TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (8/16/2026) – falmouth road race

정답: A. 경주

How to solve: The sentence describes 'Falmouth Road ____' as a famous running competition held every summer. We need a word that fits the context of 'running competition'. '경주' (race) is the most suitable word.

A — '경주' means race or competition. It perfectly fits the context of a 'running competition'.

B — '음식' means food. It does not fit the context.

C — '음악' means music. It does not fit the context.

D — '영화' means movie. It does not fit the context.

정답: C. 참가하고

How to solve: The sentence states that many people do something 'in this competition' and 'take care of their health'. The action should be related to participating in a competition. '참가하고' (participate) is the correct choice.

A — '먹고' means eating. It does not fit the context of a competition.

B — '마시고' means drinking. It does not fit the main action of a competition.

C — '참가하고' means participating. This is the correct action for being in a competition.

D — '자고' means sleeping. It does not fit the context.

정답: D. 거리

How to solve: The sentence mentions 'about 11.2km' and 'runs'. This number combined with 'km' indicates a measurement of length or distance. '거리' (distance) is the appropriate word.

A — '시간' means time. It does not fit with 'km'.

B — '날씨' means weather. It does not fit with 'km'.

C — '장소' means place. While a race has a place, '11.2km' specifically refers to distance.

D — '거리' means distance. This is the correct word to describe 11.2km.

정답: B. 완주하고

How to solve: The sentence begins with '완주한 선수들은 (athletes who completed the race)'. The blank should describe the action that leads to 'feeling a great sense of accomplishment' for these athletes. '완주하고' (completing the race) directly relates to '완주한 선수들' and the feeling of achievement.

A — '구경하고' means watching. Spectators watch, not athletes who complete the race.

B — '완주하고' means completing the race. This aligns with '완주한 선수들' and feeling accomplishment.

C — '준비하고' means preparing. Preparation comes before the race, not after, when feeling accomplishment.

D — '응원하고' means cheering. This is what supporters do, not necessarily the athletes themselves for their own accomplishment.

정답: B. 여름에

How to solve: The first question's stem mentioned that the Falmouth Road Race is '매년 여름에 열리는' (held every summer). Therefore, to 'enjoy' this race, it would be 'in summer'.

A — '겨울에' means in winter. This contradicts the information that the race is held in summer.

B — '여름에' means in summer. This is consistent with the general knowledge about the race and context from previous questions.

C — '밤에' means at night. Road races are typically held during the day.

D — '아침에' means in the morning. While races often start in the morning, '여름에' refers to the season, which is more encompassing for 'enjoying' the overall experience.
