The Silk Road Between Us

Elena's stomach sank when Ms. Patterson read the partner list aloud: "Elena and Tomas." Tomas had transferred from Poland only three weeks earlier, and so far he had barely said ten words in class. Their assignment — a poster explaining the ancient Silk Road trade routes — was due Friday, and Elena wasn't sure how they were supposed to plan anything together.

At lunch, Elena tried anyway. She talked slowly about camels and merchants and silk, but Tomas just nodded, his eyes uncertain. Every sentence she offered seemed to drop between them and disappear, like coins tossed into a well with no bottom.

Then Tomas reached into his backpack and pulled out a battered sketchbook. Without a word, he began drawing: a line of camels winding across a desert, tiny bundles of silk balanced on their backs, an arrow pointing toward a walled city. Elena leaned closer, understanding immediately. She grabbed a pencil and added her own mark — a ship, sailing toward the same city from the opposite direction.

For the rest of lunch, neither of them said much. They didn't need to. Tomas sketched merchants trading spices; Elena sketched coins changing hands. Line by line, the pencil became a bridge between them, carrying ideas across the silence that words couldn't cross.

By Friday, their poster was covered in careful drawings, each one labeled in Elena's neat handwriting and Tomas's careful block letters. When they presented it together, Tomas spoke only a few hesitant words — but his drawings said everything else.

    C. She picks up a pencil and adds her own drawing to his.
    D. She translates his drawing into English words.

    D. New students should not be paired with students who already have friends.

The Long Flight of the Monarch

Every fall, millions of monarch butterflies leave their summer homes across the United States and Canada and begin an extraordinary journey. Guided by instinct rather than experience, they travel as far as 3,000 miles to reach the oyamel fir forests of central Mexico, where they spend the winter clustered together on tree branches by the millions.

What makes this migration especially remarkable is that no single butterfly completes the entire round trip. It takes four or five generations of monarchs to finish the full annual cycle — the butterflies that arrive in Mexico each winter are the great-great-grandchildren of the ones that left the year before, yet they somehow find their way to the very same forests.

