Participants [who volunteer for a study] must be allowed to discontinue participation. If research participants feel stressed, tired, or otherwise ① unable to continue the study to completion, there should be no ② stated threat of penalty for withdrawing. The informed consent should make it clear what the results of terminating will be, even if the probability of withdrawal is low. One approach to this problem is to provide participants with prorated compensation based on the percentage of the study ③ they completed. If participants are being paid ＄25 for participating in a focus group, and the focus group begins to explore issues that make the participant ④ uneasily, a withdrawing participant should be paid for the part of the focus group that she or he completed. For college students who participate for course credit, such partial credit could be harder to construct — but you should have a plan, especially if you think participants might not finish the study. As with many parts of the research process, it is wise ⑤ to prepare for low-probability events.

* prorate: 비례 배분하다

[문제] 8 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장은?

Reproduction is a fundamental problem for all organisms. Animal species exhibit a diverse range of strategies to produce offspring, [which often require large inputs of energy and are associated with major risks to their survival]. ① Among mammals, females undergo more direct costs of reproduction insofar as they carry (literally) the burden of embryonic and fetal growth and nourishment of the young through lactation. ② Thus the health of a female mammal directly affects reproductive outcome, both in terms of her fertility and the survival or death of her offspring. ③ A range of species are known to provide extended parental care, which prevents young animals lacking in life skills from dying in the dangerous days and weeks after leaving their mothers. ④ Human females experience these costs as a function of their mammalian heritage, but the variety of environments they inhabit generates substantial differences in the reproductive risks that women face. ⑤ Their abilities to reduce these risks are important determinants of individual and population differences in maternal and child health and survival.

* embryonic: 배아의 ** fetal: 태아의 *** lactation: 수유

 

Content of the text: 번식은 모든 생명체에서 많은 에너지를 필요로 하고 생존에 대한 위험 요소와 관련이 있는 근본적 문제이다.

Galileo studied terrestrial gravitation not by asking about the nature of gravity, but by observing how objects behave when gravity acts on them.

 

(A) By meticulously measuring the time [it took the ball to travel various distances], he was able to find out how the speed of the ball changed in transit. His bottom line: Terrestrial gravity causes all objects to accelerate the same amount, regardless of their mass, and the rate of that acceleration is constant.

(B) In particular, he did a series of experiments on balls rolling down inclined planes (the purpose of the incline being, in his words, to “dilute” gravity enough so that he could measure the time it took for the ball to roll with the primitive clocks available to him).

(C) These simple observations allowed Galileo and his contemporaries to understand (and predict) things like the fall of a stone or the arc of a cannonball. They are the basic facts that tell you everything you need to know about how unsupported objects behave at the surface of our planet.

* terrestrial gravitation: 지구 중력 ** meticulously: 꼼꼼하게 *** dilute: 약하게 하다

[문제] 10 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은?

The rule about not being a hero isn’t about not taking action. This rule is about being a bigger person and having the good sense ① to walk away from a potential confrontation — even if there is a part of you that doesn’t want to. Trust me. I know how ② hard this can be. I was running early one morning in Baltimore, Maryland, toward the inner harbor. I noticed two guys on the sidewalk ahead of me. I was in my jogging clothes, and they were fully dressed walking around at 6 a.m., which is a bit unusual. As I ran toward them, I saw them look at each other and then spread apart, creating a situation ③ which I’d have to run between the two of them. If I had placed myself between them, who knows what they might have done? I decided to play it safe: run across the street, making sure to give them eye contact and let them ④ know I’m paying attention. Maybe it was nothing. Maybe they had six friends around the corner and they were going to rob me. My main point is that I didn’t let my ego get in the way; I didn’t feel a need to prove myself by running between them and ⑤ risk a potentially dangerous situation.

[지문] 11~12 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

Ownership of the media gives control over the nature of the information <distributed>. Proponents of public ownership of the media argue that because information is a public good — that is, [once it has been supplied to some consumers] it is hard to keep it away from others [who have not paid for it] — private owners tend to provide (a) less information than would be socially desirable. They also argue that with private ownership the media industry runs the risk of representing the views of only a (b) narrow group in society, and state ownership of the media is necessary to expose the public to desirable cultural or educational themes or values.

Opponents of public ownership argue that government control of the media can be used to manipulate people and (c) distort the information <supplied in the incumbent government’s favor>. Moreover, experience shows that government-owned enterprises are less likely to be responsive to consumer demand. Finally, government-owned media are not subject to competition, thus giving rise to the danger of both poor-quality production and (d) inefficiencies. A recent article on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) claims that government ownership makes it (e) easier than it would otherwise be for other media companies to grow. The article claims that the large amounts of tax revenue that are given to the BBC give it an advantage relative to private companies. It also contends that as a private company, the BBC would be more dynamic, and therefore better able to compete with global media firms.

* incumbent: 현재의 ** tax revenue: 세수, 세입
