The Ninth Day

Zara had wanted a dog her whole life, but when her family finally brought one home from the shelter, he wasn't the bouncing, tail-wagging puppy she had pictured. Ranger was a medium-sized mutt with graying fur around his muzzle, and the moment they stepped through the front door, he pressed himself flat against the wall, as still as a shadow, and refused to move.

"He's scared," Zara's mom said. "The shelter told us he was found wandering alone for weeks before someone brought him in. Give him time."

Time was not something Zara was good at giving. She had imagined a dog who would run to greet her after school and curl up beside her on the couch. Instead, for the first few days, Ranger hid under the kitchen table whenever anyone entered the room.

Zara tried something new. Every afternoon, she sat cross-legged on the kitchen floor, several feet from the table, and simply read her book out loud. She didn't reach for him. She didn't call his name. She just let her voice fill the quiet kitchen.

On the ninth day, Ranger crept out from under the table and lay down two feet from her sneakers. On the fourteenth day, he rested his chin on her knee. By the end of the month, he waited by the door each afternoon, ears perked, tail sweeping the floor whenever her key turned in the lock.

Zara finally understood that trust, like water, could not be poured in all at once. It had to fill slowly, drop by drop, until it finally reached the top.
  1. 1. (쉬움) How does Ranger most likely feel when he first arrives at Zara's house?
    A. excited and playful
    B. frightened and unsure
    C. angry and aggressive
    D. bored and tired
  2. 2. (보통) What does the comparison of trust to water filling a cup "drop by drop" best represent in the passage?
    A. Trust can be measured in exact amounts.
    B. Trust between Zara and Ranger grows slowly over time, not all at once.
    C. Water is Ranger's favorite thing at the shelter.
    D. Trust disappears quickly once it is broken.
  3. 3. (보통) Which event happens first in the passage?
    A. Ranger rests his chin on Zara's knee.
    B. Ranger waits by the door with his tail sweeping the floor.
    C. Ranger presses himself flat against the wall.
    D. Ranger lies down two feet from Zara's sneakers.
  4. 4. (어려움) Which sentence best states the theme of the passage?
    A. Shelter dogs are usually more difficult to train than puppies.
    B. Earning another's trust often requires patience rather than force.
    C. Reading aloud is the best way to calm a nervous animal.
    D. Older dogs are always better companions than younger ones.
  5. 5. (보통) What does the phrase "as still as a shadow" suggest about Ranger when he first enters the house?
    A. He blended into the wall so well that no one could see him.
    B. He stood completely motionless, showing how frightened he was.
    C. He was following Zara's every move around the house.
    D. He was dark in color like a shadow.
  6. 6. (쉬움) As used in the passage, the word "crept" most nearly means —
    A. jumped suddenly
    B. moved slowly and carefully
    C. barked loudly
    D. fell asleep

Should Middle School Students Use Calculators on All Math Tests?

Many math teachers currently allow calculators only on certain tests, requiring students to solve most problems by hand. Some parents and students argue that this policy should change, and that calculators should be permitted on every math test. They point out that in the real world, professionals in almost every field use calculators, computers, or phones to handle calculations, so students should learn to use these tools well instead of avoiding them. A survey of one middle school found that students who used calculators regularly completed word problems faster and made fewer small arithmetic mistakes than students who worked entirely by hand.

Other teachers disagree, arguing that students first need to master basic arithmetic without a calculator so that they truly understand how numbers work. They worry that relying on calculators too early can prevent students from building number sense, a skill they will need for more advanced math later on.

A possible middle ground is to allow calculators only on tests that focus on multi-step word problems, while keeping basic computation tests calculator-free. This approach would let students practice raw number skills while still using calculators for the more complex problems they are likely to face in the real world.
  1. 7. (쉬움) What is the main argument made by those who support calculators on every math test?
    A. Calculators should never be allowed in school.
    B. Calculators should be allowed on every test because students will use similar tools in the real world.
    C. Students should only use calculators in science class.
    D. Teachers should stop giving math tests altogether.
  2. 8. (보통) According to the passage, what is one concern teachers have about allowing calculators on every test?
    A. Calculators are too expensive for schools to buy.
    B. Relying on calculators too early may prevent students from building number sense.
    C. Calculators are too difficult for students to learn to use.
    D. Students already understand arithmetic perfectly well.
  3. 9. (어려움) What kind of evidence does the passage use to support the claim that calculators help students with word problems?
    A. A quotation from a mathematician
    B. A survey of one middle school
    C. A personal story about a famous scientist
    D. A comparison with schools in another country
  4. 10. (어려움) What compromise does the passage describe?
    A. Banning calculators from school completely
    B. Allowing calculators only on tests with multi-step word problems, while keeping basic computation tests calculator-free
    C. Giving every student a personal calculator to keep forever
    D. Replacing all math tests with computer programs
  5. 11. (쉬움) As used in the passage, the phrase "number sense" most nearly means —
    A. a fear of numbers
    B. an intuitive understanding of how numbers and quantities work
    C. the ability to memorize number facts quickly
    D. a type of calculator function
  6. 12. (보통 · 서술형 2점, Part A/B) Part A: What is one reason some teachers are against allowing calculators on every math test? Part B: Which sentence from the passage best supports your answer to Part A? (직접 서술하는 문항입니다 — 아래 해설에서 예시 답안을 확인하세요.)

