18강 어휘 적절성 파악, 함축 의미 추론

Some prominent journalists say that archaeologists should work with treasure hunters because treasure hunters have accumulated valuable historical artifacts that can reveal much about the past. But archaeologists are not asked to cooperate with tomb robbers, who also have valuable historical artifacts. The quest for profit and the search for knowledge cannot coexist in archaeology because of the time factor. Rather incredibly, one archaeologist employed by a treasure hunting firm said that as long as archaeologists are given six months to shipwrecked artifacts before they are sold, no historical knowledge is lost! On the contrary, archaeologists and assistants from tie INA (Institute of Nautical Archaeology) needed more than a decade of year-round conservation before they could even catalog all the finds from an eleventh-century AD wreck they had excavated. Then, to interpret those finds, they had to learn Russian, Bulgarian, and Romaninan, without which they would never have learned the true nature of the site. Could a "commercial archaeologist" have waited more than a decade or so before selling the finds?

Socioeconomic status is a latent variable in the sense that, like mood or well-being, it cannot be directly measured. Unlike height or weight, there is no mechanical device that [forbids/permits] direct and relatively precise measurement. Instead, socioeconomic status is a complicated construct that summarizes a person or group's access to culturally relevant resources useful for succeeding in, if not moving up, the social hierarchy. As such, to have teeth, socioeconomic status measures must be tied to [general/particular] cultures, eras, and even geographic places. It is therefore difficult to imagine a universal measure of socioeconomic status that would be helpful in all research. The roots of power may be similar among all human societies, but the nuances of social stratification and social mobility seem to be unique enough to require [differentiation / standardization] in socioeconomic status measures across time, space, and place.

Watching television with my family was a relaxing and cheerful experience. Increasingly, however, the media experience in the home is a [collective/solitary] activity. Although expensive big-screen televisions may dominate the family room, the viewing options have increased so dramatically that family members' content preferences may rarely coincide. Multiple sets mean that each family member can view one privately. The plethora of other media options can further [diminish/enhance] shared media experiences ,as family members choose video games, Internet surfing and instant messaging, or listening to music in their room or on headphones. As Andreason notes, much of the newer media to which youth are exposed is [familiar/unfamiliar] to parents, ranging from social networking website video clips to the mechanics of instant messaging. This makes them have fewer opportunities to share media experiences with their children.

Avalanches are caused by instability of the snow cover when an underlying snow layer is loosened and released. With rising temperature, the crystals lose their binding properties. The best protection against avalanches is thick forests and vegetation as these do not lead to the dispersion of large snow masses. If afforestation is not possible, then one needs to employ artificial protective barriers like fences that reduce the wind intensity, restricting the formation of snowbanks. Barriers made of steel or concrete divide the incline into smaller partitions, so snow cover does not slip down the slope as one mass. Another measure to protect against avalanches is controlled snow blasts. One can prevent the uncontrolled descent of avalanches by triggering smaller avalanches in a controlled manner with the help of explosives or blast agents.

Fog makes the shape and color of objects impossible to know. Learn to create enough of it. In modern times Asian armies have proven particularly adept at this art: At the battles of Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima during World War 2, American soldiers were astounded at the ability of their Japanese foes to blend into the various terrains of the Pacific theater. By sewing grass, twigs, and foliage to their uniforms and helmets, the Japanese would merge with the forest -but the forest would incrementally advance, undetected until it was too late. Nor could the Americans pinpoint the Japanese guns, for their barrels were concealed in natural rock crevices or were hidden under removable camouflage covers. The North Vietnamese were equally brilliant at camouflage, reinforcing their skills by the use of tunnels and underground chambers that allowed armed men to pop up seemingly anywhere.
