Ⅲ. 다음 영문을 읽고 물음에 답하시오. (21-40, 각 3점)

[21-24] Precipitation, commonly referred to as rainfall, is a measure of the quantity of water in the form
of either rain, hail, or snow which reaches the ground. The average annual precipitation over the whole
of the United States is thirty-six inches. It should be understood however, that a foot of snow is not
equal to a foot of precipitation. A general formula for computing the precipitation of snowfall is that
thirty-eight inches of snow is equal to one inch of precipitation. In New York State, for example,
seventy-six inches of snow in one year would be recorded as only two inches of precipitation. Forty
inches of rain would be recorded as forty inches of precipitation. The total annual precipitation would be
recorded as forty-two inches.

21. The term precipitation includes .

(A) only rainfall (B) rain, hail, and humidity
(C) rain, snow, and humidity (D) rain, hail, and snow

22. What is the average annual rainfall in inches in the United States?

(A) By two feet (B) By four inches
(C) By four feet (D) By 152 inches

24. Another word which is often used in place of precipitation is .

(A) humidity (B) wetness
(C) rainfall (D) rain-snow

[25-28] Young people today are very different from their predecessors in the 60s. The 1960s were
dominated by activists, long-haired and protesting American intervention in Vietnam. No longer interested
in politics and causes, most of the 32 million people from 13 to 21 are preoccupied with issues closer to
themselves. Their foremost concern is with training for and finding a job that will support them in these
uncertain times. They worry, as do their parents, about the dangers of nuclear destruction. But they
seldom do anything about their worries. Protest marches and the like simply do not appeal to them. They
are much too busy getting on with the business of living their own self-centered lives. Not surprisingly,
excessive drinking among teenagers has become a national concern, with an estimated 5.3 million 14- to
17-year-old problem drinkers.

25. You can infer from this passage that .

(A) teenagers drink to excess because their parents provide a bad example
(B) excessive drinking among teenagers indicates that they are responding to the stresses of their lives
by drinking
(C) present-day teenagers drink because of their more lighthearted approach to life
(D) teenagers have more money to buy alcohol than the youth of the 1960s did

(B) Young people today drink too much.
(C) Young people today are different from and better than the youth of the 1960s.
(D) The youth of today have a different attitude toward life from that of the youth of the 1960s.

[29-32] The United States probably suffers more injury from insects than any other country in the world,
because as people migrated here a large number of insects came with them, but these pests' natural
enemies, by which they would be destroyed, were left behind. In this country alone insects destroy
yearly materials and goods estimated to be worth many millions of dollars. The damage done to our
crops by their activities amounts to even more.
Insects are especially active as disease carriers. The household fly carries numerous diseases and
parasites. Mosquitoes are responsible for malaria, the tick for Rocky Mountain fever. Insects also carry
diseases to many important crops. It is hard to fight insects because they adapt themselves to all sorts of
conditions, and because their size has so often obscured their destructive powers.
This country has gone a long way in its scientific study of insects. France and Italy have shown
themselves keenly alive to the importance of the work, and Great Britain is developing many workers in
her commonwealth. Some insecticide has been developed for almost every injurious insect in the United
States, but the fight calls for more trained workers and a large expenditure of money.

29. The United States is expecially concerned about its insect problem because of its .
(A) vast extent (B) temperate climate
(C) cultivated plants (D) mixed population

30. Insect are hard to fight because they .

31. What country is said to suffer most from injurious insects?

(A) the United States (B) Italy (C) Great Britain (D) France

32. Foreign insects cause greatest losses in this country because they come .
(A) in large numbers (B) without their native foes
(C) to a temperate climate (D) to a good eating ground

[33-36] Drug abuse is the taking of any substance for any purpose other than the one for which it was
intended and in any way that could damages the user's health. The most generally used drugs are the
most generally abused. Many people treat aspirin, for example, as if it were candy. On the principle that
if two aspirins are recommended to make them feel better, four will give them even more relief, people
exceed the recommended dosage--no more than two tablets every four hours and eight within twenty-four
hours. Without question, aspirin is a widely abused drug.
Cold capsules, laxatives, cough syrups--all the drugs sold in drugstores and supermarkets--are
frequently abused, but their use, when compared to that of other drugs, does not incur the public's
concern. The major source of drug abuse is alcohol, a common and easily acquired drug. A group of
prohibitionists once asked Abraham Lincoln to support their cause. Sagely, he refused, replying that
drunkenness is rooted not in the use of a bad thing, but in the abuse of a good thing.

33. A person who exceeds the recommended dosage of aspirin .

(A) is guilty of drug abuse (B) likes candy
(C) is taking aspirin for a headache (D) is in for a treat

(A) is aiding the aspirin manufacturers (B) can relieve the pain
(C) is endangering his or her health (D) is concerned with his or her health

(A) shows that Lincoln was a wise man
(B) emphasizes the relation between alcohol and alcoholism

(D) conveys the idea that alcohol may be harmless

(A) scientific journal (B) health book
(C) drug company advertisement (D) psychology textbook
[37-40] There can be little doubt that malaria was prevalent in all American colonies during the
seventeenth century. Toward the end of the century and continuing into the eighteenth, a rising incidence
marked parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and other colonies situated in the coastal
plains region, while a corresponding decline characterized New England. The significance of malaria in
colonial history can scarcely be overrated, for it was a major hurdle in the development of the American
colonies. To the newly arrived settlers of "fresh Europeans," it frequently proved fatal, and epidemics of
pernicious malaria took a heavy toll of old and new colonists alike. In endemic regions the regular
succession of spring and fall outbreaks, with the concomitant sickness and disability, deprived the colonies
of much sorely needed labor.

(A) only in the spring (B) in almost any season

(A) is difficult to exaggerate (B) was minimal
(C) has never been assessed (D) is difficult to determine

40. Malaria affected .

(A) only "fresh Europeans" (B) only old colonists
(C) only newly arrived settlers (D) both old and new colonists
