18. 다음 글에서 교육에 대하여 필자가 궁극적으로 주장하는 바로 적절한 것은?

Nowadays our government has been adopting many measures to decrease the study load on pupils. They have set certain hours for students in different grades to do homework  and have forbidden additional classes after school. Besides, schools and teacher mustn't force students to buy book that are beyond the requirement of their courses. It is true that in this case students have much more time to themselves. However, I can't deny the fact this solution could lead to students' getting lower grades in general. It is a reality that competition between countries is increasing the need for well-educated people to develop and construct our country.

20. 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?

In 1862 Congress passed the Homestead Act. This measure offered 160 acres of western land free to any American citizen who was a family head and over twenty-one. The only conditions were that the settlers should live on the land for five years and make improvements to it. In the well-watered East, 160 acres was a sizable farm. Yet in the barren West, it was barely enough to support a family. Despite these risks, the Homestead Act produced an explosion of settlement. Within half a century after the passage, all western territories had gained enough settlers - at least 60,000 - to become states. As a result of the Homestead Act, most western areas experienced enormous population growth.

① 1862년 미국 의회는 홈스테드법을 통과시켰다.
② 메마른 서부에서 160에이커의 땅은 겨우 가족을 부양할 정도였다.

⑤ 홈스테드법에 따라 21세 이상인 미국 가장에게 토지 160에이커를 저렴하게 제공하였다.
