2005-2 중앙대 편입영어 출제경향

독해 지문과 문항 수 늘고

어휘, 문법은 평이하게 출제

지난 10일에 실시된 중앙대 편입 영어는 대체적으로 지난 학기에 출제된 문제 유형과 수준이 거의 비슷했다.

전체 문항수와 문항별 배점은 같았지만, 파트별 문항 수에 변동이 있었다.

문법 7문항, 어휘 10문항, 논리완성 11문항, 그리고 독해 12문항으로 구성되었다.

문법은 모두 ‘어법상 적절치 못한 것 고르기’로 비교적 쉬운 편이었다.

어휘 역시 편입 수험생이라면 자주 접해봤을 단어들이었다. 잘 쓰이지 않는 단어와 숙어 표현이 있었지만 문맥상 의미만 파악하면 답을 고를 수 있는 수준이었다.

논리완성의 전체비중은 예년에 비해 다소 줄었지만, 배점이 높은 3점짜리 문제가 오히려 늘었다.

독해의 지문 수와 문항이 늘었다. 문항 당 배점은 2.5점으로 예년과 변함이 없었다. 지문의 길이는 150-200개 단어로 구성된 중문들로 유형은 혼합형이었다. ‘주제, 빈칸 완성, 내용 일치, 밑줄 친 부분의 뜻, 추론’ 등이 다양하게 출제되었다. 지문의 내용은 인문사회 파트 내에서 다양하게 출제되었고, ‘스트레스 해소와 건강, 대학 생활에서의 시험, 온라인 뱅킹, 게이머에 대한 잘못된 고정관념, 엔돌핀 생성, 고대 아메리카 문명’등이었다.

Until recently it was generally believed that to maintain good health people should strive to avoid stressors in their lives. Such a strategy can be quite limiting, however. The desire to avoid stress may also cause people to avoid potentially beneficial changes in their lives, such as job changes or promotions. Moreover, the attempt to avoid stress is often _____________. For example, how can a person avoid such shocks as a parent's death? In fact, if people do not confront a certain amount of stress in their lives, they will end up being bored and unstimulated, which can also be physically harmful. In the last analysis, each person needs to come to terms with stress in his or her own way, sometimes trying to avoid it, but sometimes accepting it or even seeking it out as a challenge to be mastered.

Almost every college student has experienced prefinals terror. Few escape those final-exam jitters because everyone knows just how much is riding on that one exam, often more than half of the course grade. Yet therein lies the crux of the problem. Infrequent high-stake exams don't encourage students to do their best work. More frequent tests--given, say, every two or three weeks--would be a much more effective method of discovering how well students are or are not mastering course concepts. With more frequent testing, students would be less anxious when they take exams; thus anxiety would no longer interfere with exam performance. More frequent testing also encourages students to review on a regular basis, something that a one-shot final exam does not do. Lots of tests also mean lots of feedback, and students would know early on in the course what terms or concepts required additional explanation and review. They wouldn't have to wait until the end of the semester to find out that they had misunderstood, or missed altogether, a critical point or theory.

31. 위 글의 주장을 가장 잘 표현한 것을 고르시오.

1) High-stake exams offer a desirable way of testing.

2) More frequent tests are better than one or two high-stake exams.

3) Every college student has to prepare for final exams in advance.

4) A one-shot final exam gives students a chance to review on a regular basis.

32. 위 글의 내용과 가장 일치하는 것을 고르시오.

1) College students are not much concerned about frequent tests.

2) College students prefer to be tested once a semester.

3) The more frequent tests students have, the more anxious they get.

4) Frequent testing helps students understand course concepts.

  At the online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on products such as credit cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically, and even e-mail questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customers whom banks most want to keep--people who are young, well-educated, and have good incomes.

  Online banking may not be appropriate for everyone. For instance, many people do not have computers at home. Other people prefer to go to the bank and handle their accounts in the traditional way. Even though online banking may never completely replace a walk-in bank, it is a service that many customers are going to want to use.

