Soru 7 :

The Copernican revolution began over 500 years ago with the realization that the Earth was not the centre

of the universe, but we still await its grand finale: the anticipated discovery of life elsewhere. Where else

might we find life? The vast scale of the universe makes it virtually certain that there are other Earthlike

settings. In our own solar system, Mars’s distance from the Sun makes it sufficiently Earth-like;

so, especially with increasing evidence for occasional liquid water, many are looking there for the first signs

of extraterrestrial life. Recently, however, a new contender has emerged, and surprisingly it is from

the cold outer solar system: it is Jupiter’s moon Europa. As one of the four satellites of Jupiter,

discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is now believed to have water in a liquid state, even though

it is so far from the Sun. Thus, the possibility of liquid water on Europa has opened the door to speculation

about life on this satellite of Jupiter.

 It is stated in the passage that currently Mars ----.

A) has been established as the only planet with a

vast amount of water under its surface

B) is being fully explored because, as a planet, it is

so close to the Earth

C) has been partially studied, and so it still

maintains its mystery as a planet

D) has been the main focus of the scientific search

for extraterrestrial life

E) and Europa provide a great deal of evidence for

a better understanding of the solar system

Cevap 7 : D

Bunu da şıkların içinde d şıkkı ““It is stated in the passage that currently Mars has been the main focus of the scientific search for extraterrestrial life” olarak mükemmel bir şekilde toparlamıştır.

Soru 8 :

Wildfires are an important environmental hazard in many geographical areas. Those areas most prone to wildfires have wet seasons followed by dry seasons. Vegetation that grows and accumulates during the wet season dries out enough during the dry season to burn easily. When lightning hits the ground, it

ignites the dry organic material, and a fire spreads through the area. Actually fires have several effects on the environment. First, burning frees the minerals that are locked in organic matter. The ashes remaining after a fire are rich in otassium, phosphorus, calcium, and other minerals essential for plant growth. Thus, vegetation flourishes following a fire. Second, fire removes plant cover and exposes the soil, which stimulates the germination of seeds requiring bare soil, and encourages the growth of shade-intolerant plants. Third, fire can cause increased soil erosion because it removes plant cover, leaving the soil more vulnerable to wind and water.

 

 

 

45.    As one learns from the passage, the reason why a wildfire is followed by vegetation growth is that ----

A)     the minerals in the soil, especially potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, are preserved

perfectly

B)     soil erosion takes a long time and, therefore, plants have time to grow up

C)    plant seeds in the soil are unaffected by the fire and begin to germinate in the wet season

D)    the ashes of the burnt organic matter contain many minerals indispensable for plants

E)     the area where the fires have taken place becomes suitable for shade-intolerant plants

Soru 9 :

Today scientists draw attention to some of the potential consequences of global warming on wildlife. They point out that each species reacts to changes in

temperature differently. Some species will undoubtedly become extinct, particularly those with narrow temperature requirements, those confined to small reserves or parks, and those living in fragile ecosystems, whereas other species may survive in greatly reduced numbers and ranges. Ecosystems

considered most vulnerable to species loss in the short term are polar seas, coral reefs, mountains, coastal wetlands,tundra, taiga, and temperate forests. On the other hand, some species may be able to migrate to new environments or adapt themselves to the changing conditions in their present habitats. Also, some species may be unaffected by global warming, whereas others may emerge from it as winners, with greatly expanded numbers and ranges. Those considered most likely to prosper include weeds, pests, and disease-carrying organisms that are already common in many different

environments. 

It is clear from the passage that global warming  .----

A)     has caused much decline in the number of many rare species

B)     is particularly harmful to coastal wetlands and coral reefs

C)    has increased dangerously and extensively throughout the world

D)    has already forced many species to migrate to new environments

E)     does not have the same impact on all species

Soru 19 : Superstitions grow out of man's attempts to explain the unknown. When man disproves the old belief, and some still cling to the belief, it becomes a superstition. In Western Europe, prior to 600 B.C., man considered rabbits to be sacred, because of their belief that spirits inhabited the bodies of animals, and also because of their belief that man directly descended from some of these animals. Later, the ancient European Celts adopted portions of the older belief, that rabbits were sacred, and that spirits inhabited their bodies. The Celts, based upon the fact that these animals spent an inordinate amount of time in their underground burrows, held the belief that the rabbits' bodies were inhabited by underground spirits with whom they communicated. Another reason the Celts held the rabbit to be sacred, was because of their prowess in the field of reproduction. Since the rabbit itself was considered to be lucky, it follows that any of its body parts would also be considered lucky. People selected the rabbit's foot for good luck.

Soru 33 :

The Mississippi is one of the world’s great continental rivers, like the Amazon in South America, the Congo in Africa, or the Volga in Europe. Its waters are gathered from two-thirds of the US and, together with the Missouri, which is its chief western branch, the Mississippi flows some 6.400 kilometres from its northern sources in the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico, which makes it one of the world’s longest waterways. The Mississippi has been called the “father of waters”. Through all its lower course, it wanders along, appearing lazy and harmless. But people who know the river are not deceived by its benign appearance, for they have had many bitter struggles with its floods. They have had to learn that nothing is to be gained by fighting against the rages of the mighty stream. To control it, Americans have had to accept some of the river’s own terms and to undertake the patient work of conserving and rebuilding soil, grasslands and forests, far back where the waters begin to gather.

  It is pointed out in the passage that, although in its lower course the Mississippi looks quiet and

harmless, ----.

A) most people believe that it may one day overflow

its banks

B) the people living along it are not aware of this

C) actually it has caused much devastation

D) people have always been indifferent to the
