Soru 2 : Humans, as do all living organisms, depend on the natural world for vital nutrients, water, and shelter. Yet, humans have a greater capacity to alter their environment than other organisms. Humans have modified their environments since they first began clearing land for agriculture. When populations were small and dispersed, the effect on the environment was limited and local. A larger population and an expanded agricultural and industrial capacity have increased human use of natural resources. The challenge is to meet the human needs of a growing population in ways that minimize costs to natural resources and living things. While advances in science and technology have permitted a deeper understanding of natural processes, uncertainties remain. Decision makers must often weigh the claims of competing interests and values, working with, at best, imperfect knowledge.
The passage gives us the impression that the natural world ----.
A) can be changed very quickly despite difficult decisions
B) was interfered with more when there were fewer cities further apart from each other
C) will change dramatically if the price of natural resources continues to increase
D) is not really changed by humans, but by other living things like plants and animals
E) is depended on more now that the human birth rate is larger and industry has grown
E

Soru 27 : In 1993, Frances Rauscher and her team published a scientific paper that changed the world. She had taken a number of students and randomly divided them into three groups. One group listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, the second group heard a standard relaxation tape, and the third sat in silence. Everyone then completed a standard test of spatial intelligence. Those who had listened to Mozart scored far higher than those in the other two groups. Journalists reported the findings, with some exaggerating the results, declaring just a few minutes of Mozart led to a substantial, long-term increase in intelligence. The idea spread, some reporting that even babies became brighter after listening to Mozart. But when other scientists tried to replicate Rauscher's results, they concluded that the effect, if it existed, was much smaller than was first thought. For instance, Glenn Schellenberg had children learn keyboard skills, have voice training, take drama classes or, as a control, do nothing. Clear IQ improvements were observed in children who were taught keyboard skills or given voice lessons, whereas those given drama lessons were no different from the control group. It seems that the focused attention and memorization required in certain tasks, not just listening to Mozart, helps children's self-discipline and thinking.
It can be understood from the passage that in 1993 Frances Rauscher and her team —.
A) changed the world of music with a scientific paper, the findings of which are still accepted by most academics
B) used Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major in their experiment to prove Mozart was a unique composer
C) managed to produce a standard relaxation tape for the use of the general public to increase their spatial intelligence
D) worked with journalists who were interested in promoting Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major
E) published a paper that stimulated an unprecedented interest in the use of music for intelligence enhancement

Soru 28 : Most of the power generated by mankind has its origins in the sun. It was sunlight that nurtured the early life that became today's oil, gas and coal. It is the solar heating of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans that fuels wave power, wind farms and hydroelectric schemes. But using the sun's energy directly to generate power is rare. Solar cells account for less than 1% of the world's electricity production. Recent technological improvements, however, may boost this figure. The root of the problem is that most commercial solar cells are made from silicon, and silicon is expensive. Cells can be made from other cheaper materials, but these are not as efficient as those made from silicon.
58 .One reason for the electricity production of the world from solar cells to be less than one percent is that ...............
A) it is almost impossible to obtain raw silicon
B) the electricity produced from solar cells isn’t as quality as that from coal and gas
C) silicon is not reasonably priced
D) there are not enough facilities for such costly production
E) the number of hydroelectric schemes is insufficient

Soru 33 : Imagine an industry that runs out of raw materials. Companies go bankrupt, workers are laid off, families suffer and associated organizations are thrown into turmoil. Eventually, governments are forced to take drastic action. Welcome to global banking, recently brought to its knees by the interruption of its lifeblood – the flow of cash. In this case, we seem to have been fortunate. In the nick of time, governments released reserves in order to start cash circulating again. But what if the reserves had not been there? What are we going to do when our supplies of vital materials such as fish, tropical hardwoods, metals like indium and fresh water dry up? We live on a planet with finite resources – that is no surprise to anyone – so why do we have an economic system in which all that matters is growth – more growth means using more resources. When the human population was counted in millions and resources were sparse, people could simply move to new pastures.However, with 9 billion people expected around 2050, moving on is not an option. As politicians reconstruct the global economy, they should take heed. If we are to leave any kind of planet to our children, we need an economic system that lets us live within our means.
It is pointed out in the passage that in the past ----.
A) an economic system of growth was easy to establish

C) it was easy for people to find new resources
D) industry was far less dependent on raw materials

Soru 38 : The Starry Night is one of the best-known paintings by Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh painted The Starry Night while in the asylum at Saint Rémy de Provence, in June 1889. The painting portrays a swirling sky-scape filled with yellow glowing stars above a small town and rolling hills. There is a large dark formation left of center. Art historians have debated what the shape is, although most likely the top of a tree, but its purpose seems to be to direct the eye towards the sky. A church steeple in the town also points towards the sky. The painting is in permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The painting was the inspiration for Don McLean's song, Vincent, which is also known as Starry, Starry Night. Nominated as the most mysterious star in the Milky Way, V838 Monocerotis is said by Hubble Space Telescope astronomers to bear similarities to van Gogh’s The Starry Night.
