2. 대화를 듣고, 여자의 의견으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

W: Good morning, Chris.

M: Good morning, Julie. How was your weekend?

W: It was wonderful. I went to an event called Stargazing Night with my

7-year-old son.

M: Oh, so you went outdoors to look up at stars. Your son must have had a

great time.

W: Yes. And I think it helped my son become familiar with mathematical

concepts.

M: Interesting! How does it do that?

W: By counting the stars together, my son had a chance to practice counting to

high numbers.

M: Ah, that makes sense.

W: Also, he enjoyed identifying shapes and tracing patterns that stars form

together.

M: Sounds like you had a magical and mathematical night!

W: Absolutely. I think looking at stars is a good way for kids to get used to

mathematical concepts.

M: Maybe I should take my daughter to the event next time.

attending.

W: Thank you. I’m very proud of that design.

M: What was the concept behind it?

W: When planning the design of the school building, I wanted to incorporate

elements of nature into it.

M: I see. Did you apply this concept in any other building designs?

W: Yes. Skyforest Tower. My design included mini gardens for each floor and a

roof-top garden, making the building look like a rising forest.

M: That’s impressive. Actually, my art teacher is taking us on a field trip there

next week.

W: Really? Make sure to visit the observation deck on the 32nd floor. The view

is spectacular.

M: Thanks. I’ll check it out with my classmates.

W: Good. I like the banner on the wall.

M: Thanks for letting us use it. Did you notice the snowman drawing that’s

hanging on the tree?

W: Yeah. I remember it was drawn by the child you helped last year. By the

way, there are three boxes on the floor. What are they for?

M: We’re going to fill those up with donations of toys and books.

W: Sounds great. Good luck.

W: Hi, Steve. Remember the report about wildflowers I’ve been working on?

M: Of course. That’s for your biology class, right?

W: Yeah. I was able to get pictures of all the wildflowers in my report except

for daisies.

M: I see. Can’t you submit your report without pictures of daisies?

W: No. I really need them. I even tried to take pictures of daisies myself, but I

found out that they usually bloom from spring to fall.

M: You know what? This spring, I went hiking with my dad and took some

pictures of wildflowers.

W: Do you have them on your phone? Can I see them?

M: Sure. Have a look.

W: Oh, the flowers in the pictures are daisies! These will be great for my report.

M: Really? Then I’ll send them to you.

W: Thanks. That would be very helpful.

W: Honey, I’m home.

M: How was your day?

W: Alright. Hey, did you order something? There’s a large box outside the door.

M: It’s the tent we bought online for our camping trip. I’m returning it.

W: Is it because of the size? I remember you said it might be a little small to fit

all of us.

M: Actually, when I set up the tent, it seemed big enough to hold us all.

W: Then, did you find a cheaper one on another website?

M: No, price is not the issue.

W: Then, why are you returning the tent?

M: It’s too heavy to carry around. We usually have to walk a bit to get to the

campsite.

W: I see. Is someone coming to pick up the box?

M: Yes. I already scheduled a pickup.

W: I’ve never even heard of it.

M: Well, I went there yesterday and it was amazing.

W: What does the museum exhibit?

M: It exhibits numerous failed products from the world’s best-known companies.

W: Interesting. That makes me curious about the purpose of founding the museum.

M: It was founded to deliver the message that we need to admit our failures to

truly succeed.

W: That’s quite a message, and it makes a lot of sense. Did it just open?

M: No, it opened in 2001.

W: How come I’ve never heard of it?

M: I guess many people don’t know about it. But visiting the museum was an

eye-opening experience.

W: Where is it?

to see?

M: Sure. [Pause] These bamboo ones seem good. They’re made from natural

materials.

W: That’s true, but I’m worried they may not dry quickly.

M: Okay. Then let’s look at straws made from other materials. How much are

you willing to spend on a set of straws?

W: I don’t want to spend more than $10.

M: That’s reasonable. How about length?

W: To use with my tumbler, eight or nine inches should be perfect.

going out.

M: Oh, it’s good to speak to you again.

and brought it here?

M: Sure. I wanted to give him a reward. But he wouldn’t accept it.

W: I remember you saying that before.

M: Yeah. I’d still like to somehow express my thanks in person.

W: The boy will receive the Junior Citizen Award for what he’s done for you.

M: That’s great news!

W: There’ll be a ceremony for him at the police station, and he invited you as

his guest. I was wondering if you can make it.

W: Ben and Stacy are neighbors. Ben has been growing tomatoes in his

backyard for several years. Ben shares his tomatoes with Stacy every year

because she loves his fresh tomatoes. Today, Ben notices that his tomatoes

will be ready to be picked in about a week. However, he leaves for a

month-long business trip tomorrow. He’s worried that there’ll be no fresh

tomatoes left in his backyard by the time he comes back. He’d like Stacy to

have them while they are fresh and ripe. So, Ben wants to tell Stacy that she

can come and get the tomatoes from his backyard whenever she wants. In

this situation, what would Ben most likely say to Stacy?

16번부터 17번까지는 두 번 들려줍니다.

[16∼17] 다음을 듣고, 물음에 답하시오.

M: Hello, students. Last time, I gave you a list of English expressions containing

color terms. Today, we’ll learn how these expressions got their meanings. The

first expression is “out of the blue,” meaning something happens unexpectedly.

It came from the phrase “a lightning bolt out of the blue,” which expresses the

idea that it’s unlikely to see lightning when there’s a clear blue sky. The next

expression, “white lie,” means a harmless lie to protect someone from a harsh

truth. This is because the color white traditionally symbolizes innocence.

Another expression, “green thumb,” refers to a great ability to cultivate plants.