📖 정답 및 해설

  1. B — "he pressed himself flat against the wall, as still as a shadow, and refused to move"라는 문장에서, Ranger가 낯선 환경에 몹시 겁을 먹고 있음을 알 수 있습니다.
  2. B — "trust... could not be poured in all at once. It had to fill slowly, drop by drop"라는 비유는 Maya와 Ranger 사이의 신뢰가 한 번에 생기는 것이 아니라 시간이 지나며 서서히 쌓인다는 것을 상징합니다.
  3. C — Ranger가 처음 집에 들어왔을 때 "pressed himself flat against the wall"한 장면이 지문에서 가장 먼저 일어난 사건이며, 이후 아홉째 날, 열넷째 날, 한 달 뒤 순서로 신뢰가 쌓여 갑니다.
  4. B — Maya가 조급해하지 않고 매일 조용히 책을 읽어주며 서서히 Ranger의 마음을 얻는 이야기 전체의 흐름에서, 누군가의 신뢰를 얻으려면 강요가 아닌 인내가 필요하다는 주제를 확인할 수 있습니다.
  5. B — "as still as a shadow"라는 직유는 Ranger가 두려움 때문에 완전히 움직이지 않고 얼어붙어 있었음을 나타냅니다.
  6. B — "Ranger crept out from under the table"이라는 문맥에서, 조심스럽게 천천히 나왔다는 의미임을 알 수 있습니다.
  7. B — 지문 초반 "professionals in almost every field use calculators... so students should learn to use these tools well"라는 부분에서 지지자들의 핵심 주장을 확인할 수 있습니다.
  8. B — "relying on calculators too early can prevent students from building number sense"라는 문장에서 반대 측의 핵심 우려를 알 수 있습니다.
  9. B — "A survey of one middle school found that students who used calculators regularly completed word problems faster..."라는 문장에서, 설문조사(survey) 결과를 근거로 사용하고 있음을 알 수 있습니다.
  10. B — 지문 마지막 부분 "allow calculators only on tests that focus on multi-step word problems, while keeping basic computation tests calculator-free"에서 절충안을 확인할 수 있습니다.
  11. B — "number sense"는 숫자와 양이 어떻게 작동하는지에 대한 직관적인 이해를 뜻하는 표현입니다.
  12. Part A/B (서술형, 2점) — 예시 답안 Part A: "계산기에 너무 일찍 의존하면 수 감각(number sense)을 기르지 못할 수 있기 때문이다." Part B 근거 문장: "They worry that relying on calculators too early can prevent students from building number sense, a skill they will need for more advanced math later on." 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(운동 효과)과 문장 4(기분·에너지 향상)는 야외 활동의 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 야외 활동의 다양한 장점을 설명하고 있으므로, 그 장점들을 아우르는 결론을 제시하는 B가 문단의 흐름과 주제를 가장 잘 뒷받침합니다.
  17. A — "Friday"는 요일을 나타내는 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 lab partner and I"가 주어이므로 목적격 대명사 "me"가 아닌 주격 대명사 "I"를 써야 합니다.
  20. A — "planetariums"는 소유격이 필요한 자리이므로 아포스트로피를 추가해 "planetarium's"로 고쳐야 합니다 (소유격 표기 오류).
  21. ECR (서술형 편지글, 최대 10점) — 정해진 정답은 없습니다. 높은 점수를 받으려면: (1) 편지 전체에서 명확한 입장을 일관되게 유지, (2) 구체적인 이유로 주장 뒷받침, (3) 인사말·본문·맺음말 등 편지 형식에 맞는 명확한 구조, (4) 적절한 전환어 사용, (5) 문법·철자 오류 최소화가 필요합니다.
