TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (5/28/2026) – toronto tempo vs sky

정답: C. 도시

How to solve: The question asks what Toronto is. Toronto is a well-known city. Among the choices, '도시' (city) is the most appropriate word to describe Toronto.

A — '바다' means sea. Toronto is not a sea.

B — '산' means mountain. Toronto is not a mountain.

C — '도시' means city. This correctly describes Toronto.

D — '강' means river. While Toronto has lakes nearby, it is primarily known as a city, not just a river.

정답: A. 매우

How to solve: The sentence describes the speed of modern life. '빠릅니다' means 'is fast'. We need an adverb to intensify 'fast'. '매우' (very) is the correct choice to indicate a high degree of speed, fitting the 'tempo' aspect.

A — '매우' means very. It correctly intensifies the adjective '빠르다' (fast).

B — '아마' means maybe/perhaps. It indicates uncertainty, which doesn't fit the context.

C — '항상' means always. While life might always be fast, '매우' is a more direct intensifier for '빠릅니다'.

D — '갑자기' means suddenly. It refers to an unexpected change, which doesn't fit the general description of modern life's speed.

정답: A. 구름

How to solve: The sentence describes something white floating in the sky. Among the given choices, '구름' (clouds) are white and float in the sky, directly relating to the 'sky' theme.

A — '구름' means cloud. Clouds are typically white and float in the sky.

B — '바람' means wind. Wind is invisible and doesn't 'float white'.

C — '별' means star. Stars are in the sky but are usually seen at night and don't 'float white' in this sense.

D — '비' means rain. Rain falls from the sky, but it is water, not something that 'floats white'.

정답: C. 하늘

How to solve: The sentence describes something that is blue and beautiful on a clear day. '하늘' (sky) is typically blue and beautiful on a clear day, directly addressing the 'sky' concept.

A — '땅' means ground. The ground is usually not blue.

B — '바다' means sea. While the sea can be blue, the sentence refers to what is blue on a '맑은 날' (clear day) in a general sense, and '하늘' is a more direct fit for '파랗고 아름답습니다' in this context.

C — '하늘' means sky. The sky is famously blue and beautiful on clear days.

D — '공기' means air. Air is invisible and not described as 'blue and beautiful' in this manner.

정답: A. 많으면

How to solve: The sentence states that one can take a leisurely walk. To take a leisurely walk, one needs ample time. Therefore, '시간이 많으면' (if there is much time) is the correct expression, relating to the 'tempo' or pace of life.

A — '많으면' means if there is much/many. '시간이 많으면' (if there is a lot of time) makes sense for taking a leisurely walk.

B — '적으면' means if there is little/few. '시간이 적으면' (if there is little time) would prevent a leisurely walk.

C — '크면' means if it is big. It does not apply to time in this context.

D — '작으면' means if it is small. It does not apply to time in this context for expressing 'leisurely'.
