It took humans thousands of years to explore our own planet and centuries to comprehend our neighboring planets, but nowadays new worlds are being discovered every week. To date, astronomers have identified more than 370 “exoplanets,” worlds orbiting stars other than the sun. Amid such exotica, scientists are eager for a hint of the familiar: planets resembling Earth, orbiting their stars at just the right distance―neither too hot nor too cold―to support life as we know it. No planets quite like our own have yet been found, because they’re inconspicuous. To see a planet as small and dim as ours amid the glare of its star is like trying to see a firefly in a fireworks play; to detect its gravitational influence on the star is like listening for a cricket in a tornado. Yet by pushing technology to the limits, astronomers are rapidly approaching the day when they can find another Earth and interrogate it for signs of life.

① Astronomers have found more than 370 exoplanets orbiting the sun.

② Planets like Earth have not been found because they are not easily observable.

③ The gravitational influence of a small planet like Earth on its star is easily detected.

④ Thanks to the development of technology, astronomers have found some planets like Earth.

If you look around, there are probably many coffeehouses near you. Coffee is big, big business. According to the International Coffee Organization, the world drinks about $70 billion in coffee each year. Although coffee is one of the world’s most popular drinks, many people believe it isn’t healthy. It has been blamed for high heart rates, high blood pressure, and stomach problems. Coffee can make you feel more stress and it can result in sleep problems. Medical research, however, has started suggesting that coffee might actually be good for us. In addition to giving us energy and keeping us alert, coffee is thought to be helpful for headaches. As coffee also contains antioxidants, it can protect our bodies against harmful substances in things like smoke and pollution. Recent studies have found that coffee helps to prevent certain types of cancer. One study in Tokyo, for example, discovered that coffee drinkers were half as likely as nondrinkers to have liver cancer. Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful.

① Coffee drinkers are less likely to have sleeping problems.

② Antioxidants in coffee give rise to some diseases in our bodies.

③ According to recent studies, coffee is effective in the prevention of some types of cancer.

④ A study from Japan shows that coffee causes liver cancer.

 

문 14. 다음 글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것은?

There are millions of people today who are able and eager to work but are unemployed. In this time of high unemployment, putting job satisfaction before job security is a luxury most people can’t afford. For example, a friend of mine gave up a secure secretarial job to find work that was more rewarding and exciting. That was five years ago. She is still not employed full-time. If she wanted to return to her old job, she would no longer be qualified, since the company now requires computer skills. She risked job security to look for more interesting work, and she lost. She’s not only having a hard time making ends meet, but she also has none of the ordinary job benefits, such as medical insurance or a pension plan.

① Job security can be achieved by learning new skills.

② It is wiser these days for people to choose job security.

③ Presently, job satisfaction is of great importance to most of the unemployed.

④ Today it is inevitable for job seekers to take some risks for a better income.

When the white people first explored the American West, they found Native Americans living in every part of the region, many of them on the Great Plains.

In the early days of migration, relations between the pioneers and Native Americans were generally (B) . Trade was common, and sometimes fur traders married and integrated into Indian society.

( ③ ) Depression may result from the resulting imbalance of these two substances in the body. ( ④ ) Also doctors believe that a decrease in the amount of sunlight the body receives may cause a disturbance in the body’s natural clock. Doctors believe that the combination of chemical imbalance and biological clock disturbance results in symptoms such as lethargy, oversleeping, weight gain, anxiety, and irritability―all signs of depression.

That species might spread overseas by hitching lifts on floating vegetation is an idea going back to Charles Darwin. It is a plausible thought, but hard to test. A test of sorts has, however, been made possible by the tsunami that struck the Pacific coast of Japan in 2011.

(A)A lot of marine ones turned up, though, providing work for an army of 80 taxonomists wielding the latest genetic bar-coding equipment. (B)The incursion and regression of this tsunami dragged with it millions of pieces of debris, many of them buoyant.

Two numbers are, to me, particularly emblematic of what science had to tell us about fitness this year. The first is 42% and represents the extent by which people’s risk for premature death rises if they are out of shape, according to a study published in July. That number almost equals the risk of early death associated with heavy smoking. The second figure is $2,500 and is the amount of money that each of us most likely could save annually on medical costs related to heart disease if we walked for 30 minutes most days, according to a wonderfully pragmatic study released in September. In other words, exercise science this year taught us that ______________________________________________.

① strength training and balance exercises could prevent sports injuries

② high blood pressure is more dangerous to our health than low blood pressure

③ no matter how much we try to cut medical costs, there are certain expenses that we can’t avoid

④ being inactive could potentially cost us years from our lives and many thousands of dollars from our wallets