Scientists have spent decades trying to understand how monarchs manage this feat. Researchers place tiny, lightweight tags on the wings of individual butterflies, each one printed with a unique code. When a tagged monarch is found — sometimes thousands of miles from where it started — volunteers report the location, helping scientists map the insects' routes. Other researchers study the position of the sun and Earth's magnetic field, which monarchs may use like a built-in compass. By combining these methods, scientists have slowly pieced together a clearer picture of one of the animal kingdom's most astonishing journeys.
  1. 7. (쉬움) What is the passage mainly about?
    A. Why monarch butterflies are becoming endangered
    B. How and why monarch butterflies migrate to Mexico and how scientists study their journey
    C. The difference between monarch butterflies and other insects
    D. How to raise monarch butterflies at home
  2. 8. (보통) According to the passage, how far do monarch butterflies travel during migration?
    A. About 300 miles
    B. About 1,000 miles
    C. As far as 3,000 miles
    D. More than 10,000 miles
  3. 9. (어려움) Why does the author most likely mention that it takes four or five generations of monarchs to complete the full migration cycle?
    A. To show that monarch butterflies live longer than most insects
    B. To emphasize how surprising it is that later generations can find the same forests
    C. To explain why scientists cannot study monarch butterflies
    D. To compare monarchs to other migrating animals
  4. 10. (어려움) Based on the passage, what can be concluded about why scientists tag monarch butterflies?
    A. Tagging harms the butterflies and should be stopped.
    B. Tagging allows scientists to track individual butterflies' routes across long distances.
    C. Tagging is the only method scientists use to study monarchs.
    D. Tagging shows that monarchs do not actually migrate to Mexico.
  5. 11. (쉬움) As used in the passage, the word "astonishing" most nearly means —
    A. ordinary and expected
    B. extremely surprising or amazing
    C. dangerous and harmful
    D. slow and boring
  6. 12. (보통 · 서술형 2점, Part A/B) Part A: What is one method scientists use to study monarch butterfly migration? 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 — "Elena's stomach sank" 표현에서 Maya가 파트너 배정 소식에 불안해하고 걱정했음을 알 수 있습니다.
  2. B — Tomas가 말없이 스케치북을 꺼내 그림을 그리기 시작한 것은 언어 장벽에도 불구하고 자신의 생각을 전달하려는 시도였음을 알 수 있습니다.
  3. C — "She grabbed a pencil and added her own mark — a ship, sailing toward the same city from the opposite direction."라는 문장에서, Tomas의 그림에 이어 Maya도 곧바로 자신의 그림을 그렸음을 알 수 있습니다.
  4. B — 언어가 통하지 않아도 그림을 통해 서로 이해하게 되는 이야기 전체 흐름에서, 언어가 달라도 사람들은 소통할 방법을 찾을 수 있다는 주제를 확인할 수 있습니다.
  5. C — 이 비유적 표현은 연필(그림)이 두 사람 사이의 침묵을 넘어 생각을 전달하는 다리 역할을 했다는 의미로, 그림을 통해 서로를 이해하게 되었음을 나타냅니다.
  6. B — "he spoke only a few hesitant words"라는 문맥에서, 확신이 없고 조심스러운 태도를 의미함을 알 수 있습니다.
  7. B — 지문 전체가 제왕나비가 멕시코까지 이동하는 과정과 과학자들이 이를 연구하는 방법을 설명하고 있으므로 B가 중심 내용입니다.
  8. C — "they travel as far as 3,000 miles"라는 문장에서 이동 거리를 확인할 수 있습니다.
  9. B — 네다섯 세대에 걸쳐 이동을 완료한다는 사실을 언급함으로써, 한 번도 그 숲에 가본 적 없는 후손 나비들이 같은 숲을 찾아간다는 점이 얼마나 놀라운지를 강조하고 있습니다.
  10. B — "Researchers place tiny, lightweight tags on the wings of individual butterflies... helping scientists map the insects' routes"라는 내용에서, 태그 부착이 나비의 이동 경로를 추적하는 데 사용됨을 결론지을 수 있습니다.
  11. B — "one of the animal kingdom's most astonishing journeys"라는 문맥에서, 매우 놀랍고 감탄스럽다는 의미임을 알 수 있습니다.
  12. Part A/B (서술형, 2점) — 예시 답안 Part A: "과학자들은 나비 날개에 고유 코드가 적힌 작은 태그를 붙여 이동 경로를 추적한다." Part B 근거 문장: "Researchers place tiny, lightweight tags on the wings of individual butterflies, each one printed with a unique code." 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("Water it helps..."). B는 이 중복을 제거해 문장을 자연스럽게 고쳤습니다.
  14. B — 문장 3(물이 집중력에 도움이 된다는 내용)과 문장 4(수분 부족이 집중력을 해친다는 내용)는 같은 주장을 다른 방식으로 뒷받침하는 관계이므로, 강조·부연을 나타내는 "In fact,"가 가장 적절합니다.
  15. A — A는 관계대명사절(which)을 사용해 두 문장을 자연스럽고 문법적으로 올바르게 결합합니다. B는 논리적으로 맞지 않는 역접 접속사(but), C는 단어를 나열만 한 오류, D는 콤마 스플라이스 오류입니다.
  16. B — 이 문단은 물을 충분히 마시는 것의 다양한 이점을 설명하고 있으므로, 그 내용을 아우르는 결론을 제시하는 B가 문단의 흐름과 주제를 가장 잘 뒷받침합니다.
  17. A — 요일을 나타내는 "tuesday"는 고유명사이므로 "Tuesday"와 같이 대문자로 시작해야 합니다.
  18. A — 주어 "My aunt and uncle"는 복수이므로 동사도 복수형인 "were"와 일치해야 합니다 (주어-동사 수 일치 오류).
  19. A — "My little brother and I"가 주어이므로 목적격 대명사 "me"가 아닌 주격 대명사 "I"를 써야 합니다.
  20. A — 소유를 나타낼 때는 어퍼스트로피(')를 사용해야 하므로 "everyones"를 "everyone's"로 고쳐야 합니다 (소유격 오류).
  21. ECR (설득문 에세이, 최대 10점) — 정해진 정답은 없습니다. 높은 점수를 받으려면: (1) 명확한 설득적 입장을 글 전체에서 일관되게 유지, (2) 구체적인 이유와 예시로 주장 뒷받침, (3) 독자를 설득하는 표현 기법(강조, 수사적 질문 등) 사용, (4) 서론-본론-결론의 명확한 구조, (5) 문법·철자 오류 최소화가 필요합니다.
