㉠ For the past two years. I have been studying cancer survivors at the university, trying to find out why it is that some people respond much better to their treatment than do others. ㉡ some patients fared much better in their therapies than others. ㉢ The patients I am talking about here received upon diagnosis whatever therapy - medication, radiation, surgery - their individual cases demanded. ㉣ On closer scrutiny, however, I discovered that severity of the illness was only one of a number of factors that accounted for the difference between those who get well and those who don't. ㉤ Yet the response to such treatments was hardly uniform. ㉥ At first I thought that some patients did well because their illnesses were not as severe as the illnesses of others.

① ㉠㉡㉢㉥㉣㉤
② ㉠㉥㉣㉢㉤㉡
③ ㉠㉢㉡㉤㉥㉣
④ ㉠㉡㉥㉣㉢㉤

보기에 ㉠이 제일 앞에 나왔다. 또한 ㉥㉣의 순서이었다. ㉥㉣은 처음에 병이 심각하지 않기 때문이라고 생각했다가 자세히 조사하니 아니라는 것이다. 그러므로 이 내용 뒤에는 다른 밝혀진 사실이 나와야 한다. ㉤㉤의 such treatments가 오려면 치료의 종류들을 언급한 ㉢이 앞에 와야한다. ㉤ 다음에는 어떻게 일정하지 않은 지를 밝히는 ㉡이 와야 한다.

15. What is the major concern in this passage?

The court says nothing's more complex than black and white, and children and love to mixture have a heartbreaking dilemma. The subject is quite simply black babies taken in by white families. A number of black social workers say it should never happen that heritage supersedes any emotional attachment. And, there's no more emotional debates going on in Minnesota. It's a bitter tug of war with children as the prize.

① child psychology
② a tug of war
③ counseling service
④ interracial adoption

초점이 되는 것은 흑백 인종의 문제이고 백인 가정에 받아들여진 아이가 문제이므로 ④가 답이다.

※ 다음 글의 읽고 물음에 답하시오.〔16～17〕
The minds of young people are flexible and elastic, and easily ㉠ accommodate themselves to any one they fall in with.

16. ㉠와 가장 가까운 의미를 가지는 단어는?
① adopt
② adjust
③ accumulate
④ accomplish

17. ㉡에 들어갈 가장 적절한 단어는?

※ 다음 글을 읽고 밑줄 친 부분에 들어갈 알맞은 어구를 고르시오.〔18～20〕

Success in producing mental discipline is the chief merit of traditional higher education. I doubt whether it can be achieved except by compelling or persuading active attention to a prescribed task. It is for this reason chiefly that I do not believe methods such as Madame Montessori's applicable when the age of childhood has been passed. The essence of her method consists in giving a choice of occupations, any one of which is interesting to most children, and all of which are instructive. The child's attention is wholly spontaneous, as in play; it enjoys acquiring knowledge in this way, and does not acquire any knowledge which it does not desire. I am convinced that this is the best method of education with young children : the actual results make it almost impossible to think otherwise. But it is difficult to see how this method can lead to control of attention by the will.

18. Mental discipline of the students can successfully be achieved _____.
① by applying Montessori's method of education
② by allowing students to choose occupations of their own will
③ by teaching students only prescribed subjects
④ by forcing students to pay heed to a prescribed task


19. Traditional higher education _____.
① is better in producing mental discipline than Montessori's method
② is applicable only to those who are over the age of childhood
③ makes it difficult for students to have control of attention by the will
④ is based on Madame Montessori's educational method


20. According to the author, Madame Montessori's method of teaching _____.
① will result in creating a lot of occupations
② is very strict and instructive
③ is not likely to achieve its proposed object
④ can be greatly instrumental to students' obtaining of the control of attention

이 글의 구조는 Montessori 교육 방법을 아이들이 아닌 사람들에게 적용하는 것은 어렵다는 내용이다. 전체적 전개 내용: 전통적인 고등 교육이 정신적 훈련에서 성공적이었다-그것은 과제에 대한 집중력을 요구했다-Montessori는 어린이들에게 장점들이 있다-그러나 집중력을 통제하도록 할 수는 없다. 따라서 ‘Montessori 교육은 고등교육에는 적합하지 않다’는 요지를 지니고 있다.
