Soru 19 : Farmers in many countries utilize antibiotics in two key ways: at full strength to treat animals that are sick and in low doses to fatten meat- producing livestock or to prevent veterinary illnesses. Although even the proper use of antibiotics can inadvertently lead to the spread of drug resistant bacteria, the habit of using a low dose is a formula for disaster: the treatment provides just enough antibiotic to kill some but not all bacteria. The germs that survive are typically those that happen to bear genetic mutations for resisting the antibiotic. They then reproduce and exchange genes with other microbial resisters. As bacteria are found literally everywhere, resistant strains produced in animals eventually find their way into people as well. You could not design a better system for guaranteeing the spread of antibiotic resistance. To cease the spread, Denmark enforced tighter rules on the use of antibiotics in the raising of poultry and other farm animals. The lesson is that improving animal husbandry – making sure that pens, stalls and cages are properly cleaned and giving animals more room or time to mature – offsets the initial negative impact of limiting antibiotic use.
It is stated in the passage that antibiotics ----.A) are crucial as they change the genetic mutations of poultryB) form the basis for microbial resistance of genes in animalsC) are effective in restricting resistant strains of bacteria in poultryD) are employed to prevent a possible disease spread from farm animals to human beingsE) may produce drug resistant bacteria, irrespective of how carefully they are used

Soru 28 : If one or more of the four heart valves are diseased or damaged it can affect the flow of blood in two ways. If the valve does not open fully, it obstructs the flow of blood - known as valve stenosis. If the valve does not close properly, it will allow blood to leak backwards - called valve incompetence or valve regurgitation. Both stenosis, a narrowing which makes the heart pump faster to get blood past the obstruction, and incompetence, which means the heart has to do more to pump the required volume of blood forwards, put extra strain on the heart. The blood behind the affected valve will also be under increased pressure, called back pressure, leading to a build-up of fluid in the lungs or lower part of the body, depending on the valve affected. Symptoms include tiredness or breathlessness when exercising, swelling of the ankles and legs, dizziness or fainting in extreme cases. Angina - chest pain - can occur. Heart valve disease can be caused by being born with one or more abnormal valves, called congenital heart disease. Disease can also be the result of rheumatic fever, now uncommon in the UK, or ageing of the heart, if valves thicken. Drugs, including diuretics, ACE inhibitors and dioxin, can be used to treat valvular heart disease, but if the obstruction or leaking of the valves is too severe, medicines may not be enough and surgery may be required. The danger varies for individual patients depending on factors such as age and other medical conditions.
It is made clear in the passage that ____.
A) valvular stenosis is a condition in which blood leaks back in the wrong direction
B) heart valves control blood flow through the one chamber of the heart
C) valve stenosis may involve backward leakage of blood
D) the less the narrowing or leakage becomes, the harder the heart has to work
E) stenosis and regurgitation may affect the same valve

Soru 36 : For two decades after World War II, mass production reigned supreme. Mass production techniques pushed companies into standardized products, long product life cycles, and rigid manufacturing, emphasizing efficiency and low cost over flexibility. Special orders cost more. But today's consumers are very choosy. They want quality, value and products specially tailored to their needs, but always at the lowest possible price. For now mass customization has come to the fore. Mass customization uses information technology to produce and deliver products and services designed to fit the specifications of individual customers. Companies can customize products in quantities as small as one with the same speed and low cost as mass production methods. Mass customization systems use information taken from the customer to control the flow of goods.
We learn from the passage that mass production -----.
A) has now regained its previous popularity
B) was the leading method of production in the twenty years or so that followed World War II

Soru 46 : Women seem to be particularly vulnerable to depression during their reproductive years: Rates of the disorder are highest in females between the ages of 25 and 45. New data indicate that the incidence of depression in females rises after giving birth. In 2007 Patricia Dietz reported that 10.4% of 4,398 mothers had been depressed in the nine months following childbirth compared with 8.7% in the nine months before pregnancy and 6.9% during pregnancy. More than half of the women with post natal depression had also been depressed during or before pregnancy suggesting that a previous occurrence of depression may be the biggest risk factor for acquiring the illness postpartum depression. But the hormonal changes that occur in a new mother's body are also thought to contribute to postpartum depression. During pregnancy, a woman experiences a surge in blood levels of oestrogen and progesterone. Then, in the first 48 hours after childbirth, the amount of these two hormones falls suddenly, almost back to normal levels. This chemical instability could contribute to depression. Of course, hormonal flux does not fully explain postpartum depression. After all, this biochemical fluctuation occurs in all new mothers and yet only a relatively small proportion of them become depressed.
As pointed out in the passage, besides biological factors, another factor suggested for the emergence of postpartum depression is —.
A) chemical instability after pregnancy
B) a surge and flux in blood levels
C) a previous experience of depression
D) a 50-fold drop of oestrogen and progesterone
E) hormonal changes in the mother's body

Soru 48 : Europe and Japan do not use fuel-economy standards to any significant degree, but instead rely principally on high taxes to reduce gas consumption. Their average tax is more than $2 per gallon, while in the US, federal gas taxes are only 18¢ per gallon and average state taxes 22¢ per gallon. Higher prices at the pump resulting from higher taxes increase consumer demand for cars with better fuel economy. They also encourage consumers to reduce their driving. Research shows that federal taxes on gasoline would have to increase by a bit less than 50¢ per gallon to cut gasoline consumption in the US. Although a 50¢ increase is a lot compared with the present average total tax of 40¢, it would raise retail gas prices to only a little more than $2 per gallon, tax included. This is far below prices in Europe and Japan. Even if federal taxes on gas were doubled, US retail gas prices would still be much below those in other developed nations.

Çözüm 48 : Soru kökünde, “yakıt için uygulanan yüksek vergilerin bir etkisi” sorgulanmaktadır. Parçaya baktığımızda bununla ilgili olarak “Higher prices at the pump resulting from higher taxes increase consumer demand for cars with better fuel economy.” ifadesine ulaşıyoruz.

Cevap 49 : C
Çözüm 49 : “Varşova müzeler ve tarihi yerler açısından zengindir.” Bu yargının dayandırılacağı yan fikir ne olabilir ? C şıkkında verilen “2.Dünya Savaşında müzelerin çoğu zarar görmesine rağmen” ifadesi anlam olarak ana cümleciği tamamlamaktadır.
İPUÇLARI : “most of them= museums and historic sights”
“although” bağlacı ayrıca zıtlık verir.Bununla başlayan yan cümlecik olumsuz anlam taşıması,ana cümleciğin ise buna karşın olumlu olması “complex sentence” yapısını oluşturmaktadır.Ayrıca verilen “rich” ile “demaged” sıfatları bir zıtlık verdiği için bir ipucu sayılabilir.