33. 밑줄 친 the traditional way와 가장 관련이 깊은 것을 고르시오.

1) to stand in line to deposit money

2) to transfer money at one's own office

3) to check the account balance on the Internet

4) to apply for loans without walking to the bank

34. 위 글의 내용과 가장 일치하는 것을 고르시오.

1) Everyone is not satisfied with online banking.

2) Many people want to do banking on the phone.

3) A walk-in bank will completely disappear soon.

4) Offline loans increasingly appeal to bank customers.

  A common stereotype about gamers is that they possibly have emotional problems. Many video games are violent, so gamers might be influenced by that violence. They may start to feel that it is okay to use violence in real life. Further, gamers spend too much time in the false worlds of their games. The result is that they can no longer recognize the real world. They may come to believe that they are characters in a game. The result of this could be violence or destruction of property, either real or through computer hacking.

  Of course, these views are only stereotypes, although a few gamers may be this way. A recent study found that most gamers are the same as normal people. According to the survey, both gamers and non-gamers spent the same amount of time doing different kinds of activities, like studying and exercising. Gamers did not spend all their times playing games. They did not spend all their time alone, either. Most of the gamers in the survey lived normal lives and had normal friends. For them, gaming was one of many __________ activities.

35. 위 글에 근거하여 gamers에 대한 stereotype으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

1) They are experts in technology.

2) They are not influenced by violence.

3) They are never boring to other people.

4) They spend too much time in virtual reality.

  Music can be a great energizer, boosting energy levels and rousing the spirit. By studying different kinds of music and their effects on the brain, we now know that listening to certain types of music, especially when dancing, can give you an immediate natural high.

  Music promotes endorphins. They are the brain's own natural highs, released when you are happy or excited. When scientists at the research center in California had people listen to various kinds of music, almost half the listeners reported feelings of euphoria, one of the signs of endorphins at work. To test this theory, the scientists injected listeners with naloxone, which blocks the brain's endorphin receptors. As a result, the listeners experienced far less euphoria, proving that music does boost endorphins.  

  Both dancing and exercise, even without music, also promote endorphins in the brain, resulting in the well-known 'runner's high.' Research has proven that people who don't exercise are much more likely to suffer from low moods and depression than those who do. So pick up your running shoes, or even better, your dancing shoes. Music, coupled with dancing, is one of the best highs of them all.

37. 위 글의 내용과 가장 일치하는 것을 고르시오.

1) Hard Exercise blocks endorphins.

2) Noisy Music can lower energy levels.

3) Exercise prevents us from feeling depressed.

4) Endorphins are not usually promoted by dancing.

38. 위 글에서 제안하는 내용으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

1) Dance with music.

2) Keep your brain busy.

3) Try not to be stressed out.

4) Exercise with other sports enthusiasts.

In the 12th century the Toltec were vanquished and dispersed by the Chichimeca, who took over the Toltec civilization. A century later, seven allied Nahuatlan tribes entered the valley from the north, probably coming from areas now in New Mexico and Arizona. In 1325 the Aztec, or Mexica, the leading tribe, founded a settlement named Tenochtitlán in an area surrounded by marshes in Texcoco, one of the valley lakes. As the settlement grew, its military strength was increased by the construction of causeways that dammed the waters of the surrounding marshes and made the town a virtually impregnable island fortress.

  Under Itzcoatl, the first Aztec emperor (1360-1440), the Aztec extended their influence through the entire Valley of Mexico, becoming the preeminent power in central and southern Mexico by the 15th century. Their civilization, based on that of the Toltec and Chichimeca, was highly developed, both intellectually and artistically. The Aztec economy was dependent on agriculture, particularly the cultivation of corn. As they grew wealthy and powerful, the Aztec built great cities and developed an intricate social, political, and religious organization.

