I came to see these documents as relics of a sensibility now dead and buried, which needed to be excavated.

exhumed

packed

erased

celebrated

밑줄 친 "excavated"(발굴된)와 의미가 가장 가까운 것은 "exhumed"(발굴된, 파낸)이다.
"relics of a sensibility now dead and buried"(이제 죽어 묻혀 버린 감수성의 유물)라는 비유에 이어지므로, 묻힌 것을 파내야 한다는 뜻이다.
"packed"(채워 넣은)는 파낸다는 의미가 아니다.
"erased"(지워진)는 오히려 반대 방향의 의미다.
"celebrated"(기념된, 유명한)는 문맥과 맞지 않는다.

밑줄 친 부분의 의미와 가장 가까운 것을 고르시오.
Riding a roller coaster can be a joy ride of emotions: the nervous anticipation as you're strapped into your seat, the questioning and regret that comes as you go up, up, up, and the sheer adrenaline rush as the car takes that first dive.

utter

scary

occasional

manageable

밑줄 친 "sheer"(순전한, 완전한)와 의미가 가장 가까운 것은 "utter"(완전한, 순전한)이다.
"the sheer adrenaline rush as the car takes that first dive"는 첫 낙하 때 밀려오는 순수한 아드레날린의 분출을 강조하는 표현이다.
"scary"(무서운)는 정도를 강조하는 뜻이 아니다.
"occasional"(가끔의)은 문맥과 맞지 않는다.
"manageable"(감당할 만한)은 강렬함을 강조하는 문맥과 반대된다.

두 사람의 대화 중 가장 어색한 것은?

A:Hello. Sorry I missed your call. 
 B:Would you like to leave a message?

A:Are you going to take a vacation this winter? 
 B:I might. I haven’t decided yet.

A:I called you several times. Why didn’t you answer? 
 B:Oh, I think my cell phone was turned off.

A:What time are we having lunch? 
 B:It’ll be ready before noon.

가장 어색한 대화는 "Sorry I missed your call."에 "Would you like to leave a message?"로 답한 것이다.
A는 전화를 못 받은 것을 사과하며 다시 연락한 사람인데, B가 "Would you like to leave a message?"(메시지를 남기시겠어요?)라고 하는 것은 전화를 대신 받은 사람이 하는 말이라 흐름이 맞지 않는다.
"Are you going to take a vacation this winter?"(이번 겨울에 휴가 갈 거니?)에 "I might. I haven’t decided yet."(아마도. 아직 안 정했어.)은 자연스럽다.
"Why didn’t you answer?"(왜 안 받았어?)에 "my cell phone was turned off"(휴대전화가 꺼져 있었어)는 이유 설명으로 자연스럽다.
"What time are we having lunch?"(점심 몇 시에 먹어?)에 "It’ll be ready before noon."(정오 전에 준비될 거야.)은 시간을 알려 주는 적절한 응답이다.

밑줄 친 부분에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?
A: Hello. I need to exchange some money.
B: Okay. What currency do you need?
A: I need to convert dollars into pounds. What's the exchange rate?
B: The exchange rate is 0.73 pounds for every dollar.
A: Fine. Do you take a commission?
B: Yes, we take a small commission of 4 dollars.
A: ______________?
B: We convert your currency back for free. Just bring your receipt with you.

How much does this cost

How should I pay for that

What’s your buy-back policy

Do you take credit cards

빈칸에는 "What's your buy-back policy"(재환전 방침은 어떻게 되나요)가 들어가야 한다.
B가 "We convert your currency back for free"(통화를 무료로 다시 바꿔 드린다)라고 답하므로, 재환전에 관한 질문이 와야 한다.
"How much does this cost"(비용이 얼마인가)는 이미 수수료 4달러를 안내받은 뒤라 어색하다.
"How should I pay for that"(어떻게 지불하나)는 재환전 답변과 이어지지 않는다.
"Do you take credit cards"(신용카드를 받나)도 무료 재환전이라는 답과 맞지 않는다.

