※ 다음 글을 읽고 물음에 답하시오. (11-12)[각4점]

Do you think that buying a new car is going to make you happy? Are you convinced that marrying your current sweetheart will bring you all the happiness any one person could desire? Or perhaps you are terrified of trying out for a promotion because you are sure that failure will send you into a permanent funk? According to some psychologists, whatever your prediction may be, it's probably wrong. They have studied what's called "affective forecasting"―predicting how one will feel if an event does or does not occur―and the results are pretty clear: Humans aren't very good at predicting how future events will affect them. Their study shows that most people consistently under- or overestimate the length and intensity of their emotional reactions.               , the things that we think will overwhelm us with joy often don't. And by the same token, the things that we think will devastate us often faze us far less than we imagined.

(2) Your view of the future is shaped by the past.

(3) We are not good judges of what will make us happy.

(4) People tend to make mistakes about the duration of their good and bad feelings.

These days, we take spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper for granted. To obtain them, we need only head to the nearest supermarket. In the fifteenth century, however, things were very different; spices were a much sought-after treasure, bringing wealth and power to whoever could obtain them. Thus, in 1497, King Manuel I of Portugal ordered the young navigator Vasco da Gama to find the shortest route between India and Europe. With India, a source of every possible spice from ginger to arrowroot, King Manuel knew he could feed the European appetite for spices and make a fortune in the process if da Gama accomplished his task. Da Gama did find the shortest route between India and Europe, and, for a while at least, Portugal cornered the market on spices and became a world power.

13. What is the main topic of the passage?

(1) Spices as a symbol of status

(2) King Manuel I's adventure for spices

(3) Da Gama's appetite for spices

(4) Spices in the fifteenth century

(1) monopolized	(2) expanded	(3) popularized	(4) initiated

Antibiotics are only for bacterial infections, which manifest with symptoms like fevers lasting more than five days, ear and throat pain, and breathing trouble, among others. Antibiotics won't help viral infections. You may think they do, because your kid's sickness goes away when they take the antibiotics. But respiratory viral infections usually last three to five days, so they're just running their natural courses. All the antibiotic has done is build up your child's resistance to it, which could harm them when they actually get a bacterial infection. It is possible that bacterial infections might take hold a little more easily if a child has just been sick, because they have a mildly compromised immunity. So be patient, but be               those symptoms. Ask your doctor about antibiotics if the fever has lasted more than five days, if a fever subsided and then returned, or if your child is short of breath or having trouble breathing.

English is a language which has more non-native speakers than native speakers. The non-native speakers can be divided into two types. First, there are speakers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) who learn English as a               of international communication. People in Germany or Japan or Brazil or Morocco who have learnt English will normally expect to use it in interaction with people from countries other than their own. Second, there are speakers of English as a Second Language (ESL). These are to be found in those nations where English is used as an official language, and/or as a language of education, and/or as a means of wider communication within the country, by people who are not native speakers. There are many such countries in the world. In the Americas, for example, English is an important second language in Puerto Rico, and also has some second-language presence in Panama. In Europe, English has official status in Gibraltar and Malta and is also widely spoken as a second language in Cyprus. In Africa, English is extensively used in education and for governmental purposes in countries like Tanzania and Kenya.

Researchers are testing a new way to count whales. They are using a picture taken by a satellite. This new way of working out whale populations could help protect endangered species. Calculating whale populations is important. It is the only way to find out if their numbers are going up or down. Traditionally, scientists had to travel on ships to count them. This method is not very accurate. It also costs a lot of money.

The researchers used a satellite called WorldView2. An American company owns this satellite. Its customers pay the company to take detailed photographs of different parts of the Earth. The satellite orbits the planet 770 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. The WorldView2 satellite has very powerful cameras. They can capture images of things that are up to 15 meters below the surface of the sea.

As a test the researchers paid the satellite company to take a picture of a sea area near Argentina. The area of the sea was specially chosen. It included a circular bay. The bay is called Golfo Nuevo. During winter, southern right whales gather in the bay. There, they breed and raise their young. Southern right whales spend the summer in the seas around Antarctica. In the winter they go north. The whales can be seen around the coasts of South America, southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Southern right whales are an endangered species.

The satellite picture was taken in September. The researchers used special software to scan the picture. The software counted all images that looked like whales. The researchers also counted the images of whales. When the software figure was compared with the researchers' calculation it was almost correct. The researchers plan to do more satellite whale counts in the future. Using satellite pictures is far more accurate. It is also much less expensive.

21. What would be the best title for the passage?

(1) Whale Habitat Counting	(2) Whale Conservation Methods
(3) Decreasing Whale Populations	(4) Satellite Whale Watching

22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

(1) Scientists' traditional way of calculating whales on ships is costly and painstaking.

(2) The WorldView2 satellite is owned by a U.S. company.

(3) Southern right whales migrate seasonally.

(4) The conventional whale counting is as accurate as the method of the satellite counting.

Stunned scientists announced Wednesday the unexpected discovery of large quantities of oxygen on a comet which streaked past the Sun in August with a European spacecraft in tow. Measurements made by the Rosetta probe suggested that oxygen molecules in the 67P comet's gassy halo must have existed "before or at" its formation. This may have implications for mankind's understanding of the chemistry involved in the formation of the Solar System some 4.6 billion years ago. "We believe this oxygen is primordial," said scientist Andre Bieler of the University of Michigan. Scientists had previously ruled out the presence of oxygen (O2) on comets such as 67P, the subject of intensive prodding and probing by a European robot lab.

As O2 mixes easily with other elements, "we never thought that oxygen could survive for billions of years in a pristine state," said Kathrin Altwegg of the University of Bern, who co-authored a study in the journal Nature. "This evidence of oxygen as an ancient substance will likely discredit some theoretical models of the formation of our Solar System," she said. The comet is being tracked on its deep space journey around the Sun by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft. The historic mission seeks to unlock the mystery of the origins of life on Earth.

Scientists believe that comets "seeded" early Earth with some of the ingredients for life. The team monitored the ratio of oxygen to water on the comet for several months to see if the gas molecules would dissipate as solar winds ripped away layers of surface. They did not―proving the oxygen was embedded in the comet, not just hanging around its surface. Prevailing theories of the Solar System's birth posit a chaotic, collision-strewn mixing of matter flowing toward and away from the newly-formed Sun. Pristine, icy grains containing oxygen would not have made it through such violence intact, the scientists said, leading them to speculate that the process was, in fact, "gentler."
