Soru 10 :

They can spot a small prey from a mile away. They use their beak and their claws to get bugs, worms, small mammals, fish, fruit, grain or nectar. Some birds, like the tiny, nectar-eating hummingbird, are important pollinaters of some flowering plants.”

Soru 18 : Many athletes credit drugs with improving their performance, but some of them may want to thank their brain instead . Mounting evidence suggests that the boost from human growth hormone (HGH), an increasingly popular doping drug, might be caused by the placebo effect . In a new double-blind trial funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency, in which neither researchers nor participants knew who was receiving HGH and who was taking a placebo, the researchers asked participants to guess whether or not they were on the real drug. Then they examined the results of the group who guessed that they were getting HGH when, in fact, they had received a placebo. That group improved at four fitness tests measuring strength, endurance, power and sprint capacity  The study participants who guessed correctly that they were taking a placebo did not improve, according to preliminary results presented at the Society for Endocrinology meeting in June 2011. “The finding really shows the power of the mind”  said Ken Ho, an endocrinologist at the Garvan Institute in Sydney, Australia, who led the study. She maintains that many athletes are reaping the benefits of the placebo effect, without knowing whether what they are taking is beneficial or not .

Soru 20 :

Obesity is associated with a number of health risks, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and several forms of cancer. The increase in prevalence of obesity among children has led to a rise in obesity-related diseases in young populations. Type 2 diabetes, which was originally considered an adult disease, has increased dramatically in children and adolescents. Other health problems related to being overweight, previously seen mostly in adults, have increased among children, including cardiovascular diseases. While the causes of the rapid increase in obesity during the last decade are complex, researchers agree that the major contributing factor is excessive consumption of calories combined with insufficient physical activity. The ready availability of foods with high caloric content combined with the increased amount of time spent in office work, watching television, or playing computer games, is a relatively recent phenomenon.

It is suggested in the passage that the main causes of obesity are ----.

A) computer games and asthma
B) inactivity and eating food too high in calories
C) watching too much television while eating fast food
D) eating at restaurants rather than eating at home and working too much
E) high blood pressure and not being physically active

Cevap 20 : B

Soru 21 :

The climate of the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent land areas are influenced by the temperatures of the surface waters and water currents as well as the winds blowing across the waters. Because of the ocean's great capacity for retaining heat, maritime climates are moderate and free of extreme seasonal variations. Precipitation can be approximated from coastal weather data and air temperature from the water temperatures. The oceans are the major source of the atmospheric moisture that is obtained through evaporation. Climatic zones vary with latitude; the warmest climatic zones stretch across the Atlantic north of the equator. The coldest zones are in the high latitudes, with the coldest regions corresponding to the areas covered by sea ice. Ocean currents contribute to climatic control by transporting warm and cold waters to other regions. Adjacent land areas are affected by the winds that are cooled or warmed when blowing over these currents. The Gulf Stream, for example, warms the atmosphere of the British Isles and north-western Europe, and the cold water currents contribute to heavy fog off the coast of north-eastern Canada north-western coast of Africa. In general, winds tend to transport moisture and warm or cool air over land areas. Hurricanes develop in the southern part of the North Atlantic Ocean. Also, the Atlantic Ocean appears to be the second youngest of the world's oceans, after the Southern Ocean. Evidence indicates that the Atlantic Ocean did not exist prior to 180 million years ago.

      The passage informs us mainly about the ................

A)     climate of the Atlantic Ocean

B)     water characteristics of the Atlantic Ocean

C)     the formation of the currents

D)     the devastating results of the hurricanes

Soru 25 : 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?
Cevap 25 : A
Çözüm 25 : Açıklama Soru köküne dikkat edildiğinde, " the research team was not surprised that the crows were trying to steal from each other common " (araştırma takımının kargaların bir birinden yiyecek çalmalarına şaşırmadıkları) ifadesini görüyoruz.

Soru 28 :

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

Soru 47 : Everybody has been talking about detox recently. What is this detox? Even though for some people detox is a kind of spring cleaning they do at home to their bodies, detox is not a new recovery method or a program that people can employ during the weekend and go back to their normal life again. It is a process that our cells are especially used to and helps our bodies rejuvenate themselves. Just as antibiotics kill bacteria in the body, detox is a system that enables the cells to get the best nourishment and helps in the elimination of toxins from the body. The liver, which is responsible for the removal of the body’s toxins, turns toxins into harmless substances that can be discharged from the body as feces, urine, perspiration, breath, tears and other bodily fluids. These excretion channels should work properly for an effective toxin discharge. If toxins cannot be discharged from the body, they overload the lymph system and can destroy the immune system’s balance.

Çelişki olmadığı gibi bir tarafta konu cep telefonu, diğer tarafta ise internettir. C) "Pazar talebi, en büyük bilgi toplayıcılarının bazılarını korsanlığa sürüklediği için …” cümlesi cep telefonu operatörleri ile ilgili değildir. D) "Akıllı telefon izleme kabiliyetleri daha fazla geliştikçe …” cümlesinde geçen "as” –dıkça, -dikçe anlamı ile iki cümle arasında paralellik sağlamıştır. Seçenekler arasında sadece bu seçenekte cep telefonu ön plana çıkmıştır. İki cümlenin de "present perfect” ile kurulmuş olması (have come / have become) paralelliği vurgulamıştır. E) "Mobil cihazlar yoluyla bankacılık işlemleri neredeyse tamamen güvenli olduğu için …” cümlesi olumludur. Oysa ki yukarıdaki cümle olumsuzdur. Üstelik bankacılık işlemlerinin yukarıdaki cümle ile bağlantısı yoktur.
