Soru 3 : “The Milky Way galaxy belongs to the Local Group, a smaller group of 3 large, and over 30 small galaxies, and is the second largest (after the Andromeda Galaxy M31) but perhaps the most massive member of this group.

Soru 8 : Humans, as do all living organisms, depend on the natural world for vital nutrients, water, and shelter. Yet, humans have a greater capacity to alter their environment than other organisms. Humans have modified their environments since they first began clearing land for agriculture. When populations were small and dispersed, the effect on the environment was limited and local. A larger population and an expanded agricultural and industrial capacity have increased human use of natural resources. The challenge is to meet the human needs of a growing population in ways that minimize costs to natural resources and living things. While advances in science and technology have permitted a deeper understanding of natural processes, uncertainties remain. Decision makers must often weigh the claims of competing interests and values, working with, at best, imperfect knowledge.

D) are dependent on environmental problems

Soru 26 :
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 ----.
A) being harmless to humans
B) having no discernible effects on insects
C) debilitating effect on humans
D) staying in the environment for a long while
E) potential to treat some human diseases
