스크랩 영어 [2007] 국가직 9급 (2007.4.14 시행) 영어 기출문제 (해설)

[Saint Killer]

<총평> 이번 국가직 시험 영어는 비교적 평이한 수준으로 출제되었다.

출제 비율은 어휘문제 5문제/숙어문제 3문제(40%),  문법/어법 문제 4문제(20%),

독해 문제 7문제(35%), 기타 생활영어 등 1문제 등으로 출제되었다.

특히 어휘/ 숙어 파트가 8문제로서 40%의 비율로 많은 비중으로 출제된 점이 눈에 뛴다.

앞으로도 올해부터 문제가 공개되는 시점에서 이러한 경향은 더욱 가중될 것으로 보인다.

그 이유는 새롭게 시험 출제가 가장 용이하고 변별력을 가리기 쉬운 파트가 그것이기 때문이다.

* 보카바이블에서는 어휘문제 5문제가 모두 표제어 1,100개에서 출제(동의어정답까지 그대로) 되었고

숙어문제 3문제도 모두 적중되었다. 따라서 보카바이블 독자님들은 어휘/숙어 문제를 푸는데 있어

큰 어려움은 없었을 것이라 보인다.

Among the many physical risks facing astronauts sent to the Moon or Mars, the biggest danger will be the least visible: radiation.

문 16. 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?

Humans have always been fascinated by dreams. The vivid dreams people remember and talk about are REM dreams - the type that occurs almost continuously during periods of rapid eye movement(REM) during sleep. But people also have NREM　dreams - dreams that occur during periods without rapid eye movemnet - although they are typically less frequent and less memorable than REM dreams. REM dreams have a story-like or dream-like quality and are more visual, vivid, and emotional than NREM dreams. Interestingly, blind people who lose their sight before age five usually do not have visual dreams, but they have vivid dreams involving the other senses. A popular belief about dreams is that an entire dream takes place in an instant, but in fact, it is not true. Sleep researchers have discovered that it takes about as long to dream a dream as it would to experience the same thing in real life.

① REM dreams are usually easy to remember.

② Human dreams usually occur in an instant.

③ Even a 4-year-old blind boy can have vivid dreams.

④ REM dreams take place more often than NREM dreams.

문17. 다음 글을 가장 잘 요약한 것은?

Everyone worries at one time or another. It is a part of our every day lives. We worry about deadlines, about financial problems, and about our relationships with others. Surprisingly, the fact is that worrying is not always a bad thing. Some amount of worry is necessary because it gives us time to concentrate on a problem and find possible solutions or ways to deal with it. Some worry is stimulating. It can propel you to do better work or to complete work on time. In other cases, however, our worries can interfere with our problem-solving abilities. We worry so much that it stops us from taking the steps needed to solve the problem. If it continues, worrying can take away our energy and lead to physical problems such as fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, and insomnia.

① Some amount of worry can be useful.

② Worry has both positive and negative effects on us.

③ Worry can bring about a variety of problems to our body.

④ Too much worry may keep us from concentrating on our problems.
