YDS DENEMELER
The first question to ask about fiction is: Why bother
to read it? With life as short as it is, with so many
pressing demands on our time, with books of
information, instruction and discussion waiting to be
read, why should we spend precious time on works
of fiction? The eternal answers to this question are
two: enjoyment and understanding. Since the
invention of language, men have taken pleasure in
following and participating in the imaginary
adventures and imaginary experiences of imaginary
people. Whatever serves to make life less tedious,
to make the hours pass more quickly and
pleasurably, surely needs nothing else to
recommend it. Enjoyment is the first aim and
justification of reading fiction.
1.) One point emphasized in the passage is that ---.
A) life, since it is short, shouldnt be wasted in trivial
reading
B) informative books, as opposed to fiction, are
what one should read
C) non-fictional books are the only ones worth
reading

distorted
2. )According to the passage, fiction has, from
very early times, ----.
A) always been regarded as superior to other kinds
of writing
B) usually been limited to the description of human
adventures
C) been regarded as harmful to the development of
man
D) been a reliable source for the instruction of man
E) had a great appeal for man
3.) In the passage, books ----.
A) that deal with imaginary situations are considered
to be a waste of time
B) that give us information are regarded as the best
kind
C) are divided into two main kinds: fictional and nonfictional
D) that deal with human experiences are classed as
books of instruction
E) are regarded merely as a means to make time
pass enjoyably

Space camps are a response to the rapidly


expanding discovery of space and to the fascination
with the unknown which is such a deeply ingrained
aspect of human nature. The birth of the space
camp project, designed to educate young people
about space, goes back to the year 1982. With the
support of NASA, the camps aim to teach young
people about the latest space technology and
sciences in an entertaining atmosphere. They are
Americas most popular educational centres. Dr
Werner von Braun, the scientist celebrated as the
father of the Saturn V rocket, which carried the first
manned flight to the moon, was the first person to
put forward the idea of space camps.
4.) We understand from the passage that the
main reason why space camps are set up is to ---.
A) help improve NASAs injured public image
B) promote the scientific activities undertaken by
NASA
C) encourage young people to consider making a
career for themselves in space sciences
D) spread among young people Dr Werner von
Brauns theories concerning space

C) was actually little known until the first
moonlanding
D) had been working for NASA since the early
1980s
E) had always stressed that the education of young
people should have a practical approach

Roses are the oldest source of perfume. Ancient


documents mention rose oil, which is the strongest
form of this scent, and in The Iliad Homer relates
how Aphrodite rubbed Hectors dead body with rose
oil. What was meant by rose oil in these texts was
not what we mean by this term today, since we
learn from Hippocrates that it was obtained by
stirring rose petals into hot olive oil. The method of
extracting essential oil of roses was not discovered
until much later. The most delightful story told of the
discovery of the essential oil relates to the Emperor
Jihangir (1569-1627) who is said to have had
distilled rose water poured into channels in the
extensive garden of his palace so that the air was
filled with this beautiful scent.
7. )We learn from the passage that rose oil ----.

thatmentioned in early texts

rose petals into hot olive oil

E) only became popular in the time of the Emperor
Jihangir
8.) Its clear from the passage that the Emperor
Jihangir ----.

of rose oil

water
C) extended his garden so that more roses could be

scent
9. )It is clear from the passage that the use of
rose oil ----.
A) began with the Emperor Jihangir
B) was first introduced by Aphrodite
C) was originally reserved for the dead
D) goes back to mythological times and stories of
gods and goddesses
E) was restricted to the wealthy and the powerful

Laughters social role is definitely important. Todays


children may be heading for a whole lot of social ills
because their play and leisure time is so isolated
and they lose out on lots of chances for laughter.
When children stare at computer screens, rather
than laughing with each other,they get so involved
that they forget to laugh at all; this is contrary to
whats natural for them. Natural social behaviour in
children is playful behaviour, and in such situations
laughter indicates that make-believe aggression is
just fun, not serious. This is an important way in
which children form positive emotional ties, gain
new social skills and generally start to move from
childhood to adulthood. Parents need to be very
careful to ensure that their children play in groups
and laugh more.
10. )The passage emphasizes the point that ----.
A) children need to take part in group activities
B) children seem to have grown more aggressive
since the computer entered their lives
C) the computer helps speed up a childs emotional
development
D) computer games have a beneficial effect on
social behaviour
E) laughter does not often have a social role
11.) As we learn from the passage, one of the
drawbacks of computers for children is that ----.
A) there is almost no difference between leisure
time and school time
B) children get no pleasure out of their computers
C) a great deal of time is wasted
D) computers tend to make children isolated and
less sociable
E) they make the activities of children and adults too
much alike
12.) According to the passage, children need to
laugh ----.
A) otherwise they will become ill-balanced adults
and isolate themselves from others
B) especially when they are not involved in group
activities
C) and computer games can provide the opportunity
D) and usually manage to do so even when they are
being really aggressive
E) because this helps them to form relationships
with others and grow up emotionally

On the third day of the new year newspapers began


to report that strange things were starting to happen
in the heavens, and everyone grew excited. A
Planetary Collision, one London paper headed the
news, and proclaimed that a strange new planet
would probably collide with Neptune. The leader
writers of various other newspapers enlarged upon
the topic. As a result, in most of the capitals of the
world, on January 3rd, there was an expectation,
however vague, of some approaching phenomenon
in the sky; and as the night followed the sunset
round the globe, thousands of people turned their
eyes skyward to see, contrary to what they had
expected, nothing more exciting than the old familiar
stars just as they had always been.
13. )As it is clear from the passage, all that
anyone saw on the night of January 3rd was ----.
A) the familiar stars shining with extraordinary
brightness
B) the collision of Neptune with a new planet
C) the usual night sky
D) an unknown planet passing close to Neptune
E) what they interpreted as the birth of a new planet

14. )We understand from the passage that there


was a great deal of excitement everywhere ----.
A) because an unknown planet had been detected
from various parts of the world
B) as soon as the new planet approached Neptune
C) even before the planetary collision took place
D) when newspapers announced that a collision of
two planets was to be expected
E) as many phenomena had been observed in the
skies on January 3rd
15. )One can conclude from the passage that the
whole affair of planets colliding ----.
A) aroused little interest among the people in the
world
B) was based on scientific facts and observations
C) was all imaginary, and made up by the
newspapers
D) was apparently only of interest to the
newspapers
E) was the reason why so many people panicked

Hector Hugh Munro was born in Burma, the son of a


police inspector-general. His mother died when he
was two, and he was sent home to Scotland to live
with relatives. His formal education ended with
grammar school, but his father tutored him on
extensive travels. In 1893, his father got him a post
with the Burma police, but his delicate health forced
his return to Britain. There he took up a career in
writing, and it was while doing political sketches for
The Westminster Gazette that he adopted the
penname of Saki. After serving for a time as a
foreign correspondent for The Morning Post, he
returned to London to devote himself to the writing
of stories and novels. When World War I began, he
enlisted as an ordinary soldier in the army and was
unfortunately killed in action in 1916.

16. )We understand from the passage that


Munros father ----.

C) travelled very little, but read extensively
D) enjoyed exceptionally good health
E) served, for some time as a policeman
Eveline sat at the window watching the evening
invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against
the window curtains. She was tired. She had
consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that
wise? She tried to weigh each side of the question.
In her home anyway she had shelter and food; she
had those whom she had known all her life about
her. Of course she had to work hard, both in the
house and at business. What would they say of her
in the shop when they found out that she had run
away with a man? They would say she was a fool,
perhaps; and her place would be filled up by an
advertisement.
19. )We understand from the passage that
Eveline ----.
A) was wondering whether she had made the right
decision in deciding to run away with herboyfriend
B) was waiting excitedly by the window for her
boyfriend

C) what the gossip about her would be
D) where she would be able to find a job
E) how hard she would have to work to make a
living
Producing food costs the earth dearly. First of all, to
grow food, we clear land which always incurs losses
of native ecosystems and wildlife. Then we plant
crops or graze animals on the land. The soil loses
nutrients as each crop is taken from it, so fertilizer is
applied. Some fertilizer runs off, polluting the
waterways. Some plowed soil runs off, which clouds
the waterways and interferes with the growth of
aquatic plants and animals. To protect crops against
weeds and pests, we apply herbicides and
pesticides. These chemicals also pollute the water
and, wherever the wind carries them, the air. Most
herbicides and pesticides kill not only weeds and
pests, but also native insects, and animals that eat
those plants and insects.
22. )The main point made in the passage is that ---.
A) we damage land in various ways in our efforts to
grow crops for food
B) it is possible to grow plenty of food without using
any fertilizers
C) the pollution caused by herbicides and
pesticides can easily be overcome
D) aquatic plants and animals are the ones that
suffer most from the use of chemicals
E) ecosystems worldwide are being seriously
threatened with extinction
23. )The author points out in the passage that
the chemicals we use to grow food ----.

