Soru 5 :

No child is too young to play and therefore to engage in engineering, even though it is of a primitive kind. We all did so as children ourselves, when we devised our own toys and games - and sometimes even imaginary friends to enjoy them with us. The idea of playfulness is embedded in engineering through the concepts of invention and design. Not that engineering is trivial; rather, the heart of the activity is to give imagination its freedom to dream and turn those dreams into reality. Children do experience the essence of engineering in their earliest activities, yet there is seldom any recognition that this is the case. They may hear the word 'engineer' only in connection with railroad locomotives and have no idea that their playful activity could become a lifelong profession. Engineers themselves are understandably reluctant to equate their professional activity with mere child's play; after all, they studied long and hard to master complicated knowledge of atoms and molecules, stresses and strains, heat and power, current and voltages, bits and bytes. They manipulate equations, not blocks. They use computers for serious modelling and calculation, not for fun and games. They design and build real towers and bridges that test the limits of reliability and safety, not toy ones that totter and fall down with little consequence.

 

The main point the writer is making in this passage is that ------.

A)  man has practised engineering ever since primitive times

B)  some children are born to be engineers

C)  children and engineers both have the capacity to imagine and create

D)  reliability and safety are minor details for the professional engineer

E)  any engineering fault in design or calculation does have serious consequences

Soru 6 : “Birds spend most of their time looking for food. Some birds, like owls and eagles, are carnivores. Some birds, like the hummingbird, grouse, and Canada goose, are mostly herbivores. Other birds, like starlings, are omnivores. Birds mostly use their keen eyesight to find food. Some amazing hunters, like eagles, have eyesight that is five to six times sharper than a person’s. They can spot a small prey from a mile away. They use their beak and their claws to get bugs, worms, small mammals, fish, fruit, grain or nectar. Some birds, like the tiny, nectar-eating hummingbird, are important pollinaters of some flowering plants.”

Soru 14 : What is this mysterious 'stock market'? Is it a place that sells stock? Well, sort of. First of all, let's look at what stock is. Stock is an investment that people pay to a company because they believe that that company will make money. It's kind of like a loan, except that payback isn't guaranteed. A bunch of people give company money, and in return those people (called investors) get a certain amount of shares of stock. The company sells these shares of stock at a certain price; and the more money you pay, the more shares you can buy. For example, if the price of Disney stock is $10, then you can get 3 shares for $30. When you write Disney a check for $30, they give you 3 shares of stock. What can you do with it? Most people who buy shares of stock want to sell them for more than they bought them for, so they hold onto them. If the share price goes up to $15, then you can sell your 3 shares of stock and make $15, since you spent $30 originally and you got $45 back. You might think, however, that Disney is a good company that makes good products and that they might make even more money later on. You could hold onto your stock and hope that the share price goes even higher. Usually, the more money a company makes, the higher its stock price goes. You might decide that you're going to sell only if the share price reaches $30. In that case, you watch the share price until it reaches the $30 level, then sell. What do you make? Well, you get $90, so you make a profit of $60 (since you spent $30 to buy the stock in the first place).

Soru 23 : For over thirty years, the Bermuda Triangle has been popularly known for disappearances of boats and aircraft. This imaginary triangle has its three points at Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.  The 1945 disappearance of five military airplanes and a rescue plane was the primary focus of the Bermuda Triangle legend. In December of that year, Flight 19 set out on a training mission from Florida with a leader who wasn't feeling well, an underexperienced crew, a lack of navigation equipment, a limited supply of fuel, and rough seas below. Inexperienced pleasure boaters and aviators are common in the area of the triangle. They travel too far from the coast and often have an insufficient supply of fuel or knowledge of the swiftly moving Gulf Stream current. Overall, the mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle is not much of a mystery at all but has simply been the result of an overemphasis on the accidents which have occurred in the area.

Soru 24 :

On an individual basis,  poverty is caused by the level of education,  skill,  intelligence and experience one has. Mental and physical handicaps,  feebleness due to age and discrimination due to sexual orientation,  race,  sex and other bigotry also are causes. Causes on a societal level include warfare,  agricultural cycles,  natural disasters,  droughts and flooding. There are at least two approaches to explaining societal poverty,  including case and generic theories. The case approach says that individual theories (or cases) of poverty make up the aggregate (or total) reasons for societal poverty. The generic theory of poverty,  however,  maintains that systemwide societal problems,  such as low national income,  cause individual cases of poverty.In other words,  case theories believe in combating poverty by addressing individual causes. Generic theory,  on the other hand,  believes in combating poverty by addressing the overarching social and economic issues that cause it.

