Soru 5 : In this century, the wealth and success of nations will depend like never before on the ability to produce and use knowledge. Universities have long been instrumental in generating knowledge and ideas. But in an increasingly globalized world, and in the face of rapid scientific change, they will need to think about a set of new challenges and how best to prepare their students for the coming decades. Universities will need to teach a new kind of literacy, in which global awareness will play an important role. They also need to deal with the dilemmas posed by the accelerating pace of change brought on by scientific and technological advances. We are on the brink of once-in-human-history progress in combating disease through the application of modern science. Doctors will have at their disposal blood tests that will tell you with substantial predictive power how long you will live and from what diseases you are likely to suffer. The Internet and the application of information technology may well represent the most profound change in the way knowledge is disseminated since the printing press. We are close to understanding the first second of the history of the cosmos.

Soru 15 : The ability of the cat to survive falls from high places that would kill humans or other animals is not due to multiple lives, but to several advantages they possess. Their small size and low body weight soften the impact as they make contact with the ground. The highly developed inner ears of cats equip them with a keen sense of balance, which is critical to their landing on their feet. Since cats land on all four paws, the impact from landing on the ground is absorbed by all four. Additionally, cats bend their legs when they land, which cushions the impact by spreading the impact. A cat stands a greater chance of survival if it falls from a higher place than from a lower place. Laws of physics explain why the survival rates vary. All falling bodies, regardless of their masses, accelerate by 22 miles per hour per second of their falls. The falling object, after travelling a certain distance through the air reaches a final speed, that is, “terminal velocity”, because the object’s friction with the air slows the fall. The smaller the object’s mass, and the greater its area, the more it will slow.

Soru 22 :

In the past decade academics have been involved in investigating differences between men and women. Researchers have been especially interested in discovering what women can do better than men. As far as language is concerned, studies show that girls begin talking before boys and are capable of producing more varied and sophisticated sentences. In addition to having a better command of the language, women also appear to have better social skills and are more likely to be complimentary than men. Another area that has been investigated is how men and women lead. Women try to share power and make their employees feel more worthwhile. Men, on the other hand, like to demonstrate their authority more formally and seem to care more about hierarchy. However, it is worth remembering that study results reflect averages, and there will always be exceptions.

 61 . We understand from the passage that, _____

A)  men prefer to demonstrate their authority

B)  girls are much capable of talking than boys

C)  A person can have an acceptable reason to share power

Soru 25 :

Today scientists draw attention to some of the potential consequences of global warming on wildlife. They point out that each species reacts to changes in

temperature differently. Some species will undoubtedly become extinct, particularly those with narrow temperature requirements, those confined to small reserves or parks, and those living in fragile ecosystems, whereas other species may survive in greatly reduced numbers and ranges. Ecosystems

considered most vulnerable to species loss in the short term are polar seas, coral reefs, mountains, coastal wetlands,tundra, taiga, and temperate forests. On the other hand, some species may be able to migrate to new environments or adapt themselves to the changing conditions in their present habitats. Also, some species may be unaffected by global warming, whereas others may emerge from it as winners, with greatly expanded numbers and ranges. Those considered most likely to prosper include weeds, pests, and disease-carrying organisms that are already common in many different

environments. 

According to the passage, some species ----.

A)     are very sensitive to the nvironments with narrow temperature requirements and, therefore,

would have their habitats elsewhere

B)     are so adaptable to different environments that they keep on migrating from one environment to

another

C)    prefer to have their habitats not only in places such as mountains and wetlands, but also in

tundra, taiga, and temperate forests

D)    will be positively affected by global warming and, consequently, will increase in number and range

E)     such as weeds and pests would survive only in one kind of ecosystem even though they react to changes in temperature 

Cevap 25 : D
Çözüm 25 : Paragrafta verilen “whereas others may emerge from it as winners, with greatly expanded numbers and ranges.” Ifadeden bazı türlerin ısınmadan fazla etkilenmeyip sayılarının artacağı anlaşılmaktadır.Bunu en iyi D “some species will be positively affected by global warming and, consequently, will increase in number and range”Bazı türklerin ısınmadan olumlu etkilenip çoğalacakları ifadesi ile anlatılmaktadır.