24. )It is pointed out in the passage that
fertilizers are used ----.
A) only when the crops are overgrown by weeds
B) since they help to restore ecosystems
C) because they have almost no ill effect upon the
environment
D) to replace the nutrients that crops have taken out
of the soil
E) to protect crops from pests

The invention of the printing press during the
Renaissance, together with improved methods of
manufacturing paper, made possible the rapid
spread of knowledge. In 1476, William Caxton set
up England.s first printing press at Westminster, a
part
of London. By 1640, that press and others had
printed more than 26,000 different works and
editions. With the printing press and the increased
availability of books, literacy increased. It is
estimated that by 1530 more than half the
population
of England was literate.
1. )We understand from the passage that paper
production methods ----.
A) had, prior to the introduction of the printing
press, been relatively poor
B) had, for many years, been a serious concern for
Caxton

C) a remarkable variety of books became available
in England
D) England.s population nearly doubled

Narrowly defined, fitness refers to the characteristics


that enable the body to perform physical activity.
These characteristics include flexibility of the joints,
strength and endurance of the muscles, including
the heart muscle, and a healthy body composition.
A broader definition of fitness is the ability to meet
routine physical demands with enough reserve
energy to rise to a sudden challenge. This definition
shows how fitness relates to everyday life. Ordinary
tasks such as carrying heavy suitcases, opening a
stuck window, or climbing four flights of stairs, which
might strain an unfit person, are easy for a fit
person. Still another definition is the bodys ability to
withstand stress, meaning both physical and
psychological stresses. These definitions do not
contradict each other; all three describe the same
wonderful condition of the body.
4.) According to the passage, for people who are
not fit, ----.
A) psychological depression is more or less
inevitable
B) the carrying out of various apparently ordinary
tasks can be rather difficult
C) the first thing to consider is a better diet

invariably have no appeal
E) exercise is tiring and should be avoided
5.) In the passage the writer ----.

challenges that even the very fit cannot cope with
B) attaches more importance to physical flexibility
than to physical endurance
C) gives three definitions of fitness that do not
conflict with each other
D) suggests that people routinely perform various
tasks to maintain their fitness
E) claims that physical fitness can easily be
maintained
6.) The idea of fitness put forward in the passage
----.
A) seems rather outdated and controversial
B) is complicated and contradictory
C) seems to ignore the ability to withstand stress
D) relates more to the sports enthusiasts than to
ordinary people
E) includes not only physical fitness, but also the
psychological one

I will never forget my first visit to Lascaux. It was a


terribly hot July day in 1949, and I was 11 years old.
My parents had decided to show me this prehistoric
painted cave that had been discovered nine years
earlier, and about which there was still so much talk.
A newly built road let to the cave near Montignac in
southwest France, and there we found a country fair
atmosphere. There were buses, hundreds of visitors
and people selling ice cream and postcards. There
were long lines to buy tickets, long lines to enter the
cave. I recall the smell of the pine trees and how
many visitors suffered from the heat. After a long
wait my parents and I passed through a
monumental bronze door and into the
semidarkness. We went down the stairs into the
large chamber called the Hall of the Bulls, which
was 17 meters long, 7 meters wide and 6 meters
high. The guide.s flashlight lit the walls. Suddenly all
around was a great parade of animals: the big bulls,
the black horses, and red and black deer.
7.) One point made by the narrator in this
passage is that ----.

frightened when he was in the cave
D) turned out to be a great disappointment
E) took place on a delightfully fresh warm summer.s
day

At the doors of the City Library waited a dozen men


and half as many women; the lucky ones, by
squeezing very close, partly sheltered themselves
from the cold rain; not a word of conversation
passed among them, and time passed very slowly.
Then the clock struck, and the doors opened. There
was a great rush down the stairs to the newspaper
room, and the first sight of this or that morning
paper. All
the women, but only a few of the men, were
genuinely eager to search columns of
advertisements, on the chance of finding
employment; the rest came for horse-racing news,
or a murder trial, or some such matter of popular
interest. In a very short time each of the favourite
journals had its little crowd, waiting with impatience
behind the two or three persons who managed to
read simultaneously. The only sound was that of
rustling papers.
10.) This passage describes a scene at a public
library early one morning, and ----.

C) get a warm place in which to shelter
D) meet their friends and do a bit of reading
E) get information about things that interested them

The tension between financial growth and social


instability in 19th-century Victorian England
influenced its literature. Prosperity brought a great
number of
new readers, with money to spend on books and
periodicals. In this period, when few people went to
the theatre or concerts, literature functioned as a
primary source of entertainment. Writers had
available an audience eager to read and willing to
pay. In addition, writers were respected more than
at any time in English literary history. The masses
knew and loved the works of the most famous, while
the wealthy sought their friendship. Major Victorian
writers had the attention of political and social
leaders, and when they spoke, they were listened
to.
13.) It is pointed out in the passage that, in
Victorian England, ----.
A) it was the masses, rather than the wealthy, who
were hit hard by the economic decline
B) theatres were popular places of entertainment

D) is not generally regarded as a significant part of
English literary history
E) has never been of much interest to the masses

When Toy Story I was released in 1995, it became


an international sensation. It was the first feature
film to be entirely constructed from computer
animation
and its considerable technical achievements were
the result of four years of hard work by a large team
of computer animators. The results have been
greatly appreciated. The question now is: will Toy
Story II continue to impress? Judging by the
enthusiastic reception at a recent press screening
from an audience made up largely of adults, the
answer is a definite .yes.. .The movies that Im most
affected by are the ones that make me laugh
hysterically but also have an effect on my emotions,
says the films director John Lasseter. Toy Story II
does just that.
16.) We learn from the passage that Toy Story I ---.
A) was so amusing that many people wanted to see
it again and again
B) appealed more to adults than it did to children
C) received poor reviews from the press when it was
first screened for journalists

though he didn.t actually deserve it
B) involved a great many people and called for a lot
of effort and collaboration
C) was a costly production, and this upset the
director
D) included both computer animation and live acting
E) was so tiring that Lasseter was reluctant to start
work on Toy Story II

Edmund Hillary and the porter, Tenzing


Norgay, got the glory for conquering Everest, but it
was John Hunt who made their success possible.
John Hunt was an excellent manager and paid great
attention to detail. For instance, he specified that
each box of rations contained 29 tins of sardines.
His strategy, which was soon to become standard in
mountaineering, called for an army of climbers,
especially porters who would methodically move up
the mountain, carrying supplies to ever higher
camps. Hunt gave the human element systematic
attention as well. Everest demands an "unusual
degree of selflessness and patience", he later wrote.
"Failure, whether moral or physical, by even one or
two people would
add immensely to its difficulties." The desire to
reach the top, he added, "must be both individual
and collective." That last point was important: the
goal of this huge effort was to deliver just two
climbers to the summit.
19.) It is clear from the passage that John Hunt ----.
A. regarded the conquest of Everest as
a team success
B. was a good mountaineer, but not a
good organizer
C. wanted to get to the top of Everest
himself

the success of Edmund Hillary and
Tenzing Norgay ----.
A. aroused a great deal of envy among
the other team members
B. gave rise to a lot of talk about how
selfish they both were and how
undeserving of the fame they achieved
C. added to the fame that Hunt already
enjoyed
D. depended, to a very large extent, on
the preparations planned and carried
out by John Hunt
E. turned mountaineering into a
fashionable sport worldwide
21.) As it is pointed out in the passage, in
the opinion of John Hunt, ----.
A. the use of porters would contribute
very little to the success of the expedition
B. the food for the climbers was only of
minor importance
C. climbing Everest requires not only
physical strength but also certain
moral qualities
D. Hillary and Tenzing did not deserve
the fame they had
E. in mountaineering, the height of a
mountain is of little importance

Certain records have come to light recently, which


suggest that it was the Chinese who discovered
America. And they found it nearly three quarters of a
century before Columbus did. It's a sad fact of life,
and of our rather poor historical education, that
Europeans tend to have a Eurocentric view of
history. Unfortunately, it's not usually realized that
China had an empire and a civilization that put
medieval Europe to shame. Culturally, politically and
even scientifically, China's home-grown experiments
and experiences could not be matched for a long
time. In the
meantime, the Chinese were enthusiastic
travellers and explorers. Indeed, Chinese
navigators were also far more advanced than any in
the West.
22.) It is clear from the passage that, in the
Middle Ages, ----.
A. China was far ahead of Europe in
several respects
B. the European civilization was the best
in the world
C. the Chinese empire was rapidly
getting smaller

both Europe and China
E. history was a major part of European
education
23.) It is pointed out in the passage that
medieval Chinese sailors ----.
A. came to America by mere chance
B. knew much less than Columbus
about other lands
C. were only interested in trading
activities
D. greatly admired the European
explorers including Columbus
E. were far more experienced and skilful
than the European ones
24.) We understand from the passage that the
writer
A. seems fully convinced that America
was first discovered by the Europeans
B. criticizes the Europeans for their
narrow understanding of history
C. is not really interested in Chinese
culture and achievements
D. has no documentary evidence of any
kind to support his ideas
E. is very biased in favour of Europe

The primitive story-teller, free from all


considerations of form, simply told a tale.
"Once upon a time", he began, and
proceeded to narrate the story to his
listeners, describing the characters when
necessary, telling what they thought and felt as well
as what they did, and adding
comments and ideas of his own. The modern fiction
writer is artistically more selfconscious. He realizes
that there are many ways of telling a story; he
decides upon a method before he begins, and may
even set up rules for himself. Instead of telling the
story himself, he may let one of his characters tell it
for him; he may tell it by means of letters or diaries;
he may confine himself to recording the thoughts of
just one of his characters.

