평가원은 EBS 지문을 쓰지 않는다

평가원은 EBS 지문을 쓰지 않는다.

EBS가 가져온 원문을 사용한다.

저번 6월 모의평가에는 EBS 지문이 21개, 이번 9월 모의평가에는 19개가 사용되었습니다. EBS 교재를 열심히 풀어봤던 학생들은 낯익은 지문들을 많이 발견했을 것입니다. 하지만 좀 이상하지 않았나요? 내용은 비슷한데, 뭔가 EBS 지문에 없는 내용이 들어있거나, 단어나 표현이 더 어려워진 경우가 있는 것 같지 않나요?

EBS 지문을 그대로 가져다가 썼다면, EBS 지문 그대로이거나 EBS 지문보다 간소해져야 마땅하고 단어나 표현이 쉬워질 수는 있어도 더 어려워지는 경우는 있을 수 없습니다. 어떻게 된 일일까요?

평가원은 EBS 지문을 쓰지 않기 때문입니다. 평가원은 EBS가 가져다 쓴 원저작의 글을 그대로 가져오거나 그 원저작을 변형하여 출제하고 있습니다. EBS 연계가 아닙니다. EBS 원저작 연계입니다. 이번 9월 모의평가의 대표적 예문 몇 개를 소개하겠습니다.

You have to pay close attention to someone’s normal pattern in order to notice a deviation from it when he or she lies. Sometimes the variation is as subtle as a pause. Other times it is obvious and abrupt. I recently saw a news interview with an acquaintance who I was certain was going to lie about a few particularly sensitive issues, and lie she did. During most of her interview she was calm and direct, but when she started lying, her manner changed dramatically: she threw her head back, laughed in ‘disbelief,’ and shook her head back and forth. It is true that the questions dealt with very personal issues, but I have found that in general, no matter how touchy the question, if a person is telling the truth his or her manner will not change significantly or abruptly.

EBS 지문과는 달리 9월 모평 지문은 abrupt가 추가되어 있고, she did lie도 lie she did로 도치되어 있습니다. 얼핏 보면 EBS 지문을 약간 어렵게 수정한 것 같습니다. 그렇지 않습니다. 원저작이 그렇게 되어 있습니다.

Difficulty in assessing information is aggravated by the overabundance of information at our disposal. While this is obvious enough in some realms ― for example, consider how much information is potentially relevant for estimating the value of Microsoft stock ― even when the information set seems less cluttered, information overload, a state of confusion and decision avoidance, can still occur. In one experiment, shoppers in a supermarket were presented with free samples of jams and jellies. In the first treatment, a small selection was available for tasting; in the second, a large selection was available. While everyone likes the idea of abundant choice, and indeed the table with the greater selection attracted larger crowds, it was the table with fewer samples that led to the most sales. The likely reason is that the large selection led to information overload, the feeling that the decision was too complicated for immediate action.

People can have difficulty processing information in certain situations. The difficulty is aggravated by reception of more information than is necessary. In one experiment, shoppers in a supermarket were presented with free samples of jams and jellies. In the first treatment, a small selection was available for tasting; in the second, a large selection was available. While everyone likes the idea of abundant choice, and indeed the table with the greater selection attracted larger crowds, it was the table with fewer samples that led to the most sales. The likely reason is that the large selection led to information overload, the feeling that the decision was too complicated for immediate action. As we all know from personal experience, procrastination will probably lead to indefinite inaction.

맨 앞 부분, EBS 지문은 두 문장으로 되어 있는데, 9월 모평은 한 문장으로 축약되어 있는 것처럼 보입니다. 그리고 processing → assessing, more....than is necessary → overabundance로 어려운 표현으로 바뀌어 있고, at our disposal은 아예 EBS 지문에는 보이지 않습니다. 더 심각한 것은 파란색으로 표시된 네 줄은 EBS 지문에 아예 없습니다. 9월 모평 출제자가 새로 창작해서 넣었을 리는 없겠죠? 원저작과 대조해 보세요.

Difficulty assessing information is exacerbated by the plethora of information at our disposal. While this is obvious enough in some realms - for example, consider how much information is potentially relevant for estimating the value of Microsoft stock - even when the information set seems less cluttered, information overload, a state of confusion and decision avoidance, can still occur. In one experiment, shoppers in a supermarket were presented with free samples of jams and jellies. In the first treatment, a small selection was a available for tasting; in the second, a large selection was available. While everyone likes the idea of abundant choice, and indeed the table with the greater selection attracted larger crowds, it was the table with fewer samples that led to the most sales. The likely reason is that the large selection led to information overload, the feeling that the decision was to complicated for immediate action. As we all know from personal experience, procrastination will probably lead to indefinite inaction.