밑줄 친 부분 중 어법상 옳지 않은 것은?
Each year, more than 270,000 pedestrians ①lose their lives on the world's roads. Many leave their homes as they would on any given day never ②to return. Globally, pedestrians constitute 22% of all road traffic fatalities, and in some countries this proportion is ③as high as two thirds of all road traffic deaths. Millions of pedestrians are non-fatally ④injuring — some of whom are left with permanent disabilities. These incidents cause much suffering and grief as well as economic hardship.

어법상 옳지 않은 것은 "injuring"으로, 수동태 "injured"로 고쳐야 한다.
주어 "Millions of pedestrians"는 다치게 하는 쪽이 아니라 부상을 당하는 쪽이므로 "are non-fatally injured"(치명적이지 않은 부상을 입는다)가 맞다.
"lose"는 복수 주어 "more than 270,000 pedestrians"와 수일치한 현재형으로 옳다.
"never to return"은 결과를 나타내는 to부정사(결국 돌아오지 못하다)로 옳다.
"as high as"는 '~만큼이나 높은'이라는 원급 비교 표현으로 옳다.

어법상 옳은 것은?

Burning fossil fuels is one of the lead cause of climate change.

Another way to speed up the process would be made the shift to a new system.

The investigation had to be handled with the utmost care lest suspicion be aroused.

The paper charged her with use the company’s money for her own purposes.

어법상 옳은 문장은 lest suspicion be aroused가 쓰인 문장이다.
"lest + 주어 + (should) 동사원형"(~하지 않도록) 구문에서 should가 생략되어 동사원형 be가 온 형태로, 의심이 "일으켜지는" 것이므로 수동태 be aroused도 맞다.
"one of the lead cause"는 one of + 복수명사 규칙과 형용사 선택 오류로, "one of the leading causes"(주요 원인 중 하나)가 되어야 한다.
"would be made the shift"는 be동사 보어 자리의 to부정사 규칙 위반으로, 주어 Another way(또 다른 방법)의 내용이 "전환을 하는 것"이므로 수동태 be made가 아니라 to부정사 보어를 써서 "would be to make the shift"가 되어야 한다.
"charged her with use"는 전치사 뒤 동명사 규칙 위반으로, "charge A with B"(A를 B로 고발하다)의 with 뒤에는 "using"이 와야 한다.

There is a thought that can haunt us: since everything probably affects everything else, how can we ever make sense of the social world? If we are weighed down by that worry, though, we won't ever make progress.

(A) Every discipline that I am familiar with draws caricatures of the world in order to make sense of it. The modern economist does this by building models, which are deliberately stripped down representations of the phenomena out there.
(B) The economist John Maynard Keynes described our subject thus: "Economics is a science of thinking in terms of models joined to the art of choosing models which are relevant to the contemporary world."
(C) When I say "stripped down," I really mean stripped down. It isn't uncommon among us economists to focus on one or two causal factors, exclude everything else, hoping that this will enable us to understand how just those aspects of reality work and interact.

(A) － (B) － (C)

(A) － (C) － (B)

(B) － (C) － (A)

(B) － (A) － (C)

글의 순서는 (A) － (C) － (B)가 가장 적절하다.
주어진 글의 "how can we ever make sense of the social world?"(사회 세계를 어떻게 이해하나)에 대해 (A)가 경제학자는 "models", 즉 "deliberately stripped down representations"(의도적으로 단순화한 표현)를 만든다고 답한다.
(C)는 "When I say 'stripped down,'"으로 (A)의 표현을 받아 부연하고, (B)는 모델을 고르는 기술이라는 Keynes의 정의로 논의를 정리한다.
(B)로 시작하면 "our subject"와 모델 개념이 소개되지 않은 상태라 연결이 어색하다.
(C)를 (A)보다 앞에 두면 "stripped down"이 처음 나오기 전에 그 말을 인용하게 된다.

