TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (9/5/2026) – maxpreps

정답: B. 경기

How to solve: This question asks when a soccer event starts. Among the choices, '경기' (game/match) is the most appropriate word to fit into the context of '축구' (soccer).

A — 숙제 (homework): This word is not related to soccer starting time.

B — 경기 (game/match): Correct. Soccer is played as a game or match, so asking when the '경기' starts is natural.

C — 식사 (meal): This word is not related to soccer.

D — 공부 (study): This word is not related to soccer.

정답: B. 선수

How to solve: The sentence talks about someone from 'our school' being 'very famous' (아주 유명해요). When related to sports, '선수' (player/athlete) is the most fitting choice for someone famous in a school's competitive context.

A — 학생 (student): While an athlete is a student, '선수' is more specific and fits 'famous' in a competitive or athletic context.

B — 선수 (player/athlete): Correct. A player can be very famous, especially at a school level for their athletic achievements.

C — 선생님 (teacher): Teachers can be famous, but '선수' is more directly linked to sports/competition, aligning with the implied context of maxpreps.

D — 의사 (doctor): This word is not typically associated with school fame in this context.

정답: A. 이겼어요

How to solve: The sentence describes what happened to 'our team' in 'the match yesterday' (어제 우리 팀이 시합에서). We need a verb that describes an outcome of a match. '이겼어요' means 'won', which is a common and positive outcome.

A — 이겼어요 (won): Correct. This is a common and appropriate outcome for a sports team in a match.

B — 졌어요 (lost): While possible, this refers to losing. The question usually seeks a typical or positive outcome if both are given without further context.

C — 먹었어요 (ate): This verb is not related to the outcome of a sports match.

D — 갔어요 (went): This verb is not related to the outcome of a sports match.

정답: B. 정보

How to solve: The sentence states that you 'can find a lot of ______ on this website' (이 웹사이트에서 많이 찾을 수 있어요) related to '운동' (sports/exercise). '정보' (information) is the most suitable word for what you typically find on a website.

A — 시간 (time): While a website might show times, '정보' is a more general and fitting term for what a website provides comprehensively.

B — 정보 (information): Correct. Websites, especially sports websites like MaxPreps, provide various kinds of information.

C — 친구 (friend): You don't usually 'find friends' on a website in this context.

D — 가게 (store): This word means 'store' and is not related to what a sports information website provides.

정답: B. 연습

How to solve: The sentence advises to do something 'diligently' (열심히 해야 해요) 'before a match' (시합 전에). '연습' (practice) is what athletes do diligently before a match to improve their performance.

A — 낮잠 (nap): Napping is a form of rest, not something done diligently in preparation for a match.

B — 연습 (practice): Correct. Athletes diligently practice to prepare and perform well in a match.

C — 운동 (exercise/workout): While practice involves exercise, '연습' is more specific to preparing for a competition. '운동' is a broader term for physical activity.

D — 휴식 (rest): Rest is important, but it's not typically described as something you 'do diligently' in the same way as practice when preparing for a match.
