Soru 7 :

The major sciences of the Hellenistic Age were

astronomy, mathematics, geography, medicine, and

physics. The most renowned of the early Hellenistic

astronomers was Aristarchus of Samos (310-230

B.C.), sometimes called the “Hellenistic Copernicus.”

His primary accomplishment was his deduction that

the Earth and the other planets revolve around the

Sun. This view was not accepted by his successors

because it conflicted with the teachings of Aristotle

and also with the Greek conviction that humanity, and

therefore the Earth, must be at the centre of the

universe. Later, in the second century A.D.,

Aristarchus’s fame was overshadowed by that of

Ptolemy of Alexandria. Although Ptolemy made few

original discoveries, he systematized the works of

others. His principal writing, The Almagest, based on

the view that all heavenly bodies revolve around the

Earth, was handed down to medieval Europe as the

classic summary of ancient astronomy.

 

 It is pointed out in the passage that the Greeks

----.

A) regarded the Earth as the centre of the universe

B) were extremely influenced by Aristarchus’s ideas

C) were not fully familiar with the teachings of

Aristotle

D) completely ruled out whatever Ptolemy said

about the universe

E) knew how the planets revolved around the Sun

Soru 45 : Like children, young elephants need discipline if they are to grow up as responsible members of society. Wildlife biologists say that orphan bull elephants in a game reserve in South Africa have turned delinquent because they have never been taken in hand by their elders. Those elephants have become a serious problem. Earlier this month, a young bull charged at a group of tourists on photo-safari. The next day, the same elephant attacked and killed a Professional hunter who had been sent in to shoot it. Two years ago, another tourist was chased out of his battered car and trampled to death in the reserve. Humans are not the only victims either; in the past three years, a great number of rhinoceroses have been gored to death by elephants. Scientists can explain the elephants’ abnormal and unacceptable behaviour. They believe the stress these animals have been subjected to, along with the fact that they have never been under any discipline and nurturing of a matriarchal cow, which is a central feature of normal elephant family life, accounts for their behaviour. Elephants are among those animals whose patterns of behaviour are acquired largely by experience. There is a long period of parental care and supervision while they grow and learn how to find food and defend themselves. Those elephants, apparently, suffer from the lack of someone to set them a good example.
