There is a wide consensus that global warming results in an intensification of water cycle, with more intense periods of rainfall and the lengthening of dry periods. Most climate models project                in many regions. Models also project a tendency for drying in mid-continental areas during summer, indicating a greater risk of droughts in these regions. In a warmer climate, the models project that rain tends to concentrate in more intense events, with longer periods of low rainfall in between. Therefore, intense and heavy episodic rainfall events with high runoff amounts are followed by longer relatively dry periods. It is also notable that, in relation to changes in mean rainfall, the wet extremes are projected to become more severe in many areas where mean rainfall increases, and the dry extremes are projected to become more severe in areas where mean rainfall decreases.

* episodic 일시적인

➀ more frequent heatwaves	② seasonal rainfall declines

➂ rainfall intensity increases	➃ extended worldwide droughts

➄ a significant slowdown in warming

One of my graduate school advisers, Tom Wallsten, used to say that he wanted to become an expert on wines that cost $15 or less. Tom's idea was that if he started buying fancy $50-a-bottle wines, he would get used to that level of quality and would no longer be able to derive any pleasure from cheaper wines. Moreover, he reasoned that if he started consuming $50 bottles, over time he would have to escalate his spending to $80, $90, and $100 bottles, simply because his taste would have adapted to a higher level of finesse. Finally, he thought that if he never tried $50 bottles in the first place, his taste would be most sensitive to changes in wine quality of varieties in his preferred price range, further increasing his satisfaction. With those arguments in mind, he               , became an expert in $15 wine, and lives very happily that way.

* finesse 피네스 (미묘함과 고상함, 복합성과 우아함을 동시에 지닌 와인을 묘사하는 표현)

➀ kept his spending under control

➁ worked with experienced professionals

➂ focused exclusively on defeating his rivals

➃ learned from others' failures and successes

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, there were few communities in Europe or America with a population larger than a few thousand. One of the consequences of the Industrial Revolution was the development of large urban areas close to factories. Because employment opportunities were limited in rural areas, many workers moved to cities. With such movement, family and kinship ties were broken, and those who were unable to adapt faced alienation, social breakdown, and a loss of community identity. In an attempt to meet the needs of people living in urban areas,             in the 1800s - primarily at the initiation of the clergy and religious groups. Because of the lack of development of public social services, private agencies provided most of the funds and services to the needy until the 1930s.

➁ independent labor organizations were set up

➂ various kinds of convenient facilities were built

➃ private social welfare services began to spring up

➄ a systematic city planning project came into place

I go into the high-ceilinged stacks and wander among the shelves, searching for a book that looks interesting. Gentle early-summer sunlight is shining through the open window, the chatter of birds in the garden filtering in. A shelf farther back contains general humanities - collections of world literature, individual writers, and classics. When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages - a special odor of the knowledge and emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Since the library has just opened for the day, there's no one else there and I have the elegant reading room all to myself. Every once in a while a gentle breeze blows in through the open window, the white curtain rustling softly in air that has a hint of the sea.

➀ tense and urgent	➁ noisy and festive

➂ quiet and peaceful	➃ scary and frightening

➄ solemn and sorrowful

A 2001 report reviewed eighty-one research projects conducted over fifteen years and failed to find any new (A)[benefits / risks] to human health posed by genetically modified crops. Genetically modified foods are no more dangerous than "natural" foods because they are not fundamentally different from natural foods. Virtually every animal and vegetable has been "genetically modified" far millennia by selective breeding. Plants do not have any particular desire to be eaten, so they did not go out of their way to be tasty, healthy, or easy for us to grow and harvest. On the conrary, they did go out of their way to (B)[prevent / protect] us from eating them, by evolving irritants, toxins, and bitter-tasting compounds. So there is nothing especially safe about natural foods. The "natural" method of selective breeding for pest resistance simply (C)[increase / reduces] the concentration of the plant's own poisons.

One of the problems of our time is that there are few effective memes for self-restraint left. For most people the notion of sin is hopelessly ① old-fashioned, and secular attempts to channel energy into complex goals - such as the concept of good citizenship, of professional pride, of law and order, of disciplined responsibility - have also ② gained much of their grip on human consciousness. Yet the need to help individuals see the necessity for self-discipline is as ➂ urgent as ever. Perhaps if we understood that to determine the course of the future we require all our attention, every last spark of psychic energy, we would be more willing to ➃ restrain the natural greed of the self, and heed the call of complexity. After all, it's not a ⑤bad bargain. In exchange for the unnecessary rewards of pleasure, we gain the always exciting joys of spiritual growth.

* meme 모방을 통해서 다음 세대로 전달되는 문화의 요소

Many of us believe that amnesia, or sudden memory loss, results in the inability to recall one's name and identity. This belief may reflect the way amnesia is usually portrayed in movies, television, and literature. _____(A)_____ when we meet MattDamon's character in the movie The Bourne Identity, we learn that he has no memory for who he is, why he has the skills he does, or where he is from. He spends much of the movie trying to answer these questions. _____(B)_____ the inability to remember your name and identity is exceedingly rare in reality. Amnesia most often results from a brain injury that leaves the victim unable to form new memories, but with most memories of the past intact. Some movies do accurately portray this more common syndrome; our favorite Memento.
