(A)

A seventeen-year-old German boy named Erik Brandes stepped out onto the empty vast stage of the Cologne Opera House. It was the most exciting day of Erik’s life. (a) The youngest concert promoter in Germany had persuaded the Opera House to host a late-night concert of improvised jazz by the American pianist Keith Jarrett. The concert was a sellout, and later that evening, Keith would sit down at the piano and play.                                         *improvise 즉흥적으로 연주하다

(B)

When Keith began to play, everybody immediately knew this was magic. Erik too was deeply touched. Keith was unexpectedly producing the performance of a lifetime despite the shortcomings of the piano. (b) His left hand produced thundering, repetitive bass riffs as a way of covering up the piano’s lack of resonance. Keith really had to play that piano very hard to get enough volume to get to the balconies. Standing up and sitting down, Keith played the unplayable piano to produce something unique. It wasn’t the music that he ever imagined playing. But faced with a challenge, he accepted it and flew high.

*bass riff 저음 반복 악절 *resonance 울림, 반향

(C)

Understandably, Keith didn’t want to perform. He left and went to wait in his car, leaving Erik to anticipate the arrival of soon-to-be furious concert-goers. Desperate, (c) the German teenager caught up with Keith and begged the jazz pianist to play. The pianist looked out at him standing in the rain, completely soaked, and took pity on him. “Never forget,” Keith said. “Only for (d) you.” A few hours later, Keith walked out to the unplayable piano in front of a packed concert hall.

(D)

But when Erik introduced Keith and his producer Manfred to the piano on the stage that afternoon, it didn’t go well. Keith and Manfred played a few notes. Then after a long silence, Manfred came to (e) him and said, “Erik, if you don’t get another piano, Keith can’t play tonight.” Erik knew that Keith had requested a specific instrument, which the Opera House had agreed to provide. What he hadn’t realized was that the administrative staff hadn’t been able to find the requested Bösendorfer piano, and they had instead installed a tiny little Bösendorfer that was in poor condition.

(A)

Guthmann’s right leg had started to hurt halfway through the race. Now the pain was extreme. It was as painful as if she had broken a bone. She stopped, tears running down her face, just as Huff appeared at full sprint on her left. Huff’s first reaction was disbelief. She ran three miles that fast, (a) she thought, and she’s going to stop right there? Right at the finish line? Runners are taught to always pass slower rivals. Finish the race strong.

(B)

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Guthmann’s coach, David Malady. “Kids are always falling apart at or near the finish line — sick, tired, whatever. And they just get passed. Over and over. You just don’t stop and grab somebody and help them. It’s like an unwritten rule. You just don’t. But Jenna did.” To show his thanks, Malady invited Huff to Cuthbertson’s fall athletics banquet. Huff got a standing ovation from the crowd and a Cuthbertson varsity letter. (b) She also got a big hug from Guthmann.

*varsity (대학·고등학교의) 대표팀

(C)

She let Guthmann cross the line first. Cuthbertson High would be going to the state tournament. “She deserved to be in front of me,” Huff explained. “She would have beaten me if she hadn’t gotten hurt.” Most of the spectators who witnessed the event were teary-eyed. The father of another competitor told Huff that what (c) she did was the best thing he had ever seen. Meanwhile, race officials huddled to make a decision. Technically, no runner is allowed to help another runner. But they decided to let the results stand.

(D)

But that’s not what went through Jenna Huff’s mind. “I didn’t think about passing her,” she said. “It wouldn’t have been right, because (d) she was hurt.” Instead, she gently grabbed Guthmann by the elbow. She said, “Come on. We’re going to run, and we’re going to do it now.” For the next 50 yards, she guided Guthmann, whom she had never met, to the finish line, step by step. “Come on,” (e) she kept telling her. “Look, it’s right there.” At the very end, it was Huff who stopped.

[4~6] 다음 글을 읽고 물음에 답하시오.

(A)

It was my elderly mother’s first visit to Australia from New Zealand since the death of my husband after a long battle with cancer. I arrived at Brisbane airport early in the morning to discover that her flight had been delayed, but no new arrival time had been posted. Having driven for a long time, I decided to sit down and have coffee before making inquiries. As I did so, an elegant woman came in and also ordered coffee. We sat a few tables apart, glancing at each other occasionally.

(B)

That was over 12 years ago. Valerie and I still keep in contact and we have spent many happy times together since our chance meeting at the airport. (a) She has become a wonderful friend, bringing an added sparkle to my life and offering a shoulder to lean on whenever needed. I will be forever thankful that we both forgot to check the flight arrivals that day.

(C)

It was a long drive to Valerie’s home, and before long we were chatting like old friends. On the way she told me she, too, had lost (b) her husband to cancer. She gave me a lovely lunch and later checked on the flight, only to find there had been further delays. So we chatted on and the hours flew by. We ended up spending the whole day and most of the evening together before it was time to head back. At midnight the plane carrying my elderly mother finally arrived and I could finally find out (c) her among tired passengers. It would have been a very long wait alone.

(D)

Finally, plucking up courage, I asked which flight she was waiting for. Valerie, as (d) she introduced herself, was waiting for the same plane. We both said that we usually checked arrival times before heading for the airport. Afterwards we headed for the information desk together. The flight had been delayed eight hours, we were told. I didn’t want to drive home and back again. Neither did I want to sit at the airport all that time. My new acquaintance said she was going home. She must have seen the downcast look on my face, and asked if I’d like to go home with (e) her until the flight arrived. “That would be lovely,” I replied.

(A)

According to Spanish records, two imperial Spanish treasure ships—Neustra Senora de Atocha and Santa Margarita—sank near the Keys of Matecumbe in a hurricane in 1622. Mel Fisher, a scuba diver, was determined to locate those ships and salvage their treasure. Wondering where the two treasure ships sank, he searched near the islands of Upper and Lower Matecumbe off southern Florida for months with no success.

(B)

Mel moved his salvage ships again—this time to the west of the Marquesas. And there, in June of 1971, he found the treasure of the Santa Margarita. It took several more years for Mel to locate the Atocha and to recover its fortune in gold, silver, and jewels. However, he might still be looking in the wrong place if his friend hadn’t noticed that one wrong word.

(C)

Mel had hardly learned this when he moved his salvage ships to the new site. In 1970, Mel received a copy of another document from Spain that said the Atocha sank east of the last Key. He searched that area for several months, but found nothing. Then Eugene Lyon made an important discovery. The original documents said that the ships sank to the veste of the island, not to the este. West, not east!

(D)

One day in 1970, Eugene Lyon, a friend of Mel, happened to find a document dated 1622. Old and worm-eaten were the pages. At the end of the document, Lyon read that the Margarita sank near the Marquesas Keys. Lyon looked at old maps of the Florida Keys and learned that at the time of the shipwrecks, all the Keys were called Matecumbe. The Marquesas Keys referred to in the old document were about a hundred miles from Mel’s current location.

In terms of change, it would be safe ① to say that no other industry is as dynamic as the computer graphics industry. While still relatively ② young, it has already spread into many different and diverse areas. These include modeling, animation, and rendering. Each distinct area continually pushes forward with greater improvements and advancements. As a result, never before ③ has such images of breathtaking realism and believability been produced as those seen today. Never before have there been scientific simulations of such complexity. Never before have there been interactive games with the depth of engagement as right now. If one thing is sure in the computer graphics industry, it is that change is inevitable and ④ that it is continuing at an ever quickening pace. The steady progress of the past

pales in comparison to the speed ⑤ with which new inventions and ideas are both conceived and implemented right now.
