Soru 1 : Smallpox (also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera) was a highly contagious viral disease unique to humans. It is caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. V. major is the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20–40 percent of those infected. The other type, V. minor, only kills 1% of its victims. Many survivors are left blind in one or both eyes from corneal ulcerations, and persistent skin scarring—pockmarks—is nearly universal. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths in the 20th century. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. After successful vaccination campaigns, in 1979 the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox, though cultures of the virus are kept by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and at the Institute of Virus Preparations in Siberia, Russia.

Soru 3 :

Pop music, perhaps due to its increasing commercialisation, is often criticized for being entertaining while lacking serious musical value and artistic significance. This is typically attributed by critics to record companies' financial gains being placed above artistic considerations, by hand-picking the artists and songs that will have a broad appeal and maximum profits. Sometimes, in the case of the British pop group Hear'Say, for example,  young and fashionable people who have little or no prior knowledge of the music industry are transformed into a band that sells music and related merchandise to a preteen or teenage audience. A consequence of this increasingly common commercialisation is that genres which attain credibility as styles in their own right are often considered ‘independent’ instead of 'pop'. Those musicians, as well as their fans, sometimes strive to separate themselves from the commercial aspect of current pop music.

It is clearly stated in the passage that according to critics, pop music ----.

 

A)    has a shortage of creativity and intellectual stimulation other kinds of music have

B)    is a favourite among teens and college students

C)   financially benefits record companies, not musicians

D)   is carefully selected by radio stations to produce the maximum listening pleasure

E)    has become so commercialised that fans won’t buy music anymore

Soru 5 :

Maintaining a library used to be the privilege of princes, the wealthy, monasteries and other religious institutions, and universities. The growth of a public library system in the United States started in the late 19th century and was much helped by donations from Andrew Carnegie. This reflected classes in a society. The poor or the middle class had to share most books through a public library or by other means while the rich could afford to have a private library built into their homes. The advent of paperback books in the 20th century led to an explosion of popular publishing. Paperback books made owning books affordable for many people. As a result of the low cost of such books and the spread of bookstores, owning a private library ceased to be a status symbol for the rich.

It is pointed out in the passage that libraries ----.

 

A)    have always been of a public nature

B)   were once primarily institutions for the rich, educated and religious

C)   have declined in popularity due to bookstores and online sales

D)   were originally public institutions, but were made private by the advent of paperbacks

E)    have never been about class status, just the love of reading

Soru 17 :

In the 1940s DDT was found to be an excellent way to control insects.  It cost little to produce and was not found to harm humans.  So it was widely used for people and crops. But then it was found that DDT stayed in the environment for many years.  It thinned the shells of unborn birds and led to health problems for other animals. So the support for the common use of it was ended. But now again the use of DDT in homes is supported to control malaria, as indoor spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes.  DDT presents no health risk when used correctly. But it should be used only inside houses and huts, not outside and not for agriculture use.  Malaria sickens five hundred million people and results in more than one million deaths every year.  Each day, an estimated three thousand babies and young children die from it.  The large majority of deaths are in Africa, south of the Sahara.  But critics of DDT argue that DDT is not as effective as people might think.  For instance, some African mosquitoes have already developed resistance to it. It seems that DDT should be only one tool among many for insect control.  

According to the passage, one advantage of DDT was thought to be its ----.

It is stated that DDT lost popularity --.

 

A)   because it could not control insects

B)   since it became too expensive

C)  due to its harmful effects on a variety of animals

D)   because it controlled malaria

White Castle opened its doors in 1921,  and the franchise set out to make a better name for the hamburger in a time when the ground meat patty had a bad name in popular culture. Ahead of its time,  White Castle also allowed people to see their food being made,  a first at the time. Franchising was introduced the same year when A&W Root Beer franchised its popular syrup. Combining these factors with Howard Johnson franchising its first restaurant in the 1930s,  the stage was set for the takeoff of the industry. McDonald's opened its doors in 1948,  instilling the first assembly-line-style restaurant,  and from there,  the fast food industry grew steadily for decades.Burger King and Taco Bell opened their doors in the 1950s,  and Wendy's followed in 1969. Drive-through windows took off at fast food chains with the advent of speaker systems in the 1950s. By 2005,  the fast food industry had sales totalling over $163.5 billion worldwide. McDonald's,  as of 2014,  has over 30, 000 franchised restaurants in 120 countries.With its success,  the fast food industry has come under much scrutiny for selling unhealthy foods,  marketing extensively and aggressively to children,  and undermining local cultures and values in different parts of the world.

Soru 49 :

Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with ending the French Revolution and,  with the establishment of a stable government,  bringing security and equality to France. He introduced a system of meritocracy to replace the older system that privileged inheritance and status. Napoleon also introduced the Napoleonic Code to the world. He based it off of Justinian's Code,  or Roman law. The Napoleonic Code separated civil law into personal status,  property and the acquisition of property,  ensuring that every French citizen would have an equal chance to gain wealth and status. The Code was massively influential and became the basis for most European countries' governments. During his reign of power,  Napoleon created the Bank of France to support France's faltering economy and provide his military campaigns with financial support. He used his personal wealth to back the money. He also later signed the Concordat with the Pope,  recognizing Catholicism as the state religion,  but also providing religious freedom to French citizens.

 3.   From this passage,  we get the impression that Napoleon ____.

A)  managed some important reforms in France

B)  overlooked the fact that he was a great general

C)  paid more attention to his achievements

D) made fun of both disorder and discontent       

E)  praised his dictatorship of the political right wing

Soru 50 : Snakes are full of bones, from their sectioned backbones, to which are attached from one to 145 pairs of ribs, to the ball and joint sockets, which attach the many sections of backbone together, and allow them to contort themselves. The tips of the one to 145 pairs of ribs in the snakes deceiving body are conveniently attached by muscles to each of the scales, which cover the entire belly. This attachment allows the snake foot-like movement each time he moves one of these scales, and, thus, precludes the need for feet. The snake may be a descendent of the footed lizard, and, if this is the case, its legs gradually disappeared through the evolutionary process, because they became unnecessary to its movement. Snakes employ several methods of movement in getting from place to place. These include 'rectilinear movement,' the 'concertina' method, and the 'side winding' method. All of these methods of movement are just fancy ways of saying that the snake gets around just fine without legs, and that it adapts its method of movement to suit its needs in the environment in which it lives.
