Soru 1 : 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.
One gathers from the passage that, in the
Hellenistic Age, ----.
A) Aristotle’s writings and the works of other
philosophers were edited and published
B) astronomy was the science which received the
most attention
C) all astronomers held the same views about the
Sun and the planets
D) astronomy was just one of several sciences to
be studied seriously
E) it was commonly accepted that Aristarchus’s
ideas had mainly derived from Aristotle

Soru 3 : In England, transportation had improved a great deal during the years before 1830, but moving heavy
materials, particularly coal, remained a problem. It is therefore significant that the first modern railway, built in 1825 for the transportation of coal, ran from the Durham coal field of Stockton to Darlington near the coast. Coal had traditionally been transported short distances via tramways, or tracks along which horses pulled coal carts. The Stockton-to-Darlington railway was a logical extension of a tramway, designed to answer the transportation needs arising from constantly expanding industrialization. The man primarily responsible for the design of the first steam railway was George Stephenson, a self-educated engineer who had not learned to read until he was seventeen. The locomotives on the Stockton-Darlington line travelled at fifteen miles an hour, the fastest rate at which machines had yet moved goods overland. Soon they would move people as well,transforming transportation in the process.
Attention is drawn in the passage to the fact that,in the early decades of the nineteenth century,
----.
A) England made great advances in the design and manufacture of machines
B) the production of coal in England was technically much improved
C) Darlington developed into a major port for England’s export of coal
D) England was in a continuous process of industrial growth
E) engineering was not yet a profession that was popular in England

Soru 11 : Modernist Art in Europe 1910–25 by Robert l.Herbert. Herbert’s thesis of his essay is to investigate the arrival of the machine and modern art and its complexities. During WWI, modernist painting and sculpture paid major attention to machinery, science and industry. Modern art during that time has become a central factor in our culture due to its dominance in public art, museums, media and literature. Herbert brings in background information and stated the avant-garde of Pisarro, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, etc. The industrial revolution had a stronger grip on society during the 19th century, and during this time, modern art was associated with primitive nature. During the rise of industrial art there was a rise of landscapes and paintings of rural everyday life. Also, the new technique and style which became the handcraft to modern art was so avant-garde from the academic art. Modern art was involved with cubism, futurism and vorticism. He explains that all of these arts consisted of the importance of handcraft, creativity, individuality, and original expression. Herbert keeps bringing in the fact the machine was the leading sign of modernity. There was no more of a gap between handwork and the machine. Also, that the machine became so important in modern art because it was now a part of daily urban life, due to subways, telephones, automobiles, sewing machines, bicycles, televisions, cinema, and more advanced photographic and advertising developments.
The passage gives the general account of ____.
A) explaining the every aspects of industrial art
B) the relationship between art and industry
C) the description of modern art
D) showing the art life of Herbert
E) the innovations of The Industrial Revolution

Soru 27 : Most American plays of the 18th and 19th centuries strongly reflected British influence. In fact, no New York City theatre season presented more American plays than British plays until 1910. The reasons behind this phenomenon are complex, but a common language and the ready availability of British plays and British actors offer the most obvious explanation. Although the British repertory dominated the American stage for so long, American drama had begun to diverge from British drama by the time of Andrew Jackson’s presidency, from 1828 to 1836. British plays, which typically reflected the attitudes and manners of the upper classes, were by then in conflict with more egalitarian American values. Despite this growing divergence, British actors, theatre managers, and plays continued to cross the Atlantic Ocean with regularity, and most American plays copied British models until the early 20th century. For this reason some critics claim that American drama was not born until the end of World War I (1914-1918).By the end of the 19th century American drama was moving steadily toward realism, illuminating the rough or seamy side of life and creating more believable characters. Realism remained the dominant trend of the 20th century in both comedies and tragedies. American drama achieved international recognition with the psychological realism of plays by Eugene O’Neill and their searing investigation of characters’ inner lives. As the century advanced, the number of topics considered suitable for drama broadened to encompass race, gender, sexuality, and death.
56. In the 19th century, the main reason why American plays were less popular than British plays was that ................
A) British plays used a more sophisticated language
B) American plays depicted the life of the upper classes
C) British actors were more talented than American actors
D) American drama was more complex and did not appeal to the common people
E) British players demanded less money than American players