25.) We understand from the passage that the


modern fiction writer ----.
A. differs from the primitive storyteller
because of his methods of narration
B. admires the narrative techniques of
primitive story-tellers
C. uses even fewer narrative techniques
than the primitive story-tellers did
D. never makes use of either letters or
diaries in his novels
E. is often criticized for writing in a selfconscious
manner
26.) It is clear that the writer of the
passage ----.
A. knows a lot more about primitive
story-telling than about modern fiction
B. finds the primitive story-teller very
uninteresting
C. would very much like to be a novelist
himself
D. is interested in the various writing
techniques of modern authors
E. feels strongly that modern writers
have suddenly become too interested
in the techniques of writing

1. )One important point made in the
passage is that a modern writer, before he starts
to write, ----.
A. rarely thinks about the background of
his story
B. chooses the main characters for his
story
C. often decides exactly how he is going
to tell his story
D. must make himself familiar with the

Do you enjoy reading newspaper articles on


sporting events? Do you take pleasure in reviews of
performances you have seen? Do you particularly
like stories of the lives of real people, both from the
past and the present? Many people do. Newspaper
articles, reviews, autobiographies, biographies-all
are types of nonfiction. Nonfiction deals with actual
people, places, events and topics based on real life.
Autobiographies and biographies deal with the lives
of real people while essays provide a writer with
room to express his or her thoughts and feelings on
a particular subject. Nonfiction may inform, describe,
persuade, or it may simply amuse.
2.) According to the passage, nonfiction
----.
A. has gained in popularity in recent
times
B. is not appreciated by a majority of
people
C. is only concerned with everyday
events
D. is the easiest form of writing
E. covers quite a wide range of writing
3.) It is pointed out in the passage that
the subject matter of any type of nonfiction ----.
A. is never imaginary
B. is often unpleasant
C. has very little variety
D. is always emotional
E. rarely has any wide appeal
4.) It is clear from the passage that one of the
functions of nonfiction may be to
---A. encourage people to write their
autobiographies
B. promote sporting activities
C. enable the reader to understand
newspaper articles better
D. make the reader change his/her mind
about something
E. contribute to the improvement of
essay-writing

A play is written to be performed. Therefore, when


you read a play, you must try to imagine how it
would appear and sound to an audience. By using
your imagination, you can build a theatre in your
mind. Because a play is written to be performed, it
uses certain conventions you do not encounter in
short stories. It contains stage directions that tell
the actors how to speak and how to move
upon the stage. Most of the story is
presented through dialogue, the words the
characters speak. In addition it is divided into short
units of action called "scenes" and larger ones
called "acts".
5.) In the passage it is suggested that,
when we read a play, ----.
A. the division into acts can be ignored
B. it is best to ignore the stage directions
C. we should try to imagine it being
performed
D. we should try to focus on the story
E. we need to know a lot about the
conventions of play-writing
6.) As we understand from the passage, a play ---.
A. is most effective when the emphasis
is on character
B. differs very little from a short story
C. needs to be seen on the stage before
it can be enjoyed
D. is very often spoilt by too many stage
directions
E. has certain features that are only
found in plays
7.) This passage is mainly concerned
with ----.
A. the elements that are to be found in a
play
B. how a play should be performed
C. the relationship between the audience
and the actors
D. how a play should be constructed
E. how a play should be staged

The wind that day was light and fresh and


came from the west, and with it at noon a
little boat came quickly, over the bright
waves, into Sattins Harbour. While it was stil quite a
distance away, a sharp-eyed boy spotted it and,
since he knew, just as every child on the island
knew, every sail of the forty boats of the island
fishing fleet, he ran down the street calling out, "A
foreign boat, a foreign boat!" The lonely island was
rarely visited by a foreign boat, so, by the time the
boat had arrived half the village was there to greet
it. Fishermen were following it homewards, and
those who happened to be inland, were climbing up
and down the rocky hills, and hurrying towards the
harbour.
8.) Clearly, the island described in the
passage ----.
A. is extremely fertile and can support a
large population
B. is an isolated one, inhabited largely
by fishermen and their families
C. is frequently visited by foreign boats

fishing
9.) As we understand from the passage,
the boy ----.
A. was the only child on the island who
could recognize every boat in the fishing fleet
B. wanted to be the first to see the boat
at close quarters
C. was particularly interested in foreign
boats
D. knew that the boat that was coming in
was foreign, because he didn't
recognize the sail
E. didn't see the foreign boat until after it
had entered the harbour
10.) It is clear from the passage that the
arrival of the foreign boat ----.
A. upset the islanders as they didn't
expect it so early
B. caused a great deal of uneasiness,
especially among the fishermen
C. aroused a great deal of excitement
among the islanders
D. surprised people since these were
dangerous waters for sailors
E. aroused the curiosity of the children
but was ignored by everyone else

It was a hot afternoon, and the railway


carriage was equally hot, and the next stop
was at Templecombe, nearly an hour ahead. The
occupants of the carriage were a small girl, and a
smaller girl, and a small boy. The aunt who was with
the children occupied one corner seat, and the
further corner seat on the opposite side was
occupied by a man who was a stranger to their
party, but the small girls and the small boy were the
ones who really occupied the compartment. The
aunt and the children talked from time to time but in
a very limited way. Most of the aunt's
remarks seemed to begin with "Don't", and nearly all
of the children's remarks began with "Why?" The
man said nothing out loud, but probably wished he
were somewhere else.
11.) We understand from the passage that ----.
A. the aunt and the children have
constant disagreements
B. the children seem to have known the
man for a long time
C. the children's good behaviour pleased
the aunt
D. the aunt is taking the children back to

E. a description of the occupants of the
railway carriage
13.) It is clear from the passage that the
man ----.
A. felt sorry for the children, not the aunt
B. did not, apparently, find this train
journey enjoyable
C. tried hard to make the children
behave better
D. answered a lot of the children's
questions
E. told the aunt to keep the children
quiet

Born in 1564 in Stratford, Shakespeare


probably attended the Stratford grammar
school, where he received a classical
education under its excellent school-master. The
years from the mid-1580s to about 1592 are called
"the lost years" in Shakespeare's life because
nothing is known of him. By 1592, at any rate, he
was a rising young playwright in London. This was
an exciting period in the English theatre mainly
because of a group known as the University Wits,
which included Marlowe, Nashe and others.
These brilliant young men turned out
sophisticated plays for the aristocracy and
sensational plays for the general public.
14.) It is pointed out in the passage that
the group known as the "University
Wits" ----.
A. wrote exclusively for upper class
audiences
B. were less popular than Shakespeare
after he came to London
C. had done very little to make the
London theatre popular
D. wrote two very distinct types of play

passage refers to ---A. the years during which Shakespeare
wrote no plays
B. the period in Shakespeare's life about
which we have virtually no knowledge
C. the period before Shakespeare
became famous for his plays
D. the years of hardship Shakespeare
experienced in Stratford
E. the period of writing before
Shakespeare met the University Wits

16.) One can understand from the passage that,


when Shakespeare attended his local school, ---A. he soon began to experiment with the
writing of plays
B. his schoolmaster recognized his
literary talent and gave him great
encouragement
C. he was disappointed because so
much emphasis was put on classical
subjects
D. the quality of education there was
remarkably good
E. he met Marlowe and Nashe, who
became his future colleagues

Elephants have to keep in touch across large


distances. Even when they are out of hearing range
of one another, in forests or the great plains of East
Africa, they are often spotted moving in the same
direction. Sometimes they seem to stand still in their
tracks and move their feet up and down, which
leads some scientists to believe they have sensitive
cells in their feet. Such cells would enable them to
pick up low frequency vibrations from the ground,
waves that travel distances of up to 16 km.
17.) We understand from the passage that, when
elephants are a good distance apart, they ---A. become nervous and stamp their feet
B. feel very insecure
C. can still communicate with each other
D. try many different ways of making
contact with each other
E. feel exposed to attack
18.) As it is clear from the passage, some
scientists, are of the opinion that ---A. the sensitive cells in the feet of
elephants serve a wide variety of
functions
B. the power of elephants to
communicate is very weak
C. some elephants have adapted
themselves well to the specific
environmental conditions of East
Africa
D. it is not natural for elephants to
move in the same direction
E. elephants have cells in their feet
that are sensitive to vibrations.
19.) According to the passage, one
scientific assumption about elephants
is that ---A. the forest lands and plains of East
Africa is their ideal environment
B. they can sense all levels of vibration
equally well
C. the up-and-down movement of their
feet is a means of communication
D. their sense of hearing enables them
to pick up sounds up to 16 km away
E. their whole body is covered with
extremely sensitive cells

