The symbolism of the mountain in world mythology was of such crucial importance to the concept of cosmic order that the ancient Mesopotamians tried to replicate the mountain by building pyramidal mud brick towers called ziggurats. These towers were constructed in most major cities between 2200 and 550 BCE, and most likely served as the observatories from which the Babylonians calculated the movements of the celestial bodies and developed astronomical methods unrivaled even by scientists of the Victorian Age. To a large extent, the vision of the earth and the sky determined early perceptions of the universe. The Mesopotamians felt the need to build ziggurats high enough to afford them a panoramic view of the world, and the Maya tried to achieve something similar with their pyramids and temple towers. Those early peoples replicated the world mountain and thus, they believed, simulated the power of the peaks.

 

① The Babylonians' astronomical methods were inferior to those developed during the Victorian Age.

② The Mesopotamians built ziggurats partly because mountain symbolism was central to their concept of cosmic order.

③ Both the Mesopotamians and the Maya built tall structures to gain elevated perspectives of their surroundings.

④ The ziggurats served as observatories for calculating the movements of celestial bodies.

⑤ Early peoples believed that replicating the world mountain allowed them to harness the power of the peaks.

지문 해석

세계 신화에서 산의 상징성은 우주 질서의 개념에 너무나 결정적으로 중요하여, 고대 메소포타미아인들은 지구라트(ziggurat)라고 불리는 피라미드형 진흙 벽돌 탑을 건설함으로써 산을 복제하려 했다. 이 탑들은 기원전 2200년에서 550년 사이에 대부분의 주요 도시에서 건설되었으며, 바빌로니아인들이 천체의 움직임을 계산하고 빅토리아 시대 과학자들조차 필적할 수 없는(unrivaled even by) 천문학적 방법을 개발한 천문대 역할을 했을 가능성이 높다. 상당 부분, 땅과 하늘에 대한 비전이 우주에 대한 초기 인식을 결정했다. 메소포타미아인들은 세상의 파노라마적 전망을 확보할 만큼 충분히 높은 지구라트를 건설할 필요를 느꼈고, 마야인들도 피라미드와 사원 탑으로 비슷한 것을 달성하려 했다. 이 초기 민족들은 세계의 산을 복제했고, 그렇게 함으로써 봉우리의 힘을 모방했다고 믿었다.

풀이 흐름

이 지문에서 가장 주의 깊게 읽어야 할 부분은 바빌로니아인들의 천문학적 방법에 대한 비교 평가이다. 특히 "unrivaled even by"라는 표현의 의미를 정확히 파악하는 것이 핵심이다. 지문은 "developed astronomical methods unrivaled even by scientists of the Victorian Age"라고 서술한다. "unrivaled even by"는 "~조차 필적할 수 없는"이라는 의미이다. 즉, 바빌로니아인들의 천문학적 방법이 빅토리아 시대 과학자들보다 우월하거나 적어도 동등했다는 것이다.

따라서 바빌로니아인들의 천문학적 방법이 빅토리아 시대에 개발된 것보다 "열등했다(were inferior to)"고 서술하는 선지가 있다면, 이는 지문과 정면으로 모순된다.

선지	판정	근거
① The Babylonians' astronomical methods were inferior to those developed during the Victorian Age.	❌ 불일치	지문은 "developed astronomical methods unrivaled even by scientists of the Victorian Age"라고 명시. inferior ↔ unrivaled even by로 정반대. 바빌로니아의 방법이 열등한 것이 아니라 빅토리아 시대 과학자들조차 필적할 수 없었다.
② The Mesopotamians built ziggurats partly because mountain symbolism was central to their concept of cosmic order.	✅ 일치	지문의 "The symbolism of the mountain... was of such crucial importance to the concept of cosmic order that the ancient Mesopotamians tried to replicate the mountain by building... ziggurats"와 직접 대응. central = crucial importance.
③ Both the Mesopotamians and the Maya built tall structures to gain elevated perspectives of their surroundings.	✅ 일치	지문의 "The Mesopotamians felt the need to build ziggurats high enough to afford them a panoramic view" + "the Maya tried to achieve something similar"와 정확히 대응.
④ The ziggurats served as observatories for calculating the movements of celestial bodies.	✅ 일치	지문의 "most likely served as the observatories from which the Babylonians calculated the movements of the celestial bodies"와 직접 대응.

핵심 문장 정리

"Developed astronomical methods unrivaled even by scientists of the Victorian Age."

이 문장이 ①번 선지의 오류를 판별하는 결정적 근거다. 지문은 바빌로니아인들의 천문학적 방법이 빅토리아 시대 과학자들조차 "필적할 수 없었다(unrivaled even by)"고 서술하여 그 우수성을 강조하는 반면, ①번은 "열등했다(were inferior to)"고 정반대로 서술했다.

한 줄 정리

바빌로니아인들의 천문학적 방법은 빅토리아 시대에 개발된 것보다 "열등한" 것이 아니라, 빅토리아 시대 과학자들조차 "필적할 수 없을" 정도로 뛰어났다.

Interest in extremely long periods of time sets geology and astronomy apart from other sciences. Geologists think in terms of billions of years for the age of Earth and its oldest rocks ─ numbers that, like the national debt, are not easily understood. Nevertheless, the time scales of geological activity are important for environmental geologists because they provide a way to measure human impacts on the natural world. For example, we would like to know the rate of natural soil formation from solid rock to determine whether topsoil erosion from agriculture is too great. Likewise, understanding how climate has changed over millions of years is vital to properly assess current global warming trends. Fortunately, clues to past environmental change are well preserved in many different kinds of rocks.

Have humans evolved food preferences? Both humans and rats have evolved taste preferences for sweet foods, which provide rich sources of calories. A study of food preferences among the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania found that honey was the most highly preferred food item, the item that has the highest caloric value. Human newborn infants also show a strong preference for sweet liquids. Both humans and rats dislike bitter and sour foods, which tend to contain toxins. They also adaptively adjust their eating behavior in response to deficits in water, calories, and salt. Experiments show that rats display an immediate liking for salt the first time they experience a salt deficiency. They likewise increase their intake of sweets and water when their energy and fluids become depleted. These appear to be specific evolved mechanisms, designed to deal with the adaptive problem of food selection and coordinate consumption patterns with physical needs.

Today, people are constantly hammering away on a keyboard or texting on a smartphone. They are no longer writing by hand. Does this make penmanship an outdated and inefficient mode of communication or is there value in trying to keep it? At one time, writing clearly and quickly was essential to everything from public documents to personal letters. However, in the age of e-mail and text messages, most people rarely need to write more than a shopping list or a short note. Although handwritten communication is less widespread than it once was, many people continue to believe that the art of penmanship must be protected. They suggest it’s essential to reading handwritten documents and thus maintaining a direct connection with the past. For them, it’s a tragedy that a person might one day find his grandmother’s diary and be unable to read it. In addition, people note that a person’s handwriting is distinctive and can be as personal as his voice or laugh. By preserving handwritten communication, they claim, we are also maintaining our connection with the individuality of the writer. Interestingly, the development of technology has not completely removed the need to write by hand. In fact, it seems highly unlikely that handwritten communication will ever disappear completely, since there is always the possibility of not having a computer available at a particular moment. Even in the digital age, the handwritten word is very much alive and well, and it looks like that isn’t going to change.