Prehistoric societies some half a million years ago did not distinguish sharply between mental and physical disorders. Abnormal behaviors, from simple headaches to convulsive attacks, were attributed to evil spirits that inhabited or controlled the afflicted person's body. According to historians, these ancient peoples attributed many forms of illness to demonic possession, sorcery, or the behest of an offended ancestral spirit. Within this system of belief, called demonology, the victim was usually held at least partly responsible for the misfortune. It has been suggested that Stone Age cave dwellers may have treated behavior disorders with a surgical method called trephining, in which part of the skull was chipped away to provide an opening through which the evil spirit could escape. People may have believed that when the evil spirit left, the person would return to his or her normal state. Surprisingly, trephined skulls have been found to have healed over, indicating that some patients survived this extremely crude operation.
※ convulsive: 경련의 ※ behest: 명령

Mental disorders were clearly differentiated from physical disorders.

Abnormal behaviors were believed to result from evil spirits affecting a person.

An opening was made in the skull for an evil spirit to enter a person’s body.

No cave dwellers survived trephining.

글의 내용과 일치하는 것은 "Abnormal behaviors were believed to result from evil spirits affecting a person."(이상 행동은 사람에게 영향을 미친 악령 때문이라고 여겨졌다)이다.
본문에 "Abnormal behaviors ... were attributed to evil spirits that inhabited or controlled the afflicted person's body"라고 나온다.

악령이 '들어오도록' 두개골에 구멍을 냈다는 진술은 악령이 "escape"(빠져나가도록) 했다는 본문과 반대다.
천공술에서 살아남은 혈거인이 없었다는 진술은 "some patients survived"와 어긋난다.

다음 글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것은?
As the digital revolution upends newsrooms across the country, here's my advice for all the reporters. I've been a reporter for more than 25 years, so I have lived through a half dozen technological life cycles. The most dramatic transformations have come in the last half dozen years. That means I am, with increasing frequency, making stuff up as I go along. Much of the time in the news business, we have no idea what we are doing. We show up in the morning and someone says, "Can you write a story about (pick one) tax policy/immigration/climate change?" When newspapers had once-a-day deadlines, we said a reporter would learn in the morning and teach at night — write a story that could inform tomorrow's readers on a topic the reporter knew nothing about 24 hours earlier. Now it is more like learning at the top of the hour and teaching at the bottom of the same hour. I'm also running a political podcast, for example, and during the presidential conventions, we should be able to use it to do real-time interviews anywhere. I am just increasingly working without a script.

"technology in politics"는 정치 팟캐스트가 예시로 언급될 뿐이다.
"a reporter as a teacher"는 "learn in the morning and teach at night"라는 비유의 일부만 확대한 것이다.

글의 흐름상 가장 어색한 문장은?
Children's playgrounds throughout history were the wilderness, fields, streams, and hills of the country and the roads, streets, and vacant places of villages, towns, and cities. ①The term playground refers to all those places where children gather to play their free, spontaneous games. ②Only during the past few decades have children vacated these natural playgrounds for their growing love affair with video games, texting, and social networking. ③Even in rural America few children are still roaming in a free-ranging manner, unaccompanied by adults. ④When out of school, they are commonly found in neighborhoods digging in sand, building forts, playing traditional games, climbing, or playing ball games. They are rapidly disappearing from the natural terrain of creeks, hills, and fields, and like their urban counterparts, are turning to their indoor, sedentary cyber toys for entertainment.

글은 아이들이 자연 놀이터를 "vacated"(떠났고) 실내의 "sedentary cyber toys"(앉아서 하는 사이버 장난감)로 향한다는 내용인데, 이 문장은 아이들이 여전히 동네에서 모래 놀이·공놀이를 흔히 한다고 말해 흐름과 반대된다.

