Soru 1 : An Australian historian proposed that the key to understanding Australia was 'the tyranny of distance'. Australians were far removed from their British ancestors, far from the centres of power in Europe and North America and far from each other -with the major cities separated by distances of some 800 km. Time, however, has broken down that sense of distance. Australians today do not see London or New York as the centre of the world. The proximity to Asian economies like China is an economic strength. Transportation and communications links have taken away the sense of remoteness felt by past generations. However, the tech nolo gy th at tru ly p romi ses to e nd t he tyra nny of distance is high-speed broadband, whose benefits we are still only beginning to understand though it has already been a decade since the frenzied dotcom era. That is why the Australian government is rolling out the world's most ambitious broadband project-a national network that will bring fibre to homes in more than 1,000 cities and towns covering 93% of residences. Next generation wireless and satellite technologies will cover the other 7%. The network will operate at lightning speeds and involve an estimated investment of $40 billion through an independent state-owned enterprise in partnership with the private sector.

Soru 13 : Before the Polish born French-American mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot made his mark on the world, scientists liked to forget about the imperfections and irregularities of nature. The study of perfect squares, triangles and planes had dominated their field for over 2,000 years, since the Greek geometer Euclid wrote maths' oldest treatise 'Elements' and provided us with the tools to measure these flawlessly smooth shapes. Early question about how to measure the real shape of a tree, a coastline or anything with a rough edge could not be tackled by Euclidean geometry and had therefore been ignored. But Mandelbrot changed all this when he invented fractal geometry, which enables us to measure roughness. 'My whole career has been one long, ardent pursuit of the concept of roughness', he says. 'The roughness of clusters in the physics of disorder, of turbulent flows, of exotic noises, of chaotic dynamical systems, of the distribution of galaxies, of coastlines, of stock price charts and of mathematical constructions.'

Soru 31 :

The Renaissance originated in Italy for several

reasons. The most fundamental reason was that Italy

in the later Middle Ages was the most advanced

urban society in all of Europe. Unlike aristocrats north

of the Alps, Italian aristocrats customarily lived in

urban centres rather than in rural castles and

consequently became fully involved in urban public

affairs. Moreover, since the Italian aristocracy built its

palaces in the cities, the aristocratic class was less

sharply set off from the class of rich merchants than

in other European countries. Hence, whereas in

France or Germany most aristocrats lived on the

income from their lands while rich town dwellers,

called bourgeois in French, gained their living from

trade, in Italy so many town-dwelling aristocrats

engaged in banking or mercantile enterprises, and so

many rich mercantile families imitated the manners of

the aristocracy that, by the fourteenth and fifteenth

centuries, the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie

were becoming virtually indistinguishable. For

instance, the noted Florentine family of the Medici,

which had emerged as a family of physicians (as the

name suggests), made its fortune in banking and

commerce, and rose into the aristocracy in the

fifteenth century. Obviously, social mobility as such

brought about a great demand for education in the

skills of reading and counting necessary to become a successful merchant, but the richest and most

prominent families sought above all to find teachers

who would impart to their sons the knowledge and

skills necessary in politics and public life.

 

According to the passage, unlike their French or

German counterparts, ----.

A) medieval Italian aristocrats lived in cities and

mixed with the general public

B) Italian merchants in the Renaissance period

were also engaged in trade north of the Alps

C) distinguished Italian families wished their sons to

become successful merchants

D) the Medici were actively involved in the politics

and diplomatic relations of their time

E) the Italian upper bourgeoisie were strongly

opposed to social mobility

Soru 32 : Superstitions grow out of man's attempts to explain the unknown. When man disproves the old belief, and some still cling to the belief, it becomes a superstition. In Western Europe, prior to 600 B.C., man considered rabbits to be sacred, because of their belief that spirits inhabited the bodies of animals, and also because of their belief that man directly descended from some of these animals. Later, the ancient European Celts adopted portions of the older belief, that rabbits were sacred, and that spirits inhabited their bodies. The Celts, based upon the fact that these animals spent an inordinate amount of time in their underground burrows, held the belief that the rabbits' bodies were inhabited by underground spirits with whom they communicated. Another reason the Celts held the rabbit to be sacred, was because of their prowess in the field of reproduction. Since the rabbit itself was considered to be lucky, it follows that any of its body parts would also be considered lucky. People selected the rabbit's foot for good luck.

