[문항 3] 출제 의도 (Purpose of Test) 문제 1-1 This questions aims to test the student's ability to read and summarize information about a topic in the social sciences, namely, the "prosperity paradox". This paradox describes the case of a nation with strong economic fundamentals (such as GDP per capita) that fails to be accompanied by quality of life for its citizens. The text uses the example of the United States, which ranks top in terms of GDP per capita, yet at the bottom in terms of life expectancy and trust in the government among OECD member states, with life satisfaction in the middle. Explanations given include both economic and social reasons (such as income gains realized mainly for the top 10% of the income distribution and increasing social and political polarization), but also an evolutionary reason: the human brain has developed to thrive in conditions of scarcity, not abundance, which may lead to over-consumption and resulting sickness in wealthy societies. The question also aims to test the student's understanding of the concept of a good life - what is needed to live a happy and fulfilled life? It also invites reflections over the responsibility of governments towards its citizens - should governments prioritize economic growth or citizens' happiness? Lastly, it also relates to questions of sustainability and justice. 문제 1-2 This question aims to test the student's ability to link the contents of the text to either own experiences or examples. It is inte

【Question 1】Please read the two passages below and answer each question.
[A] Government policy in many advanced economies prioritizes economic growth. A recent study from
the United States compared OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) member
states on both economic and social indicators. The United States ranked near the top for GDP per
capita, but near the bottom for life expectancy and trust in the government, with a middle ranking for
overall life satisfaction. Researchers call this a “prosperity paradox” where the economy is strong,
yet people's well-being is low.
[B] The study mentioned several reasons for this paradox. Joseph Romm of the University of
Pennsylvania said that “the strong economic performance has principally provided gains for the
wealthiest 10 percent (of the population)”. Douglas Harris, an economist at Tulane University, added
that “if there is one overall theme, it's that we're pulling apart - economically, socially, and
politically.”Yet others argue that wealth itself is part of the problem. Anna Lembke, a psychiatrist at
Stanford University, said that “our brains evolved for a world of scarcity, and the kind of abundance
we are experiencing now is a mismatch for them. In this world in which everything has become more
potent,* more accessible, more novel and more bountiful,** we're prone to overconsume and make
ourselves sick.”

[문항 5] 문항 해설 (Guideline) - 문제 1-1 The passage discusses the “prosperity paradox”, a situation in which a country enjoys strong economic performance but low overall well-being among its citizens. The United States serves as an example: it ranks highly in GDP per capita but poorly in life expectancy and trust in government, with only average life satisfaction. The text explores several reasons for this paradox. Economic gains have largely benefited the wealthiest 10 percent of the population, contributing to growing inequality and social–political division. Additionally, the passage suggests that modern abundance itself may be harmful: human brains evolved for scarcity, so when resources and pleasures are overly abundant, people tend to overconsume, leading to unhappiness and illness. A complete answer should include these points, showing that economic growth alone does not guarantee social well-being, and briefly describe the key reasons given in the text (inequality, polarization, and evolutionary mismatch). 문제 1-2 This question asks students to reflect on what governments in advanced economies should prioritize — economic growth or citizens’ happiness and life satisfaction. It builds on the themes introduced in the reading passage, particularly the “prosperity paradox,” where economic success does not necessarily lead to well-being. A strong response should clearly state the student’s position and support it with logical reasoning, examples, or ev

[문항 6] 채점 기준 (Evaluation) Sub-Question Assessment Criteria Breakdown - The student provides a clear and accurate summary of the passage, correctly identifying the “prosperity paradox” and explaining how economic strength (e.g., GDP per capita) may coexist with low life expectancy, low trust in government, and only moderate life satisfaction. The response includes both reasons for this paradox 상 discussed in the article (income inequality accompanied by social and political division, and evolutionary mismatch between human nature and abundance). The answer is well-organized, coherent, and uses 1-1 appropriate vocabulary. - The student shows a general understanding of the passage and correctly mentions the idea that economic success does not always lead to happiness or quality of life. However, the explanation may be 중 partial or underdeveloped, with only one reason mentioned or summarized inaccurately. Some details or key terms may be missing, but the main idea is still understandable. - The student fails to understand the passage. 하 - The student presents a clear and well-reasoned opinion on whether governments should prioritize economic growth or citizens’ happiness. The argument is logical, supported by specific reasons or examples, 상 and shows awareness of the trade-offs involved (e.g., sustainability, inequality, social well-being). The answe

[문항 7] 예시 답안 (Answer Keys) 1-1 - The student correctly summarizes the "prosperity paradox": a strong economic performance and life satisfaction/well-being/other measures of quality of life (such as life expectancy) and trust in the government can be unrelated, such as in the case of the United States. - Reasons named in the text: growing inequality (gains in GDP per capita were driven by gains for the wealthiest 10% of the population), accompanied by social and political polarization; abundance/wealth itself since human brains evolved for scarcity, and we tend to overconsume in environments where everything is abundant, resulting in sickness 1-2 The student names either growth or happiness as a policy goal that should be pursued in advanced economies. Possible reasons to name economic growth (among others): - economic growth is needed to afford a good life (up to a certain point) - economic growth can be accompanied by income gains for all groups and can be sustainable/green - polarization can be mitigated by government regulation and laws/taxes, such as inheritance or wealth taxes or regulations (such as management compensation caps) - innovation and technological advancement: economic growth fuels investment in research, development, and innovation, which can improve healthcare, education, and infrastructure. - global influence and stability: a strong economy enhances a nation's geopolitical influence and ability to respond to global crises, including pandemics, wars, an