A)  unemployment creates a lack of financial stability

B)  poverty is caused by  spiral in social mobility and eventually poverty

Soru 25 : The climate of the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent land areas are influenced by the temperatures of the surface waters and water currents as well as the winds blowing across the waters. Because of the ocean's great capacity for retaining heat, maritime climates are moderate and free of extreme seasonal variations. Precipitation can be approximated from coastal weather data and air temperature from the water temperatures. The oceans are the major source of the atmospheric moisture that is obtained through evaporation. Climatic zones vary with latitude; the warmest climatic zones stretch across the Atlantic north of the equator. The coldest zones are in the high latitudes, with the coldest regions corresponding to the areas covered by sea ice. Ocean currents contribute to climatic control by transporting warm and cold waters to other regions. Adjacent land areas are affected by the winds that are cooled or warmed when blowing over these currents. The Gulf Stream, for example, warms the atmosphere of the British Isles and north-western Europe, and the cold water currents contribute to heavy fog off the coast of north-eastern Canada north-western coast of Africa. In general, winds tend to transport moisture and warm or cool air over land areas. Hurricanes develop in the southern part of the North Atlantic Ocean. Also, the Atlantic Ocean appears to be the second youngest of the world's oceans, after the Southern Ocean. Evidence indicates that the Atlantic Ocean did not exist prior to 180 million years ago.

Soru 26 :

Babies can remember sounds they heard in the womb more than a year after birth, as a study by Leicester University has found. The research demonstrated that one-year-old babies recognize music they were exposed to up to three months before birth. Previously, experts thought that babies could only remember anything for a month or two.  The study was called The Child Of Our Time, and involved a small group of mothers playing a single piece of music to their babies for the last three months before birth. The music was chosen by the mother and included classical, pop and reggae.

More than a year later, 11 of the babies were tested and showed a preference for the selected music compared with very similar pieces of music they had not heard before. The baby's preference was demonstrated by the amount of time spent looking towards the source of the music. A control group of children tested with the same pieces of music showed no preference for a particular piece.

It is stated clearly in the passage that ----.

 

A)  the mothers selected several different   kinds of music, and also played more than one song at a time to improve the study

B)  the mothers did not play several different songs during the study, only one song repeated many times

C)  out of the music available to them, the  mothers could pick at least one song

D)  the mothers could not play any music to  their babies until three months before birth

E)  the study didn’t offer much new  information about babies and sound

Soru 39 : When National Cancer Institute researchers recently concluded that beta carotene supplements didn’t prevent lung cancer, millions were left scratching their heads. For years, nutritionists had been recommending beta carotene, a plant-derived form of Vitamin A, as one of several nutrients that help prevent cancer by reducing cell damage. But the NCI study disproved the beta carotene theory, and even suggested that it increases the risk of cancer in long time smokers. It seems the best defence against cancer is eating up your salad. Fruits and vegetables are rich in a wide variety of cancer-fighting compounds. According to the vast majority of studies done on diet and cancer prevention, the more fruit and vegetables you eat, the more you reduce your risk of cancer. Trying to get those benefits in pill form, however, hasn’t been a very successful strategy – at least in the case of beta carotene. If beta carotene alone doesn’t prevent lung cancer, should non-smokers still bother taking it? Several studies show that it may help boost the immune system and prevent throat cancer. But for across-the-board cancer prevention, you need all the minerals and vitamins you would find in a multivitamin supplement, plus all the plant chemicals that are still being discovered. You need all these nutrients working as a team. And, to gain the maximum nutritional benefit from fruit and vegetables, you should choose the best way to prepare them. Serve them raw if it is possible; microwave, steam or stir-fry if not, as these cooking methods preserve nutrients better than the others.

Soru 49 :

Mohandas Gandhi was the most important and intelligent person in all of India. Gandhi’s character was very temperamental. He was very kind and helped his country gain independence from Great Britain. Gandhi seemed to believe in using peaceful ways to fight battles, which meant he must not have been a violent person. This is also supported by the fact that he did not harm another human being once in his life (as shown in the film). He was also a very good husband and made himself be respected among his wives. He was a very determined man also because he would not give up on his cause no matter what. One event that caught my attention was when Gandhi was assassinated. The man who did this seemed to be just somebody normal who would have normally attended these gatherings and could have been a follower. The reason that it caught my eye was because I was surprised to see that none of his followers tried to take the bullet for him or anything like that. This film had a very positive effect on me. I thought that this movie was very educational and reflected a very sad yet joyous side of Indian history. I learned, from watching this movie, that a battle or war can be fought with no violence and a reasonable agreement can be reached without millions of people get killed.

 

57.   It is understood from the passage that ____.

 

A)  the film didn’t show India and its people

B)  Gandhi was betrayed from people took sides of war

C)  Gandhi’s movie gave some information about the past of Indians

D) the aim of Gandhi was to  emerge the hidden side of a war

explaining the real Indian history was made Gandhi well-known
