25. 19세기 영국에 관한 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?

During the evolution of the factory system in the 19th-century, the merchant class became more and more significant in English national life. Cities multiplied in population, labor and life were cheap, and the industrialists developed a philosophy of individualism that would justify their enterprise without involving obligations to society. The Romantic writers were enemies of the idea of social injustice, but they knew little about actual social conditions; they themselves did not come from the ranks of wage earners. But the romantic writers were powerfully affected by the theories developed in France establishing the principles of Liberty, Fraternity and Equality. Before social abuses could be cured, these principles had to be established. The Romantic writers did much to promote them.

The less expensive ways of going on holidays are to take a camper in which you can stay or to go camping. It is also cheaper when travelling abroad to go on a package tour in which your hotel and flight are arranged for you. You can stay in a Bed and Breakfast(also called a B and B) which is usually a private house which takes paying guests and provides them with a room for the night and breakfast for the following morning. In Britain this is usually cheaper than a hotel though in the US it is more expensive. Some people buy timeshares, that is, they become part owners of a holiday home and it is theirs to use a certain time every year.

26. Which of the following is the best title of the passage above?

(A) Where People Stay on Holidays

(B) Popular Holiday Entertainments

(C) When People Leave for Holidays

Human beings no longer thrive under the water from which their ancestors emerged, but their relationship with the sea remains close. Over half the world’s people live within 100 kilometres (62 miles) of the coast; a tenth are within 10km. On land at least, the sea delights the senses and excites the imagination. The sight and smell of the sea inspire courage and adventure, fear and romance. Though the waves may be rippling or mountainous, the waters angry or calm, the ocean itself is eternal. Its moods pass. Its tides keep to a rhythm. It is unchanging.

Or so it has long seemed. Appearances (  가  ), though. Large parts of the sea may indeed remain unchanged, but in others, especially in the surface and coastal waters where 90% of marine life is to be found, the impact of man’s activities is increasingly plain. This should hardly be a surprise. Man has changed the landscape and the atmosphere. It would be odd if the seas, which he has for centuries used for food, for transport, for dumping rubbish and, more recently, for recreation, had not also been affected.

27. What is the main idea of the passage above?

(A) The sea has been affected greatly by man's activities.

(B) People like to live in areas close to the sea.

(C) We cannot live without the help of the sea.

(D) There have been various works of literature on the sea.

28. Which of the following best fills in the blank (  가  ) of the passage above?

(A) abound	(B) build	(C) deceive	(D) lead

29. Which technique does the author use to make the point in the first paragraph of the passage above?

(A) allegory   (B) quotation   (C) definition   (D) enumeration

[30-32]

By midmorning's light, a military helicopter descends on the Shandur Pass, a 12,300-foot-high valley hemmed in by mountains whose jagged peaks soar another 8,000 feet above us. This part of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province is usually inhabited only by hardy shepherds and their grazing yaks, but today more than 15,000 assorted tribesmen are on hand as Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf emerges from the chopper, a pistol on his hip. Musharraf, who has survived several assassination attempts, seems to be taking no chances in a province roamed by Muslim extremists. But still, he has come: after all, it's the annual mountain polo match between Chitral and Gilgit, rival towns on either side of the Shandur Pass. Persians brought the game here a thousand years ago, and it has been favored by prince and peasant ever since. But as played at Shandur, the world's highest polo ground, the game has few rules and no referee. Players and horses go at one another with the abandon that once led a British political agent to label Chitral "the land of mirth and murder." This valley guards an important chain of passes on the ancient Silk Road linking Western Asia with China. In the 19th century, the area loomed large in the Great Game, the spy-versus-spy shadow play between the Russian and British empires.

30. Which of the following is NOT true about the Shandur Pass?

(A) It is a 12,300-foot-high valley surrounded by soaring mountains.

(B) On either side of it are located Chitral and Gilgit, the rival towns.

(C) Diverse tribesmen reside there, usually making a living by raising livestock.

(D) It guards an important chain of passes on the ancient Silk Road linking Western Asia with China.