Few escape those final-exam jitters because everyone knows just how much is riding on that one exam, often more than half of the course grade. Yet therein lies the crux of the problem. Infrequent high-stake exams don't encourage students to do their best work. More frequent tests--given, say, every two or three weeks--would be a much more effective method of discovering how well students are or are not mastering course concepts. With more frequent testing, students would be less anxious when they take exams; thus anxiety would no longer interfere with exam performance. More frequent testing also encourages students to review on a regular basis, something that a one-shot final exam does not do. Lots of tests also mean lots of feedback, and students would know early on in the course what terms or concepts required additional explanation and review. They wouldn't have to wait until the end of the semester to find out that they had misunderstood, or missed altogether, a critical point or theory.

  At the online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on products such as credit cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically, and even e-mail questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customers whom banks most want to keep--people who are young, well-educated, and have good incomes.

  Online banking may not be appropriate for everyone. For instance, many people do not have computers at home. Other people prefer to go to the bank and handle their accounts in the traditional way. Even though online banking may never completely replace a walk-in bank, it is a service that many customers are going to want to use.

31. 밑줄 친 the traditional way와 가장 관련이 깊은 것을 고르시오.

1) to stand in line to deposit money

  A common stereotype about gamers is that they possibly have emotional problems. Many video games are violent, so gamers might be influenced by that violence. They may start to feel that it is okay to use violence in real life. Further, gamers spend too much time in the false worlds of their games. The result is that they can no longer recognize the real world. They may come to believe that they are characters in a game. The result of this could be violence or destruction of property, either real or through computer hacking.

  Of course, these views are only stereotypes, although a few gamers may be this way. A recent study found that most gamers are the same as normal people. According to the survey, both gamers and non-gamers spent the same amount of time doing different kinds of activities, like studying and exercising. Gamers did not spend all their times playing games. They did not spend all their time alone, either. Most of the gamers in the survey lived normal lives and had normal friends. For them, gaming was one of many            activities.

  Music can be a great energizer, boosting energy levels and rousing the spirit. By studying different kinds of music and their effects on the brain, we now know that listening to certain types of music, especially when dancing, can give you an immediate natural high.

  Music promotes endorphins. They are the brain's own natural highs, released when you are happy or excited. When scientists at the research center in California had people listen to various kinds of music, almost half the listeners reported feelings of euphoria, one of the signs of endorphins at work. To test this theory, the scientists injected listeners with naloxone, which blocks the brain's endorphin receptors. As a result, the listeners experienced far less euphoria, proving that music does boost endorphins.  

  Both dancing and exercise, even without music, also promote endorphins in the brain, resulting in the well-known "runner's high." Research has proven that people who don't exercise are much more likely to suffer from low moods and depression than those who do. So pick up your running shoes, or even better, your dancing shoes. Music, coupled with dancing, is one of the best highs of them all.

37. 위 글의 내용과 가장 일치하는 것을 고르시오.

1) Hard Exercise blocks endorphins.

2) Noisy Music can lower energy levels.

3) Exercise prevents us from feeling depressed.

4) Endorphins are not usually promoted by dancing.

38. 위 글에서 제안하는 내용으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

1) Dance with music.

   In the 12th century the Toltec were vanquished and dispersed by the Chichimeca, who took over the Toltec civilization. A century later, seven allied Nahuatlan tribes entered the valley from the north, probably coming from areas now in New Mexico and Arizona. In 1325 the Aztec, or Mexica, the leading tribe, founded a settlement named Tenochtitlán in an area surrounded by marshes in Texcoco, one of the valley lakes. As the settlement grew, its military strength was increased by the construction of causeways that dammed the waters of the surrounding marshes and made the town a virtually impregnable island fortress.

  Under Itzcoatl, the first Aztec emperor (1360-1440), the Aztec extended their influence through the entire Valley of Mexico, becoming the preeminent power in central and southern Mexico by the 15th century. Their civilization, based on that of the Toltec and Chichimeca, was highly developed, both intellectually and artistically. The Aztec economy was dependent on agriculture, particularly the cultivation of corn. As they grew wealthy and powerful, the Aztec built great cities and developed an intricate social, political, and religious organization.