Soru 30 : Extensive scientific testing on dogs supports the conclusion that they live in a colorless world. Similar tests conducted on cats produced similar results, which led scientists to conclude that they, too, are colorblind and live in a gray world. The inability of most animals to see colors, from an evolutionary standpoint, is quite simple to understand. Many colorblind animals have dull-colored coats, hunt for food in the dark of night, or graze in the dim twilight hours. Their other senses have developed to the point where the lack of color vision in no way impairs them. For them, life in a colorless world is neither a handicap, nor a threat to their survival. For example, the dog’s keen sense of smell compensates for his inability to see colors, and enables him to differentiate between things. The only animals, other than man, scientists can conclusively say have color vision are monkeys and apes. They are not sure of anything else yet.
The passage mainly discusses ----.
A) scientific testing on dogs
B) the colorless world that the dog lives in
C) some animals’ inability to see colors
D) the monkey’s ability to see colors
E) the evolutionary gift unique to dogs and cats

Soru 41 : A songwriter is someone who writes the lyrics to songs, the musical composition or melody to songs, or both. That is to say, a songwriter is a ‘lyricist’, a composer, or both. The word 'songwriter' is however more commonly used these days to describe one who writes popular songs for others to perform than to describe a writer of art songs. People who sing their own songs are nowadays typically called ‘singer-songwriters’, although the tradition of doing this dates back hundreds of years. It is often speculated that pre-historic man must have made up and sung songs. Most art song-writing is written for somebody other than the composer to perform, although it is known that Schubert often sang his own songs at private parties, and there have been a number of composers who were also singers and wrote for themselves. Many modern rock and roll bands have one or two songwriters, often members of the band. In many cases, the lead singer is one of the songwriters.
It is clear from the passage that in modern pop and rock bands, songwriters ----.
A) often write for more than one band at a time
B) are chosen by record companies
C) have classical music backgrounds
D) are always the lead singer, making them ‘singer-songwriters’

Soru 43 : In the last third of the 19th century, new Technologies transformed the face of manufacturing in Europe, leading to new levels of economic growth and complex realignments among industry, labour and national governments. Like Europe’s first industrial revolution, which began in the late 18th century and centred on coal, steam and iron, this “second” industrial revolution relied on innovation in three key areas: steel, electricity, and chemicals. For instance, steel, which was harder, stronger and more malleable than iron, had long been used as a construction material. But until the mid-nineteenth century,producing steel cheaply and in large quantities was impossible. That changed between the 1850s and 1870s, as new and different processes for refining and mass-producing alloy steel revolutionized the metallurgical industry. Although iron did not disappear overnight, it was soon eclipsed by soaring steel production. So, steel began to be used for various purposes. In Britain, for example, shipbuilders made a quick and profitable switch to steel construction, and thus kept their lead in the industry. Germany and the US, however, dominated the rest of the steel industry. By 1901, Germany was producing almost half as much steel as Britain and was able to build a massive national and industrial
infrastructure.
One understands from the passage that, before the mid-nineteenth century, ----.
A) steel production had been costly and did not
amount to much quantity
B) the “second” industrial revolution had spread all
over Europe
C) Germany and Britain had been in fierce
competition in developing shipbuilding
technologies

Soru 49 : The Romans were descended from a cluster of peoples who had crossed the Alps into Italy during the second millenium B.C. and spoke a variety of Indo-European dialects. Recent archaeological research has pushed the origins of the city of Rome back to at least the tenth century B.C., several centuries earlier than the traditional date 753 B.C., which the Romans themselves considered their city’s foundation year. Rome’s strategic location along the Tiber River brought it many different advantages.Trading ships could navigate the Tiber as far as Rome, but no farther; the city could thus serve as a port without being threatened by attack from the sea. Rome’s famous hills increased the defensibility of the site. In other words, as a city, Rome was situated at a junction across the Tiber, making it a major land and river crossroads.