When George Orwell was asked by a


journalist about his career as a writer, he
gave the following account of himself: "From a very
early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that
when I grew up I should be a writer. Between the
ages of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to
give up this idea, but I knew that sooner or later I
should have to settle down and write books. I was
the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five
years on either side, and I barely saw my father
before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was
somewhat lonely, and I soon developed
disagreeable habits which made me unpopular
throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child's
habit of making up
stories and holding conversations with
imaginary persons; ambitions were mixed up with
the feeling of being isolated and
undervalued.
20.) We learn from the passage,
that during his years at school George
Orwell ----.
A. used to entertain the other pupils with
his funny stories
B. collected a lot of material to use in his
writings
C. was an extremely ambitious pupil and
often got very high grades
D. was disliked because his behaviour
was rather odd..
E. was held in great respect on account
of his literary talents

the idea, ---A. he later decided to go in for
journalism
B. it was his father who encouraged him
to be a writer
C. he actually knew all along he would
have to be a writer
D. at a later period he devoted himself to
the cause of lonely children at school

his habit of inventing stories and
talking to imaginary characters, ---A. was essentially a result of his
loneliness
B. was a gift he had inherited from his
father
C. made him popular with his school
friends
D. was to continue all through his life
E. had no bearing upon his career as a
writer

Antarctese is the peculiar language used by the


scientists and explorers of the Antarctic. Where did
Antarctese come from? Words have drifted in from
the languages of explorers of many nations. Old
naval terms that have died out in the rest of the
world have lived on in Antarctic bases. And, when it
comes to language, Antarctica creates special
needs. Where else do you need words for so many
kinds of dreadful food, weather, snow or, for that
matter, for penguins? All these influences have
combined with words invented just for fun to create
the unique vocabulary of Antarctese.
23.) It is clear from the passage that
Antarctese ---A. has a very limited vocabulary, largely
of naval terms
B. is the revival of an old language
C. is an odd combination of words from
various languages as well as words
made up for fun
D. will go out of use in the near future,
due to the fact that so few people use
it
E. is rapidly gaining in popularity
24.) According to the passage, the
language of Antarctica ---A. has developed to meet the needs of
the scientists and explorers there
B. is essentially made up of old naval
expressions
C. is used by scientists and explorers in
many parts of the world
D. is attracting a great deal of attention
throughout the world
E. is surprisingly rich and expressive
25. )This passage is mainly concerned
with ---A. how old naval terms can still be used
B. the life and the needs of the scientists
and explorers in Antarctica

came into being
D. examples of the vocabulary used in
Antarctese

YDS DENEMELER
Explaining science seems to come naturally to
Charlotte, who is a young BBC presenter. She is
rapidly becoming quite a star because her passion
for wildlife shows vividly on TV. And she's every bit
as enthusiastic in person. I caught up with her in
Bristol, where she works for the BBC's Wildlife Unit.
She talked about her latest project over tea and
biscuits, speaking softly when reflecting on her
answers and at times appearing astonished at the
animals' amazing behaviour which she
confronted on her travels. She clearly
enjoyed her latest project, Talking With
Animals, which investigates the extremely
different ways in which animals communicate with
each other.
1.) It is clear from the passage that
Charlotte
A. who is dedicated to her work, is
extremely pleased with her new
project
B. whose work with the BBC has only
just started, is anxious to please her
viewers
C. an established TV presenter, has only
recently taken an interest in wildlife
D. a newly-recruited BBC presenter, has
been reluctant to accept wildlife
programmes
E. whose programmes have generally
been asuccess, has nevertheless
received some harsh criticism
2.) We understand from the passage that
Charlotte's current project ---A. involved a great deal of travel in
harsh environments
B. has been turned down by the BBC
C. is concerned with how animals
manage to communicate with each
other
D. does not interest her as much as
some of her earlier ones did
E. concerns the variety of wildlife in the
Bristol area
3.) According to the passage, Charlotte's rising
fame as a TV presenter ---A. is not well-deserved though all of her
projects have been very demanding
B. has surprised everyone at the BBC
C. is largely due to the success of her
project, Talking With Animals
D. has aroused considerable jealousy
among her colleagues
E. is due to her genuine love of wildlife
as reflected through her programmes

Nonfiction, unlike fiction, is based on real


people and real events and presents factual
information. A writer of nonfiction often sets out with
a certain purpose in mind and directs the writing to a
certain intended audience. For example, the writer
may set out to explain, to persuade, or to entertain.
The writer may direct the essay towards people
already familiar with the subject or people who have
little or no knowledge of it. You will gain more from
reading nonfiction if you examine the techniques the
writer uses to accomplish the purpose, the support
the writer uses to back up the main idea, and the
way the writer arranges the supporting information.
4.) We understand from the passage that the
writer of nonfiction ----.
A. faces a more difficult task than the
writer of fiction
B. likes to write for people with very little
knowledge
C. uses the same techniques regardless
of the purpose of his writing
D. very often writes for a specific kind of
reader
E. is less serious about his work than is
the writer of fiction

5.) The point is made in the passage that, when


reading nonfiction, it can be
useful to ---A. familiarize oneself with the events
that are under consideration
B. find out first what sort of reader the
writing was designed for
C. decide in advance whether the writer
aims to instruct or to entertain
D. be well acquainted with the subject
E. examine the methods the writer
employs to accomplish his aim
6.) It is clear from the passage that,
among writers of nonfiction, there is a
great variety of aim ---A. but the aim has no bearing on the
techniques employed
B. one of which is the desire to please
C. but the desire to persuade is always
there
D. since the people and events
described are all imaginary
E. but readers should completely
disregard the aims.

Britain emerged from her industrial revolution as the


foremost industrial power in the world. Thanks to her
coal mines, her steel industry and the vision and
skill of her inventors, she developed the first and
best machine industry in the world. Steel, the most
essential raw material for all machine-engineering,
was the very foundation of her industrial power and
was recognized and regarded as such.

11.) It can be understood from the passage that


nuclear power ----.
A) can only be produced under good weather
conditions
B) has more disadvantages than advantages C)
produces electricity very slowly
D) has several obvious advantages
E) produces gases harmful to the atmosphere

7.) It is clear from the passage that steel


A. was rarely used in industry except in Britain
B. had always been of secondary
importance, compared with coal
C. was the most vital material for Britain's industry
D. was not valued, even in Britain, as an industrial
material
E. was just one of several raw materials
to gain importance during the industrial revolution

12.) According to the passage, nuclear power is


preferable to hydrogen power because ----.
A) nuclear power works well together with solar and
wind power
B) nuclear reactors are smaller than the plants
which produce hydrogen
C) hydrogen power cannot be used for powering
cities
D) it has already been tried and tested
E) hydrogen power is much more dangerous than
nuclear power

8.) According to the passage, Britain's


industrial revolution ---A. has never been regarded as in any
way remarkable
B. was a slow process in comparison
with what happened elsewhere
C. was absolutely confined to machine engineering
D. transformed her into the most powerful
industrialized country
E. was accompanied by a great deal of hardship
9.) We understand from the passage that Britain
became the leader in machineengineering ---A. in spite of stiff competition from other
industrialized countries
B. because of her natural resources and
talented inventors
C. simply because of her vast reserves of coal
D. even though she did not have a wellestablished
steel industry
E. even though her natural resources
were limited

The benefits of nuclear power are fairly clear. First,


unlike wind and solar power, it does not depend on
the weather. Second, since it produces a large
amount of electricity in a short time, it can meet all
the energy needs of cities and factories, for which
wind and solar power may not be sufficient. In
addition, nuclear reactors release no carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere, and they can be built in
inaccessible locations. Lastly, unlike the technology
of hydrogen-powered fuel cells, the technology of
nuclear power is already widely used.
10.) The passage points out that one benefit of
nuclear reactors is that they ----.
A) can produce more electricity than will ever be
needed
B) can be constructed in areas that are difficult to
reach
C) must be located in cities
D) use new technology
E) pose no danger to their immediate surroundings

Scientists have discovered that sunspots, that is,


explosions on the suns surface, may cause certain
species of whales to become trapped in the shallow
waters of the North Sea. The radiation from
sunspots may interfere with the Earths magnetic
field, which the whales might be using to help them
find their way in the oceans. Scientists think that this
interference may confuse the whales so that, during
their yearly migration from the Azores, they
mistakenly go into the North Sea instead of the
deeper waters of the Norwegian Sea, their
traditional territory.
13.) According to the passage, it is thought that,
----.
A) for their journeys in the oceans, some whales
may depend, for direction, on the Earths magnetic
field
B) whenever solar explosions take place, there
occur serious environmental problems on Earth
C) despite the vastness of the oceans, whales may
have developed a very strong sense of direction
D) contrary to the common view, there can be no
relationship whatsoever between sunspots and
the Earths magnetic field
E) the North Sea provides better shelter and more
food for all kinds of whales than the Norwegian Sea
does
14.) One understands from the passage that
scientists ----.
A) have carried out much research to understand
the impact of solar explosions upon life on Earth
B) have always wondered about the routes whales
take in the oceans for their yearly migration
C) finally seem to understand the reasons why
some kinds of whales fail to get to the Norwegian
Sea
D) have overlooked the question of sunspots and
their effects on the Earths magnetic field
E) now know for certain that the radiation from
sunspots has an adverse effect on marine life in the
oceans

