Part I. 다음 글을 읽고 빈 칸에 들어갈 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

1. For hundreds of years, right up to today, many thought the “right way” to train a horse was to break it, force it to submit. But breaking a horse with violence is not Buck Brannaman’s style. Working with horses is something Brannaman learned around the time he began to read write. Over the years this Wyoming native has become a mixture of a modern day Doctor Doolittle and horse guru-what we have come to know as a “Horse Whisperer”-someone who reads horses so magically you’d swear they were talking to him. It is ______________________ who often preferred a more physical, hands-on approach.

(a)  a tradition that has been handed down by many people

(b)  a new trend advocated by more experienced rangers

(c)  a transformation that rejects the violence of old-time cowboys

(d)  a return of the old method supported by the Southerners

2. Hunger, hostile Indians, and disease took many lives in the early years of settlement before the settlers learned to cope with their new environment. At one point ___________. Much trouble arose from the organization and aims of the enterprise. Anxious for quick profit from gold or a northwest passage, the settlers were slow to settle down to the mundane agricultural labor necessary for the colony to sustain itself. The reluctance arose partly from the fact that all the original settlers were employees of the company and their labor was controlled under military discipline by an autocratic governor.

(a)  the colony was almost abandoned

(b)  the company made an effort to recruit immigrants

(c)  the disaster so discredited the company that the King revoked its charter

(d)  the Virginia environment produced enslavement

3. William Shakespeare is unequivocally the most famous playwright in the world, but there _______________________________________. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April (probably April 23) of 1564, Shakespeare presumably attended the Stratford grammar school, where he could have acquired a respectable knowledge of Latin. There are legends about Shakespeare’s youth but no documented facts. The first record we have of his life after his christening is that of his marriage in 1582 to Anne Hathaway. A daughter was born in 1583 and twins, a boy and a girl, 1585. We posses no information about his activities for the next seven years, but by 1592 he was in London working as an actor and was apparently well known as a playwright.

(a)  is much controversy about his literary achievement

(b)  is little consensus on when he started his career

(c)  are yet many questions about his biographical background

(d)  is yet more to learn about his work

4. As a baby, Morganne had a great need for contact with Mama. She needed to be held a lot, preferred her own home to anyplace else, and disliked crowds. As she grew, she continued to need a lot of quiet time at home and to dislike being in large groups. She also needed to take her time getting used to new situations. By the time she started preschool, her parents had pretty much decided that they would either home-educate her or send her to the local Waldorf school. At the age of three, she needed her mother to stay with her at preschool for six weeks before she felt comfortable with the teacher. She tended to get lost in the crowd in groups of more than four children. Because she was a “good” child and a shy one, she didn’t get as much personal attention as the more boisterous children. ____________________________________.

(a)  Consequently, she preferred better than anyone else in her public school.

(b)  Obviously, she was not a child who would thrive in a public school.

(c)  She was, however, making a lot of friends in her school.

(d)  She was, on the other hand, one of the better-educated children in her school.

5. In the first year of the war, perhaps the most important struggle was within the colonies themselves. Because neither the British nor the American leaders were prepared to compromise, few doubted that the issue could be resolved by means of full-scale war. But many colonists remained deeply loyal to the British and, despite the coercion of the Revolutionaries, unwilling to wage war against the mother country. Nearly 100,000 of these Royalists were forced into exile, while those who remained suffered ostracism, disfranchisement, confiscation of property, and other penalties for their loyalty to the King. Still, the American Revolution produced none of the wholesale imprisonment or executions of dissidents that have marked other revolutions.

Q. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the Royalists who remained in America?

(a)  They were ostracized.

(b)  Their private property was seized from them.

(c)  They were unable to vote.

(d)  Their rights to carry on businesses were taken away.

6. The Magna Carta was a charter granted by King John of England to the English barons on June 15, 1215. It is considered the basis of English constitutional liberties. The Magna Carta contained the first detailed definition of the relationship between the king and the barons, guaranteed feudal rights, and codified the judicial system. The charter also abolished many abuses of feudal tenures, including taxations by the Crown without the consent of the common council of the kingdom.

Q. What can be inferred about the time before the Magna Carta was granted?

(a)  The barons could not live within the king’s territory before the charter.

(b)  The king collected money without the permission of a formal government.

(c)  The king and the barons had no relationship before the charter was granted.

(d)  There was no judicial system in England before the charter was granted.

7. The Depression of the 1930s shook capitalism to its foundations and shaped the public attitudes of people for generations. The shock was so great because it contradicted long-held beliefs in the unlimited possibilities of expansion. The Depression made the Western world ripe for revolution as every political faction in society looked frantically for a cure. Finding a cure without determining the causes, however, was difficult. In fact, no economist has ever thoroughly explained why the disaster of 1929 to 1932 came about.

Q. What can be inferred about the depression of the 1930s from the passage?

(a)  It persuaded many people to give up capitalism for socialism.

(b)  The beliefs in unlimited economic growth helped find a cure.

(c)  The exact origins of the Depression are still controversial.

(d)  Political revolutions can be considered a reason for the Depression.

8. The New Zealand-born Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) discovered in 1911 that atoms have a tiny, dense nucleus. Rutherford and his colleagues were shooting positively charged alpha particles at a very think sheet of gold foil. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons and so have a positive charge. Most of the alpha particles went straight through, but some changed path and some even bounced back. This showed that the atom’s positive charge was concentrated in a small nucleus, which was changing the path of the alpha particles. Most of the atom is made up of empty space.

Q. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?

(a)  Ernest Rutherford discovered that the atom has a nucleus.

(b)  Few of the alpha particles went through the sheet of gold foil.

(c)  The nucleus comprises most of the atom.

(d)  The nucleus of the atom is electrically neutral.

9. Henri Matisse was born in 1869, the year of the Cutty Sark, a beautiful little clipper ship, was launched. In 1594, the year he died, the first hydrogen bomb exploded at Bikini Atoll. Not only did he live on, literally, from one world into another; he lived through some of the most traumatic political events in recorded history, the worst wars, the greatest slaughters, the most demented rivalries of ideology. Yet Matisse never made a didactic painting or signed a manifesto, and there is scarcely one reference to a political event-let alone an expression‎ of political opinion-to be found anywhere in his writings. Perhaps Matisse did suffer from fear and loathing like the rest of us, but there is no trace of them in his work. His paintings are the equivalent to that ideal place, scaled away form the assaults and erosions of history.

Q. Which is correct according to the passage

(a)  Matisse did not believe art could transcend reality.

(b)  The turmoil of politics did not affect Matisse’s artistic world.

(c)  Matisse disagreed with contemporary ideological views

(d)  Matisse’s achievement as a painter surpass those of any other artist.

10. Mohandas Gandhi was born 1869 and lived until 1948, when his life was tragically ended in New Delhi by a religious extremist. (a) After practicing law in South Africa, where he fought for the rights of the Indian population, Gandhi returned to India in 1915. (b) Gandhi was, for a time, India’s political and spiritual leader, and was regarded as the father of independent India. (c) Widely viewed as a leader in the nationalist movement, Gandhi worked for Indian impendence from Great Britain. (d) A proponent of satyagraha, or passive resistance, as a way to end British rule, Gandhi was jailed and released by the British on numerous occasions.