Planting pots were often covered with tiny green plants, so those who worked

in gardens had green-stained hands. The last expression, “to see red,” means

to suddenly get very angry. Its origin possibly comes from the belief that bulls

get angry and attack when a bullfighter waves a red cape. I hope this lesson

helps you remember these phrases better.

2. 대화를 듣고, 남자의 의견으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

M: Cathy, it feels so great to be out in the mountains, doesn’t it?

W: Yes, Dad. Look at that tree. There’s a squirrel.

M: Oh, there’s also a bird on the branch.

W: I want to feed them. Is it okay if I share my sandwich with them?

M: Hmm... I don’t think feeding wildlife is a good idea.

W: Why do you think so, Dad? Isn’t giving food to them helpful?

M: No. If people feed wild animals, they’ll stop looking for wild food and they could lose their survival abilities in nature.

W: I didn’t know that.

M: Also, certain nutrients in human foods are harmful to some animals. This is another reason why we shouldn’t feed wild animals.

W: I guess giving food to wildlife is not as helpful as I thought.

M: That’s right.

W: I’ll keep that in mind.

W: I was worried you might be late for the live weather report.

M: I’m ready. What am I wearing today?

W: I suggest this gray suit with a navy tie.

M: Okay. I’ll go get dressed.

W: Wait. Put on these glasses, too. They’ll give you a more professional look.

M: Whatever you say. I can always count on you when it comes to clothing and style.

W: That’s what I’m here for. By the way, thanks to your weather forecast yesterday, I was prepared for the sudden showers this morning.

M: I did say there was an 80% chance of rain in the morning.

W: Yes, you did. Now, go get changed.

4. 대화를 듣고, 그림에서 대화의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것을 고르시오.

W: Hi, David. How was your picnic with your family on the weekend?

M: It was good. Do you want to see a picture I took?

W: Sure. [Pause] Wow, your son has grown a lot.

M: He sure has. He just turned 11 years old.

W: Time flies. The drone on top of the box must be his.

M: Yeah. He brings it with him everywhere.

W: I see. Oh, there are three bicycles.

M: Yes. We love riding bicycles these days.

W: That’s good. I like that checkered-patterned mat.

M: That’s my wife’s favorite pattern. Do you recognize that heart-shaped cushion?

W: Of course. We each got that cushion from our company last year.

M: Right. My wife loves it.

W: Me, too. Oh, I guess your wife did the bird painting on the canvas.

M: Uh-huh. We all had a great time.

M: Of course. I’ve put them in the car.

W: Great. Thanks.

M: Shall we take some blankets just in case it gets cold in the evening?

W: I’ve already packed them in our luggage.

M: Good. Oh, we haven’t decided which movie we’re going to watch tomorrow. Could you pick one?

W: Sure. I’ll choose a movie.

M: Thanks. Do you know where the folding chairs are?

W: I think I last saw them in the trunk.

M: Alright. I’ll check when I’m putting the luggage in the car.

W: You know we’re having a farewell party for our boss, Miranda, next Friday,

right?

M: Yes. The party is at 7 p.m. at the seafood restaurant downtown, isn’t it?

W: That was the original plan. But I changed the place.

M: Oh, really? Didn’t you say that restaurant is known for their great service

and reasonable price?

W: Yeah. That’s why I booked a table there. But I changed the place to the

Italian restaurant near the seafood restaurant.

M: I guess you did that because Miranda loves Italian food.

W: She does, but she also really likes seafood.

M: Then, why did you change the place?

W: I found out that some of our coworkers have seafood allergies.

M: Oh, that’s why. By the way, Janet from the sales department said she wanted

to come.

W: Great! I’m sure Miranda will be happy to see her.

W: Hi, Ben. I hope to finish my math homework around noon, and after that I

don’t have any plans. Why?

M: I was thinking about going to a cooking class at 5 p.m. Do you want to come?

W: A cooking class? Isn’t cooking difficult? I’m already stressed out from doing

my homework.

M: Well, actually, I recently read an article that said cooking is very effective in

relieving stress.

W: What do you mean?

M: When you cook, the smell from the food you’re making can help you feel

relaxed.

W: I can see that. The smell of a freshly-cooked meal calms me down.

M: That’s what I mean. Also, when you eat the delicious food you make, you’ll

feel happy.

W: That does sound appealing. Perhaps it’ll help me take my mind off schoolwork.

M: Okay. Are we taking the bus?

W: We have two kids with us and the museum is pretty far from the restaurant.

Let’s drive.

M: But it’ll be hard to find a parking space at the museum today. There are so

many visitors on the weekend.

W: How about using an app to search for parking lots near the museum?

M: Is there an app for that?

W: Yes. The app is called Parking Paradise. It helps you find and reserve a

parking spot.

M: That’s cool! Have you tried it?

W: No. But I heard that it’s user-friendly and convenient.

M: It sounds handy. Let me find the app and download it.

W: Okay. Can you find a parking space while I get the kids ready?

W: Andrew is preparing to sell his used things at his school festival next week.

Andrew gathers all the stuff that he wants to sell and asks his mother, Jane,

what she thinks of his selections. Jane looks through the items and notices

that some of them are old and in poor condition. She thinks that Andrew

shouldn’t take such worn-out things to the festival because people won’t be

interested in buying them. So, Jane wants to suggest that Andrew should

only pick out the ones that are in fine condition. In this situation, what would

Jane most likely say to Andrew?

[16～17] 다음을 듣고, 물음에 답하시오.

M: Hello, students. Last class, we discussed the harm caused by insects. Today,

we’re going to learn about the advantages that insects can bring us. First,

honeybees play a crucial role in the reproductive process of plants by helping

them to produce seeds. In the U.S., the honeybees’ assistance in this process
