Soru 11 : Much has been said and written about the declining numbers of and disappointing lack of diversity among American college students majoring in engineering. Among the factors cited to explain this phenomenon are the lack of exposure of high school students to the very idea of engineering and the fact that many have insufficient mathematics and science background to gain entrance to engineering school, even if they do identify the profession as a possible career. This is unfortunate, for the ideas of engineering should be integrated into the curricula not only of high schools but also of middle and primary schools. Our children are being done a disservice by not being exposed properly throughout their education to engineering activities identified as such. After all, even pre-school children have the prerequisites in their play for appreciating exactly what engineering is: design. Indeed, design is everywhere around them throughout their school day, even in their before-school and after-school activities. it need only be pointed out to them that they are designing something, and therefore being engineers of sorts, in virtually everything that they do.
The writer recognizes the fact that engineering -----.
A) is becoming less and less popular as a field of study among university students
B) is only suitable for highly intelligent students
C) is a complicated subject only suitable for really mature students
D) has become one of the most popular fields of study at American universities

Soru 12 : The British have been suffering from sea pollution recently. Over the past ten years, oil spills from tankers have polluted the seas surrounding Britain. As a result, the natural habitat of many sea animals, as well as the beautiful shores, have begun to be damaged. It has become one of the major problems in England and most of the environmentalists say that they need a lot of volunteers if they are to minimise the damage. In future, the government has promised that it will prosecute the owners of any tankers that pollute the North Sea in this way and it will also build more lighthouses along the coastline. However, the threat seems to continue. Apparently, environmentalists should work harder so as to raise public awareness.
According to the passage, environmental protection groups want people to ----.

Soru 41 : A native of New York finds that her home city sets very high standards for other cities to reach. 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.
As it is pointed out in the passage, ................
A) the green in London incorporates the beauty of the countryside into the city
B) there is less bureaucracy in other European capitals than in London.
C) it is hard to decide how to spend leisure time in London as there isn’t much to do
D) London is a comparatively stress-free capital
E) galleries in London don’t show masterpieces very often

Soru 45 : Imagine an industry that runs out of raw materials. Companies go bankrupt, workers are laid off, families suffer and associated organizations are thrown into turmoil. Eventually, governments are forced to take drastic action. Welcome to global banking, recently brought to its knees by the interruption of its lifeblood – the flow of cash. In this case, we seem to have been fortunate. In the nick of time, governments released reserves in order to start cash circulating again. But what if the reserves had not been there? What are we going to do when our supplies of vital materials such as fish, tropical hardwoods, metals like indium and fresh water dry up? We live on a planet with finite resources – that is no surprise to anyone – so why do we have an economic system in which all that matters is growth – more growth means using more resources. When the human population was counted in millions and resources were sparse, people could simply move to new pastures.However, with 9 billion people expected around 2050, moving on is not an option. As politicians reconstruct the global economy, they should take heed. If we are to leave any kind of planet to our children, we need an economic system that lets us live within our means.
According to the passage, the global banking crisis was resolved because governments ----.
A) cooperated closely with the industry
B) sold off large supplies of cash
C) involved the necessary organizations
D) bought new supplies of vital materials
E) acted quickly to find a solution

Soru 50 : We can only guess when Shakespeare wrote his plays. Hem may have had his own writing 'season' perhaps in the quieter winter months, but he never stopped acting probably taking two or three minor parts instead of a major one. He seems to have chosen for himself the more static and undemanding roles in his plays, such as old Adam in As You Like It and the Ghost in Hamlet. His audiences included many habitual playgoers, and many must have known Shakespeare and he must have known them. We can imagine, as a recent biographer has said, 'that there might have been a complex, subtle communicative exchange with he appeared in one of his own plays'. In spring 1613, he purchased his first property in London. He was renting it out by 1616, but may originally have entertained other intentions for the property. It would certainly have been a handy place to stay, being near the Globe, which was his theatre. Perhaps the destruction of the Globe in 1613, which probably prompted him to sell his share in the theatre company, altered his plans for it. He may not have given up acting, but his writing career was over by the end of that year. In 1614, he returned to his hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon, and died there in 1616.
It is pointed out in the passage that, although Shakespeare had stopped writing plays by the end of 1613, ----.
A) it seems likely that he continued to act a little longer
B) he sometimes revised some of his earlier plays
C) he wanted to keep his company intact
D) his company put pressure on him to continue writing
E) he started again on his return to Stratford-upon-Avon
