[2007] 고려대 편입 기출어휘 및 표현 문제 분석

<분석> 이번 고려대 시험은 항상 그래 왔듯이 어려운 어휘들이 많이 출제되었다. 실제 수험생들의 의견도 많이 어려워 하는 눈치였다. 동의어 문제가 11문제가 출제되었고 표현 문제가 6문제 출제되었다. 난이도는 평가하건대 과거보다 약간 상향 조정이라고 본다. 문장완성 문제는 비교적 쉽거나 자주 시험에 출제되는 어휘들이 출제되어 어휘문제의 성격보다는 논리를 묻는 문제에 가까웠다. 총 34문제 중 5개를 제외하고(숙어 5문제 포함) 29개는 모두 보카바이블에 설명된 어휘나 숙어들이어서 보카바이블로 꼼꼼이 공부한 학생은 어휘에 대해서는 크게 어려움이 없었을 것이라 판단된다.   고려대의 합격의 관건은 어휘이다. 총 70문제 중 34문제가 어휘문제 내지는 어휘 실력이 바탕이 되는 문장완성 문제로서 48%의 비중을 차지한다.       <동의어 문제 및 표현 문제>   보카바이블에서는 동의어 문제의 경우 12문제 중 10개가 적중되었고 2개(4번,5번)는 수록되어 있지 않은 단어였다. 2문제 중 5번의 경우 문맥으로 해결할 수 있는 문제였으나 4번은 어휘를 알지 못하면 풀기 힘든 문제였다. 이는 틀리라고 내는 문제이니 신경 쓸 필요 없으며 다른 교재에서도 대부분 언급 되지 않는 단어이고 매우 지엽적이고 잘 쓰이지 않는 어휘이다. 숙어 표현의 경우 6개 중 3개가 기출표현에 수록된 것이 출제되었다.       1.
