《영어지문 제시형 문제에서는 독해 능력뿐만 아니라 다양한 쓰기 실력을 요하는 문제들도 출제된다. 글의 순서 배열하기, 문단 단위 지문을 문장으로 요약하기, 글 흐름에 맞게 문장 삽입 또는 제거하기, 문맥에 적절한 어휘 고르기 등이 쓰기 영역의 문제이다. 특히 문장의 순서를 정하는 문제는 글의 흐름을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 대비하기 위해서는 다양한 연결사의 의미를 익혀야 하며, 각 문장에서 연결되는 단어들을 찾아 연결해 봐야 한다. 각 글의 첫 번째 어구를 통해 문장의 순서를 유추할 수 있는 문제로, 주요 어휘가 포함된 단어들의 관계를 추론하여 순서를 맞추는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이다. 주어진 문장을 적절한 위치에 넣어 다시 한번 읽으면서 글의 흐름이 자

연스럽게 이어지는지를 확인해야 한다.》

1. 다음 글의 순서를 바로잡으시오.

ⓐ These features were the cause of the early, enormous success of this "revolution". However, the "Green Revolution" methods no longer appear to be so successful. Though the population continues to grow, food production had failed to keep up with it.

ⓑ From 1950 to 1980, the so-called "Green Revolution" swept the world. World food production doubled with the introduction of a new approach to agriculture. It involved the large-scale cultivation of new types of grain and the extensive use of chemicals and farm machinery.

ⓒ There are a number of reasons for this. One reason lies in the expense of the new farming methods. The new kinds of grain produce much more. However, in order to get maximum production, farmers must use large amount of expensive chemicals and watering systems. Many farmers cannot afford to buy all the chemicals and equipment.

※ 다음 제시문을 읽고 질문에 답하시오. (2∼3)

She was just coming out of the little village of Mickley when she saw the old lady, standing by the road, with a crude hand-written sign saying "Brockbourne". She had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before. However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady. Normally, Andrea would never pick up a hitchhiker when she was alone, thinking it was too dangerous, but what was the harm in doing a favor for a little old lady? Andrea pulled up her car, and the lady, holding a big shopping bag, hurried over to climb in the door.

ⓐ At first, she didn't know what to do. Then suddenly, swinging the wheel, she threw the car into a skid, and brought it to a halt. “My God!” she shouted, “A child! Did you see the child? I think I hit her!”

ⓑ She thought about the bag lying on the floor. Andrea opened the heavy bag. It contained only one item - a small hand axe, with a razor-sharp blade. The axe and the inside of the bag were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood. Andrea began to scream.

ⓒ The old lady was clearly shaken by the sudden skid. “I didn't see anything, dearie,” she said. “I'm sure it was a child!” insisted Andrea. “Could you just get out and have a look?” She held her breath. As soon as she was out of the vehicle, Andrea gunned the engine and accelerated madly away.

ⓓ When she did get in, Andrea could see that she was not, in fact, so little. She wore a long, shabby old dress, and she had a yellow hat pulled down low over her eyes. She pushed her big shopping bag down onto the floor, and said in a whispering voice, “Thank you. I'm just going to Brockbourne.”

ⓔ Something in the way the lady spoke, and the way she never turned her head, but stared continuously into the darkness ahead from under her old yellow hat, made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker. She felt instinctively that there was something odd and something dangerous. Careful not to turn her head, Andrea looked sideways at her passenger. She studied the shapeless body and the arms with their thick black hairs. Andrea's blood froze. This wasn't a woman. It was a man.
