Soru 3 : Reading presents a real paradox to neurobiologists. It was only invented a few thousand years ago, so there really has not been enough time for our brain to evolve specialized ways to do it. How do brain circuits produced by millions of years of evolution in a world without written words adapt to the specific challenges of reading? We know we have to learn the skill but how does our brain learn to read? In the social sciences, the majority of researchers do not see a problem. There is a widespread view that the brain is a completely adaptable organ, capable of absorbing any form of culture. Yet recent findings from brain imaging studies and neurophysiology throw new light on the organization of the reading circuits in the brain. The findings contradict this simplistic model of a brain that merely absorbs everything from its cultural environment. And they suggest that the architecture of our brain is limited by strong genetic constraints though it seems that it has still some degree of flexibility.
The writer is intrigued by the fact that the brain, which evolved long before the written word came into use,-----.
A) had already had the genetic capacity to form words
B) had been able to communicate through images
C) had already developed certain reading circuits
D) managed to adapt itself to the very distinct skill of reading
E) had already achieved full flexibility to adapt itself to new forms of culture
Cevap 3 : D
Çözüm 3 : Açıklama Soru köküne dikkat edildiğinde, " The writer is intrigued by the fact that the brain, which evolved long before the written word came into use.. " (yazarın, yazı kullanılmadan çok önce evrim gösteren beynin... olmasını anlayamadığı …) sorulmaktadır. Bu da parçada “How do brain circuits produced by millions of years of evolution in a world without written words adapt to the specific challenges of reading " şeklinde verilmiştir. Bunları anlam ve “tense” uyumu açısından en iyi tamamlayacak olan yapının “managed to adapt itself to the very distinct skill of reading” olduğunu görüyoruz. Buradan yola çıkarak “D” şıkkının doğru olduğunu buluyoruz.

Soru 16 :
As with all revolutions, the causes of the American Revolution which separated the original thirteen American colonies from Great Britain were social, economic and political and so inextricably interwoven that it is difficult to appraise them. First there was the distance from Great Britain and the environment of a new country which, whether they willed it or not, had gradually over a period of 150 years turned Englishmen into Americans. The older stock was largely English but the bulk of them, as a contemporary historian commented, “knew little of the mother country, having only heard of her as a distant kingdom, the rulers of which had in the preceding century persecuted and banished their ancestors to the woods of America”. With each generation and each move westward old contacts were broken. Furthermore, large groups of colonists had come from Germany, Ireland and other parts of Europe and had no ties with England and, in the case of the Irish, no affection.
The writer makes the point that it is very hard to -----.
A) assess the separate causes of the American Revolution because they are so complex
B) justify the American Revolution historically
C) relate the American Revolution to the economic circumstances of the time
D) account for the political causes of the American Revolution

Soru 18 :
In 1939 the Second World War began to take form. There was heated argument during this time over whether the United States should explore the idea of an atomic bomb. Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt warning him of the disaster that could occur if the Nazi's developed it first. Einstein did not participate in the development of the bomb, but the idea did stem from his equation E=mc2. Just as he knew that the bomb was under development, he also knew when it was going to be used. Just before the bomb was dropped on Japan. Einstein wrote a letter to the new President Harry Truman begging him not to use this terrible weapon. The rest of Einstein's life was dedicated to promoting peace. After the war ended, he declared, 'The war is won, but the peace is not.' He wrote many articles and made many speeches calling for a world government. His fame, at this point, was legendary. People from all over would write to him for advice, and he would often answer them. He also continued his scientific research until the day he died. This was on April 18, 1955. There is no doubt that he was dissatisfied that he never was able to find the true meaning of existence that he strove for all his life.

A) the decision to use the atomic bomb was made by President Roosevelt

Soru 39 : Extensive scientific testing on dogs supports the conclusion that they live in a colorless world. Similar tests conducted on cats produced similar results, which led scientists to conclude that they, too, are colorblind and live in a gray world. The inability of most animals to see colors, from an evolutionary standpoint, is quite simple to understand. Many colorblind animals have dull-colored coats, hunt for food in the dark of night, or graze in the dim twilight hours. Their other senses have developed to the point where the lack of color vision in no way impairs them. For them, life in a colorless world is neither a handicap, nor a threat to their survival. For example, the dog’s keen sense of smell compensates for his inability to see colors, and enables him to differentiate between things. The only animals, other than man, scientists can conclusively say have color vision are monkeys and apes. They are not sure of anything else yet.
The author states that monkeys and humans --__.
A) enable each other to differentiate between things
B) are similar in that they can both see colors
C) both graze in the dim twilight hours
D) both have a keen sense of smell
