters are wrong, that’s okay: Scientists are allowed to make mistakes (as Bates said, “Research is the process of going up alleys to see if they are blind”). Indeed, scientists often learn more from predictions that do not turn out than from those that do. * uncharted waters: 미개척 영역

① Researchers, Don’t Be Afraid to Be Wrong

② Hypotheses Are Different from Wild Guesses

③ Why Researchers Are Reluctant to Share Their Data

④ One Small Mistake Can Ruin Your Whole Research

⑤ Why Hard Facts Don’t Change Our Minds
