Soru 4 : Recent changes in American society have resulted in increasing number of minority students enrolling in colleges and universities. Differing views among these ethnic groups can sometimes cause conflicts for students of all races. Some argue that students and universities benefit from these ethnic conflicts. Same time others believe that increasing racial diversity in American colleges and university has led to a decrease in the quality of education. People who support multiculturalism in universities believe that “students who can resolve conflict in racially diverse universities will be better prepared to succeed than students at universities that are more homogeneous”. Conflict is expected, perhaps even healthy, in a social situation where people have different interests and compete for scarce resources. Some American schools are racially integrated, so “it is not surprising that students experience shock and tension when they arrive at their first experience of multiculturalism”. But shocks like this maybe a good preparation for future life. According to Duster, nowadays students are far more competent, far more eligible, far more prepared than his time.
According to the passage___.
A) all races and nations have not been equally affected by this unprecedented change in human racial distribution
B) there can be no neat and tidy pluralistic separation of racial groups in school
C) In the minds of minority students, affirmative action is not a cause of their academic difficulties
D) only socially relevant characteristics are used as criteria of ethnicity
E) students the same kind of race in a university are less successful than those in a university which has various ethnic groups

Soru 6 : 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.
The passage largely deals with ____.
A) the difficulties children come across in bilingual environment
B) many discussions of the advantages of early bilingualism
C) the effects of using two languages at the same time
D) description of the usage of bilingualism
E) how adults effect kids to use two languages

Soru 17 : The Copernican revolution began over 500 years ago with the realization that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, but we still await its grand finale: the
anticipated discovery of life elsewhere. Where else might we find life? The vast scale of the universe makes it virtually certain that there are other Earthlike
settings. In our own solar system, Mars’s distance from the Sun makes it sufficiently Earth-like; so, especially with increasing evidence for occasional
liquid water, many are looking there for the first signs of extraterrestrial life. Recently, however, a new contender has emerged, and surprisingly it is from
the cold outer solar system: it is Jupiter’s moon Europa. As one of the four satellites of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is now
believed to have water in a liquid state, even though it is so far from the Sun. Thus, the possibility of liquid water on Europa has opened the door to speculation
about life on this satellite of Jupiter.
It is stated in the passage that currently Mars ----.
A) has been established as the only planet with a
vast amount of water under its surface
B) is being fully explored because, as a planet, it is
so close to the Earth
C) has been partially studied, and so it still
maintains its mystery as a planet
D) has been the main focus of the scientific search
for extraterrestrial life
E) and Europa provide a great deal of evidence for
a better understanding of the solar system

Soru 26 : Scientists who study Earth's moon have two big regrets about the six Apollo missions that landed a dozen astronauts on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972. The biggest regret, of course, is that the missions ended so abruptly, with so much of the moon still unexplored. But researchers also lament that the great triumph of Apollo led to a popular misconception: because astronauts have visited the moon, there is no compelling reason to go back. In the 1990s, however, two probes that orbited the moon raised new questions about Earth's airless satellite. One stunning discovery was strong evidence of water ice in the perpetually shadowed areas near the moon's poles. Because scientists believe that comets deposited water and organic compounds on both Earth and its moon, well-preserved ice at the lunar poles could yield clues to the origins of life.
According to the passage, even though there were six Apollo missions to the moon roughly thirty years ago, —.
A) none of them could claim to be successful
B) man's knowledge of the moon has not increased at all
C) a very large proportion of the lunar surface remains to date unexamined

Soru 27 : Hepatitis A is an enterovirus transmitted by the orofecal route, such as contaminated food. It causes an acute form of hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), does not have a chronic stage, and will not cause any permanent damage to the liver. The patient's immune system makes antibodies against Hepatitis A that confer immunity against future infection. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis A for life. Young children who catch hepatitis A often have a milder form of the disease, usually lasting from 1-3 weeks, whereas adults tend to experience a much more severe form of the disease. They are often confined to bed and minimal activity for about 4 weeks and have to stop their work for from one to three months or longer. Many adults take up to 6-12 months and occasionally longer to recover entirely. Symptoms that may be experienced after the first month or two are low immunity: It is much easier to catch minor infections and for these infections to linger longer than they normally would. Many people experience a slow but sure improvement, over this later period. They are generally able to function fairly normally, still needing more sleep and reduced athletic activity. It is common for recovering patients to experience occasional 'off' days, during which they need to rest more. There is no specific treatment for Hepatitis A. Sufferers are advised to rest, avoid fatty foods and alcohol (these may be poorly tolerated for some additional months during the recovery phase and cause minor relapses), eat a well-balanced diet, and stay hydrated.60 . It is clearly stated in the passage that ...............
A) antibodies are the bacteria found in contaminated food
B) antibodies have a vital role in fighting Hepatitis A
C) the scientists are still trying to find the vaccine against Hepatitis A
D) the vaccine of Hepatitis A provides only a short-term prevention
E) older children are affected by Hepatitis A less severely

In the 1940s DDT was found to be an excellent way to control insects. It cost little to produce and was not found to harm humans. So it was widely used for people and crops. But then it was found that DDT stayed in the environment for many years. It thinned the shells of unborn birds and led to health problems for other animals. So the support for the common use of it was ended. But now again the use of DDT in homes is supported to control malaria, as indoor spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes. DDT presents no health risk when used correctly. But it should be used only inside houses and huts, not outside and not for agriculture use. Malaria sickens five hundred million people and results in more than one million deaths every year. Each day, an estimated three thousand babies and young children die from it. The large majority of deaths are in Africa, south of the Sahara. But critics of DDT argue that DDT is not as effective as people might think. For instance, some African mosquitoes have already developed resistance to it. It seems that DDT should be only one tool among many for insect control.
According to the passage, one advantage of DDT was thought to be its ----.
A) being harmless to humans
B) having no discernible effects on insects
C) debilitating effect on humans
D) staying in the environment for a long while

Soru 48 : Behavioural biologist Jane Atkinson and her colleagues have been studying the subtleties of how crows steal food from one another. Atkinson had been watching the birds at the beach as they fed on fish, clams and other small animals in the intertidal zone. She noticed that if a crow had found a particularly large meal that couldn't be eaten in a single gulp, another crow would often come by and try to steal the food away. Food theft is fairly common in the bird world, so the crows' thievery wasn't unexpected. What really intrigued Atkinson was that the birds employed two different tactics to take the food. In some instances, the thieving bird would take an aggressive approach - typically involving some chasing or physical contact, such as pecking in other ex-changes, however, the thief would use a more passive method: merely approaching the other bird secretively and stealing the food without any commotion at all. What the team wanted to know was: how did these tactics fit into the group foraging practices of the crows?
We understand from the passage that so long as a crow ----.
A) can swallow its food at one gulp, it will encounter no challenge
B) can find food easily, it will not steal from another crow
C) can get food by stealing, it won't look elsewhere for it
D) has eaten well, it is unlikely to try to steal food
E) is able to steal food without fighting, this is the method it will favour