[문항 1] 출제입실 점검 고교교사 의견(A교사/영어과) <문제 1> 제시문 [A]는‘경제 성장과 국민들의 삶에 대한 만족도 불일치’에 대한 내용이며 미국을 예시로 들어, 미국의 GDP per capita는 세계 최고에 달하지만 국민들의 삶에 대한 만족도는 그에 훨씬 미치지 못한다는 내용을 “prosperity paradox”라는 표현을 사용하여 기술하고 있다. 제시문 [B]는 제시문 [A]에서 언급한 “prosperity paradox”가 발생하는 이유에 대해 설명하고 있다. 제시된“성장 역설”의 이유로 전체 인구의 부유한 상위 10퍼센트가 경제 성과의 과실을 대부분 가져가기 때문이며(나머지 90퍼센트는 불만족함을 추론할 수 있다) 사회가 다방면에서 점점 분열 되고 있으며 아울러 우리의 뇌는 결핍의 사회에 맞춰 진화해 왔으므로 풍요로움의 시대에 우리의 뇌는 병(불만족)들 수 밖에 없다는 견해를 인용하고 있다. ‘경제적 성장’과 ‘삶에 대한 만족’이라는 주제는 수업 시간과 교육 활동 시간에 자주 다루어지는 주제로 학생들에게 친숙하여 안면 타당도의 측면에서 적합해 보이며 교육적 가치의 측면에 있어서도 적절할 것으로 판단된다. 어휘와 문법 및 발문의 요구사항 또한 영어Ⅱ교과 성취기준에서 근거를 찾을 수 있다. 두

[문항 3] 선행학습 영향평가 위원회 고교교사 의견(C교사/도덕과) <문제 1-1> 이 문항과 관련하여 제시문 [A]는 ‘경제 성장과 국민들의 삶에 대한 만족도 불일치’에 대해 미국의 사례로 서술하고 있고, 제시문 [B]는 제시문 [A]에서 언급한 “번영의 역설(prosperity paradox)”이 발생하는 이유에 대해 설명하고 있다. 지문에서는 이 역설의 여러 원인을 탐구하는데, 경제적 성과가 대체로 상위 10%에게 집중되면서 소득 불평등과 사회·정치적 분열이 심화되었고, 현대의 풍요 자체가 해로울 수 있음을 지적하고 있다. 인간의 뇌는 결핍 환경에 맞게 진화했기 때문에, 자원과 즐거움이 지나치게 풍요로워지면 과소비 경향이 나타나고, 그로 인해 불행과 질병이 발생할 수 있음을 제시하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 이 문항은 경제 성장만으로는 사회적 복지가 보장되지 않는다는 점과 지문에서 언급된 주요 원인(불평등, 양극화, 진화적 불일치)을 지문에 근거하여 비판적 논리적 사고 능력을 활용하여 서술할 수 있는지를 평가하는 것으로 판단된다. 경제 성장에 따라 발생할 수 있는 ‘번영의 역설’이라는 문제를 사회 정의 실현의 관점에서 지문에 근거하여 주요 원인을 제시하는 것은, 고등학교 ‘생활과 윤리’ 교과의 ‘사회와 정의’ 단원을 배운 학생 수준에서 충분히 가능한 것으로 보인다. ■ 상위 수준의 학생들은 한 국가의 경제적 성공과 국민의 삶의 만족도 사이에 괴리가 발생하는 이유에 대해, 번영의 역설(prosperity paradox) 개념을 활용하여 지문에서 언급된 주요 원인(불평등, 양극화, 진화적 불일치) 중 2가지 이상을 활용하여 논리적으로 일관성 있게 구체적으로 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. ■ 중위 수준의 학생들은 한 국가의 경제적 성공과 국민의 삶의 만족도 사이에 괴리가 발생하는 이유에 대해, 번영의 역설(prosperity paradox) 개념을 활용하여 지문에서 언급된 주요 원인(불평등, 양극화, 진화적 불일치) 중 1가지를 활용하여 논리적으로 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. ■ 하위 수준의 학생들은 한 국가의 경제적 성공과 국민의 삶의 만족도 사이에 괴리가 발생하는 이유에 대해, 지문에 제시된 번영의 역설(prosperity paradox) 개념을 제대로 활용하지 못하고 지문에 근거하지 않고 일반론적으로 서술할 것으로 판단된다. <문제 1-2> 이 문항은 OECD 국가의 정책 목표로서 ‘경제 성장’과 ‘시민들의 삶의 만족도’ 중 무엇을 더 중요한 사회적·윤리적 가치로 판단하고 있는지에 대해 학생의 논리적 추론 능력 바탕으로 사례를 들어 정당화 할 수 있는지를 검증하는 문항으로 판단된다. 경제 성장에 따라 발생할 수 있는 ‘번영의 역설’이라는 문제와 관련하여 ‘경제 성장’과 ‘시민들의 삶의 만족도’ 중 무엇을 더 중요한 사회적·윤리적 가치로 판단하는지를 논리적 근거와 사례에 기반해서 제시하는 것은, 고등학교 ‘생활과 윤리’ 교과의 ‘사회와 정의’ 단원을 배운 학생 수준에서 충분히 가능한 것으로 보인다. ■ 상위 수준의 학생들은 한
