Soru 16 : 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.
The main point made in the passage is that ----.
A) industries need to look carefully at the raw materials used
B) the economic system currently in place must be rethought
C) population explosion is one of the greatest threats to mankind as it requires more planning
D) all governments should have a responsibility to help out in times of crisis

Soru 26 : Bruxism is the term for grinding or clenching your teeth. It comes from the Greek word 'brychein' (say: bry-ken), which means to grind the teeth. Bruxism can happen during the day, but it usually happens when you are asleep. Most of the times you don't even know you're doing it! It can happen to kids who still have all their baby teeth or kids whose permanent teeth are starting to grow in. Dentists don't know for sure why some people grind their teeth, but they think it may have something to do with a person's bite - which means the way the top and bottom teeth fit together. Stress also may be behind bruxism. Have you ever worried about a test at school, something a bully said to you, or moving to a new town? Your body can react to these nervous feelings and fears in different ways, like grinding or clenching your teeth. Many kids gnash their teeth at some time or another. Most of the time, it doesn't cause any pain or damage to your teeth. But if you share a room, you could drive your brother or sister nuts with the sound! In serious cases, night time grinding can wear down tooth enamel (the hard covering on your teeth) and cause jaw problems and pain. But these problems usually happen to grown-ups.
One may infer from the passage that ____.
A) stress is the main reason of bruxism
B) some harms of bruxism can be seen more in adults
C) gnashing gives vital damages to teeth
D) the reasons of clenching teeth are described certainly
E) the degree of clenching teeth increases in advanced ages

Soru 35 : 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 suggested in the passage that, in several decades, ----.
A) government planners and social scientists will see their planning efforts rewarded
B) most developing countries can experience a severe decline in their agricultural production
C) most coastal areas may be flooded unless they are protected by dikes
D) the effects of global warming may be much more adverse

Soru 40 : The climate of the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent land areas are influenced by the temperatures of the surface waters and water currents as well as the winds blowing across the waters. Because of the ocean's great capacity for retaining heat, maritime climates are moderate and free of extreme seasonal variations. Precipitation can be approximated from coastal weather data and air temperature from the water temperatures. The oceans are the major source of the atmospheric moisture that is obtained through evaporation. Climatic zones vary with latitude; the warmest climatic zones stretch across the Atlantic north of the equator. The coldest zones are in the high latitudes, with the coldest regions corresponding to the areas covered by sea ice. Ocean currents contribute to climatic control by transporting warm and cold waters to other regions. Adjacent land areas are affected by the winds that are cooled or warmed when blowing over these currents. The Gulf Stream, for example, warms the atmosphere of the British Isles and north-western Europe, and the cold water currents contribute to heavy fog off the coast of north-eastern Canada north-western coast of Africa. In general, winds tend to transport moisture and warm or cool air over land areas. Hurricanes develop in the southern part of the North Atlantic Ocean. Also, the Atlantic Ocean appears to be the second youngest of the world's oceans, after the Southern Ocean. Evidence indicates that the Atlantic Ocean did not exist prior to 180 million years ago.
According to the passage, when the climate of the Atlantic Ocean is concerned, ................
A) the deep waters have little influence over it
B) the water currents do not affect the climate as much as the other factors
C) the winds increase the temperature more than the surface waters
D) ocean climate hardly affects the adjacent land areas
E) the surface waters are the least important factors affecting the climate