In the 1840s, the island of Ireland suffered famine. Because Ireland could not produce enough food to feed its population, about a million people died of (A); they simply didn't have enough to eat to stay alive. The famine caused another 1.25 million people to (B); many left their island home for the United States; the rest went to Canada, Australia, Chile, and other countries. Before the famine, the population of Ireland was approximately 6 million. After the great food shortage, it was about 4 million.

fatigue, be detained

starvation, emigrate

trauma, immigrate

dehydration, be deported

(A)에는 "starvation"(굶주림), (B)에는 "emigrate"(타국으로 이주하다)가 들어간다.
(A) 뒤에 "they simply didn't have enough to eat to stay alive"(살아남을 만큼 먹지 못했다)가 이어지므로 굶주림이다. (B) 뒤의 "many left their island home for the United States"는 고국을 떠나 다른 나라로 가는 것이므로 "emigrate"이다.
"fatigue"(피로)·"be detained"(구금되다)는 식량 부족과 이주의 문맥과 맞지 않는다.
"immigrate"는 다른 나라로 '들어오는' 이주로, 아일랜드를 떠나는 관점과 맞지 않는다.
"dehydration"(탈수)·"be deported"(추방되다)도 근거가 없다.

Today the technology to create the visual component of virtual-reality (VR) experiences is well on its way to becoming widely accessible and affordable. But to work powerfully, virtual reality needs to be about more than visuals. (A) what you are hearing convincingly matches the visuals, the virtual experience breaks apart. Take a basketball game. If the players, the coaches, the announcers, and the crowd all sound like they're sitting midcourt, you may as well watch the game on television — you'll get just as much of a sense that you are "there." (B), today's audio equipment and our widely used recording and reproduction formats are simply inadequate to the task of re-creating convincingly the sound of a battlefield on a distant planet, a basketball game at courtside, or a symphony as heard from the first row of a great concert hall.

If, By contrast

Unless, Consequently

If, Similarly

Unless, Unfortunately

(A)에는 "Unless", (B)에는 "Unfortunately"가 들어간다.
(A)는 들리는 소리가 화면과 그럴듯하게 맞지 '않으면' 가상 경험이 "breaks apart"(무너진다)는 조건이므로 "Unless"이다. (B) 뒤에는 오늘날 오디오 장비가 "simply inadequate"(전혀 부적합하다)는 아쉬운 현실이 나오므로 "Unfortunately"이다.
"If"를 (A)에 넣으면 소리가 맞을 때 경험이 무너진다는 모순된 문장이 된다.
"By contrast"·"Similarly"는 앞의 농구 예시와 대조·유사 관계가 아니어서 맞지 않는다.
"Consequently"는 앞 내용이 장비 부적합의 원인이 아니므로 어색하다.

The same thinking can be applied to any number of goals, like improving performance at work.

The happy brain tends to focus on the short term. ( ① ) That being the case, it's a good idea to consider what short-term goals we can accomplish that will eventually lead to accomplishing long-term goals. ( ② ) For instance, if you want to lose thirty pounds in six months, what short-term goals can you associate with losing the smaller increments of weight that will get you there? ( ③ ) Maybe it's something as simple as rewarding yourself each week that you lose two pounds. ( ④ ) By breaking the overall goal into smaller, shorter-term parts, we can focus on incremental accomplishments instead of being overwhelmed by the enormity of the goal in our profession.

우리말을 영어로 잘못 옮긴 것은?

나는 내 아들이 읽을 책을 한 권 사야 한다. 
 → I should buy a book for my son to read.

그녀는 남편과 결혼한 지 20년 이상 되었다. 
 → She has married to her husband for more than two decades.

나는 유럽 여행을 준비하느라 바쁘다. 
 → I am busy preparing for a trip to Europe.

혹시 내게 전화하고 싶은 경우에 이게 내 번호야. 
 → This is my number just in case you would like to call me.

