Soru 3 : There is no sharp distinction between science and engineering. That is why engineers and scientists are often confused in the minds of the general public. While scientists explore nature in order to discover general principles, engineers apply established principles drawn from mathematics and science in order to develop economical solutions to technical problems. The work of engineers is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers consider many factors when developing a new product. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers precisely specify the functional requirements; design and test the robot’s components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. This process applies to the development of many different products, such as chemicals, computers, engines, aircraft, and toys.
. It can be inferred from the passage that engineers ................
A) are as ambitious as scientists
B) have to take into consideration the economic and functional aspects of new products
C) are required to explore nature in order to develop new products
D) are much more successful than scientists
E) earn much less than scientists

Soru 20 : If one or more of the four heart valves are diseased or damaged it can affect the flow of blood in two ways. If the valve does not open fully, it obstructs the flow of blood - known as valve stenosis. If the valve does not close properly, it will allow blood to leak backwards - called valve incompetence or valve regurgitation. Both stenosis, a narrowing which makes the heart pump faster to get blood past the obstruction, and incompetence, which means the heart has to do more to pump the required volume of blood forwards, put extra strain on the heart. The blood behind the affected valve will also be under increased pressure, called back pressure, leading to a build-up of fluid in the lungs or lower part of the body, depending on the valve affected. Symptoms include tiredness or breathlessness when exercising, swelling of the ankles and legs, dizziness or fainting in extreme cases. Angina - chest pain - can occur. Heart valve disease can be caused by being born with one or more abnormal valves, called congenital heart disease. Disease can also be the result of rheumatic fever, now uncommon in the UK, or ageing of the heart, if valves thicken. Drugs, including diuretics, ACE inhibitors and dioxin, can be used to treat valvular heart disease, but if the obstruction or leaking of the valves is too severe, medicines may not be enough and surgery may be required. The danger varies for individual patients depending on factors such as age and other medical conditions.There is an implication in the passage that ____.
A) malformation of the heart valves are only stenosed valves
B) valve disease can develop before birth
C) fatigue is not the real symptom of heart valve disorder
D) the cause of valve disease can be a childhood attack of rheumatic fever
E) sometimes the cause of valve disease is unknown

Soru 35 : Therapists have to be very careful before they make a diagnosis of delusional disorder. A great many complaints are founded on fact. It is possible that a patient is really being harassed at work, that her husband is deceiving her, or that her business partner is cheating her. Indeed, therapists must be careful not to mislabel facts as delusions, a trap known as 'the Martha Mitchell effect'. Martha Mitchell was the wife of former US attorney general John Mitchell. In October 1972, he was accused of having ordered the break in at the Democratic campaign headquarters in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D. C. Mrs Mitchell repeatedly told the press that her husband was being made a scapegoat to protect the real culprit President Richard M. Nixon. The White House spread disinformation about Mrs Mitchell, saying she had a drinking problem and implying that her statements were delusional. When the scandal was ultimately unravelled, Mrs Mitchell's statements were proved true and she was shown to be utterly sane and with no drinking problem.
We learn from the passage that, in the Watergate affair, US attorney general John Mitchell -----.
A) was criminally involved in the break in at the Democratic campaign headquarters
B) was made to appear as the leading wrongdoer
C) asked the press to interview his wife
D) advised President Nixon on the legal procedure
E) was anxious that his wife should not get involved with the press

Soru 46 : History is one of the few school subjects commonly mandated in education systems throughout the world. Furthermore, the use of history textbooks to support student learning is an almost universally accepted practice. However, the widespread international presence of the humble history textbook should not disguise its ideological and cultural potency. Indeed, essential to understanding the power and importance of history textbooks is to appreciate that in any given culture they typically exist as the keepers of ideas, values and knowledge. No matter how neutral history textbooks may appear, they are ideologically important, because they often seek to inject the youth with a shared set of values, national ethos and an incontrovertible sense of political orthodoxy. Textbooks stand as cultural artefacts that embody a range of issues associated with ideology, politics and values which in themselves function at a variety of different levels of power, status and influence. Embedded in history textbooks are narratives and stories that nation states choose to tell about themselves and their relations with other nations. Typically, they represent a core of cultural knowledge which future generations are expected both to assimilate and support.
According to the passage, regardless of how impartially they are written, history textbooks ----.
A) need to teach both the past and the future
B) serve a purpose other than intended
C) are the best options for cultural transmission
