If humans had never existed, most of the world would resemble the Serengeti. Lions would live in North America, and elephants would walk through Europe. As part of a study, researchers analyzed what the distribution of mammal species would look like if it were not for the impact of humans. A previous study suggested the spread of humans, not climate change, was the cause of the mass extinctions during the last ice age. In their new analysis, the researchers concluded that sub-Saharan Africa is virtually the only place on Earth with a high diversity and sizeable populations of large mammals. The reason is not because the environment there is particularly favorable; it is due to the fact that human activities are limited and have not yet wiped out most mammal species. Large parts of the world would be home to large mammals if it were not for human-driven range losses and extinctions.

 

① Without humans, lions would live in North America and elephants would walk through Europe.

② The researchers found that large mammals are equally distributed across all regions of the world.

③ A previous study indicated that human expansion caused mass extinctions during the last ice age.

④ Sub-Saharan Africa has limited human activities, which has helped preserve mammal populations.

⑤ Human-driven range losses and extinctions have reduced large mammal populations worldwide.

이 글은 인간이 대형 포유류의 분포에 미친 영향을 다룬 연구를 소개하는 글이에요. 인간이 존재하지 않았다면 세계 대부분은 세렝게티처럼 보였을 거예요 — 사자가 북미에 살고 코끼리가 유럽을 누볐을 거라는 거죠. 연구자들은 인간의 영향이 없었을 경우 포유류 종의 분포가 어떻게 달랐을지를 분석했어요. 핵심 발견은 이거예요: 현재 지구상에서 대형 포유류의 다양성과 개체 수가 높은 곳은 사실상 사하라 이남 아프리카(sub-Saharan Africa)뿐이에요. 그런데 그 이유가 그 환경이 특별히 유리해서가 아니에요 — 인간 활동이 제한적이어서 대부분의 포유류 종이 아직 멸종되지 않았기 때문이에요. 이전 연구도 같은 방향을 가리켜요: 마지막 빙하기 대멸종의 원인은 기후변화가 아니라 인간의 확산이었다는 거죠. 여기서 오늘 함정의 핵심: 연구자들이 발견한 건 대형 포유류가 고르게 분포한다는 게 아니라, 사하라 이남 아프리카에만 집중되어 있다는 거예요. ②번이 바로 이걸 정반대로 뒤집었습니다.

선택지 O/X 분석

 

번호	선택지 요약	원문 대조	판정
①	인간이 없었다면 사자는 북미에, 코끼리는 유럽에 살았을 것	"Lions would live in North America, and elephants would walk through Europe"	⭕ 일치
②	연구자들은 대형 포유류가 세계 모든 지역에 균등하게 분포한다고 발견함	"sub-Saharan Africa is virtually the only place on Earth with a high diversity and sizeable populations of large mammals" — 균등 분포가 아니라 한 지역에 집중	❌ 불일치
③	이전 연구는 인간의 확산이 마지막 빙하기 대멸종을 초래했다고 밝혔음	"the spread of humans, not climate change, was the cause of the mass extinctions during the last ice age"	⭕ 일치
④	사하라 이남 아프리카는 인간 활동이 제한적이어서 포유류 개체 수 보존에 도움이 됨	"human activities are limited and have not yet wiped out most mammal species"	⭕ 일치
⑤	인간에 의한 서식지 손실과 멸종이 전 세계 대형 포유류 개체 수를 줄였음	"Large parts of the world would be home to large mammals if it were not for human-driven range losses and extinctions"	⭕ 일치

정답은 ② — 함정 패턴: 집중을 균등 분포로(concentrated → equally distributed)

이번 함정은 연구의 핵심 발견을 정반대로 뒤집는 패턴이에요.

원문은 연구 결론을 이렇게 명시합니다:

"sub-Saharan Africa is virtually the only place on Earth with a high diversity and sizeable populations of large mammals."

 

"사실상 유일한 곳" — 즉 대형 포유류는 지구상에서 사하라 이남 아프리카 한 곳에만 집중되어 있다는 거예요. 불균등 분포가 연구의 핵심 발견이죠.

그런데 ②번은 이걸 이렇게 바꿔놓았어요:

 

"The researchers found that large mammals are equally distributed across all regions of the world."