잘못 옮긴 것은 "She has married to her husband"로 쓴 문장이다.
marry는 타동사이므로 "marry to"로 쓰지 않으며, 결혼한 "상태"의 지속을 for more than two decades와 함께 나타내려면 be married to를 써서 "She has been married to her husband for more than two decades."가 되어야 한다.
"a book for my son to read"는 to부정사의 형용사적 용법과 의미상 주어 for my son이 바르게 쓰였다.
"busy preparing for a trip"은 "be busy (in) -ing"(~하느라 바쁘다) 구문으로 옳다.
"just in case you would like to call me"는 "in case"(~할 경우에 대비해) 접속사 구문으로 우리말과 일치한다.

In the nineteenth century, the most respected health and medical experts all insisted that diseases were caused by "miasma," a fancy term for bad air. Western society's system of health was based on this assumption: to prevent diseases, windows were kept open or closed, depending on whether there was more miasma inside or outside the room; it was believed that doctors could not pass along disease because gentlemen did not inhabit quarters with bad air. Then the idea of germs came along. One day, everyone believed that bad air makes you sick. Then, almost overnight, people started realizing there were invisible things called microbes and bacteria that were the real cause of diseases. This new view of disease brought sweeping changes to medicine, as surgeons adopted antiseptics and scientists invented vaccines and antibiotics. But, just as momentously, the idea of germs gave ordinary people the power to influence their own lives. Now, if you wanted to stay healthy, you could wash your hands, boil your water, cook your food thoroughly, and clean cuts and scrapes with iodine.

In the nineteenth century, opening windows was irrelevant to the density of miasma.

In the nineteenth century, it was believed that gentlemen did not live in places with bad air.

Vaccines were invented after people realized that microbes and bacteria were the real cause of diseases.

Cleaning cuts and scrapes could help people to stay healthy.

Followers are a critical part of the leadership equation, but their role has not always been appreciated. For a long time, in fact, "the common view of leadership was that leaders actively led and subordinates, later called followers, passively and obediently followed." Over time, especially in the last century, social change shaped people's views of followers, and leadership theories gradually recognized the active and important role that followers play in the leadership process. Today it seems natural to accept the important role followers play. One aspect of leadership is particularly worth noting in this regard: Leadership is a social influence process shared among all members of a group. Leadership is not restricted to the influence exerted by someone in a particular position or role; followers are part of the leadership process, too.

For a length of time, it was understood that leaders actively led and followers passively followed.

People’s views of subordinates were influenced by social change.

The important role of followers is still denied today.

Both leaders and followers participate in the leadership process.

Language proper is itself double-layered. Single noises are only occasionally meaningful: mostly, the various speech sounds convey coherent messages only when combined into an overlapping chain, like different colors of ice-cream melting into one another. In birdsong also, ______________: the sequence is what matters. In both humans and birds, control of this specialized sound-system is exercised by one half of the brain, normally the left half, and the system is learned relatively early in life. And just as many human languages have dialects, so do some bird species: in California, the white-crowned sparrow has songs so different from area to area that Californians can supposedly tell where they are in the state by listening to these sparrows.

Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman changed the way the world thinks about economics, upending the notion that human beings are rational decision-makers. Along the way, his discipline-crossing influence has altered the way physicians make medical decisions and investors evaluate risk on Wall Street. In a paper, Kahneman and his colleagues outline a process for making big strategic decisions. Their suggested approach, labeled as "Mediating Assessments Protocol," or MAP, has a simple goal: To put off gut-based decision-making until a choice can be informed by a number of separate factors. "One of the essential purposes of MAP is basically to ______________ intuition," Kahneman said in a recent interview with The Post. The structured process calls for analyzing a decision based on six to seven previously chosen attributes, discussing each of them separately and assigning them a relative percentile score, and finally, using those scores to make a holistic judgment.

MAP의 목표가 "To put off gut-based decision-making until a choice can be informed by a number of separate factors"(여러 요인으로 판단이 뒷받침될 때까지 직감에 따른 결정을 미루는 것)이므로, 직관을 미룬다는 뜻의 동사가 와야 한다.
