[문제] 7다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은?

Reading is a tool for understanding human cognition. The capacity to use language evolved in humans over many thousands of years, the end result ① being that children acquire it easily and rapidly through interactions with other speakers. Reading is different: it is a technology, like radio, that came into existence because a person — or possibly several — had the insight ② to invent it. The advent of reading occurred relatively recently in human history, well after humans had evolved capacities to speak, think, perceive, reason, learn, and act. Reading was a new tool ③ created out of existing parts. The fortuitous by-product of this history is ④ what we can use reading to investigate all these capacities. A person doesn’t have to be a reading scientist to study reading; they might study vision or memory, for example, using experimental methods that happen to involve having people ⑤ read words and sentences. This bonus has resulted in the creation of a research literature of exceptional depth and quality.

* advent: 출현 ** fortuitous: 우연한

 

Content of the text: 독서는 인간의 인지를 이해하기 위한 도구이다.

 

Tip for finding answers: The fortuitous by-product of this history is ④ [what we can use reading <to investigate all these capacities>].

 

[문제] 8 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계없는 문장은?

<When talking about the shared assumptions [that emerge from our social interactions] and [that we use to define reality]>, we need to also consider [how these assumptions and ideas get communicated from person to person and then across entire populations]. How does this actually happen? ① Communication takes place through the symbolic meanings that are captured in the words we say (and how we say them), the behaviors we exhibit, the gestures we perform, the clothes we wear, the makeup we (don’t) apply, and so on. ② This particular view of social behavior can be summed up with the following statement: Humans act toward things on the basis of the meanings they ascribe to those things and those meanings are, in the first place, created (and continuously re-created) through social interaction. ③ Sociable behavior in real-life social interactions might differ from laboratory settings as people face real consequences. ④ This is yet another way of saying that reality is a subjective construction rather than an objective fact. ⑤ It emerges from the infinite transactions or forms of communication between people.

* ascribe to: ~에 속하는 것으로 생각하다

 

Content of the text: 사회적 상호작용에서 나오고 현실을 정의하기 위해 사용하는 공유된 가정이 의사 전달되는 과정에 관한 글 내용이다.

 

Tip for finding answers: 무관한 문장은 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 Sociable behavior in real-life social interactions might differ from laboratory settings [as people face real consequences]. 현실의 사회 상호 작용에서 사교적인 행동은 사람들이 실제 결과에 직면할 때 실험적인 상황과는 다를 수 있다.

 

[문제] 9 주어진 글 다음에 이어질 글의 순서로 가장 적절한 것은?

Good ideas — like a new way of treating a deadly disease or the perfect breakup song — have the potential to improve lives. We want them to spread. So we should celebrate the fact [that information goods don’t run out or wear down].

 

(A) Intellectual property (IP) law is meant to remedy this public goods problem — the feared undersupply of creative investment — by creating legal barriers to competition by prohibiting copying. IP rights are an effort to overcome the inherent characteristics of intellectual resources and force them to behave more like tangible property.

(B) But the public-goods characteristics of information resources create a potential problem. Although a groundbreaking treatment or a heartbreaking song can be freely shared and enjoyed, making something new requires investments of time, effort, and money.

(C) If creators cannot recover those investments, plus a reasonable profit for their trouble, some will be dissuaded. In a world where creating new works is expensive and copying them is cheap and easy for the public, poets will become accountants, and inventors will become plumbers.

* tangible: 유형의 ** dissuade: 단념시키다 *** plumber: 배관공

 

① (A) - (C) - (B) ② (B) - (A) - (C)

③ (B) - (C) - (A) ④ (C) - (A) - (B)

⑤ (C) - (B) - (A)

 

Content of the text: 좋은 생각들은 삶을 발전시키는 것이다.

 

Tip for finding answers: Good ideas -> But (creat a potential problem) -> investments -> IP (remedy this public goods problem)

[When we reflect on our past], we can see [that the directions [we have taken] can often be traced back to one single, short moment.] Our lives often turn on ① what at the time seem to be the most trivial of occurrences: a chance meeting and a single sentence that was or wasn’t said. As one ages and becomes wiser, it becomes possible to see that life is governed in this way and that the big things in life, such as who one marries, what career one pursues, where one lives and so on, often ② to arise from such unexpected everyday and, at the time, seemingly trivial encounters. To be able to navigate life successfully, so that you make the best decisions for yourself at any given moment, you need to be authentic — you need to be able to counter external influences ③ pulling you to go against the grain of your own gut feelings. Authenticity is at the heart of our decision-making and it is in each and every small moment in life ④ that it makes a difference. We are constantly in the process of creating ⑤ ourselves.

* gut feeling: 직감

 

Content of the text: 우리가 과거를 회상할 때 우리가 취한 방향이 단 한 번의 짧은 순간으로 갈 수 있다.

[지문] [011~012] 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

Across the sciences and society, in politics and education, in warfare and commerce, new technologies do not merely augment our abilities, but actively shape and direct them, for better and for worse. It is increasingly necessary to be able to think of new technologies in (a) different ways, and to be critical of them, in order to meaningfully participate in that shaping and directing. If we do not understand how complex technologies function, how systems of technologies interconnect, and how systems of systems interact, then we are (b) powerless within them, and their potential is more easily captured by selfish elites and inhuman corporations. Precisely because these technologies interact with one another in unexpected and often-strange ways, and because we are completely entangled with them, this understanding cannot be limited to the practicalities of how things work: it must be (c) extended to how things came to be, and how they continue to function in the world in ways that are often invisible and interwoven. What is required is not understanding, but literacy.

True literacy in systems consists of much more than simple understanding, and might be understood and practised in multiple ways. It goes beyond a system’s functional use to comprehend its context and consequences. It refuses to see the application of any one system as a cure-all, insisting upon the interrelationships of systems and the inherent (d) limitations of any single solution. It is fluent not only in the language of a system, but in its metalanguage — the language it uses to talk about itself and to interact with other systems — and is (e) indifferent to the limitations and the potential uses and abuses of that metalanguage. It is, crucially, capable of both performing and responding to critique.

* augment: 증강하다 ** entangle: 얽히게 만들다 *** practicalities: 실질적인 측면

Content of the text: 새로운 기술들은 우리의 능력을 증강할 뿐만 아니라 형성하고 통제한다. 따라서 새로운 기술을 위해 우리에게 요구되는 것은 이해가 아니라 사용 능력이다.

 

Tip for finding answers: It is fluent not only in the language of a system, but in its metalanguage — the language it uses to talk about itself and to interact with other systems — and is (e) indifferent to the limitations and the potential uses and abuses of that metalanguage.

Literacy(사용능력)는 메타언어의 한계와 잠재적 사용 및 남용에 민감하다. 따라서 indifferent을 sensitive로 바꿔야 한다.