31. It can be inferred from the passage above that the Shandur Pass is better known to the public for             .

(A) the magnificent natural view surrounding it

(B) the game at the highest polo ground in the world

(C) the assassination attempt on President Pervez Musharraf

(D) the weird lifestyle of people who live on both sides of Shandur

32. By stating "Players and horses go at one another with the abandon," the author implies that             .

(A) the game is under the control of the spectators

(B) speed is the dividing line between victory and defeat

(C) the important thing for them is both victory and pleasure

(D) the game is led by them without any regular rules

[33-34]

The stars near the center of our galaxy were zipping about like angry bees rather than sailing sedately through the heavens as most stars do. The researchers mapped the stars' positions to trace their orbits and to calculate their orbital speeds. The results were startling. One star passed within 6 billion miles of the suspected black hole, nearly as close as Pluto is to the sun. For a star diving near a black hole, that's a close call. As the star approached the suspect spot, scientists calculated its speed to be nearly 6,000 miles per second, or 20 million miles per hour. That's more than 300 times faster than the speed at which Earth orbits the sun. No one knew a star could move that fast.

33. Which of the following is true about the passage above?

(A) The stars near the center of our galaxy were moving very slowly.

(B) Researchers couldn't trace the stars' orbits because they were too fast.

(C) The distance of the Pluto to the sun is about 6 billion miles.

(D) A star diving near a black hole can move nearly 6000 miles per hour.

34. By stating "that's a close call" in the passage above, the author implies that any object that crosses near a black hole              .

(A) will be safe as houses

(B) can be in grave danger

(C) cannot change its course

(D) will create sufficient density

[35-36]

The emergence of a language that could unite the world is the realization of a dream that goes back to the late seventeenth century and the beginnings of global consciousness itself. Such ambitions had a special flowering a century ago when, in 1877, Dr Zamenhof launched Esperanto, still the most popular of the many artificial languages, currently used by between seven and twelve million people. But neither Esperanto nor Interlingua, Novial and Interglossa, all man-made hybrids, have real roots in any community. They remain a slightly stilted monument to late Victorian scientific rationalism. The global English of our times has all the benefits of standardizing process scholars have been describing.

35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage above?

(A) Language and Scientific Rationalism

(B) Dr Zamenhof and Esperanto

(C) On Universal Language

(D) English as a Global Language

36. What is the most specific difference between English and “man-made hybrids"?

(A) having real roots in any community

(B) being conscious of scientific rationalism

(C) being old or new

(D) being formal or not

[37-40]

Having grown up on ranches, they had spent their share of days riding horses and living outdoors before taking up rock climbing. The style of climbing they practiced is different than traditional mountaineering, and involves a more gymnastic technique called "free climbing." To prepare for their ascent of Trango Tower, also known as Nameless Tower, which soars 20,469 feet above sea level, they didn't slog through waist-deep snow on similar high-altitude peaks. Instead they trained on boulders no taller than 15 feet in the Texas desert. They figured if it were possible to climb any six feet of the rock face, then they could climb the whole mountain, piece by piece. Traditional mountaineers were skeptical.

If their only goal was to reach the top of Trango, it would have been quicker. If they had used traditional climbing techniques―hammering spikes into fissures in the rock and climbing rope ladders―it would have been easier. But this group of climbers was an anomaly in the Himalaya. What set them apart was their climbing style. They were climbers who came to scale the peak using only their bare hands and their feet. Using ropes only for protection against falls and to haul and secure equipment. Otherwise, the "cowboys" from Wyoming were on our own for two months, living vertically on the mountain.

37. Which of the following is true about the climbers?

(A) They grew up in the urban blight.

(B) They used the state-of-the-art climbing techniques.

(C) They easily got to the top of Trango as traditional mountaineers expected.

(D) They used ropes to carry their climbing kit and other material.

38. It can be inferred from the passage above that traditional mountaineers prepared themselves for climbing mountains by          through waist-deep snow on similar high-altitude peaks.

(A) slogging   (B) sauntering	(C) strolling	(D) rambling

39. According to the passage above, "they" grew up on ranches where they                       .

(A) did gymnastics	(B) cultivated corns

(C) rode horses	(D) ploughed snow

40. By using               , the conquering of the Trango Tower would have been much easier to accomplish.

(A) bare hands and feet	(B) free climbing style

(C) ropes and horses	(D) traditional techniques
