[문제] 8 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것은?

Simple organisms like bacteria use general algorithms <built into their genomes to assess trends>. For example, E. coli have algorithms that say it is ① wasteful to produce the enzymes for processing lactose when there isn’t much lactose about. These rules have been installed in the organism’s genome over millions of generations by natural selection and have ② persisted because individuals that inherited this algorithm were more likely to survive and reproduce. But in order to know when to apply the rules, bacteria also need knowledge of what is going on right now. Are lactose levels rising or falling? ③ Identifying trends requires sensors. But it also requires some form of memory so you can compare the situation now with the situation a moment ago. Indeed, it may be that memory ④ exists primarily to enable future thinking. Recent neurological studies have shown that in organisms with nervous systems, memory and future thinking are handled by ⑤ different parts of the brain, which may explain why people who lose the ability to remember vividly also lose the ability to imagine alternative futures.

* E. coli: 대장균 ** enzyme: 효소 *** lactose: 젖당

[문제] 9 글의 흐름으로 보아, 주어진 문장이 들어가기에 가장 적절한 곳은?

The city authorities have viewed these markets as components of the city’s degraded living conditions.

 

Despite the significant importance of marketplaces as the core of economic and sociocultural transactions in the city, local authorities often tend to problematise them as unhygienic and unhealthy urban environments. ( ① ) Early examples of this situation were in the major European cities in the mid-19th century, where poverty, overpopulation and pollution were the main problems in inner-city areas. ( ② ) For example, in London, street markets were a part of the vivid urban scene in the 19th century supplying cheap food and products. ( ③ ) However, they were unorganised and naturally growing. ( ④ ) They introduced structural spatial changes to address this problem, including removing street markets and developing new and enlarged indoor marketplaces. ( ⑤ ) These new indoor markets functioned as an urban renewal tool as well, as their construction required the demolition of existing building blocks and reorganisation of streets.

* unhygienic: 비위생적인 ** demolition: 철거

[문제] 10 다음 글의 내용을 한 문장으로 요약하고자 한다. 빈칸 (A), (B)에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?

It is interesting to note that out of all of the species that have ever existed on the Earth, only one has had complex intelligence. One could argue that this is naturally the case, since only one species could be the first to develop intelligence and the existence of that species might preclude another intelligent species from ever developing. This is a false argument, however. A better comparison comes about from noting that, through the last few hundred million years, there have been a large number of species that might have evolved into intelligent creatures but did not. If intelligence is such a beneficial trait, allowing a species to compete more effectively in its environment, then one might expect that many different species would develop intelligence. Birds have existed longer than mammals, and they did not develop intelligence. Dinosaurs reigned for over 100 million years and there is no evidence to suggest that they might have developed intelligence. Out of all of the species that might have developed intelligence, only one did.

* preclude: 못하게 하다 ** reign: 군림하다

↓

For all the species that have ever existed, the development of intelligence has been a (A)              event, suggesting that the presence of this trait is not necessarily (B)             for a species to compete better in its environment.

            (A)                                    (B)

① sole                  ……      essential

② sole                   ……     burdensome

③ groundbreaking ……    essential

④ time-consuming ……    attainable

⑤ time-consuming ……    burdensome

[문제] 11 (A), (B), (C)의 각 네모 안에서 문맥에 맞는 낱말로 가장 적절한 것은?

Among vertebrates, birds are among the most (A) accomplished / inexperienced of architects. In some cases, as in several African weaver bird species, males alone build the nest and use the finished product to advertise for a female, and when one is willing to approach, she will examine it in detail and then decide whether to take the male as her partner. Weaver nests are not tied to branches but free-hanging intricate structures that have only a small opening. The male first has to pass the test regarding the quality of the nest site, and if she is satisfied, the partner comes as part of the package. The female behaves more like a tenant and does not even look at him but will (B) construct / inspect the nest very thoroughly. Consideration is first and foremost given to the nest site and its quality and the territory (where applicable). This may seem a little callous, but the fact that the male is able to build such a nest or have a good territory is a (C) denial / statement of desirable qualities, experience and assets.

* vertebrate: 척추동물 ** weaver: 베짜기 새 *** callous: 냉담한

             (A)                     (B)                 (C)

① accomplished …… construct …… denial

② accomplished …… inspect   …… denial

③ accomplished …… inspect   …… statement

④ inexperienced …… inspect   …… denial

⑤ inexperienced …… construct …… statement
