중앙대 [2007] 중앙대 편입학 기출어휘 분석(1.20) - 복원완료

[허민(길라잡이)]

오전,오후를 통틀어 올해 중앙대 어휘문제는 역대 최고의 난이도였다.

기존에는 거의 기출어휘 위주로 출제되는 것이 관행(?)이었는데 올해에는 어려운 어휘들이 대거 쏟아져서

많은 혼란을 일으키고 체감난이도를 높인 것 같다. 아래 stultify, drab, kudos는 보카바이블을 포함한

어느 어휘교재에도 나오지 않는 단어들이었다. 그리고 문장완성으로 대체해 풀 수도 없는 문제여서

결국 운이 좌우하는 그런 문제였던 것으로 평가된다.

동의어 문제는 약 6문제, 문장완성은 13문제 총 19문제 정도가 어휘문제로 분류될 수 있겠다.

거의 50%에 달하는 문제가 어휘실력을 바탕으로 푸는 문제여서 다음 중앙대 시험을 준비하는 수험생들은

보다 어휘력 향상에 노력을 기울여야겠다.

<오전>

(1~6) 다음 문장의 밑줄 친 부분과 가장 가까운 의미를 지닌 것을고르시오.(각 2점)

1) variegated 2) enticing 3) colorless 4) distinct

<정답> 3) drab를 모르면 문맥상으로도 전혀 풀 수 없는 문제이다. 문장속에서 어떠한  정보도 제공하지

않기 때문이다. 순수 동의어 문제이나 단어 또한 몹시 어려운 어휘여서 찍지 않고 푼 수험생은 드물것으로 보인다.

drab 단조로운, 칙칙한 

3. I couldn't wait to leave the dinner because of the vacuous conversation at the table.

4. The band exhumed some old English music hall songs and delighted modern audiences with them.

<정답> 3)

exhume [F2613] =  excavate [H17]

       exhume(발굴하다)를 render(연주하다) 로 비약해서 문장을 해석하고 답을 선택한 수험생이 의외로 많았다.

       동의어 문제의 풀이요령은 절대 그 단어가 원래 가진 뜻을 넘어서서는 안된다.

       또한 복원게시판의 논쟁에서 excavate가 발굴하다(즉. 땅을 파내서 유물을 발굴하다) 뜻 밖에 없다면서

       exhume과 동의어는 될 수 없다고 하는데 언어는 살아있는 생명체와 같다. 무한히 그 뜻을 불려나가고

       비슷한 상황에 뜻을 확장해 나간다. 우리말에도 발굴하다는 땅을 파서 유물 등을 발굴하다 의미 외에도

       신인가수를 발굴하다로 쓰기도 한다. 그럼 그 신인가수를 땅을 파내서 끄집어내는 것이 아닌것은 초등생 이상이면

       누구도 다 안다.  영어도 마찬가지이다. 그들도 "예전의 노래를 발굴해낸다"에 exhume이나 excavate를 쓴다.

       제발 사고방식의 유연함을 가지기 바란다.
