2025학년도 수능 영어 19번 (홀수형)



19. 다음 글에 드러난 Peter의 심경 변화로 가장 적절한 것은?

It was Valentine’s Day on Friday and Peter was certain that his wife, Amy, was going to love his surprise. Peter had spent a long time searching online for an event that would be a new way to spend time with Amy. He had finally found the perfect thing for her. She often told him that she liked to go to places she had never visited before, and he was absolutely sure that she would love going to the new, five-star restaurant downtown. He smiled as he called the restaurant and asked for a reservation for Friday. Unfortunately, his smile quickly disappeared when he was told that the restaurant was fully reserved. “That’s too bad,” he said quietly. “I thought that I had found the right place.”

① relaxed → indifferent
② confident → disappointed
③ confused → satisfied
④ jealous→ discouraged
⑤ embarrassed → joyful

심경 변화인데, 보기들을 한번 보세요. 두 가지 입니다.

그러면 이건 뻔하죠. 서로 약간 반대되는 의미여야 하겠죠? 그러면 지문 안 읽어도 2번이 답이라고 추측은 해 볼 수 있어요. 

심경 변화라는 게 글 전체 지문을 통해서 이루어지지만, 이것도 앞 두 문장 정도, 그리고 뒤 두 문장 정도면 바로 답 나옵니다. 

앞 부분을 보세요. 

끝 부분 한번 볼까요?

이 두 문장만 읽어내고 해석할 수 있으면 답 나오잖아요.

처음엔 certain 했는데, 나중에 웃음이 사라졌다라… 실망이죠?

정답은 2번이 되겠네요.

말 그대로 key 가 되는 단어들이 눈에 들어온다면 10초 짜리 문제입니다.

당연히 많은 연습이 필요하고요.