15.) It is clear from the passage that,


traditionally, ----.
A) the shallow waters of the North Sea have been a
deadly trap for whales
magnetic field
B) whales have always migrated from the Azores
not only to the Norwegian Sea but also to the North
Sea
B) whenever solar explosions take place, there
occur serious environmental problems on Earth
C) despite the vastness of the oceans, whales may
have developed a very strong sense of direction
D) contrary to the common view, there can be no
relationship whatsoever between sunspots and the
Earths magnetic field
E) the North Sea provides better shelter and more
food for all kinds of whales than the Norwegian Sea
does
C) scientists have been indifferent to solar
explosions and their effects on the Earths
magnetic field
D) the waters around the Azores have been the
main feeding ground for all species of whales
E) the Norwegian Sea has been the ultimate
destination for whales during their annual migrations

Weather science is called meteorology. Historically,


in the past, no such science existed. Besides, most
people then felt that there was no need for it. They
believed it had all been explained by Aristotle, the
ancient Greek philosopher. For them, the teachings
and writings of Aristotle had explained everything
concerning the weather and there was no need for
further explanation. However, some 100 years ago,
people who wanted to learn more regarding the
weather could not learn it in a university. But today,
many people study the weather in universities
throughout the world. The main laws have been
established although there is still a lot we have to
learn about meteorology.
16.) According to the passage, meteorology ----.
A) has been fully developed as a science
B) is a relatively recent science which needs to be
further developed, although some progress hasbeen
made with regard to its Essentials
C) has been seriously studied in universities
sinceAristotles time
D) was of no interest to people before it began to
bestudied in universities
E) took its main laws from Aristotle, whose
understanding of the subject was largely theoretical

17.) It is pointed out in the passage that what


Aristotle had said about the weather ----.
A) was fully studied in the universities in the past,
and contributed enormously to the development of
meteorology as a science
B) obviously paved the way for the worldwide
popularity of meteorology as a field of study
C) was regarded by universities in the past as the
basis of meteorology
D) was ignored by a great majority of people in the
past, who in fact relied on their own observations of
the weather
E) was considered to be sufficient and final by most
people historically
E) was related to the fact that so many of them
18.) One understands from the passage that
peoples concern with meteorology ---A) was part of a research interest which was fast
becoming popular throughout the world
B) was so extensive that almost every university in
the world attached great importance to its study
C) relied solely on what the universities taught on
the subject
D) was mostly personal, not based on a scientific
study in a university
E) was related to the fact that so many of them were
farmers
During the Ottoman period, a small but increasing
number of European travellers began to explore and
study the sites of ancient cities in Western Turkey.
In
this regard, the first systematic exploration was
made in 1811 by Captain Beaufort of the British
Royal Navy, who mapped the Mediterranean coast
of Turkey and identified some of the ancient sites
there.
This was followed by a number of other
archaeological expeditions, including Charles
Fellowss explorations, from 1838 to 1844, of the
southwestern part of the country, called Lycia in
antiquity. But the most exciting find was Heinrich
Schliemanns rediscovery of Troy in excavations
that began in 1870. Since then, most of the ancient
cities of Western Turkey have probably been
unearthed
and studied, at least to some extent. The more
famous of them, such as Pergamum, Ephesus,
Sardis and Aphrodisias, are now the subjects of
large-scale excavations and restorations that have
recreated a fragmentary image of their former
splendour.
19.) It is implied in the passage that the
European explorations and studies of Western
Turkeys ancient sites made prior to the early
nineteenth century ----.
A) had not been carried out according to a plan
B) provided archaeologists with a great deal of
information indispensable for their excavations
C) mainly focused on the historically most important
ones such as Pergamum, Ephesus, Sardis and
D) were in fact essentially concerned with the
search for the actual site of Troy
E) had a secret military purpose and, therefore,
lacked any historical interest

20.) One understands from the passage that,


although many explorations of ancient ruins
were made in Western Turkey in the nineteenth
century, ----.
A) exploration and excavation there has not
continued into the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries
B) Ephesus and Sardis, especially, have provided
an extensive amount of data about life and society
in antiquity
C) it was Heinrich Schliemanns excavations of Troy
that created the most interest
D) Lycia, as a region, has always attracted a great
deal of attention from many travellers and
archaeologists
E) only Pergamum and Aphrodisias give us a full
picture of their magnificence in the past
21.)It is pointed out in the passage that, despite
extensive excavations and restorations, ----.
A) an extensive number of the ancient sites,
including Troy, in Western Turkey, have not yet
been unearthed
B) a very large part of Troy still needs to be further
explored and unearthed
C) many of Lycias ancient cities are still buried
under the ground and await digging out Aphrodisias
D) the ancient glory of such popularly known cities
as Pergamum, Ephesus, Sardis and Aphrodisias
E) the cities such as Pergamum, Ephesus, Sardis
and Aphrodisias are far from arousing a lasting
interest in the public
Florence is a monument to the Renaissance, the
artistic and cultural reawakening which took place in
Europe during the fifteenth century. The buildings,
designed by the periods great architect
Brunelleschi, and the paintings and sculptures of
artists such as Botticelli and Michelangelo have
turned the city into one of the worlds greatest
artistic capitals. During the Renaissance, Florence
was at the cultural and intellectual heart of Europe
and enjoyed enormous artistic growth. The legacy of
the Renaissance draws many visitors to the city
today, and its numerous museums, galleries,
churches, and monuments are among the major
attractions. Florences best sights are situated in
such a small area that the city seems to reveal its
treasures at every step.
22.) It is emphasized in the passage that
Florence today ---- as it houses wonderful
examples of Renaissance art and architecture.
A) enjoys much popularity throughout the world and
is visited by a great number of people
B) is so crowded by visitors from many parts of the
world that it can hardly cope with them
C) is considered to be one of the economic capitals
D) attracts primarily those people who have a very
strong intellectual interest in the works of Botticelli
and Michelangelo
E) is a small city that, for its economic well-being,
depends on an ever-growing number of visitors

23.) It is pointed out in the passage that, at the


time of the Renaissance, Florence ----.
A) constantly competed with other Italian cities to
become the artistic capital of Europe
B) became one of the most important cities in
Europe both intellectually and culturally
C) enjoyed a period of rapid economic growth
D) had so many museums and monuments that it
soon became a major tourist attraction of the period
E) was especially famous for its magnificent
churches and art galleries, mainly designed by
Brunelleschi and other contemporary architects
24.) The writer states that the artistic and
cultural wealth of Florence ----.
A) was derived only from Brunelleschi, Botticelli and
Michelangelo
B) consists only of museums, galleries and
churches
C) can be experienced today everywhere in the city
of Europe
D) has only recently been recognized by the world
E) was suppressed by the Christian churches there
during the Renaissance

Auguste Renoir, the great French painter of the late


nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, came from
a poor family and was for the most part self-taught.
He led a quiet and happy life. He was content with
his garden and the company of his family. He was
the most traditional of the great artists of his time,
such as Cezanne, Gaugain, or Van Gogh. And yet,
scarcely any of his contemporaries so faithfully
reflects the life and spirit of the period. When one
turns to the paintings of this period to learn
something of the visual aspects of its life, one will
find hardly anything of significance in the works of
these other painters. It is only in Renoir that one can
find the colour and the joy and the character of
everyday life. In that sense Renoir is the most
representative painter of his age.
25.) The writer maintains that Renoirs
contemporaries ----.
A) did not regard him as an accomplished and
creative painter
B) lacked the courage and skill to rival him in a
C) did not favour any novelties and changes in the
D) did not show any interest in the search for new
E) did not represent the visual aspects of their time
as truly as he did

Great literature does not touch a reader only on one


or two sides of his nature, but causes him to
respond with his whole being. It has an effect on his
senses,
imagination, emotion, and intellect. It attempts not
only to entertain the reader but to bring him fresh or
renewed understanding of his own self as well as
his experience of life and people. Thus, it gives him
a broader and deeper understanding not only of
himself but also of life and of his fellow men. The
kind of perspective great literature gives cannot be
summed up as a simple lesson or moral. It is
knowledge knowledge of the complexities of
human nature, and knowledge of the tragedies and
sufferings, the excitements and joys, that
characterize the human experience.
3. )According to the passage, the perspectives a
reader gains from great literature ----.
A) are usually connected with the tragedies and
sufferings of human life.
B) are normally related to his emotions rather than
to his intellect

experiences of others
D) can be described accurately
E) cannot easily be defined as a simple lesson of
right and wrong

4.) The writer suggests that, when a reader is


exposed to great literature, ---A) he becomes more and more concerned with his
own self
B) his perception of the self and of others becomes
much stronger and deeper
C) his view of life and people undergoes a thorough
change for the worse
D) his experience of life and people is rarely
broadened or deepened
E) his interest in other peoples lives begins to
decline gradually

5.) As we understand from the passage, through


great literature, a reader ----.
A) can only gain a partial and limited understanding
of people
B) will have difficulty in understanding new
perspectives
C) is made familiar with different aspects of life
D) cannot gain fresh or renewed perspectives
E) rarely focuses on the complexities of human
nature

