GreenUrban Developments Launches Sustainable Housing Project

By Rachel Kenmore

(Austin, Texas – March 7) – GreenUrban Developments, a leader in eco-friendly construction, has announced its newest project, Harmony Hills. Located just outside Austin, the residential community will consist of 150 energy-efficient homes designed with sustainability in mind.

Harmony Hills will feature solar-paneled roofs, rainwater harvesting systems, and smart-home technologies that minimize energy consumption. The homes, which range from two-bedroom cottages to four-bedroom family houses, will be constructed using recycled and locally sourced materials. “Our aim is to redefine suburban living by providing beautiful, comfortable homes that reduce environmental impact,” said CEO Leonard Pierce.

Construction is expected to begin in July and continue for approximately 18 months. The homes will be released in phases, with the first 50 units available for occupancy by March of next year. Pre-sales have already started, and over 30% of the first-phase units have been reserved within the first week.

In addition to sustainable housing, the Harmony Hills community will include walking trails, community gardens, and a zero-emission shuttle service to nearby public transportation hubs. These amenities reflect the company’s commitment to promoting an eco-conscious lifestyle.

GreenUrban Developments has received multiple awards for innovation in sustainable construction and was recently recognized by the National Green Building Council for its efforts in carbon-neutral design.

📘 Part 7 – Set 1: Article

GreenUrban Developments Launches Sustainable Housing Project

147. What is the main purpose of the article?

정답: (A) To report on a new eco-friendly housing initiative

해석:
기사의 목적은 GreenUrban Developments라는 회사가 시작한 친환경 주택 프로젝트에 대해 보도하는 것이다.

해설:
지문 전반에서 소개되는 Harmony Hills 프로젝트는 친환경적 설계와 커뮤니티 구성 요소에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 지문의 첫 문장부터 “has announced its newest project”라는 표현이 있으며, 이는 보도문의 전형적인 시작 방식입니다. 중간에도 “Our aim is to redefine suburban living...”과 같은 회사 대표의 말이 인용되어 있고, 끝부분에서는 수상 이력까지 언급되며 전형적인 보도 기사 구조를 띕니다. (B), (C), (D)는 본문에서 전혀 언급되지 않았거나 부차적인 요소입니다. 따라서 정답은 (A)입니다.

어휘 정리:

• eco-friendly: 친환경적인
• residential community: 주거 단지
• sustainability: 지속 가능성
• rainwater harvesting: 빗물 수집
• smart-home technologies: 스마트 홈 기술
• carbon-neutral design: 탄소 중립 설계

---

148. According to the article, when will the first residents be able to move in?

정답: (B) March of next year

해석:
첫 번째 입주자들은 내년 3월에 입주할 수 있다.

해설:
지문 중간에 “the first 50 units available for occupancy by March of next year”라는 구문이 정확한 단서를 제공합니다. 이 표현은 입주 가능 시기를 명시하며, 다른 보기는 혼동을 유도하지만 날짜 정보가 일치하지 않거나 잘못된 해석으로 이끌 수 있습니다. (A), (C), (D)는 모두 지문과 불일치합니다.

어휘 정리:

• occupancy: 입주, 거주
• available: 이용 가능한
• phase: 단계

---

149. What feature is NOT mentioned as part of the homes in Harmony Hills?

정답: (B) Composting toilets

해석:
Harmony Hills 주택의 특징으로 언급되지 않은 것은 퇴비화 화장실이다.

해설:
본문에서는 solar-paneled roofs, rainwater harvesting systems, smart-home technologies 등이 명확히 언급됩니다. 하지만 composting toilets(퇴비화 화장실)는 전혀 언급되지 않았습니다. 이것은 ETS 스타일의 “NOT mentioned” 문제로, 실제 언급된 항목과 언급되지 않은 것을 구별하는 능력을 평가합니다. 오답들은 지문에서 정확히 나오는 내용들입니다.

어휘 정리:

• composting toilets: 퇴비화 화장실
• mentioned: 언급된
• harvesting system: 수확/수집 시스템

---

150. What has GreenUrban Developments recently been recognized for?

정답: (C) Designing carbon-neutral buildings

해석:
GreenUrban Developments는 최근 탄소 중립 건물 설계로 인정받았다.

