[문제] 1 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은?

It can often feel frustrating and pointless to argue with a conspiracist. <Highlighting logical contradictions or a lack of reliable evidence, <even showing them evidence that counters their claim>,> can seem like a waste of time [when you don’t make progress in ① changing a person’s mind]. But that does not mean you shouldn’t try. What you should not do is accuse another person of ignorance or stupidity, ② however tempting that might be in the heat of an argument. Instead, examine where they have obtained their evidence; ask them what the chances are that the conspiracy could have been ③ kept a secret by so many people. The Moon landing hoax is a good example of a conspiracy theory that is difficult to justify on these grounds, as it requires tens of thousands of people working for NASA and the many other industries that supported the Apollo missions to have been ‘in on it’ and to have remained ④ silent for half a century. Just as importantly, ⑤ to try to understand their underlying concerns and why it is that they believe, or want to believe, what they do.

* conspiracist: 음모론자 ** hoax: 날조, 거짓말

[문제] 2 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장은?

Many sports involve <interpreting and anticipating the behavior of other athletes>. ① In basketball, for example, an athlete not only must execute actions in light of her immediate goals and overall game strategy, she also must coordinate her actions with her teammates’ complementary actions and opponents’ disruptive, incompatible actions. ② Coordinating her actions with teammates and opponents requires interpreting their behavior and anticipating what they will do next. ③ For instance, she must recognize when an opponent is driving to the basket, anticipate the positions her teammates will be in when the opponent is driving to the basket, and decide whether to pursue the driving opponent or let a better-positioned teammate step in to defend against the drive. ④ In many cases, the anticipation of success causes superior athletes to overestimate their abilities, and as a result, they begin to neglect the hard work required to achieve their goals. ⑤ This dynamic interaction happens very quickly, and superior athletes are more highly skilled at coordinating their behavior with teammates and opponents’ behavior.

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

We all have an intuitive sense of what “politics” means, but may find it harder <to define the term precisely>.

 

(A) Such choices will be constrained — we may not be able to buy everything we want, or choose the exact job we want — but they are not coerced. We make these choices, and no one else forces us to do so. Furthermore, these choices affect only the person who makes them and other, similarly consenting individuals who freely enter into voluntary, contractual relationships.

(B) By contrast, political choices are collective and binding. They may be a consequence of individual decisions (in a dictatorship, the choice of a single leader; in a democracy, the choices of a majority of citizens), but everyone in the community is obliged to accept these decisions whether or not they support them.

(C) Modern political science offers a clear and helpful concept: politics is collective choice that is binding on a community. To see this, draw a contrast between politics as the domain of collective choice and economics as the domain of individual choice. Economic choices — for example, what to consume or produce, or what kind of employment to engage in — are individual and voluntary.

* constrain: 제한[제약]하다 ** coerce: 강요하다

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

It is not perhaps surprising that prior experience affects the interpretation of and response to symptoms. <Having a history of particular symptoms or experience of illness in others (i.e. vicarious experience)> (A) generate / generates assumptions about the meaning and implications of some symptoms. Also, symptoms considered to be rare in either one’s own experience, or in that of others, are more likely to be interpreted as (B) serious / seriously than a previously experienced or widespread symptom. Believing symptoms to be ‘just a bug that’s going round’ can mean that people sometimes ignore potentially dangerous ‘warning signals’. A knowledge of which bodily signs are associated with particular behaviour or illnesses (e.g. sweats and exercise, sweats and flu) will enable interpretation of the symptom and attachment of a meaning to it. These reserves of knowledge are known as ‘disease prototypes’. Relevant to the ongoing (at the time of writing) coronavirus outbreak is the earlier finding (C) that / which people tend to perceive novel viral threats as higher in risk compared to more common threats such as influenza.

* vicarious: (느낌·경험이) 대리의 ** bug: (가벼운) 유행성 질병 *** prototype: 원형, 전형

          (A)                (B)               (C)

① generate …… serious ……   that

② generates ……serious ……  which

③ generates …… serious …… that

④ generate ……  seriously …   which

[지문] 5~6 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오

<Following the dramatic arc of sporting contests and athletic careers> allows us to witness the efforts of athletes to live good human lives — to (a) pursue excellence, victory, fame, and fortune and also to deal with failure and loss. And while the drama of a play or novel is the scripted drama of the author’s creation, the drama of sport is that of real people who must live with the consequences of their decisions. This is one reason why I (b) support the idea that sports should be sharply separated from “real life.” When we watch sports, we are not watching characters. The actor who plays Romeo doesn’t die at the end of the performance; he gets to leave the character’s plight behind when he goes home. By contrast, injuries that players suffer in the pursuit of their goals are not (c) rehearsed, and the quarterback of the losing team does not get to divest himself of the game’s result. If these features of sports do not necessarily make sports an encouragement to ethical reflection that is (d) superior to drama or literature, I think they at least show that sports are not inferior in this regard. At a minimum, I want to insist that if it makes sense to regard the plays of Shakespeare as legitimate sources for our own thinking about the nature of the good life, then there is no reason to think that sports are (e) less capable of igniting such reflective capacities.

* plight: 곤경, 역경 ** divest: (의무 등으로부터) 벗어나게 하다 *** ignite: 촉발하다
