문 17. 다음 글에 나타난 Dr. Westhoff의 생각과 일치하는 것은?
The new study, being published Monday in The American
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, finds that pregnant
women who consume 200 milligrams or more of caffeine
a day ⎯the amount in 10 ounces of coffee or 25 ounces
of tea ⎯may double their risk of miscarriage. However,
Dr. Carolyn Westhoff, a professor of obstetrics and
gynecology, and epidemiology, at Columbia University
Medical Center, had reservations about the study, noting
that miscarriage is difficult to study or explain. Dr.
Westhoff said most miscarriages resulted from chromosomal
abnormalities, and there was no evidence that caffeine
could cause those problems. "I think we tend to go
overboard on saying expose your body to zero anything
when pregnant. The human race wouldn't have succeeded
if the early pregnancy was so vulnerable to a little bit
of anything. We're more robust than that."
① Caffeine could cause chromosomal abnormalities, which
eventually result in miscarriages.
② The early pregnancy is very vulnerable to even a little
caffeine.
③ You should expose your body to zero caffeine when pregnant.
④ Most miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities.

Using biofuels made from corn, sugar cane and soy
could have a greater environmental impact than burning
fossil fuels, according to experts. Although the biofuels
themselves emit fewer greenhouse gases, they all have
higher costs in terms of biodiversity loss and destruction
of farmland. The problems of climate change and
the rising cost of oil have led to a race to develop
environmentally-friendly biofuels, such as palm oil or
ethanol derived from corn and sugar cane. The EU has
proposed that 10% of all fuel used in transport should
come from biofuels by 2020 and the emerging global
market is expected to be worth billions of dollars a year.
① Fossil fuels have higher costs than biofuels in terms of
biodiversity loss.
② Climate change has no bearing on the development of
biofuels.
③ About 10 percent of all European cars should use biofuels
by 2020.
④ Ethanol is one of the environmentally-friendly biofuels.
문 19. 동물들이 단조로움을 극복하기 위해 하는 행동이 아닌 것은?
Observations have revealed that there are probably four
main ways in which animals in confined spaces try to
overcome their monotony. The first is to invent new
motor patterns for themselves such as new exercises and
gymnastics. They may also try to increase the complexity
of their environment by creating new stimulus situations:
many carnivores play with their food as though it were
a living animal. ALan Darrelternatively the animal may increase the
quantity of its reaction to normal stimuli. Hypersexuality
is one common response to this type of behavior. Finally,
they may increase the variability of their response to
stimuli such as food. Many animals can be seen playing,
pawing, advancing, and retreating from their food before
eating it. These observations of caged animals lead us
to think how far studies of this sort can throw light on
human behavior under similar conditions.
① Animals may increase the variety of their motor patterns.
② Animals may increase the quality of their reaction to
stimuli.
③ Animals may increase the variability of their response to
stimuli.
④ Animals may increase the complexity of their environment.
문 20. 다음 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?
The fall of the Soviet Union has given Vietnam a practical
usefulness to the U.S. that it never had during a war in
which fifty-eight thousand American soldiers died. The
Soviet Union's collapse has created a power vacuum in
East Asia. The American withdrawal from the Philippines
and the decrease of the U.S. military because of the end
of the Cold War and economic troubles at home are also
partially responsible for this power vacuum. This could
be more of an illusion than reality because the U.S. still
maintains both the air and naval capability to assert itself
in East Asia. However, this illusion is very powerful and
the Chinese have begun to perceive it. The Chinese are
intent on filling the vacuum. In order to curb Chinese
regional ambitions, the U.S. must strive to lift the
economic embargo, open diplomatic relations, and support
the cause of economic reform in Vietnam. The Vietnamese
believe that the more involved American business is in
Vietnam, the more China will be discouraged to invade
them. The constant threat from and fear of China
encourages the Vietnamese to make peace with the U.S.
① The power vacuum is partly attributable to the dissolution
of the Soviet Union.
② The end of the Cold War has resulted in the decrease of
the U.S. military.
③ China remains a constant threat to the Vietnamese.
④ The power vacuum has led to economic troubles in the U.S.
