오늘의 한마디
2022학년도 수능 영어 32번, 해설 (문제 풀이)
News, especially in its televised form, is constituted not only by its choice of topics and stories but by its ____________________. Presentational styles have been subject to a tension between an informational-educational purpose and the need to engage us entertainingly. While current affairs programmes are often ‘serious’ in tone sticking to the ‘rules’ of balance, more popular programmes adopt a friendly, lighter, idiom in which we are invited to consider the impact of particular news items from the perspective of the ‘average person in the street’. Indeed, contemporary news construction has come to rely on an increased use of faster editing tempos and ‘flashier’ presentational styles including the use of logos, sound-bites, rapid visual cuts and the ‘star quality’ of news readers. Popular formats can be said to enhance understanding by engaging an audience unwilling to endure the longer verbal orientation of older news formats. However, they arguably work to reduce understanding by failing to provide the structural contexts for news events.

아이디어만 살려서 순식간에 홱 읽어보면,
뉴스는 토픽과 이야기, 그리고 프리젠테이션 스타일로 구성되어 있다. 프리젠테이션 스타일은 정보-교육적 목적과 즐거움 사이를 잘 조절해서 선택된다.
~ ~
인기있는 형태는 이해를 돕는다고 알려져 있지만, 실제는 그렇지 않다.
뉴스가 어떻게 만들어지는지 말을 꺼낸 후 프리젠테이션 스타일에 대해 말하고 있습니다. 그리고 verbal and visual idioms or modes of address를 짧게 줄이면 프리젠테이션 스타일입니다. verbal and visual idioms = modes of address = presentational styles. 답 (1) ~ (5)를 보면, 프리젠테이션 스타일과 가장 관련이 있는 것은 (5)입니다. (1) ~ (4)는 글의 흐름상 꽤 거리가 먼 내용입니다.
읽은 문장이 ‘무슨 말’인지 꼭 생각해보고 나서 다음 문장을 읽어야 합니다. 2번째 문장에 presentational styles이라는 말이 갑자기 튀어나오지는 않겠죠? 즉, 앞 문장에 이 표현에 대한 힌트가 있어야 합니다. 그래야 말이 부드럽게 흘러가겠죠?
이게 무슨 말이야? 이건 무슨 말이야? 이러면서 읽으세요. 그럼, 답이 보입니다. 글은 부드럽게 흘러가야 하기 때문에, 읽고 있는 문장이 말이 되어야 합니다.
참고로, 영국영어입니다.