Mungo Park was one of the first British explorers in


Africa. In 1799, he published an account of his
journey in West Africa. He was not a Professional
writer, but a naval doctor of good education who
had been to Edinburgh University. He wrote not for
artistic effect, but to tell a plain story of his
remarkable adventures. Indeed, he wrote frankly,
but without exaggeration, of his own hardships and
sufferings on the journey. Therefore, his style was
direct and free from affectation and obscurity.
6.) According to the passage, in his writing,
Mungo Park ----.
A) was always concerned with facts and gave
importance to clarity
B) was keenly interested in fantasies about the life
and people in Africa
C) presented a very complex and detailed account
of what he had observed in Africa

carefully studied literary style
C) devoted himself to the solution of health
problems in various parts of Africa
D) was a medical doctor who apparently worked for
the British navy
E) distinguished himself by his valuable studies of
major African diseases
Modern stanbul owes much of its spirit and beauty
to the waters which bound and divide it. There is
perhaps nowhere else in town where one can
appreciate this more than from the Galata Bridge.
Certainly there are other places in stanbul with
more panoramic views, but none where one can
beter sense the intimacy which this city has with the
sea. It is here that the Bosphorus and the Golden
Horn meet, forming a site of great beauty, and
together flow into the Sea of Marmara. Thus, the
visitor to the city is advised to stroll to the Galata
Bridge for his
first view of the city.
9.) It is emphasized in the passage that the
Galata Bridge ----.
A) is one of the places in stanbul which visitors
prefer to see in the first place
B) is one of the places in stanbul where a visitor
can fully enjoy the overall beauty of the city
C) offers the most panoramic view of stanbul,
unlike anywhere else in the city

importance
C) have always been considered to have stanbuls
most panoramic views
D) have never been so famous for their beauty as
the Galata Bridge
E) are the only two places in stanbul which offer the
most panoramic views
11.) In the passage, the writer draws attention to
----.
A) various panoramic views of stanbul, especially of
the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn
B) the geographical features and importance of the
Bosphorus
C) the close relationship between the city and the
sea in stanbul
D) the fact that the Galata Bridge arouses much
interest in visitors to stanbul
E) the question of how the Sea of

Marmara plays a part in the life of stanbul As a


branch of learning, prehistory deals with the earliest
history of man and is therefore part of human
history. However, it comes very close to the natural
sciences and is indeed the bridge between geology
and history. It is much concerned with periods of
time, which are also the concern of the geologist
and the natural historian. Moreover, it uses a great
number of research techniques which essentially
belong to the natural and physical sciences.
Therefore, one may refer to it both as a science and
as the earliest phase of historical study.
12.) In the passage the writer tries to ----.
A) prove that, as a branch of learning, prehistory
has developed out of the natural sciences
B) explain the kind of techniques used for research
in prehistory and various sciences
C) show that, unless one has studied geology,
prehistory by itself is of no use
D) answer the question of how prehistory is to be
defined as a field of study
E) emphasize the fact that human history is an
extremely vast and complicated subject
13.) One understands from the passage that
there is----.
A) a great deal of common ground between
prehistory and the natural sciences
B) a great deal of controversy among prehistorians
and geologists about periods of time
C) no relationship whatsoever between the
techniques used by the prehistorian and the natural
historian
D) a wide gap between natural and physical
sciences as regards research techniques
E) a great deal of disagreement about the uses of
prehistory in understanding man
14.) As can be concluded from the passage, it is
through prehistory that ----.
A) the historian, the geologist, and the natural
historian have learned how to collaborate in
research
B) geologists have learned about periods of time
C) most issues concerning human history have
been settled
D) some research techniques have been developed
for the study of human history
E) the first phase of mans history has been
Explored

Every poem conveys an experience and attempts to


arouse certain feelings in the reader. When we have
read a poem and understood its general and
detailed
meaning, we should try to decide what feelings the
poet is trying to arouse in us. A poem may affect
different people in a great variety of ways, and it is
often impossible to define a poets true intentions.
Our interpretation of a poets aims is, therefore,
largely a personal matter, but at the same time it
should never be far-fetched.

We all know that there are beautiful buildings and


that some of them are true works of art. But there is
scarcely any building in the world which was not
built
for a particular purpose. Those who use these
buildings as places of worship or entertainment, or
as dwellings, judge them first and foremost by
standards of utility. But apart from this, they may like
or dislike the design or proportion of the structure,
and appreciate the efforts of the architect to make it
not only practical but also beautiful.

15.) It is clearly emphasized in the passage that


each reader of a poem ----.
A) must always relate his or her own experience to
the poem by first defining the poets true intentions
B) should, in the first place, focus on the poets
true intentions and then try to understand the
general meaning of the poem
C) may come up with a different interpretation of
what the poet may have aimed at in the poem
D) must be prepared to be emotionally influenced by
the poet, whose aims can then be understood most
clearly
E) must be concerned only with the detailed
meaning of the poem rather than with what the poet
may have intended

18.) The writer argues that practical usefulness ---.


A) is the single most important feature for a building
to become a true work of art
B) is the only aim of every architect in designing a
building
C) should never be taken into consideration in the
design of a building
D) is what makes a building look beautiful and
architecturally exceptional
E) is the primary principle by which a building is
evaluated by its users

16.) There is a point made in the passage that, in


interpreting the aims of a poet in a poem, we
should ----.
A) first try to understand how the poem may have
been written
B) always avoid making unlikely comments
C) never be guided by our feelings, and use
different ways to understand the poem
D) completely ignore both the poets and our own
experiences
E) carefully study what special feelings the poet
may have intended to avoid
17.) It is asserted in the passage that a poem ----.
A) is essentially the expression of an experience
B) always deals with the poets own feelings in
different ways
C) definitely gives rise to all kinds of feelings in the
reader
D) usually has a single meaning shared by every
reader
E) always has the same effect on all of its readers

19.) It is pointed out in the passage that not only


utility but also beauty ----.
A) is scarcely taken into consideration by users of
buildings
B) has been ignored in the design of most buildings
C) is of secondary importance for architects
D) is a desirable quality of a building
E) should not be an architectural concern
20.) The writer implies in the passage that every
beautiful building ----.

C) has been designed either for worship or for
entertainment
D) need not have been designed by an architect
E) is always appreciated seriously by its users
The word Renaissance means rebirth or revival,
and the idea of such a rebirth began to gain ground
in Italy from the fourteenth century onwards. When
people of the period wanted to praise a poet or an
artist, they said that his work was as good as that of
the ancients. For instance, the early Renaissance
painter Giotto was praised in this way as a master
who had led to a true revival of painting; by this,
people meant that his art was as good as that of the
famous masters whose work they found praised in
the classical Greek and Roman writers.
21. )According to the passage, the Renaissance
----.
A) had already started in Italy before Giotto became
famous as a painter
B) began as a complete imitation classical Greek
and Roman authors
C) was an artistic revival that came into being in
Italy in the fourteenth century
D) would not have begun if Giotto had not imitated
the ancient masters of painting
E) was originally inspired by ancient Greek and
Roman writings

22.) In the passage, attention is drawn to the fact


that, in appreciating a Renaissance form of art, ---.
A) we ought to have read beforehand the works of
classical Greek and Roman writers
B) one should always bear in mind Giottos
importance as an artist
C) the people of Italy in the fourteenth century
turned for comparison to Giottos works
D) the people of the time tended to compare it with
its classical example
E) one must be fully familiar with the art practised by
the famous masters of the past
23.) We learn from the passage that Giotto ----.
A) relied a great deal on famous classical painters
to develop his own art
B) played a leading role in the revival of the art of
painting in the Renaissance

Greek and Roman writers
D) was seriously worried about the development of
painting during the Renaissance
E) first studied the classical art of painting and then
decided to become a painter
One of the most familiar sights in stanbul is
perhaps the one least visited. This is the Maidens
Tower, which is called Kz Kulesi in Turkish. It
stands on a little island of rock a few hundred
metres off skdar. Its Turkish name is derived from
an ancient legend concerning a princess who was
confined there by her father to protect her from a
terrible prophecy; the
prophecy was that she would die from the bite of a
snake. However, despite every precaution taken for
her safety, she was eventually bitten by a snake
which had been smuggled out to the tower in a
basket of grapes.
24.) It is clear from the passage that the story of
the princess ----.
A) describes a real incident which took place in the
past
B) deals with a funny situation in which her father is
involved
C) shows how indifferent her father was about her
safety
D) is a sad one, which may arouse pity in the reader
E) actually has nothing to do with the Maidens
Tower

A) despite all the measures taken for the safety of
the princess, the prophecy came true
B) even though the princess did her best to avoid
the prophecy, her father acted irresponsibly
C) contrary to her fathers strict orders, the princess
allowed the basket of grapes into the tower
D) however much he loved his daughter, the father
was careless about the protection of the princess

The Olympic Games were first held in Olympia in


ancient Greece to honour the Greek god Zeus.
These ancient Olympics began in the year 776 B.C.
and continued until 392 A.D., that is, for more than
1,000 years. Only male athletes competed in these
games. They competed in different sports activities,
but there
were competitions also in poetry, music and other
arts. At the beginning and end of the Games,
animals were killed and offered to Zeus. When
people stopped believing in the Greek gods, the
Olympic
Games were cancelled. The Olympic Games were
brought back in 1896, when the first modern
Olympic Games were held in Athens, the capital of
Greece.
Only nine countries with about 250 athletes
participated in these first modern Games, and again
all the athletes were male. Today, about 10,000
athletes from about 200 countries compete in the
Olympic Games, and nearly half of them are
women.

