Compost is an organic substance which can be added to garden soil or dirt to improve its overall quality. It is beneficial in several ways. First, adding compost to garden soil makes plants healthier. This is because compost contains nutrients which are extremely important and act as food for the plants. In addition, soil with compost added to it retains water for a longer period of time. This means that water stays in the soil longer and that plants can survive during extended dry periods. Another benefit of compost is that it reduces the amount of garbage that a household needs to get rid of. Twenty-four percent of household trash in the United States is made up of organic material which can be composted instead of being thrown away. When items like used coffee grounds, banana peels, and old newspapers are composted instead of being thrown in the trash, the whole community benefits.

 

① Water remains in compost-enriched soil for shorter periods due to faster drainage.

② Compost is an organic substance that enhances the overall quality of garden soil.

③ Plants become healthier when compost is added to the soil they grow in.

④ Composting household waste reduces the total amount of garbage a household produces.

⑤ Items such as coffee grounds and banana peels can serve as composting materials.

지문 해석

퇴비(compost)는 정원 토양이나 흙에 첨가하여 전반적인 품질을 개선할 수 있는 유기 물질이다. 여러 면에서 유익하다. 첫째, 퇴비를 정원 토양에 첨가하면 식물이 더 건강해진다. 이는 퇴비에 식물의 먹이 역할을 하는 극도로 중요한 영양소가 포함되어 있기 때문이다. 또한, 퇴비가 첨가된 토양은 더 오랜 기간 수분을 유지한다. 이는 물이 토양에 더 오래 머물러 식물이 장기간의 건조 기간에도 생존할 수 있음을 의미한다. 퇴비의 또 다른 이점은 가정에서 처리해야 하는 쓰레기의 양을 줄여준다는 것이다. 미국 가정 쓰레기의 24%는 버려지는 대신 퇴비화할 수 있는 유기물로 구성되어 있다. 사용한 커피 찌꺼기, 바나나 껍질, 오래된 신문 같은 것들을 쓰레기통에 버리는 대신 퇴비화하면 지역 사회 전체가 혜택을 받는다.

풀이 흐름

이 지문은 퇴비의 세 가지 이점을 순서대로 설명한다. 식물 건강 개선, 수분 보유력 향상, 쓰레기 감소이다. 특히 수분 보유에 관한 서술을 정확히 파악하는 것이 핵심이다.

지문은 "soil with compost added to it retains water for a longer period of time"이라고 명시한다. 즉, 퇴비가 첨가된 토양은 수분을 "더 오랜 기간(longer period)" 유지한다는 것이다.

따라서 퇴비가 첨가된 토양에서 물이 "더 짧은 기간(shorter periods)" 머문다고 서술하는 선지가 있다면, 이는 지문과 정면으로 모순된다.

전체 선지 분석

선지	판정	근거
① Water remains in compost-enriched soil for shorter periods due to faster drainage.	❌ 불일치	지문은 "soil with compost added to it retains water for a longer period of time" + "water stays in the soil longer"라고 명시. shorter periods ↔ longer period로 정반대. 또한 "faster drainage(더 빠른 배수)"는 지문에 전혀 언급되지 않는다.
② Compost is an organic substance that enhances the overall quality of garden soil.	✅ 일치	지문의 "Compost is an organic substance which can be added to garden soil or dirt to improve its overall quality"와 직접 대응. enhances = improve.
③ Plants become healthier when compost is added to the soil they grow in.	✅ 일치	지문의 "adding compost to garden soil makes plants healthier"와 정확히 대응.
④ Composting household waste reduces the total amount of garbage a household produces.	✅ 일치	지문의 "it reduces the amount of garbage that a household needs to get rid of"와 일치. reduces the total amount = reduces the amount.
⑤ Items such as coffee grounds and banana peels can serve as composting materials.	✅ 일치	지문의 "items like used coffee grounds, banana peels, and old newspapers are composted"와 직접 대응. serve as composting materials = are composted.

핵심 문장 정리

"Soil with compost added to it retains water for a longer period of time. This means that water stays in the soil longer."

이 두 문장이 ①번 선지의 오류를 판별하는 결정적 근거다. 지문은 퇴비가 첨가된 토양이 수분을 "더 오래(longer)" 유지한다고 두 번이나 강조하는 반면, ①번은 "더 짧은 기간(shorter periods)" 머문다고 정반대로 서술하며, 지문에 없는 "더 빠른 배수(faster drainage)"라는 원인까지 추가했다.

한 줄 정리

퇴비가 첨가된 토양에서 물은 "더 짧은 기간" 머무는 것이 아니라 오히려 "더 오랜 기간" 유지되어 식물이 건조한 시기에도 생존할 수 있다.

1번 지문

Detailed study over the past two or three decades is showing that the complex forms of natural systems are essential to their functioning. The attempt to straighten rivers and give them regular cross-sections is perhaps the most disastrous example of this form-and-function relationship. The natural river has a very irregular form: it curves a lot, spills across floodplains, and leaks into wetlands, giving it an ever-changing and incredibly complex shoreline. This allows the river to accommodate variations in water level and speed. Pushing the river into tidy geometry destroys functional capacity and results in disasters like the Mississippi floods of 1927 and 1993 and, more recently, the unnatural disaster of Hurricane Katrina. A $50 billion plan to "let the river loose" in Louisiana recognizes that the controlled Mississippi is washing away twenty-four square miles of that state annually.

Researchers are working on a project that asks coastal towns how they are preparing for rising sea levels. Some towns have risk assessments; some towns even have a plan. But it's a rare town that is actually carrying out a plan. One reason we've failed to act on climate change is the common belief that it is far away in time and space. For decades, climate change was a prediction about the future, so scientists talked about it in the future tense. This became a habit ― so that even today many scientists still use the future tense, even though we know that a climate crisis is ongoing. Scientists also often focus on regions most affected by the crisis, such as Bangladesh or the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which for most Americans are physically remote.

Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are harmed visibly ― strangled by abandoned fishing nets or discarded six-pack rings. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across. On Hawaii’s Big Island, on a beach that seemingly should have been pristine I walked ankle-deep through microplastics. They crunched like Rice Krispies under my feet. After that, I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a looming catastrophe, worth mentioning alongside climate change.
