Soru 1 : More than three-quarters of infants suck their thumbs or fingers through the first year of life. For these children, thumb sucking is an appropriate and useful behaviour that allows them to soothe and entertain themselves. A child usually turns to his thumb when he is tired, upset or bored. It is not unusual for a thumb sucker to simultaneously engage in other behaviours like pulling at a strand of hair, touching an ear, or holding onto a blanket or stuffed toy. Specialists agree that a thumb sucker younger than age five shouldn't be pressured to stop. The majority of children give up such habits on their own before they enter kindergarten. Even when the habit lingers past infancy, thumb sucking is rarely something to be concerned about. It does not indicate that a child has emotional problems or that he will still be sucking his finger when he's a teenager. Nevertheless, about fifteen percent of children will continue thumb sucking past their fifth birthday. This is an age when teasing often starts, causing social difficulties for children once they reach school age.
60. We learn from the passage that ____.
A) some other habits can occur with thumb sucking at the same time
B) after nursery school giving up the bad habits gets difficult
C) such behaviours especially sucking thumb is innate
D) among the seventy-five percent of one year old children sucking thumb isn’t insistent
E) sucking thumb is a suitable and worthwhile habit all children accept

Soru 10 : The 16th century in England is generally known as the Tudor period, which historically lasted from 1485 to 1603. Among the famous Tudor sovereigns were Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I. In fact, the early years of the Tudor period were marked by significant changes in trade and in the arts of war. Henry VII made commercial treaties with European countries. Economically, England, which had always been a sheep-raising country, was by now manufacturing and exporting significant amounts of
cloth. As lands were enclosed to permit grazing on a larger scale, people were driven off the land to the cities, and London grew into a metropolitan market with sophisticated commercial institutions. These changes had an impact on the traditional feudal social order, which also began to decline; also, due to the introduction of cannons and firearms, the feudal system of warfare became obsolete. Yet, it would be a mistake to imagine these changes as sudden and dramatic. In fact, it was a slow and long process whereby England was transformed into a modern state.
It is pointed out in the passage that the changes
that took place in Tudor England ----.
A) were fundamentally inspired by the social and economic developments already being witnessed in Europe
B) had far-reaching effects on social and economic life
C) were mainly confined to social life and improved
the efficiency of the feudal social order
D) initially resulted from a revision of the traditional arts of war that had depended on the use of cannons and firearms
E) greatly reduced all the political and legal powers that English sovereigns had traditionally enjoyed
and used

Soru 16 : In the last third of the 19th century, new Technologies transformed the face of manufacturing in Europe, leading to new levels of economic growth and complex realignments among industry, labour and national governments. Like Europe’s first industrial revolution, which began in the late 18th century and centred on coal, steam and iron, this “second” industrial revolution relied on innovation in three key areas: steel, electricity, and chemicals. For instance, steel, which was harder, stronger and more malleable than iron, had long been used as a construction material. But until the mid-nineteenth century,producing steel cheaply and in large quantities was impossible. That changed between the 1850s and 1870s, as new and different processes for refining and mass-producing alloy steel revolutionized the metallurgical industry. Although iron did not disappear overnight, it was soon eclipsed by soaring steel production. So, steel began to be used for various purposes. In Britain, for example, shipbuilders made a quick and profitable switch to steel construction, and thus kept their lead in the industry. Germany and the US, however, dominated the rest of the steel industry. By 1901, Germany was producing almost half as much steel as Britain and was able to build a massive national and industrial
infrastructure.
One understands from the passage that, before the mid-nineteenth century, ----.
A) steel production had been costly and did not
amount to much quantity
B) the “second” industrial revolution had spread all
over Europe
C) Germany and Britain had been in fierce
competition in developing shipbuilding
technologies
D) Germany and the US collaborated against Britain

Soru 33 : Government planners and social scientists from many countries are developing a number of strategies to help us adapt to global warming. For example, what should people living in coastal areas do? They can move inland away from the dangers of storm surges, although this solution has high economic costs. An alternative plan, which is also extremely expensive, is to build dikes to protect coastal land. The Dutch, who have been doing this sort of thing for several hundred years, have offered their technical expertise to several developing nations threatened by a rise in sea level. We also have to adapt to shifting agricultural zones. Many temperate countries are in the process of evaluating semitropical crops to determine the best ones to substitute for traditional crops if or when the climate warms. Drought-resistant species of trees are being developed by large lumber companies now, because the trees planted today will be harvested many decades later when global warming may already get much worse.
It is stated in the passage that, for our adaptation to global warming, ----.
A) an alternative strategy is that all the coastal areas in the world have to be evacuated so that
the inhabitants can be safe from the dangers of storm surges
B) many scientists and planners are involved in a series of activities that are primarily suitable for
temperate countries
C) not only the Dutch but also governments of many countries have devoted a great deal of hard work
to the development of urgent strategies
D) new agricultural zones suitable for the growth of semitropical crops and also the development of
drought-resistant trees are the only suitable strategies
E) state planners and social scientists of different nationalities are working to develop various

Economies in the developing world are growing at nearly three times the rate of those in the developed world; but perhaps they won't be able to sustain this rate of growth.

But these are arguments about when, not whether, change will happen. And growth rates could increase still further: even the most optimistic predictions underestimated Asia's ability to recover from the financial crisis of 1997.

Soru 39 : In the first half of the 20th century, acid rain – whether natural or unnatural - was a hidden phenomenon. By the 1950s, however, its effects were becoming apparent to scientists in Scandinavia with the loss of fish from mountain lakes. A network of rainwater monitoring stations was set up across Europe, which very soon proved the existence of acid rain as a result of human activities. Acid rain was also charged with killing vast tracts of forest in Germany. The effects of long-range sulphur pollution were looking so worrying that the issue was placed before the world at the UN Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm in 1972. The outcome was that states are now responsible for ensuring that their activities do not damage the environment of other states. This paved the way for the development of programmes for reducing long-range air pollution. The most important of these was the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, attended in 1979 by the world's leading industrial nations.
It is clear from the passage that in Europe, during the first four decades or so of the 20th century, ___ .
A) scientists everywhere were aware of the dangers of pollution, but no one listened to them
B) there was no such thing as acid rain
C) acid rain destroyed large areas of forest land in central Europe
D) there was a certain amount of acid rain but it went undetected

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.
It is clear from the passage that Japan's strategy to keep fuel consumption down ------.
A) depends largely on the high taxation of fuel
B) has been greatly criticized by the public
C) has not been as effective as was originally envisaged
D) has set an example that Europe is now adopting
E) has had no effect upon the country's car production Technologies

Çözüm 48 : Soru kökünde, “Japan's strategy to keep fuel consumption down>Japonya’nın yakıt tüketimini azaltmak için izlediği strateji” ile ilgili tamamlanması gereken bir ifade istenmiştir. Parçaya baktığımızda bununla ilgili olarak “ “Europe and Japan do not use fuel-economy standards to any significant degree, but instead rely principally on high taxes to reduce gas consumption.”ifadelerine ulaşıyoruz. Burada “Japonya’nın belli standartları izlemediği bunun yerine gaz tüketimini azaltmak için yüksek oranda vergi uyguladığı” anlamı verilmektedir. Seçenekler arasında buna yakın olan tek ifade “depends largely on the high taxation of fuel” ifadesidir. Doğru cevap “A” şıkkıdır.