해설:
마지막 문장에서 “was recently recognized by the National Green Building Council for its efforts in carbon-neutral design”라는 표현이 명확한 정답 단서입니다. 이 문장에서 “recognized”와 “for its efforts in carbon-neutral design”이 핵심입니다. 다른 선택지들은 지문에서 언급되지 않았거나, 초점을 잘못 맞춘 오답입니다. 예를 들어 (A)는 ‘affordable’이라는 단어가 ‘affordability’로 언급되긴 했으나 수상 이유가 아님을 명확히 해야 합니다.

어휘 정리:

• recognized for: ~로 인정받다
• carbon-neutral: 탄소 중립의
• efforts: 노력

📘 Part 7 – Set 2: E-mail Chain

Subject: Event Planning for Annual Company Retreat

151. What is the primary purpose of Caitlyn Dorsey’s first e-mail?

정답: (B) To ask for planning suggestions

해석:
Caitlyn Dorsey의 첫 번째 이메일은 행사 기획에 대한 제안을 요청하기 위한 것이다.

해설:
첫 번째 이메일에서 “Please send your suggestions for venues, guest speakers, or team activities by March 21”라는 문장이 명확한 목적을 보여줍니다. 이 문장을 통해 Caitlyn이 직원들에게 행사 장소나 활동에 대한 제안을 요청하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. (A), (C), (D)는 모두 지문에서 제시된 목적과 다릅니다. 실제로 날짜는 확정되지 않았고, 발표자도 지정되지 않았으며, 숙소에 대한 언급도 없습니다.

어휘 정리:

• retreat: 연례 워크숍, 수련회
• suggestions: 제안
• venue: 행사 장소

---

152. What does David Han suggest including in the retreat?

정답: (B) A mindfulness session

해석:
David Han은 리트릿에 마음 챙김 세션을 포함할 것을 제안했다.

해설:
David는 “Would it be possible to include a mental wellness session again this year?”라고 말하며 작년의 프로그램을 다시 요청합니다. 이는 명확한 제안이며, Caitlyn이 이에 긍정적으로 반응한 점도 보완 근거가 됩니다. ‘mindfulness’라는 표현은 ‘mental wellness’의 파라프레이징으로 ETS가 자주 사용하는 어휘 변화 방식입니다. (A), (C), (D)는 언급되지 않았습니다.

어휘 정리:

• mental wellness: 정신적 건강
• mindfulness: 마음 챙김
• facilitator: 진행자

---

153. What is true about the mental wellness session mentioned?

정답: (C) It may feature the same facilitator.

해석:
언급된 마음 챙김 세션은 같은 진행자가 다시 참여할 가능성이 있다.

해설:
Caitlyn이 “I’ll look into inviting the same facilitator from last year.”라고 답변한 부분이 핵심 단서입니다. 이는 동일 진행자를 다시 초대할 계획임을 의미합니다. 이 문장을 통해 정답이 (C)임을 알 수 있습니다. (A)는 사실과 반대이며, (B)는 날짜 오해 유도, (D)는 장소와 관련 없는 오답입니다.

어휘 정리:

• feature: 포함하다, 등장시키다
• facilitator: 진행자, 조율자
• session: 세션, 시간대

---

154. By when does Caitlyn request feedback from the team?

정답: (D) March 21

해석:
Caitlyn은 팀으로부터 3월 21일까지 피드백을 요청했다.

해설:
이메일 본문 중 “Please send your suggestions … by March 21”이라는 구문은 ‘마감 기한’을 명확히 전달하는 전형적인 표현입니다. 다른 날짜는 지문 어디에도 존재하지 않으며, 이 문제는 정보 확인 유형으로 빠르게 찾는 능력을 평가합니다. 오답은 날짜 정보 혼란을 유도하는 전형적인 distractor입니다.

어휘 정리:

• by March 21: 3월 21일까지
• feedback: 의견, 제안
• request: 요청하다
