Soru 25 : The 16th century in England is generally known as the Tudor period, which historically lasted from 1485 to 1603. Among the famous Tudor sovereigns were Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I. In fact, the early years of the Tudor period were marked by significant changes in trade and in the arts of war. Henry VII made commercial treaties with European countries. Economically, England, which had always been a sheep-raising country, was by now manufacturing and exporting significant amounts of
cloth. As lands were enclosed to permit grazing on a larger scale, people were driven off the land to the cities, and London grew into a metropolitan market with sophisticated commercial institutions. These changes had an impact on the traditional feudal social order, which also began to decline; also, due to the introduction of cannons and firearms, the feudal system of warfare became obsolete. Yet, it would be a mistake to imagine these changes as sudden and dramatic. In fact, it was a slow and long process whereby England was transformed into a modern state.
One understands from the passage that the Tudor dynasty in England ----.
A) was best represented by Henry VIII, who
followed a policy of friendship with other
countries
B) introduced a number of military reforms in order
to build the strongest army in Europe
C) focused its main attention on the improvement of
agriculture in the country

played a leading role in European politics

ruled the country over a century

Soru 33 : People who are into body building have one goal in mind – to become the biggest, most muscular people in the world. To accomplish this, they will do almost anything to gain muscle. For most, this means hours of grind and toil at the gym. Given time and effort, these dedicated individuals become champions who gain the respect and envy of an admiring world. Unfortunately, there are those who want instant results and are willing to do anything to shortcut the time-honoured process. Many people are tempted to use steroids, because they promise quick muscle gain. While taking large doses of these magical potions, you can actually see your gains come almost daily – and this is how you get hooked. After a few weeks of incredible gain, you now try to give up steroids, but soon start to see your muscle gain fade away. After a few weeks, you go back to the bottle to regain your beloved muscle mass. This is the first sign that the steroids are affecting your mind. They tell you that you can’t be without them, and that if you take more you can get even bigger. As doses increase, you become a different person, both physically and mentally. You probably won’t even notice that you are going through what has been called the ‘roid rage’ since you will be too occupied with building up mass. But others will see, even experience, your personality changes. Roid rages were previously thought to be an outward sign of the extreme joy associated with dynamic muscle growth. It now seems that heavy use of these steroids can seriously affect mood and personality.
54.We understand from the passage that aggression ................
A) is born out of impatience when people work out
B) can eventually make you mentally and physically ill
C) is not observed in people who work out their muscles
D) and other personality problems can result from steroid use

Soru 40 : Often, it is claimed that small children who are learning to speak two languages go through a stage of mixing and confusing the two. The use of words from both languages in a single sentence is cited as evidence that the child cannot distinguish between the two languages, but in reality, this is not a sign of confusion. In fact, it has been shown that the use of two languages in one sentence by mature bilinguals reveals a great deal of linguistic skill. It is also true that, while young bilingual children sometimes use words from two languages in the same sentence, they produce far more sentences using only one language. This clearly shows that they are able to keep their languages separate. The question then becomes, in what circumstances do children use words from both languages in the same sentence? They do it only when talking to people that they know can understand both languages and who do not get upset with them for using such sentences. In other words, the social context in which children find themselves determines whether and to what extent they use more than one language in a single sentence. The same happens with bilingual adults; they use words from two languages in the same sentence only in sociolinguistic settings in which it is appropriate.
It is implied from the passage that ____.
A) the earlier a child learns the second language the more skilfully he uses it
B) children’s using the words of two languages in a sentence changes as to time and place
C) the study of language has nothing to do with social factors
D) learning second language at an early age determines the success of children
E) while speaking, interference of the 2nd language shows
language disability
