In comparing different subway car layouts, we can see how seemingly small design choices can have outsized effects on user behavior. The position of a subway car’s doors, for example, ① shapes how riders use that space. When designers position doors symmetrically, riders will often crowd around the doors, leaving much of the car ② unused. When designers choose to position the doors asymmetrically, however, use of the space ③ being more evenly distributed; passengers can enter and exit the car more efficiently. In these cases, the affordances of both layouts are the same — riders in both environments are afforded the opportunity to use the whole space of the car to sit, stand, and ride. But by changing the location of the doors, designers can reshape riders’ perceptions of that space, ④ which influences how and whether riders take advantage of this affordance. By moving the position of the subway car doors, in other words, designers can use the power of the built environment to shape rider behavior, getting riders ⑤ to do something they would not otherwise do.

* symmetrically: 대칭적으로 ** affordance: 행동 유도성

In 1958 the American political scientist Edward Banfield advanced an influential thesis [that attributed southern Italy’s lower level of prosperity to stronger family ties in the region]. ① He argued that more intense family ties diminished trust outside of one’s kinship group, weakened cooperation in pursuit of a common public goal, and thereby reduced the level of economic prosperity in the region. ② In line with his thesis, recent evidence suggests that kinship ties do indeed differ significantly across Italian regions, as they do more generally across countries. ③ Likewise, tighter nuclear family bonds do tend to adversely affect levels of social trust, political participation, the status of women in the workforce and geographic mobility. ④ Due to regional efforts, significant progress has been made in enhancing the status of women, empowering them to thrive both within and beyond their familial roles. ⑤ And since, as the Nobel Prize-winning American economist Kenneth Arrow noted, business deals often rely on trust while its absence harms trade, lower levels of trust outside of the family setting might have diminished the level of economic development in southern Italy compared to the north.

* kinship: 친족

Essentially, water is an inexhaustible source because once the water is used to produce electricity, it is usually returned to its original river or reservoir.

 

(A) With this data and the amount of potential future locations for hydroelectric power plants, the cost to retrofit the existing dams would be able to pay for themselves in just a short time. However, these attempts are complicated by the push for additional dam removals by local and national environmental groups.

(B) Only 2,400 out of 80,000 dams in the U.S. currently produce electricity from hydroelectric power plants. Many of these existing dams could have advanced technologies installed to produce energy and increase efficiency. A study performed by the U.S. Department of Energy calculated that it would cost approximately ＄1,600 per kilowatt to add turbines to dams that currently lack electricity capabilities.

(C) Because of this, hydropower has great potential now and also into the future. Only 20 percent of hydroelectric potential has been developed within the United States; tapping into this potential, however, is often hindered by unsuitable terrains and large distances from needing communities. In addition, future projects do not necessarily require new locations or dams.

* reservoir: 저수지 ** retrofit: 새로 (장비를) 장착하다 *** hydropower: 수력 전기

It sometimes happens ① [that the many make a worse decision than the individual]. Collective intelligence has its counterpart: collective stupidity. In groups, our capacity for good judgment can be ② severely reduced. In his studies on group norms, the psychologist Solomon Asch long ago addressed many well-known instances of this phenomenon. To name one: if a majority of people embrace a manifestly false and idiotic theory, others will go along with it merely because of the power of conformity. To name another instance: the false virtues of brainstorming. Take a group of ten people and make them ③ work together for half an hour on a project (like tourism slogans to promote a town, for example). At the same time, set another group to work ④ which each member works separately on the task. Gather up their reports: the proposals of the second group ⑤ are much richer and more plentiful than the proposals of the first group. Put another way, sometimes the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

* manifestly: 분명히 ** idiotic: 멍청한

[지문] 11~12 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

In 1970, the Danish economist Ester Boserup hypothesised that variations in present-day attitudes towards the role of women in the workforce were a product of methods of cultivation in the pre-industrial era. Her argument was that, owing to (a) differences in the nature of the soil and the prevailing crops across regions, farmers in some areas cultivated their fields with hoes and rakes, whereas in others they used ploughs harnessed to horses or oxen. Since using a plough and controlling the animals that pull it requires massive upper-body strength, men have had a significant physiological advantage over women in ploughing and women in these regions have been (b) limited to housework during the course of human history. It was largely the (c) suitability of land for the use of the plough, Boserup argued, that led to the division of labour along gender lines.

Evidence from agricultural societies across the world (d) contradicts Boserup’s argument. Areas that used the plough have consistently had a greater division of labour within the household: men have been predominantly engaged in agriculture, whereas women have been mainly confined to housework. In regions that made use of hoes and rakes, meanwhile, men and women have tended to (e) share the farm work — from land preparation to sowing and harvesting, as well as other tasks, such as ferrying water, milking cows, or collecting firewood — although most household work has remained predominantly in the domain of women.

* hoe: 괭이 ** harness: (마구 등을) 채우다, 매다

Tip for finding answers: Evidence from agricultural societies across the world (d) contradicts Boserup’s argument.

Boserup의 주장의 주장은 도구에 의해 성별에 따른 노동의 분배가 이루어졌다. 농업사회에서 쟁기를 사용하는 지역과 괭이와 갈퀴를 사용하는 지역에서 여성들이 하는 일에 차이가 보였다. 같은 내용으로 contradicts를 supports로 바꿔야 한다.