특히 이 문제는 9월 모평에서 빈칸문제로 출제되었는데요, assessing을 몰라서 틀린 학생들이 많았습니다. 원저작에는 assessing으로 되어 있으므로 원저작으로 공부한 학생은 쉽게 맞출 수 있었을 것입니다. 9월 모평의 파란색 부분은 원문을 그대로 옮긴 거네요! 원저작의 exacerbated, plethora는 각각 aggravated, overabundance로, 조금 쉬운 단어로 교체했습니다. plethora를 EBS는 more....than is necessary로 고친 것이고, 9월 모평 출제자는 overabundance로 고친 셈입니다.

Since the 1980's, zoos have strived to reproduce the natural habitats of their animals, replacing concrete floors and steel bars with grass, rocks, trees, and pools of water. These environments may simulate the wild, but the animals do not have to worry about finding food, shelter, or safety from predators. While this may not seem like such a bad deal at first glance, the animals experience numerous complications. The zebras live constantly in fear, smelling the lions in the nearby Great Cats exhibit every day and finding themselves unable to escape. There is no possibility of migrating or of storing food for the winter, which must seem to promise equally certain doom to a bird or bear. In short, zoo life is utterly incompatible with an animal's most deeply-rooted survival instincts.

Since the 1980s, zoos have strived to reproduce the natural habitats of their animals, replacing concrete floors and steel bars with grass, trees, and pools of water. These environments may imitate the wild, but the animals don't have to worry about finding food, shelter, or safety from predators. While this may not seem like such a bad deal at first glance, the animals experience numerouscomplications. The zebras living next door to the Great Cats exhibit constantly smell the lions, but find themselves unable to run away. There's no possibility of migrating or of storing food for the winter, which must seem to promise equally certain nervousness to a bird or bear. In short, zoo life is utterly ill-suited to animal's most deeply ingrained survival instincts.

Since the 1970s and 1980s, zoos have strived to reproduce the natural habitats of their animals, replacing concrete floors and steel bars with grass, boulders, trees, and pools of water. These environments may simulate the wild, but the animals don’t have to worry about finding food, shelter, or safety from predators; all the necessities of life seem to be provided for them. While this may not seem like such a bad deal at first glance, the animals experience numerous complications. The zebras live constantly under the sword of Damocles, smelling the lions in the nearby Great Cats exhibit every day and finding themselves unable to escape. There’s no possibility of migrating or of hoarding food for the winter, which must seem to promise equally certain doom to a bird or bear. In fact, the animals have no way of even knowing whether the food that has magically appeared each day thus far will appear again tomorrow, and no power to provide for themselves. In short, zoo life is utterly incompatible with an animal’s most deeply ingrained survival instincts.

EBS는 원저작의 simulate를 imitate로 바꾸었는데, 모평은 simulate로 출제하였습니다. EBS는 원저작의 incompatible with를 ill-suited to로 바꾸었는데, 모평은 incompatible with로 출제하였습니다. 원저작을 사용했다는 것이죠. 마지막으로 원저작에 live constantly under the sword of Damocles, smelling.....and finding 으로 되어 있던 부분을, EBS는 living next door to....smell....and find 로 수정하였는데, 모평은 live constantly in fear, smelling....and finding 으로 출제하였습니다. under the sword of Damocles라는 어려운 신화 얘기를 in fear로 바꾸었을 뿐, 기본 문장 구조는 원저자의 원문과 일치합니다.

결론

저는 [김찬휘의 EBS 변형독해] 5부작 시리즈에서 모두 원저작의 원문을 사용하고 있습니다. 교육과정평가원의 출제자들이 EBS 지문을 사용하지 않고 원저작의 지문을 사용하고 있다는 것은, 제 [김찬휘의 EBS 변형독해] 노선의 올바름을 적나라하게 입증한 것이라 자부하고 싶습니다. I should be proud of myself, right? 특히 EBS 책의 어휘를 외워야 하는 수험생의 입장에서 어휘가 원저작의 어휘와 같다는 것은, EBS 지문으로 보는 것보다 제 변형독해 지문으로 공부하면서 어휘를 외우는 것이 더 효과적이겠습니다.

10주 남은 여러분들의 분투를 응원하기 위해, 1탄 [수능특강 변형독해], 2탄 [영어독해연습1 변형독해], 3탄 [영어독해연습2 변형독해] 강의 세 개 모두를 추석까지 무한 반복할 수 있도록 티치미(www.teachme.co.kr)에 무료로 공개하였습니다. 열심히 공부하세요. 그리고 4탄 [330제 변형독해], 5탄 [수능완성 변형독해]도 기대해 주세요. 이 두 책에서 수능에 제일 많이 출제될 것입니다.
