Q7 어법1 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 어법상 틀린 것은?

Social media companies are working to keep you on site or ① attempt to deliver results useful to you. You can see this personalization ② reflected in the results of search engines, which try to maximize relevance: searching for "bakery" in New York should return different results than searching in Paris. Features like the little predictive-text cues of autocomplete also look to maximize relevance by suggesting refinements: typing in "cats" might prompt the user with "cats movie" or "cats that don't shed." Autocomplete suggestions offer a look into the algorithm's understanding of accumulated user behavior - an immensely important part of how key social media algorithms work. The outputs are personalized, but the data sets are massive, and the platforms ③ are mining for similarities across vast quantities of user information. If a whole lot of users near you or similar to you complete the search ④ that you've begun with specific words, the autocomplete algorithm takes that into account and may be more likely to suggest them to you. Since the results ⑤ are derived from data related to millions of searches, autocomplete is, in a sense, holding a mirror up to society.

정답 ①

해설 앞선 'working'과 병렬 구조를 이루어야 하므로 현재분사 형태가 적절합니다.

Social media companies are working to keep you on site or attempting to deliver results useful to you. You can see this personalization reflected in the results of search engines, which try to maximize relevance: searching for "bakery" in New York should return different results than searching in Paris.

(A) Features like the little predictive-text cues of autocomplete also look to maximize relevance by suggesting refinements: typing in "cats" might prompt the user with "cats movie" or "cats that don't shed." Autocomplete suggestions offer a look into the algorithm's understanding of accumulated user behavior - an immensely important part of how key social media algorithms work.

(B) The outputs are personalized, but the data sets are massive, and the platforms are mining for similarities across vast quantities of user information. If a whole lot of users near you or similar to you complete the search that you've begun with specific words, the autocomplete algorithm takes that into account and may be more likely to suggest them to you.

(C) Since the results are derived from data related to millions of searches, autocomplete is, in a sense, holding a mirror up to society.

• ① (A) - (B) - (C)
• ② (B) - (A) - (C)
• ③ (B) - (C) - (A)
• ④ (C) - (A) - (B)
• ⑤ (C) - (B) - (A)

정답 ①

해설 정답 순서: (A) → (B) → (C)

Q12 요약문빈칸 다음 글을 아래와 같이 요약하고자 한다. 빈칸에 들어갈 알맞은 어휘를 주어진 철자로 시작하여 각 한 단어로 답안을 작성하시오.

Social media platforms and search engines utilize sophisticated (a)a____________ to maximize (b)r____________ by (c)p____________ user experiences. These systems analyze massive datasets of accumulated behavior to predict and suggest information tailored to individual needs. By identifying patterns across vast quantities of user data, autocomplete features effectively reflect collective (d)s____________ trends. Consequently, these digital tools act as a mirror, shaping how information is presented based on the shared actions of millions of people.

정답
(a) algorithms [알고리즘들; 계산 방법들] - Social media platforms and search engines utilize sophisticated algorithms to maximize relevance by personalizing user experiences.
(b) relevance [관련성; 중요성; 적절성] - Social media platforms and search engines utilize sophisticated algorithms to maximize relevance by personalizing user experiences.
(c) personalizing [개인화하다; 인격화하다] - Social media platforms and search engines utilize sophisticated algorithms to maximize relevance by personalizing user experiences.
(d) societal [사회의] - By identifying patterns across vast quantities of user data, autocomplete features effectively reflect collective societal trends.
