Soru 1 : One of the greatest natural catastrophes the world will ever see could be little more than a decade away. The film Super volcano traces the evolution of an enormous volcanic eruption - one that not only wipes out several states of America but that threatens the entire planet. But is such an eruption really possible? Well, super volcanoes certainly aren't fiction. They're a normal part of the way the Earth works and occur perhaps every 50,000 years. Every statistic associated with a super-eruption is always wildly over-exaggerated. Molten magma is blasted out at a rate 140 times greater than the flow of water over the Victoria Falls. Ash and gas are thrown more than 50km upwards to the edge of space before falling over one percent of the Earth's surface. Enough ash would pile up on the ground to bury Britain under a blanket 4m thick. Further, devastating winds carrying burning gas and red hot ash would scour the land surface over an area of 10,000 square kilometres. Worst of all, a super-eruption is followed by a dramatic fall in global temperatures, leading to years and years of bitter cold known as a volcanic winter.

Soru 13 :

It may be that golf originated in Holland but certainly Scotland fostered the game and is famous for it. In fact, in 1457 the Scottish Parliament, disturbed because football and golf had lured young Scots from the more soldierly exercise of archery, passed an ordinance that banned football and golf. James I and Charles I of the royal line of Stuarts were golf enthusiasts, whereby the game came to be known as 'the royal and ancient game of golf'. The golf bails used in the early games were leather-covered and stuffed with feathers. Clubs of all kinds were fashioned by hand to suit individual players. The great stop in spreading the game came with the change from the feather ball to the present-day ball introduced in about 1850. In 1860, formal competitions began with the establishment of an annual tournament for the British Open championship. There are records of 'golf clubs' in the United States as far back as colonial days. However, it remained a rather sedate and almost aristocratic pastime until a 20-year-old Francis Quimet of Boston defeated two great British professionals, Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, in the United States Open championship at Brookline, Mass., in 1913. This feat put the game and Francis Quimet on the front pages of the newspapers and stirred a wave of enthusiasm for the sport.

 

  

    The point is made in the passage that golf has been described as a 'royal' game —.

 

         A)     though for the last two centuries no kings have participated in the game

         B)     since the professionals of the game are treated with so much respect

         C)     as golf clubs are particular about who they accept as members

         D)     because two British kings were passionately fond of it

         E)      which Americans find very annoying

Soru 15 :

The Copernican revolution began over 500 years ago with the realization that the Earth was not the centre

of the universe, but we still await its grand finale: the anticipated discovery of life elsewhere. Where else

might we find life? The vast scale of the universe makes it virtually certain that there are other Earthlike

settings. In our own solar system, Mars’s distance from the Sun makes it sufficiently Earth-like;

so, especially with increasing evidence for occasional liquid water, many are looking there for the first signs

of extraterrestrial life. Recently, however, a new contender has emerged, and surprisingly it is from

the cold outer solar system: it is Jupiter’s moon Europa. As one of the four satellites of Jupiter,

discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is now believed to have water in a liquid state, even though

it is so far from the Sun. Thus, the possibility of liquid water on Europa has opened the door to speculation

about life on this satellite of Jupiter.

 According to the passage, the discovery of Earthlike settings in other parts of the universe ----.

A) is definitely out of question, since the universe is

extremely vast

B) would no longer make the Earth seem like the

only planet with life on it

C) seems possible, but it would be very costly and

dangerous to attempt it

D) has been an obsession for scientists ever since

the time of Copernicus

E) was what Galileo was primarily interested in in

the early seventeenth century

Soru 18 :

       The habit of thinking about the past as divided into water-tight periods is especially dangerous when it comes to economic and social history. Actually ‘periods’ usually have as their names imply, a purely political connotation ‘the Tudor age’ or ‘the age of Louis XIV’ .........

A)    This system, which originated in late medieval times, only blossomed in modern times

B)    The characteristics of one age thus invariably overlap into the next

C)    But economic and social life takes little heed of the deaths of kings or the accession of new dynasties

Soru 49 : 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.
