[문제] 1 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은?

<As consumers> we have the right to know [what we are paying for], and <as active participants in the exploitation of animals> we also have a moral obligation ① to confront the truth about the choices [we make]. The reality is that we all have our part to play in overcoming injustice, especially one so ubiquitous, systemic and ② universally perpetuated as the oppression of non-human animals. With the continuing industrialisation of animal farming and the increasing number of animals being farmed, coupled with the ever-growing existential threat of climate change and future pandemics, it has never been more important to address our current food system and challenge ③ ourselves as individuals and consumers. By doing this, we can then challenge the normalisation of our dominance over non-human animals and the natural world ④ that in turn negatively impacts every life on this planet, ours included. Fundamentally, that’s an attempt to hold up a mirror to the absurdity of what we are doing and ⑤ revealing the solution that is right there in front of us.

* ubiquitous: 어디에나 있는 ** perpetuate: 영구화하다 *** oppression: 억압

 

Content of the text: 소비자로서 우리가 지불하는 것에 대해 알 권리가 있고 동물착취에 대한 참가자로서 우리가 하는 선택에 맞설 도의적 의무가 있다.

[문제] 2 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장은?

The terms “creativity” and “musician” were once inseparable. In the classical world, <based on the conservatory approach>, the creativity part has seemed to have all but disappeared. ① Yes, we are all creative beasts in some form, but in classical music and music education in general, creativity typically equates with being able to recreate a piece of music slightly differently from the way someone else does. ② For the most part, the instructions on how to play the piece of music are written directly onto the page, and the only part up for debate is how the instructions are to be “interpreted” by the musician playing that piece. ③ Readers and listeners bring their own practices, knowledge and cultural codes to interpret what they read and hear. ④ Even then, there are generally accepted ways to interpret a piece of music that are considered conventional and stylistically appropriate. ⑤ In every other genre of music outside of classical (and jazz to some degree), creativity and creating something new is part of being a musician and is never separated from that, nor does it rely solely on reproducing other people’s music to exist.

* conservatory: 음악 학교

 

Content of the text: 음악가와 창의성은 불가분의 관계이다. 하지만 클래식 세계에서는 사라져버린 것처럼 보여 왔다.

 

Tip for finding answers: 무관한 문장은 거의 3번과 4번에 답이 존재한다. 첫 문장을 잘 이해하고 3번, 4번 지문을 보면 답이 보이는 경우가 많다. 물론 2번도 답이 되는 경우도 있으니 3번, 4번 문장을 확인 후 2번을 보는 것도 좋은 방법이다.

③ Readers and listeners bring their own practices, knowledge and cultural codes <to interpret [what they read and hear]>.

 

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

What is normal? Dictionary definitions include usual or typical. Normal doesn’t mean there’s never a cause for concern, or that there’s nothing that can be done to make things better. Normal age-related changes can affect [what you do day-to-day and how you feel, both physically and emotionally].

 

(A) It is “normal,” and hopefully you will respond by getting glasses to correct your vision. Without glasses, you wouldn’t be able to live a normal life, and your new visual impairment would become a disability. We don’t usually think of glasses as assistive devices, yet they are, just like canes or hearing aids.

(B) They can make an enormous difference in the quality of our lives as we age; however, this will happen only if we recognize how they improve our function and ability to engage with the world when using them.

(C) We’re lucky to live at a time when so many adaptive devices and technologies are available. When you turn 40 or so, you develop blurred vision while doing close-up work, reading, using the computer, or sewing, for example. This is called presbyopia.

* impairment: 손상 ** blurred: 흐릿한 *** presbyopia: 노안(老眼)

① (A) - (C) - (B) ② (B) - (A) - (C)

③ (B) - (C) - (A) ④ (C) - (A) - (B)

⑤ (C) - (B) - (A)

 

Content of the text: 보통이란 무엇인가? 그리면서 사람의 나이와 관련된 정상적인 변화에 대해 언급하면서 시력저하에 관한 글내용이다.

 

Tip for finding answers: normal -> normal age-related changes -> blurred vision -> glasses -> the quality of our lives

[문제] 4 (A), (B), (C)의 각 네모 안에서 어법에 맞는 표현으로 가장 적절한 것은?

Bee hunting, also known as bee lining, used to be practiced widely in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. Indeed, it may be a pursuit as old as humankind, for it is likely that early humans, living in hunter-gatherer groups, searched for nests of honey bees and robbed (A) them / themselves of brood and honey for food, as do some of the hunter-gatherer peoples who have survived to the present time. Probably the earliest written description of the methods for finding the nest of a wild honey bee colony by lining bees is that of Columella, a Roman farm owner and writer on agriculture (B) lived / who lived in the first century A.D. In his book on the cultivation of bees, he gives delightfully detailed instructions for capturing bees at a spring, feeding them honey, and then (C) releases / releasing them one by one to trail them back to “the lurking place of the swarm.”

* brood: (같은 때에 태어난) 새끼들 ** lurking place: 은신처 *** swarm: 벌 떼

       (A)                       (B)                  (C)

① them    ……        lived      ……   releases

② them    ……       who lived …… releasing

③ them     ……      who lived …… releases

④ themselves …… who lived …… releasing

⑤ themselves …… lived      ……   releases

In his book on the cultivation of bees, he gives delightfully detailed instructions for capturing bees at a spring, feeding them honey, and then (C) releases / releasing them one by one to trail them back to “the lurking place of the swarm.” 병렬로 capturing, feeding and releasing으로 하여야 한다.

 

[지문] 5~6 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

One of the most dangerous properties of language is [that it allows us to say things [that aren’t true]]. The danger is not just that people may be misled, but that falsehood may be more effective than truth. Truth becomes a (a) victim of human sociality. The strength of human commitment to beliefs in supernatural entities and conspiracy theories — a kind of commitment found in human groups worldwide — draws precisely on the (b) disconnect between a statement and the reality it claims to describe. If a group of people collectively state a belief in something that is likely to be (c) false, then the statement, far from seeding doubt, will work as an honest signal of each individual’s commitment to the group. Author Curtis Yarvin explains the attraction of improbable ideas in building social movements. For the purpose of social loyalty, it’s actually (d) worse if the belief that people coordinate around is clearly false: “Nonsense is a more effective organizing tool than the truth.... To believe in nonsense is an unforgeable demonstration of loyalty. It serves as a political uniform. And if you have a uniform, you have an army.” This is all very well if your only goal is to (e) secure loyalty in defending a position, but reality will come for you at some point. While real soldiers may swear loyalty to magical ideas, they are ultimately in the business of physical force, not magic but brute reality. Once a bullet is flying, neither words nor the beliefs they express can stop it.

* entity: 실체 ** conspiracy theory: 음모설 *** unforgeable: 위조 불가능한

[문제] 6 밑줄 친 (a)~(e) 중에서 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것은?

 

① (a)    ② (b)    ③ (c)    ④ (d)    ⑤ (e)

 

Content of the text: 언어의 가장 위험한 특성들 중 하나는 진실이 아닌 것을 말할 수 있게 한다는 것이다.

그 위험이 사람을 오도되게 할 뿐만 아니라 거짓이 진실보다 더 효과적일 수 있다 그러나 결국에는 현실에 부딪혀 깨지고 만다는 내용의 글이다.

 

Tip for finding answers: For the purpose of social loyalty, it’s actually (d) worse [if the belief [that people coordinate around] is clearly false]: it이 가르치는 것이 the attraction of improbable ideas (개연성 없는 생각들의 매력)으로 모여드는 믿음이 거짓이라면 실제로 더 좋다라는 의미를 파악해야 한다.