New Yorkers are often regarded as being unkind.


Actually, this is not a fair attitude. They are willing to
help people who need help, but experience has
taught them a lot of people dont want to be helped.
Are New Yorkers less kind people less caring on
the inside than city dwellers in other places? Not
at all. When you talk to them about this, many give
good reasons for their reluctance to help strangers.
Most
have been taught early on that reaching out to
people you dont know can be dangerous. To
survive in New York, they were taught that they
should avoid even
the potentially suspicious. Some also Express
concern that others might not want help, that the
stranger, too, might be afraid of outside contact or
might feel insulted. Many tell stories of being
abused
for trying to help. As one woman explains, she saw
an elderly man with a walking stick who appeared
unable to cross a busy street. When she gently
offered to help, he replied angrily, When l want
help, Ill ask for it. Mind your own business. Over
and over, New Yorkers say that they care deeply
about
the needs of strangers, but that the realities of city
living prevent them from reaching out. People speak
with nostalgia of the past, when they would pick up
hitchhikers or arrange a meal for a hungry stranger.
5.) The aim of the passage is to ----.
A) show that the people of New York are not
basically unkind
B) explain why people in New York are so kind
C) to encourage people to be more helpful

who seem to be in need of help ----.
A) are not always ready to receive help
B) can easily look after themselves
C) enjoy being helped by strangers
D) are very uncommon in New York
E) prefer to be helped by a woman than by a man

When sunlight heats the earth, it also heats the


atmosphere. As hot air rises, cooler and heavier air
rushes in to fill its place, thus creating wind. For
more than 2,000 years, people have captured this
energy
with windmills and used it to do useful things, such
as grinding grain or pumping water. By the late 19th
century, windmills were also being used to produce
electricity, mostly in rural areas. Compared with
traditional windmills, however, modern wind turbines
are far more efficient.
8.) The major focus of the passage is on ----.
A) traditional windmills
B) wind and wind energy
C) modern wind turbines
D) the connection between hot air and cool air
E) the need for electricity in rural areas
9.) The passage informs us that ----.
A) grain grinding and water pumping are two of the
functions of windmills
B) sunlight heats the atmosphere, not the earth
C) wind is created when cool air rises and hot air
sinks
D) windmills have always been more decorative
than useful
E) windmills have been used to produce electricity
for thousands of years
10.) From this passage, we can see that ----.
A) there is almost no difference between windmills
and wind turbines
B) earlier people failed to capture the winds energy
C) in earlier times people needed electricity more in
rural areas, not in urban areas
D) wind turbines supply electric power more
efficiently than do windmills
E) it is difficult to make use of wind energy

Travelling east along the coast to Antalya, you may


easily miss the great Lake of Kyceiz lying behind
the orange trees. Visitors at nearby Dalyan sail
regularly back and forth between the famous small
peninsula of sand where turtles build their nests and
the ancient ruins of Caunus four miles away. They
may even visit the mud baths at the tip of the lake.
Yet they seldom try to swim in the lake itself, which
is strangely hidden away from both the highway and
the tourist crowd; this has helped the lake to evolve
into arare area of ecological importance.

11.) The passage is largely concerned with the ---.


A) historical ruins around Kyceiz
B) great Lake of Kyceiz
C) sandy beaches around Kyceiz
D) turtles nesting in Dalyan

D) one has to travel to Antalya in order to see the
Lake of Kyceiz
E) Caunus is a modern settlement
13.) The passage states that the main reason
why the Lake of Kyceiz has become an
important ecological area is that ----.
A) it is surrounded by orange trees
B) visitors prefer to see Dalyan and Caunus rather
than the lake
C) it is hidden away from the main road and the
crowds of tourists
D) visitors going to Antalya rarely stop there
E) there are mud baths at either end
Various estimates suggest that by 2050 nearly one
third of the worlds energy needs could come from
renewable sources such as solar power, wind
power, geothermal power and hydrogen fuel cells.
This leaves the other two thirds to come from
conventional fossil fuels such as oil and gas. We
have to find a balance between the need to protect
peoples way of life and the environment, and the
need to provide them with affordable energy; and
also between the cost of developing new technology
to get the most from fossil fuels, and the cost of
developing new power sources.
14.) This passage is largely about ----.
A) the necessity of balancing the use of fossil fuels
and renewable energy sources
B) the harmfulness of fossil fuels to peoples way of
life and the environment
C) the advantages of using renewable energy
sources such as wind power
D) the usefulness of renewable energy sources to
peoples way of life and the environment
E) new power sources which have to be developed
to replace conventional fuels
15.) The passage suggests that ----.
A) traditional fuels are renewable, so we should go
on using them
B) after 2050 only one third of the world will use
fossil fuels, and the remaining two thirds will use
enewable energy
C) by 2050 it could be possible for renewable
energy sources to supply 33% of the worlds power
needs
D) new power sources are to be developed at all
costs
E) one should protect the environment even if this
causes fuel prices to rise

16.) The passage points out that ----.


A) no estimates have been made about the future
use of energy sources
B) developing new technology to obtain fossil fuels
costs less than developing new power sources
C) fossil fuels will exist as long as the world exists,
but they are harmful
D) the use of oil and gas helps us to protect the
environment
E) the type of energy needed and the cost of
producing it are related problems

In the years following the Chernobyl reactor disaster


in 1986, nuclear power was seen as a dying
industry.
Public support had lessened because of safety
fears, and many countries decided to put a halt to
new reactor construction. But there has recently
been a dramatic revival of interest in nuclear
energy, thanks to the twin threats of climate change
and energy insecurity. Nuclear reactors do not emit
CO2 when they generate electricity, so
governments are
increasingly seeing the construction of such
reactors as a way to bring down carbon emissions
and generate stable supplies of electricity.
17.) Based on the passage, we may conclude
that ----.
A) stable supplies of electricity can be generated
without the aid of nuclear reactors
B) threats of climate change and energy insecurity
have recently caused a lack of interest in clean
energy
C) as nuclear reactors emit CO2 when they
generate electricity, governments are
considering bringing down their numbers
D) people were worried about safety conditions after
the Chernobyl disaster
E) in reaction to the Chernobyl event, many
countries decided to have new reactors constructed
18.) The main subject emphasized in the
passage is
----.
A) the publics fears about safety
B) nuclear power as a dying industry
C) the twin threats of climate change and energy
insecurity
D) the dangers of CO2 created by nuclear reactors
E) the renewed interest in nuclear reactors and the
reasons for it
19.) We learn from the passage that
governments are now becoming ----.
A) less worried about climate change
B) more aware of the dangers of nuclear power
C) less interested in producing stable electricity
supplies
D) more supportive of nuclear energy
E) less concerned about carbon emissions in their
countries

A newspaper is a daily or weekly publication


containing news and comments on the news.
Newssheets
appeared after the invention of printing and were
introduced in 1609 in Germany and in 1616 in the
Netherlands. In 1622, the first newspaper appeared
in English. Improved printing and cheap paper and a
growing reading population led to a
growth in newspapers, but they were expensive. In
the 20th century, production costs fell with the
introduction of new technology.
20.) According to the passage, a newspaper not
only gives news ----.
A) though this is its main function
B) but also offers some discussion of the news

After the release of his film Titanic in 1997, Director
James Cameron announced that the next movie he
would make would be Avatar. It took him years to
produce the film as it had an astronomical budget
that approached 400 million dollars. In the film, Jake
and his team go to Pandora, a jungle-covered
moon, searching for valuable minerals. Since
humans are
unable to breathe on Pandora, human avatars are
created out of them. There, the Avatars meet the
Navi, a humanoid race, with sparkling blue skin,
and capabilities that are far greater than those of
normal
humans. A war breaks out between the Navi and
the Avatars. Meanwhile, Jake falls in love with a
Navi, and is forced to choose between the Avatars
and his Navi love.