(연구자들은 대형 포유류가 세계 모든 지역에 균등하게 분포한다고 발견했다)

 

"virtually the only place(사실상 유일한 곳)" → "equally distributed across all regions(모든 지역에 균등 분포)"

"한 곳에만 집중"이라는 연구 결론이 "모든 곳에 고르게 분포"로 완전히 뒤집혔어요. 방향만 바뀐 게 아니라 연구 자체의 존재 이유를 부정하는 수준의 왜곡입니다.

함정 유형 정리: 분포 방향 역전(concentrated → evenly distributed)

지문에서 "only, solely, exclusively, the only place" 같은 한정·집중 표현이 나오면, 선택지에서 이게 "equally, evenly, across all, uniformly" 같은 균등·전체 표현으로 바뀌어 있지 않은지 확인하세요. 연구 결과를 소개하는 글에서 "어디에 집중되어 있는가"는 핵심 발견인 만큼 출제자가 즐겨 건드리는 포인트입니다.

핵심 어휘 정리

• distribution — 분포
• mass extinction — 대멸종
• sub-Saharan Africa — 사하라 이남 아프리카
• diversity — 다양성
• sizeable — 상당한 크기의
• wipe out — 전멸시키다, 쓸어버리다
• range loss — 서식지 범위 손실
• virtually — 사실상, 거의
• equally distributed — 균등하게 분포된 (선택지의 함정 표현)

 

 

풀이 전략 팁

 

연구 결과를 소개하는 글에서는 "어디에, 얼마나, 어떻게 분포하는가"에 관한 정보가 핵심 발견인 경우가 많아요. 출제자는 이걸 노리고 두 가지 방식으로 함정을 만들어요:

① 분포 범위 조작: "한 곳에만" → "모든 곳에", 또는 "고르게" → "한 곳에만"

② 원인 교체: "인간 때문에" → "기후 때문에" (이번 지문에서 ③번이 이 패턴으로 만들어질 뻔한 케이스) 이번 ②번은 ①번 패턴의 전형이에요. "virtually the only place"라는 극단적 한정 표현을 보는 순간, 선택지에서 "equally distributed across all regions" 같은 표현이 나오면 바로 잡아낼 수 있어야 합니다. 지문을 읽으면서 분포·범위·비율에 관한 표현에 특히 주의를 기울이는 습관을 들이세요.

1번 지문

Britney pulled up in front of my house, and I got into the passenger seat. We had a long drive ahead of us, so I settled into my seat and looked out the window. There was absolutely nothing to see ─ just empty field after empty field. After about 20 minutes, we came to the highway, and Britney hit the accelerator as if she were a race car driver trying to pass the competition. After a few minutes I realized the highway was covered in a layer of invisible ice. Britney was still driving much too fast, and before I could warn her, the car began to slide to the left. Britney immediately slammed on the brakes, which only made things worse. She was screaming at this point, having completely lost control of the car, which began to spin as it flew down the highway at nearly 120 kilometers per hour. There was nothing either of us could do.

Asteroids are large rocks moving through the solar system. Some are just one meter in diameter, but others are so large that they are considered minor planets. There are millions of asteroids, and many pass by close to Earth. What would be the effects of a large one colliding with Earth? This is the question NASA is trying to answer. They are hosting conferences and holding exercises to simulate the effects of a major asteroid impact. Thankfully, they estimate the chances of this happening soon to be extremely low. However, it could cause widespread devastation. One such catastrophic asteroid strike happened 65 million years ago. It is believed that it caused so much moisture and dust to enter the atmosphere that much of the sun’s light was blocked, lowering temperatures worldwide and causing the extinction of the dinosaurs. Had this not occurred, dinosaurs wouldn’t have gone extinct.

What would a language be like if it didn't make any simplifications or generalizations? It would be a language in which every word was a proper noun. Because you don't want to gloss over the differences between snakes that are slightly different in some respect, every snake must have its own name. Furthermore, every event must have its own verb, because not every occasion of thinking or dancing or talking is identical. There might be some superintelligent race of beings that could know such a language, but they would have to know virtually everything in the world to learn all these names. Human language has taken a different route ─ many fewer names, with a loss of precision, but a basic vocabulary that is readily acquired. However, this fact is not simply a compromise with our limited cognitive capacity. By using the same word for different objects, we're communicating information about those things. Calling two different-looking things "spider" communicates that they probably have eight legs, weave nests, eat insects, and other noticeable details, which we would not know if we gave them all their own separate names.