Soru 40 : Borborygmi happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and before you know it, borborygmi kicks in. However, hunger really has nothing to do with an empty stomach but, instead, is a product of certain nutrients missing in the blood. Our brains contain a hunger centre, which functions as an accelerator, or as a brake for our stomachs and intestines. Once necessary nutrients are lacking from the blood, the dinner bell is rung, and the stomach and intestines come rumbling. The now active stomach and intestine aren't picky as to what foods will satisfy them, and will grab anything they can. If ever in a situation where borborygmi kicks in, and there is no food in sight, remember to remain calm. The calmer you are, the more slowly your body will metabolize the protein it has stored.

Soru 41 :

The most significant political change in eastern

Europe during the late 1980s was the collapse of

communism in East Germany and the unification of

East and West Germany. Although long considered

the most prosperous of the Soviet satellite countries,

East Germany suffered from severe economic

stagnation and environmental degradation. Waves of

East Germans registered their discontent with

worsening conditions by massive illegal emigration to

the West. This exodus together with evidence of

widespread official corruption led to the resignation of

East Germany’s long-time, hard-line premier, Erich

Honecker. His successor, Egon Krenz, promised

reforms, but he was nevertheless faced with

continuing protests and continuing mass emigration.

In the end, on 4 November 1989, the government, in

a move that acknowledged its powerlessness to hold

its citizens captive, opened its border with

Czechoslovakia. This move effectively freed East

Germans to travel to the West. In a matter of days,

the Berlin Wall, which had been the embodiment of

the Cold War, the Iron Curtain, and the division of

East from West, was demolished by groups of

ordinary citizens. Jubilant crowds from both sides

walked through the gaping holes that now permitted

men, women, and children to take the few steps that

symbolized the return to freedom and a chance for

national unity.

 

  

 It is stressed in the passage that the Berlin Wall ----.

A) had been built by the East German government

in order to prevent any access to West Berlin

B) not only divided East and West, but also, more

importantly, symbolized the Cold War and the

Iron Curtain

C) signified both the powerlessness of Honecker’s

government and the failure of his economic

policies

D) would have been demolished even if East

Germany had retained communism

E) gave rise to a great many ideological

controversies between East and West Germany

Soru 43 :

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will soon be testing a controversial theory about the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. According to an analysis by a loading fire-safety expert, had the fire-proofing insulation on the towers' steel structures been thicker, the towers would have survived longer and might even have remained standing after they were hit by the hijacked planes. The work is being seized on by lawyers representing victims' families and insurance companies. If confirmed, it could also lead to changes in building codes. NIST is responsible for drawing up the final report on the towers' collapses and recommending if any changes are needed. It is widely accepted that the collapses were caused by the failure of the buildings' steel structure as it was weakened by the heat of the fires.

 

 

   As we learn from the passage, a specialist in fire-safety —.

 

      A)     puts the blame for the collapse of the towers on the thin fire-proofing insulation

         B)     is to blame for negligence as regards the burning of the twin towers

         D)     has been commissioned to prepare a report on the collapse of the towers

          E)     should have been aware of the structural

However, one still can not help comparing New York with London, and feel that London matches up to it as there are always things to see and do, and the unexpected often happens. It is an interesting city to walk around; whereas the streets of Manhattan are laid out on a grid pattern, London has a disorganised, self-evolved city plan, mapping out the historical growth of the once huge trading port which is now one of the most important cultural centres of Europe. London doesn’t rely merely on its historical reputation as one of the great European capitals, but has actually improved with age. A positive aspect of living in London is the refreshing freedom from officialdom. The wide variety of entertainment in London proves it to be a city which is young at heart. You can appreciate the cultural opportunities, such as the major art exhibitions, which are far less frequent in other European cities. The green spaces in London, large parks, gardens, tree-lined avenues and birds all introduce a little of the countryside, whereas in New York there is a sharp contrast between city and the country. Most people are impressed by the way the new London – a very up-to-date city – is used to complement the old, and cites the computerised information service at all public places. London has a calmer way of life and less tension than New York or other European capitals, although the city might be regarded as fashionably ‘laid back’ by youngsters. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there are many outsiders who have grown fond of the English capital and have come to value its variety and liveliness, as well as the cheerful friendliness of Londoners.
