TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (10/11/2026) – ashton jeanty

정답: A. 집

How to solve: The sentence '저는 매일 아침 ___에서 신문을 읽어요.' means 'I read the newspaper every morning at ___.' Among the choices, '집' (home) is the most natural place to read a newspaper every morning. '병원' (hospital), '은행' (bank), and '시장' (market) are less likely daily locations for this activity.

A — 집 (jip) means 'home' or 'house.' Reading a newspaper at home every morning is a very common and natural activity. This fits the context perfectly.

B — 병원 (byeongwon) means 'hospital.' While one might read a newspaper at a hospital, it's not a daily routine for most people.

C — 은행 (eunhaeng) means 'bank.' People go to the bank for financial transactions, not typically to read newspapers daily.

D — 시장 (sijang) means 'market.' People go to the market for shopping, not to read newspapers as a daily morning routine.

정답: A. 먹다

How to solve: The first part of the sentence, '배가 고파요,' means 'I am hungry.' When you are hungry, you want to 'eat' (먹다) food. Therefore, '먹다' is the most appropriate verb to complete the sentence '밥을 ___ 싶어요' (I want to ___ rice).

A — 먹다 (meokda) means 'to eat.' This is the correct action when one is hungry and wants to consume rice.

B — 자다 (jada) means 'to sleep.' This is unrelated to being hungry.

C — 읽다 (ikda) means 'to read.' This is unrelated to being hungry or consuming food.

D — 가다 (gada) means 'to go.' This is unrelated to being hungry or consuming food.

정답: B. 좋다

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'Today's weather is really ___, so I feel good.' When someone 'feels good' (기분이 좋아요), it typically means the weather is 'good' (좋다). The other options describe negative weather or feelings.

A — 덥다 (deopda) means 'to be hot.' While hot weather can be enjoyable for some, '기분이 좋아요' (I feel good) generally aligns better with '좋다' (good) in a general sense, and '덥다' often implies discomfort for many.

B — 좋다 (jota) means 'to be good.' If the weather is good, it naturally leads to feeling good. This is the most suitable choice.

C — 나쁘다 (nappeuda) means 'to be bad.' If the weather is bad, one would typically not 'feel good.'

D — 슬프다 (seulpeuda) means 'to be sad.' This describes a feeling, not a state of weather, and is contradictory to '기분이 좋아요.'

정답: A. 항상

How to solve: The sentence '저는 아침에 ___ 커피를 마셔요.' means 'I drink coffee ___ in the morning.' We need an adverb that describes frequency. '항상' means always, '가끔' means sometimes, '절대' means never, and '너무' means too much/very. Without further context, '항상' (always) is a common and grammatically correct option for a general statement about a routine.

A — 항상 (hangsang) means 'always.' This is a common adverb of frequency and fits the sentence structure, implying a daily routine.

B — 가끔 (gakkeum) means 'sometimes.' While possible, '항상' is a more definite and common choice for a simple sentence like this unless 'sometimes' is specifically implied.

C — 절대 (jeoldae) means 'never.' This usually requires a negative verb ending, e.g., '마시지 않아요' (do not drink). Since the verb is positive ('마셔요'), '절대' is incorrect here.

D — 너무 (neomu) means 'too much' or 'very.' This is an intensifier and does not describe frequency. It would modify the amount or intensity, not how often.

정답: C. 안경

How to solve: The sentence '책을 읽으려면 ___이/가 필요해요.' means 'If you want to read a book, you need a ___.' Among the given choices, '안경' (glasses) is directly related to the act of reading, especially if one has vision problems. The other items are for writing/drawing or telling time.

A — 연필 (yeonpil) means 'pencil.' Pencils are used for writing or drawing, not directly for reading a book itself.

B — 지우개 (jiugae) means 'eraser.' Erasers are used to correct writing mistakes, not directly for reading a book.

C — 안경 (angyeong) means 'glasses.' Many people need glasses to read clearly, making this a direct necessity for reading for some.

D — 시계 (sigye) means 'clock' or 'watch.' A clock tells time and is not directly needed to read a book, although one might check the time while reading.
