TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (5/4/2026) – stock market news today

정답: A. 주식 가격

How to solve: This question asks for the appropriate word to fill in the blank related to 'news of something rising a lot'. Among the choices, '주식 가격 (stock price)' fits the context of '오늘 뉴스에서 … 많이 올랐다' as stock prices are frequently reported in news for their fluctuations.

A — Correct. '주식 가격이 오르다' is a common phrase in stock market news.

B — Incorrect. While weather temperature can rise, it's not the primary context for general 'news' without further specification, and '많이 올랐다는 소식' can refer to many things. But '주식 가격' is the most direct and related to 'stock market news today'.

C — Incorrect. Exam scores can rise, but it's less likely to be reported as general news in this context.

D — Incorrect. Shoe size does not typically 'rise' in this manner in news.

정답: A. 투자, 수익

How to solve: The stem implies a cause-and-effect relationship where a positive action leads to a positive outcome. '현명한' (wise) suggests a decision-making process, and '얻었습니다' (gained) points to a beneficial result. '투자' (investment) and '수익' (profit) are the best fit for this economic context.

A — Correct. '현명한 투자' (wise investment) leads to '좋은 수익' (good profit). This pair fits perfectly.

B — Incorrect. '현명한 운동' (wise exercise) leads to '좋은 건강' (good health). While plausible, it doesn't fit the 'stock market news' theme as directly as investment and profit.

C — Incorrect. '현명한 공부' (wise study) leads to '좋은 지식' (good knowledge). Also plausible, but not related to stock markets.

D — Incorrect. '현명한 식사' (wise meal) might lead to '좋은 배' (good stomach/belly), but the phrasing is less natural and not related to the theme.

정답: A. 경제 전망

How to solve: The key words are '전문가들' (experts), '내년' (next year), '밝을 것으로 예상했습니다' (predicted to be bright). This points to an analysis or forecast of future conditions, specifically in the context of economy, which fits '경제 전망'.

A — Correct. '경제 전망이 밝다' (economic outlook is bright) is a common expression used by experts.

B — Incorrect. While '날씨 예보' (weather forecast) is also a prediction, '밝다' doesn't typically describe a weather forecast in this general sense, and it's not the primary economic context.

C — Incorrect. A meal menu is not something experts predict to be 'bright'.

D — Incorrect. Travel plans are made, not predicted by experts to be 'bright' in this manner.

정답: A. 실적, 상승

How to solve: The sentence describes a cause-and-effect: '기업의 좋은 ______ 소식' (news of the company's good ______) led to '주가가 크게 ______했습니다' (stock prices greatly ______). '실적' (performance) fits '좋은 소식' and '상승' (rise/increase) naturally follows for stock prices reacting positively.

A — Correct. Good '실적' (performance) is a positive '소식' (news) that causes '주가' (stock price) to '상승' (rise).

B — Incorrect. While '신상품' (new product) could be good news, '감소' (decrease) for stock price would imply a negative reaction, contradicting '좋은 소식'.

C — Incorrect. '휴가' (vacation) is not typically '좋은 소식' that impacts stock prices in this way, and '고정' (fixed) doesn't describe a market reaction.

D — Incorrect. '날씨' (weather) is irrelevant to '기업의 좋은 소식' impacting '주가' (stock price). '악화' (worsened) is also negative.

정답: A. 시장 정보

How to solve: The sentence refers to a channel through which '최신 경제 소식' (latest economic news) can be accessed. '시장 정보' (market information) is the most appropriate term for this context.

A — Correct. '시장 정보' (market information) is the direct source for '최신 경제 소식' (latest economic news).

B — Incorrect. While school classes can provide economic knowledge, they are not typically the means to get 'latest economic news' in real-time.

C — Incorrect. A friend's story might include some news, but it's not a reliable or direct source for 'latest economic news' in general.

D — Incorrect. Personal experience is not a channel for receiving news; it's something one undergoes.
