The Note

Marcus's hands wouldn't stop shaking. In exactly four minutes, he would have to stand in front of twenty-six classmates and explain his science project on ocean currents, and his stomach felt like it had swapped places with his lungs. He had practiced in the mirror a dozen times, but the mirror had never stared back at him the way Kevin Alvarez, sitting front row with his arms crossed, definitely would.

He was still running through his opening line — Did you know the ocean has rivers inside it? — when something landed lightly on his desk. A folded scrap of paper, torn from the corner of someone's notebook.

He unfolded it under the desk, careful not to let Mr. Reyes notice. In small, careful handwriting, it said: You explained this to me at lunch and it was actually really cool. You've got this.

Marcus glanced sideways. Priya, who sat two seats over and rarely said more than a few words to anyone, was already looking back down at her own notebook, pretending she hadn't done anything at all.

"Marcus?" Mr. Reyes said. "Whenever you're ready."

Marcus stood up. His hands were still shaking a little, but the note was folded in his fist like a tiny, secret anchor. He looked out at the class, found Priya's desk, and began: "Did you know the ocean has rivers inside it?"

By the third sentence, he had almost forgotten to be nervous at all.
  1. 1. (쉬움) How does Marcus feel at the beginning of the passage?
    A. bored and uninterested
    B. extremely nervous
    C. angry at his teacher

    D. She is warning Marcus that Mr. Reyes is upset with him.
  3. 3. (보통) What happens immediately after Marcus reads the note?
    A. He writes a note back to Priya.
    B. Mr. Reyes calls on him to begin his presentation.
    C. He decides not to give his presentation.
    D. Kevin Alvarez laughs at him.
  4. 4. (어려움) Which sentence best states the theme of the passage?
    A. Science projects are the hardest part of school.
    B. A small act of kindness can help someone find courage.
    C. Students should never talk during class.
    D. The ocean is more interesting than most people realize.
  5. 5. (보통) What does the phrase "the note was folded in his fist like a tiny, secret anchor" most likely suggest?

    B. The note gave Marcus a sense of stability and comfort.
    C. Marcus was planning to throw the note away.

Reporting Category 1 · Reading 비문학 — Argumentative

아래 논증 지문을 읽고 7번~12번 문제에 답하세요. (12번은 두 부분(Part A/B)으로 구성된 서술형 문항입니다.)

Should Middle Schools Have Longer Recess Periods?

Many elementary schools give students twenty or thirty minutes of recess each day, but most middle schools shrink that time to ten minutes or cut it entirely. Some parents and teachers now argue that middle school students need a longer recess period, not a shorter one. They point to research showing that short breaks during the school day improve students' focus and mood for the classes that follow. A study of one Texas school district found that students who had a fifteen-minute recess scored slightly higher on afternoon quizzes than students who had no break at all.

Other educators disagree, arguing that middle school students have more material to cover than elementary students, and that every extra minute of recess is a minute taken away from instruction time that students need to meet state standards. They also point out that unstructured free time can sometimes lead to more conflicts between students rather than fewer.

A possible compromise is what some schools call "brain breaks" — short, structured five-minute breaks built into longer class periods, rather than one long recess. This approach aims to give students the same mental reset that recess provides without removing large blocks of instructional time from the schedule.
  1. 7. (쉬움) What is the main argument made by supporters of longer recess periods?
    A. Recess should replace all classroom instruction.
    B. Short breaks improve students' focus and mood for later classes.
    C. Elementary students need more recess than middle schoolers.
    D. Recess helps students avoid taking quizzes.
  2. 8. (보통) According to the passage, what is one concern educators have about longer recess periods?
    A. Recess is too expensive for schools to provide.
    B. It takes away instructional time needed to meet state standards.
    C. Students do not enjoy outdoor activities.
    D. Recess is only helpful for elementary students.
  3. 9. (보통) What kind of evidence does the passage use to support the claim that recess improves focus?
    A. A personal story from a teacher
    B. A study of a Texas school district
    C. A quotation from a school principal
    D. A comparison to schools in other countries
  4. 10. (어려움) What compromise does the passage describe?
    A. Eliminating recess completely
    B. Short, structured "brain breaks" built into class periods
    C. Giving recess only to students with high grades
    D. Doubling the length of the school day
  5. 11. (쉬움) As used in the passage, the word "unstructured" most nearly means —
    A. carefully planned and organized
    B. not organized or planned
    C. extremely strict
    D. related to building construction
  6. 12. (보통 · 서술형 2점, Part A/B) Part A: What is one reason some educators are against longer recess periods? Part B: Which sentence from the passage best supports your answer to Part A? (직접 서술하는 문항입니다 — 아래 해설에서 예시 답안을 확인하세요.)
    이 문항은 객관식이 아니라 실제 STAAR의 단답형 서술(Short Constructed Response) 형식입니다. Part A와 Part B를 모두 정확히 답해야 2점 만점을 받습니다.

