Soru 4 :

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 19 : 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.

Soru 30 : 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.

Soru 45 :

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.

The reading passage mainly discusses ----.

 

A)    the historical background of superstitions

B)    the psychological motives behind superstitions

C)    the history of a particular superstition

D)    the superstitions in ancient Europe

E)    the rabbit’s foot and its relationship with another superstition