In the past, before technology was used to monitor


the weather accurately, people looked at the skies,
watched how animals and plants behaved, and
relied on signs and superstitions to forecast the
weather.
Indeed, some people still believe that, when cows
lie down or a cat sneezes, it is going to rain.
Nowadays, scientists who study the weather, called
meteorologists, use many different methods to
make
their forecasts. Satellites monitor our weather and
send information to computers at special processing
stations. On the ground, weather stations all over
the world record wind speeds and directions,
temperature, clouds and air pressure.
4.) It is clear from the passage that reasonably
accurate weather forecasting ----.
A) is just one stage in an effort to control the climate
B) does not require much technological assistance
C) is of great importance to people engaged in
agriculture
D) is of little importance to most people in the world
E) is now available worldwide
5.) As is pointed out in the passage, before the
coming of technology, ----.
A) the only way to learn about the weather was
through the behaviour of plants and animals
B) people tried to forecast the weather, but they
were always mistaken
C) the methods used to forecast the weather are all
now regarded as completely useless
D) several methods were used in an effort to
forecast the weather

with the aid of technology, to forecast the
weather, but
----.
A) it is still a very complex process
B) changing wind speeds can affect predictions
C) more satellites are necessary before we can
achieve accurate forecasting
D) much relevant material is never processed
E) long-term forecasts are still far from accurate

Crows are black birds, and they are very ugly. But
they are also very clever. Or perhaps, since they
have extremely long lives, they have time in which
to collect a great deal of information. For instance,
they have developed an excellent method of getting
walnuts out of their shells. The first stage was to
drop them from a height. If they fell on a soft surface
they didnt break; if they fell on a hard surface like a
road, they often did. If they didnt, however, passing
cars would crush the walnuts. But one problem
remained.
It is difficult for a crow to eat crushed walnuts when
a lot of cars are passing. In the end, this problem,
too, was solved. They started to drop the walnuts
just
ahead of the traffic lights.
7.) From the passage, we learn ----.

Its hard to find a native tree or plant in Fiji thats not


used by native Fijians for its medicinal properties.
Herbal medicine is not the alternative here, but the
norm. Villagers possess an immense knowledge of
the plants around them and their uses. These have
been accumulated over thousands of years and
passed from generation to generation. If you fall or
suffer a bit of indigestion on a village tour, youll
soon be offered a remedy. It might not taste good
but, chances are, itll work. One of Fijis most
intriguing sources of herbal remedies is the noni
tree. It is an evergreen and grows up to 7 metres
tall; it produces a nasty smell and bitter tasting fruit.
While decidedly
disgusting to many of our senses, noni juice is
gaining growing approval from consumers around
the world for its ability to help, among many other
things, relieve arthritis, rheumatism, digestive
disorders, and even the effects of ageing.

One surprising truth about hypocrisy is its relevance,


contrary to widespread belief. The fact that
someone is a hypocrite does not necessarily mean
that his or her position on an issue is false.
Environmentalists who throw rubbish and litter do
not disprove the claims of environmentalism.
Politicians who publicly oppose illegal immigration
but privately employ illegal immigrants in their
companies do not thereby prove
that contesting illegal immigration is wrong. Even if
every animal-rights activist is exposed as a secret
meat eater, it still might be wrong to eat meat. More
generally, just because a person does not have the
strength to live up to his or her own standards does
not mean that such standards are not praiseworthy
and worth trying to meet. It therefore seems that
charges of hypocrisy have nothing to do with the
issues themselves.

10.) The passage is largely about ----.


A) the medicinal properties of trees and plants in Fiji
B) the way of life of the people of Fiji
C) why the medicinal properties of the trees and
plants of Fiji are distrusted by most of the world
D) the increase in interest in the properties of the
noni tree outside of Fiji
E) plans to grow the noni tree elsewhere in the
World

13.) Based on the passage, we may conclude


that -.
A) hypocrisy is something every individual may have
to face in his or her life
B) doing exactly what one says deserves a word of
praise from everyone
C) doing the opposite of what one claims should not
discredit an idea
D) charges of hypocrisy should not be levelled at
people who are hypocrites
E) one's position on an issue is determined by what
he or she actually does

11.) The writer of the passage ----.


A) doesnt believe that the remedies the Fijians offer
can bring any relief
B) has a positive attitude towards the local
remedies of the Fijians
C) admires the Fijians for collecting so much
knowledge about trees and plants, but thinks it is all
useless
D) thinks that some of the remedies proposed may
be dangerous

activist to eat meat
E) the wish to live up to one's own standards is itself
praiseworthy
15.) As can be inferred from the passage, when
someone ' s words and actions do not match,
we
A) had better check the validity of the idea

E) can still try to s e e the good in his words

Fertility rates in the West had been falling for more


than a century, and so following World War II,
demographers expected only a modest increase.
What happened instead was "the baby boom".
Since
then, scientists have been arguing about the
causes. The best-known explanation comes from
economist Richard A. Easterlin of the University of
Southern
California. He argues that the baby boom resulted
from the unprecedented mix of three developments:
an expansion of the economy, restricted immigration
since the mid-1920s, and a relatively small group of
new job seekers because of low fertility in the late
1920s and 1930s. This combination created
unusually good job prospects for young people after
World War II, and so feeling more prosperous than
their parents, they married earlier and had more
children.

Mountains have always evoked awe and inspired


artists and adventurers throughout human
existence. More recent research has led to
important new insights into how mountains, the
most magnificent of
the Earth's formations, came to be the way they are.
Mountains are created and shaped, it now appears,
not only by the movements of the vast tectonic
plates
that make up the Earth's exterior but also by factors
such as climate and erosion. In particular, the
interactions between tectonic, climatic and erosional
processes exert strong control over the shape and
maximum height of the mountains as well as the
amount of time necessary to build - or destroy a
mountain range. Paradoxically, the shaping of
mountains seems to depend as much on the
destructive forces of erosion as on the constructive
power of tectonics.

16.) It can be inferred from the passage that -.


A) population growth in the past enabled the present
economic growth
B) scientists have suggested various ways to stop
"the baby boom"
C) high fertility rates in the West were the cause of
World War II
D) it is not always easy to explain population growth
as there are various factors to consider
E) fertility rates tend to increase after great disasters
such as wars

19.) As it is stated in the passage , recent


research has
A) created more questions about the way
mountains were formed
B) shown why mountains look so magnificent on the
face of the Earth
C) enabled us to have better ideas about how
mountains are shaped
D) demonstrated that tectonic plates move usually
in one direction
E) confirmed what we already knew about mountain
formations

17.) As it is stated in the passage, "the baby


boom"
A) resulted from a mixture of developments that
happened during the war
B) occurred just before World War II broke out
C) had a negative effect on the prosperity of people
D) could be explained by the number of people of
marrying age
E) was the result of unusually good job prospects
18.) The reason why young people married early
and had more children is that they -.
A) felt much better off economically than their
parents
B) learnt many people died unnecessarily in World
War II
C) saw that there were very few people looking for
jobs
D) thought their children would find well-paid jobs
E) wanted to contribute to the welfare of the world
by having more children

20.) The movements of tectonic plates, the


climate and erosion are factors -.
A) responsible for all the interactions that occur on
the Earth's exterior
B) that are effective in the shaping and creation of
mountains
C) that help mountains reach great heights
D) that collectively form the interior of the Earth
E) in creating the most magnificent views on the
Earth
21. We can understand from the passage that
the destructive f o r c e s of erosion and the
constructive power of tectonics -.
A) are paradoxical powers that destroy mountains
B) can create mountain ranges with different
climates
C) both play an equal role in the formation of
mountains
D) take an equal amount of time to build a mountain
E) are not sufficient to build mountain ranges

Essentially, memory is the process of learning


information, storing it, and then having the ability to
recall it when needed - whether to solve problems,
tell stories, or save yourself on the witness stand.
Learning begins with those power connections in
your brain: neurons firing messages to one another.
Your ability to process information is determined by
the junctions between those neurons, called
"synapses". The ability of brain cells to speak to one
another is strengthened or weakened as you use
them. Essentially, the more you use those
synapses, the stronger they get and the more
rapidly they increase. That's why you may have
strong neural pathways for your family history or
weak ones for
1980s music trivia. That also gives you a little insight
into how you remember things. If something is
exciting to you, then you learn it faster - and train
those synapses to make stronger connections.
22.) According to the passage, memory is used
to -.
A) receive, retain and remember information
B) learn how to save yourself on the witness stand
C) find out whether problems can be solved or not
D) tell stories in order to make others laugh
E) provide someone with the ability to memorize
23.) The term " s y n a p s e s " refers to -.
A) the process of being able to speak to one
another
B) the messages sent from one part of the body to
another
C) the ability of the brain to heal itself
D) processes that take place outside the brain
E) the connections between message-firing neurons

Many bilingual individuals say they feel like a


different person depending on which language they
are speaking. A new study lends credibility to their
claims. Nairan Ramirez at the University of Texas
charted the personality traits of 225 Spanish/English
bilinguals in both the US and Mexico as they
responded to questions presented in each
language.
She found three significant differences: when using
English, the bilinguals were extroverted, agreeable
and more conscientious than when using Spanish.
Bilingual individuals can assume different roles
depending on environmental cues. To show that
changes in personality can be triggered by
something as subtle as language suggests that
personality is
more flexible than is widely expected. The results
are significant in that they document the contextual
nature of personality. Given the increasing number
of bilingual people, it is important to develop a beter
understanding of bilingual minds.
175. According to the study, an individual's
personality
A) is influenced by how well they can speak their
native language
B) can be understood by asking what language they
speak
C) tends to be unchanging if they live in the US
D) tells a lot about his/her aptitude to learn a
language
E) can show variations within the context of the
language they use

24. We can learn from the p a s s a g e that -.
A) the ability of brain cells to send messages to one
another hardly ever changes
B) the more you use synapses, the weaker they
become
C) you tend to remember your family history as
equally as things you find uninteresting
D) there is a correlation between the frequency of
using junctions and recalling information
E) the ability to process information is determined by
the physical size of the brain.