📖 정답 및 해설

  1. B — "his stomach felt like it had swapped places with his lungs"와 같은 표현에서, Marcus가 발표를 앞두고 극도로 긴장하고 있음을 알 수 있습니다.
  2. B — Priya가 건넨 쪽지에는 "You explained this to me at lunch and it was actually really cool. You've got this."라는 응원의 메시지가 담겨 있으므로, 조용히 격려하려는 의도임을 알 수 있습니다.
  3. B — 쪽지를 읽은 직후 "Marcus?" Mr. Reyes said. "Whenever you're ready."라는 문장에서, 선생님이 그를 호명해 발표를 시작하게 함을 알 수 있습니다.
  4. B — 낯선 친구의 작은 쪽지 하나가 Marcus에게 용기를 주었다는 이야기 전체의 흐름에서, 작은 친절이 누군가에게 용기를 줄 수 있다는 주제를 확인할 수 있습니다.
  5. B — 이 비유적 표현은 쪽지가 Marcus에게 심리적인 안정감과 위안을 주었음을 나타냅니다 (닻(anchor)이 배를 고정시키듯, 쪽지가 그의 마음을 붙잡아 주었다는 의미).
  6. B — "He unfolded it under the desk"라는 문맥에서, 접혀 있던 것을 펼쳤다는 의미임을 알 수 있습니다.
  7. B — 지문 초반 "short breaks during the school day improve students' focus and mood for the classes that follow"라는 부분에서 지지자들의 핵심 주장을 확인할 수 있습니다.
  8. B — "every extra minute of recess is a minute taken away from instruction time that students need to meet state standards"라는 문장에서 우려의 핵심을 알 수 있습니다.
  9. B — "A study of one Texas school district found that..."라는 문장에서, 연구 결과라는 근거를 사용하고 있음을 알 수 있습니다.
  10. B — 지문 마지막 부분 "short, structured five-minute breaks built into longer class periods"에서 절충안("brain breaks")을 확인할 수 있습니다.
  11. B — "unstructured free time"이라는 표현에서, 구조화되지 않은(계획되지 않은) 자유 시간을 의미함을 추론할 수 있습니다.
  12. Part A/B (서술형, 2점) — 예시 답안 Part A: "쉬는 시간을 늘리면 주(state) 기준에 맞추기 위해 필요한 수업 시간이 줄어들기 때문이다." Part B 근거 문장: "every extra minute of recess is a minute taken away from instruction time that students need to meet state standards." 채점 기준: Part A와 Part B가 논리적으로 서로 연결되어야 2점 만점이며, 한쪽만 정확하면 부분 점수(1점)를 받는 문항도 있습니다.
  13. B — 원래 문장에는 불필요한 대명사 "it"이 중복으로 들어가 있습니다. B는 이 중복을 제거해 문장을 자연스럽게 고쳤습니다.
  14. B — 문장 3(감정 이해에 도움)과 문장 4(글쓰기 실력 향상)는 저널 쓰기의 또 다른 장점을 추가로 설명하는 관계이므로, 추가를 나타내는 "In addition,"이 가장 적절합니다.
  15. A — A는 관계대명사절(which)을 사용해 두 문장을 자연스럽고 문법적으로 올바르게 결합합니다. B는 논리적으로 맞지 않는 역접 접속사(but), C는 콤마 스플라이스 오류, D는 미완성 문장입니다.
  16. B — 이 문단은 저널 쓰기의 다양한 장점을 설명하고 있으므로, 그 장점들을 아우르는 결론을 제시하는 B가 문단의 흐름과 주제를 가장 잘 뒷받침합니다.
  17. A — "Riverside Nature Center"는 특정 장소를 가리키는 고유명사이므로 대문자로 시작해야 합니다.
  18. A — 주어 "Each group"은 단수이므로 동사도 단수형인 "was"와 일치해야 합니다 (주어-동사 수 일치 오류).
  19. A — "My best friend and I"가 주어이므로 목적격 대명사 "me"가 아닌 주격 대명사 "I"를 써야 합니다.
  20. A — 주어 "We"는 복수이므로 동사도 복수형인 "were"와 일치해야 합니다 (주어-동사 수 일치 오류).
  21. ECR (서술형 에세이, 최대 10점) — 정해진 정답은 없습니다. 높은 점수를 받으려면: (1) 명확한 입장을 글 전체에서 일관되게 유지, (2) 구체적인 예시로 주장 뒷받침, (3) 서론-본론-결론의 명확한 구조, (4) 적절한 전환어 사용, (5) 문법·철자 오류 최소화가 필요합니다.
