When he was a Harvard student, world-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma played often at concerts in and around Boston. He became very popular, and one day when one of his concerts was sold out, he gave a free concert for those who were unable to obtain tickets — he sat in the theater lobby and played Bach cello suites. Later in his career, when he was an international success, he still would often _________. For example, many guest cello soloists play in the first half of a concert, then they are finished for the night. However, Mr. Ma would sometimes play as part of the orchestra in the second half of the concert — doing this with the Philadelphia Orchestra was especially enjoyable for him. He says, “It is an honor to play the back stands of the Philadelphia Orchestra. It’s incredible the way those players listen, the knowledge they have. I admire it so much. And I feel the thrill of being part of something that’s greater than the sum of its parts — being accepted as part of the team.”

[문제] 3 주어진 글 다음에 이어질 글의 순서로 가장 적절한 것은?

In the summer of 1878, a thirty-year-old Dutch botanist named Hugo de Vries traveled to England to see Darwin. It was more of a spiritual journey than a scientific visit.

 

(A) With no more than a brief conversation, Darwin had inserted a sluice into de Vries’s racing mind, completely redirecting it forever. Back in Amsterdam, de Vries suddenly terminated his prior work on the movement of tendrils in plants and threw himself into solving the mystery of heredity.

(B) He also had Darwin’s persistence. The meeting must have been exhausting, for it lasted only two hours, and Darwin had to excuse himself to take a break. But de Vries left England transformed.

(C) Darwin was vacationing at his sister’s estate in Dorking, but de Vries tracked him down and traveled out to meet him. Thin, intense, and excitable, with a beard that rivaled Darwin’s, de Vries already looked like a younger version of his idol.

* sluice: 수문(水門) ** tendril: 덩굴손 *** heredity: 유전

 

① (A) - (C) - (B) ② (B) - (A) - (C) ③ (B) - (C) - (A)

[Gate Way] [문제] 1 다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?

In the post-World War II years after 1945, unparalleled economic growth fueled a building boom and a massive migration from the central cities to the new suburban areas. The suburbs were far more dependent on the automobile, signaling the shift from primary dependence on public transportation to private cars. Soon this led to the construction of better highways and freeways and the decline and even loss of public transportation. With all of these changes came a _________ of leisure. As more people owned their own homes, with more space inside and lovely yards outside, their recreation and leisure time was increasingly centered around the home or, at most, the neighborhood. One major activity of this home-based leisure was watching television. No longer did one have to ride the trolly to the theater to watch a movie; similar entertainment was available for free and more conveniently from television.

* unparalleled: 유례없는

 

① downfall ② uniformity ③ restoration

④ privatization ⑤ customization

[문제] 1 다음 글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것은?

It is uncontroversially true that people in different societies have different customs and different ideas about right and wrong. There is no world consensus on which actions are right and wrong, even though there is a considerable overlap between views on this. If we consider how much moral views have changed both from place to place and from age to age it can be tempting to think that there are no absolute moral facts, but rather that morality is always relative to the society in which you have been brought up. On such a view, since slavery was morally acceptable to most Ancient Greeks but is not to most Europeans today, slavery was right for the Ancient Greeks but would be wrong for today’s Europeans. This view, known as moral relativism, makes morality simply a description of the values held by a particular society at a particular time. This is a meta-ethical view about the nature of moral judgements. Moral judgements can only be judged true or false relative to a particular society. There are no absolute moral judgements: they are all elative.

 

① the harmful effects of moral relativism

② the relative nature of moral judgements

③ considerations in making moral judgements

④ why moral judgments are not always desirable

⑤ moral behavior as a means of self-improvement

[문제] 2 다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?

If the United States has one of the easiest geographies to develop, Mexico has one of the most difficult. The entirety of Mexico is in essence the southern extension of the Rocky Mountains, which is a kind way of saying that America’s worst lands are strikingly similar to Mexico’s best lands. As one would expect from a territory that is mountain-dominated, there are no navigable rivers and no large cohesive pieces of fertile land like the American Southeast or the Columbia valley, much less the Midwest. Each mountain valley is a sort of fastness where a small handful of oligarchs control local economic and political life. Mexico shouldn’t be thought of as a unified state, but instead as a collage of dozens of little Mexicos where local power brokers constantly align with and against each other (and a national government seeking — often in vain — to stitch together something more cohesive). In its __________, Mexico is a textbook case that countries with the greatest need for capital-intensive infrastructure are typically the countries with the lowest ability to generate the capital necessary to build that infrastructure.

* cohesive: 응집된, 결합력이 있는 ** oligarch: 과두 정치 독재자 *** infrastructure: 사회 기반 시설

 

① democratic atmosphere

② agricultural vastness

③ labor-intensive structure

④ regional disconnectedness

⑤ widespread industrialization

[문제] 3 글의 흐름으로 보아, 주어진 문장이 들어가기에 가장 적절한 곳은?

Saltwater constitutes 97% of Earth’s water, and of the 3% that is fresh, two-thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice.

 

When Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote the words, “Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink” in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in 1798, the dangers of drinking seawater had been known for thousands of years. ( ① ) Seawater does indeed make men mad. ( ② ) Historical evidence indicates the ancient Egyptians knew seawater was not potable, but the earliest realization that it was unsafe to drink has been lost to antiquity. ( ③ ) In pre-Columbian times, the greatest fear of venturing too far from land on the ocean was not falling off the surface of the Earth but lack of fresh drinking water. ( ④ ) From a human perspective, the oceans, which cover 70% of Earth’s surface, are still the most extensive and unique desert wildernesses on the planet. ( ⑤ ) Thus, a mere 1% of all the water on the planet (in lakes and rivers, groundwater, and the atmosphere) is fresh and can be used by terrestrial plants and animals.

* potable: 마시기에 적합한 ** terrestrial: 육상의
