Soru 4 : By the early 19th century, the eminent French zoologist Georges Cuvier believed he had found rock-solid evidence for the biblical great flood. While studying the geological strata around Paris, Cuvier found that fossils or sea creatures in one ancient layer of chalk were overlaid by those of land creatures. Then, just as abruptly, the layer above contained sea creatures again, with the top layer showing evidence of a vast and rapid inundation around present-day Paris. Cuvier regarded these sudden changes in the fossil record as evidence for sudden catastrophes which devastated life of Earth, of which the great flood was just the most recent example. Cuvier's discoveries, published in 1812, won support from a large number of eminent scientists such as the geologist Sir James Hall. However, there were a few who were deeply sceptical, pointing out that the evidence of a global flood was far from conclusive. Most sceptical of all were the followers of the Scottish geologist James Hutton. In 1795, he had published a two-volume text based on the view that the slow, steady processes that shape our planet today, such as erosion, were also crucially important in the distant past.
Cevap 4 : D
Çözüm 4 : Soru kökünde, Cuvier ile ilgili bir konu sorulmuştur. Burada ise soru kökünde doğrudan bizi parçanın belli kısmına yönlendirebilecek bir ifade yoktur. Parçada geçen “Cuvier regarded these sudden changes in the fossil record as evidence for sudden catastrophes which devastated life of Earth, of which the great flood was just the most recent example.” ifade anlam olarak “D” seçeneğinde geçen “…interpreted his fossil discoveries as indications of major catastrophes similar to the great flood…” ifadeleri anlam olarak birbirine yakındır. Seçenekte ve parçadaki cümlede geçen “interpret – regard” ve “indication-evidence”, kelimeleri de birbirinin yerine kullanılmıştır. Doğru cevap “D” şıkkıdır.

Soru 7 :

The woodland frog is the only animal able to survive after it's been frozen. These frogs live north of the Artic circle and survive for weeks in a frozen state. Glucose in their blood acts as a kind of antifreeze that concentrates on the frogs' vital organs, protecting them from damage while the rest of the body freezes solid. When ice forms on the frog's skin its heart may slow until it stops completely, making it appear dead. Although up to 65 percent of its body water can get frozen, its cells aren't. What freezes is the water outside the cells. Once the outside temperature rises the frog 'comes back to life' as if nothing happened.

The passage points out that woodland frogs
----.

A) do not actually freeze, they just look like they are frozen
B) can freeze more than half of their bodies when needed
C) freeze easily in sub-zero temperatures
D) are only found in the Arctic circle
E) freeze their cells in order to protect their hearts

Soru 12 : China's population is ageing and India's schools are deteriorating. Economies in the developing world are growing at nearly three times the rate of those in the developed world; but perhaps they won't be able to sustain this rate of growth.

Soru 18 :

“The Milky Way galaxy belongs to the Local Group, a smaller group of 3 large, and over 30 small galaxies, and is the second largest (after the Andromeda Galaxy M31) but perhaps the most massive member of this group.
