TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (11/9/2026) – quinshon judkins

정답: B. 선수

How to solve: The sentence states that Quinshon Judkins is '뛰어난 미식축구' (an excellent American football…). We need a word that describes his profession or role in American football. '선수' (player) is the most appropriate choice.

A — 학생 (student) does not fit the context of 'American football'.

B — 선수 (player/athlete) correctly describes someone who plays American football.

C — 감독 (coach) is incorrect as he is known for playing, not coaching.

D — 심판 (referee) is incorrect as he is a player, not an official.

정답: B. 활약

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Quinshon Judkins 'showed remarkable' ('눈부신 …을 보여주었다') in the team last season. We are looking for a word that describes a positive and noticeable performance or contribution in a sports context. '활약' (performance, activity, contribution) is the best fit.

A — 휴식 (rest) does not fit the context of 'showing remarkable' in a team's season.

B — 활약 (performance, activity, contribution) is suitable for describing a player's impressive contributions in games.

C — 연습 (practice) is something done to improve, not typically 'shown' in a remarkable way as a final output during a season.

D — 회의 (meeting) is completely unrelated to a player's on-field contribution.

정답: C. 기록

How to solve: The phrase '득점 ( )을 세우다' means 'to set a scoring…'. In sports, when someone achieves a new best or highest mark in scoring, they set a 'record'. Therefore, '기록' (record) is the correct word.

A — 감정 (emotion) does not fit with '득점' (scoring) or '세우다' (to set/establish).

B — 경험 (experience) is gained over time, not typically 'set' in terms of scoring.

C — 기록 (record) is the correct term used with '득점' (scoring) and '세우다' (to set/establish) to mean 'to set a scoring record'.

D — 목표 (goal) is something to aim for, not something to 'set' in the context of past 'scoring' achievements.

정답: C. 재능

How to solve: The sentence says that Quinshon Judkins had '남달랐다' (was exceptional/unusual) regarding American football from a young age. This implies a special natural ability. '재능' (talent) fits this context perfectly, indicating his innate skill for the sport.

A — 걱정 (worry) is a negative emotion and does not fit with being 'exceptional' in a sport.

B — 관심 (interest) is plausible, but '재능' (talent) better explains why he was 'exceptional' (남달랐다) from a young age.

C — 재능 (talent) correctly describes an exceptional natural ability for a sport.

D — 불만 (dissatisfaction) is a negative feeling and does not make sense in the context of developing a skill.

정답: D. 주목받

How to solve: The phrase '뛰어난 경기력 덕분에' (thanks to his excellent performance) indicates a positive consequence. We need a verb that describes a positive action from the media due to his good performance. '주목받았다' (received attention/was noticed) is the most suitable positive outcome from the media.

A — 방해받았다 (was disturbed/interrupted) is a negative outcome and does not fit the context of 'excellent performance'.

B — 거절받았다 (was rejected) is a negative outcome.

C — 비난받았다 (was criticized) is a negative outcome and contradicts 'excellent performance'.

D — 주목받았다 (received attention/was noticed) is a positive outcome, meaning the media recognized his excellent performance.
