TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (4/12/2026) – cameron young

정답: A. 아주

How to solve: The sentence means 'Cameron Young plays golf ______ well.' We need an adverb that modifies '잘합니다' (plays well). '아주' means 'very', fitting the context. '어제' (yesterday), '지금' (now), and '항상' (always) are time adverbs that don't fit naturally before '잘합니다' in this context of emphasizing skill level.

A — '아주' means 'very' or 'so', which is appropriate to emphasize how well Cameron Young plays golf. So, '아주 잘합니다' means 'plays very well'.

B — '어제' means 'yesterday'. It's a time adverb and doesn't fit the context of describing the degree of skill.

C — '지금' means 'now'. It's a time adverb and doesn't fit the context of describing the degree of skill.

D — '항상' means 'always'. While Cameron Young might always play well, '아주' is a more direct modifier for '잘합니다' to express degree of skill.

정답: A. 매우

How to solve: The sentence means 'Cameron Young is _______ famous golfer.' We need an adverb to emphasize the degree of 'famous'. '매우' means 'very' or 'extremely', which fits perfectly. '가끔' (sometimes), '나중에' (later), and '먼저' (first) are not suitable.

A — '매우' means 'very' or 'extremely', which is a suitable adverb to modify '유명한' (famous), meaning 'very famous'.

B — '가끔' means 'sometimes'. It's a frequency adverb and doesn't fit the context of describing the degree of fame.

C — '나중에' means 'later'. It's a time adverb and doesn't fit the context.

D — '먼저' means 'first'. It's an order adverb and doesn't fit the context.

정답: A. 사랑을

How to solve: The sentence means 'Cameron Young _______ by many people.' The blank is followed by '받습니다' (receives). We need a noun that combines with '받습니다' to make a logical phrase for a popular person. '사랑을 받다' means 'to receive love' or 'to be loved', which fits perfectly for a famous athlete. The other options '돈을' (money), '책을' (book), '시간을' (time) do not form a common or logical phrase with '받습니다' in this context.

A — '사랑을 받다' is a common expression meaning 'to receive love' or 'to be loved'. This is appropriate for a popular figure like Cameron Young.

B — '돈을 받다' means 'to receive money'. While possible in some contexts, it's not the primary or most natural fit for 'by many people' regarding general popularity.

C — '책을 받다' means 'to receive a book'. This is not relevant to being popular 'by many people'.

D — '시간을 받다' is not a common or natural phrase. One might 'spend time' or 'get time', but not 'receive time' in this way.

정답: A. 열심히

How to solve: The sentence means 'Cameron Young practices _______.' We need an adverb that describes how someone practices. '열심히' means 'hard' or 'diligently', which is very common and fitting for an athlete. '천천히' (slowly), '슬프게' (sadly), and '다르게' (differently) do not fit the typical description of practicing to improve.

A — '열심히' means 'hard' or 'diligently'. Practicing hard is essential for an athlete, making this the most suitable choice.

B — '천천히' means 'slowly'. While one might practice slowly at times, 'hard' is a more general and positive description of athletic practice.

C — '슬프게' means 'sadly'. This adverb is emotionally charged and not suitable for describing how one practices golf.

D — '다르게' means 'differently'. While one might practice differently, '열심히' describes the effort, which is a more fundamental characteristic for athletic practice.

정답: A. 큰

How to solve: The sentence means 'Cameron Young always has _______ goals.' We need an adjective to describe goals. '큰' means 'big' or 'grand', which is a natural way to describe ambitious goals for an athlete. '작은' (small) and '쉬운' (easy) are less fitting. While '높은' (high) is also possible for 'high goals', '큰 목표' (big/grand goals) is a very common and natural expression in Korean for ambitious aims, encompassing scope and importance.

A — '큰' means 'big' or 'grand'. '큰 목표' (big goals) is a very common and natural expression to describe ambitious or important goals for an athlete.

B — '작은' means 'small'. Athletes typically have big goals, not small ones.

C — '쉬운' means 'easy'. Goals for an athlete are usually challenging, not easy.

D — '높은' means 'high'. '높은 목표' (high goals) is also a valid expression, similar to '큰 목표'. However, '큰 목표' often implies overall ambition or scale, making it a very strong and general fit for this context.
