1. 다음 글의 목적으로 가장 적절한 것은?

I read "The Body Engineers" in your July issue hoping for a variety of perspectives on hormone research and aging, and I was not disappointed.  However, some opinions concerned me, as they are representative of what doctors have been telling me to get me to stop hormone replacement therapy.  It is unreasonable and unfair for the medical community to conclude that because some hormones may increase the risk of certain health problems, almost no one should take them. Many people may benefit from hormone therapy without developing problems. Perhaps doctors should pay more attention to risks versus benefits for individual patients rather than making global generalizations. I hope there is a middle ground between viewing aging as a disease where every "symptom" is to be prevented or eradicated, and viewing it as a totally natural process for which nothing is to be done.

2. 밑줄 친 he[He]가 가리키는 대상이 나머지 넷과 다른 것은?

I am the mother of a very intelligent fifth grader. He consistently scores in the 99th percentile on standardized school tests in math, language and science, but ① he has dome very real "self-worth" problems. My husband, who is also an intelligent person, felt his parents never valued intellect and ② he has overcompensated with our son in attempting to praise him for "being smart." Over the past years, I have suspected this was causing a problem, because my son, while ③ he easily excels in school, is reluctant to take on more difficult work or projects because then he would think he's not smart. ④ He projects an over-inflated view of his abilities and claims he can perform better than others (both intellectually and in physical activities), but will not attempt such activities, because of course, in his failure ⑤ he would be shattered.

3. 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은?

Inventors often have to persist at their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too ① poorly to be useful. That makes it difficult for an inventor ② to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus warrant more time and expense to develop it. Each year, the united States issues about 70,000 patents, only ③ a few of which ultimately reach the stage of commercial production. For each great invention that ultimately found a use, there are countless others that did not. Even inventions that meet the need ④ which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While Kames Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) ⑤ propelling locomotives and boats.

It seemed that all of the previous magnificence of the Byzantine Empire had disappeared until Emperor Justinian took the throne. Under his rule, the Byzantine Empire improved in several ways. Justinian helped his people by recovering the lands that had once been part of the Roman Empire, many of which had fallen into the hands of invaders from the north. Justinian was tired of paying off the invaders in order to keep them at bay. He decided it was time to recover the lands. With the help of General Belisarius, the areas in Northern Africa were quickly taken back in 533. In 536, Justinian sent Belisarius to fight in Italy. Though outnumbered in battle, the general was victorious.

5. 다음 글에서 전체 흐름과 관계 없는 문장은?

In almost all countries, nuclear energy has been incorrectly packaged as "clean, renewable energy" simply because it produces no carbon emissions.  This may be true, but it is also a fact that nuclear power plants produce a by-product that is far dangerous than carbon: live radioactive waste. Although not widely known, nuclear power plants must shut down approximately every eighteen months to replace their fuel rods. The old fuel rods contain short-lived, low-level poisons as well as a highly toxic, radioactive material called Np-237, which has a half-life of more than two million years. Today we produce the "equivalent of one-hundred two-level buses" of nuclear waste every year - waste that has to be stored somewhere.

6. 다음 글에서 필자가 주장하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은?

What teenagers are not good at is fully understanding the consequences of what they are doing, in the eyes of society as a whole. And this is where teaching(in the broadest sense of the word) comes in. They need to know when it would be appropriate to text and when it would not be. They need to know when textisms, the languages used in text messages, characterized by the use of abbreviations, single letters and symbols, are effective and when they are not. They need to appreciate the range of social reactions which texting, in its various forms, can elicit. This knowledge is slowly acquired from parents, peers, and teachers. Teenagers have to learn to manage this new behavior, as indeed do we all. For one thing is certain: texting is not going to go away in the foreseeable future.

7. 다음 글의 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?

I was attending an all-day sales seminar and was anxious to shake hands with our sales manager, who had delivered an inspiring speech. After waiting in line for three hours, it was finally my turn to meet him. He never even looked at me. Instead he looked over my shoulder to see how much longer the line was. He wasn't even aware that he was shaking my hand. And although I realized how tired he must have been. I, too, had been there for three hours and just as tired! I was hurt and offended because he had treated me as if I didn't even exist. Right on the spot I made a decision that if I ever became someone whom people waited in line to shake hands with, I'd give the person in front of me ____________________ - no matter how tired I was!

③ generous donation	④ undivided attention

We all know how the media                 . Once when the head of the Swedish Lutheran Church  came to America for a conference, he was warned to watch what he said to reporters. Sure enough, as he got off the plane, a group of news reporters met him and one of them asked, "Do you intend to visit any beer joints in New York?" The bishop smiled innocently and asked, "Are there any beer joints in New York?" The next morning when he opened his paper, he realized what the warnings meant, because the story about his arrival said, "When the bishop stepped off the plane, his first words on American  soil were, 'Are there any beer joints in New York?'"
