43. – 46. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. The idea that trillions of bacteria are swarming over your skin and through your body is enough to give anyone the creepy crawlies. The word bacteria at first glance may not recall something functional, but the fact is that they are an essential part of life on earth. Just as humans cannot live without carbon, nitrogen, protection from disease and the ability to fully digest their food, they cannot live without bacteria, said Anne Maczulak, a microbiologist. She adds, the earth would probably still be the barren wasteland as it was 4.6 billion years ago, if bacteria had never showed up. They started

We can gather from the passage that bacteria -----.

everything and could very well end everything just as quickly. Bacteria also play a role cycling another important substance for human life: water. In recent years, scientists from Louisiana State University have found evidence that bacteria represent many, if not most, of the tiny particles that cause clouds to precipitate into falling snow and rain. 43.

It is maintained in the passage that there is close relation between bacteria and ------.



C) despite their economic benefits , their hazards on human life should not be underestimated



A) the formation of many diseases both on humans and animals



D) we still lack the evolutionary evidence on how bacteria have originated



B) various environmental concerns such as the level of precipitation

It is stated in the passage that to Maczulak ------.



A) bacteria are strictly bound to humans in order to survive and reproduce

47. – 50. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız When language becomes a topic of a conversation, most people would consider languages such as English, Spanish or Turkish. But, does language merely comprise the spoken form? Of course not, language is a generic term that refers to the way people pass on information in any way, as do animals and insects. In practice we have a phenomenon called the “non-verbal” or the “body language”, which refers to the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless -mostly visual - cues between people. By

49.

The writer is of the opinion that -----.



A) the origins of language is a matter that has been shrouded in mystery

C) visual cues are rarely manifested when implying a hidden message



D) the correlation between the non-verbal and the verbal language are always in harmony

D) they may provide a better understanding about the insects and animals way of interaction



E) they foster cognitive skills of people and enable them to master any language better

developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body language, you can more easily understand other people, and more efficiently converse with them. There are times when we send mixed messages – we say one thing yet our body language reveals something different. This non-verbal language will affect how we act and react to others, and how they react to us. In the course of maturity, every one of us learns the body signals that are sent by the correspondent and without mastering them no conversation will be effective.

47.

It is maintained in the passage that the non-verbal language ---.



A) is the core of topic when it comes to determining what language is



B) and its use are innate capabilities that we are born with



C) may sometimes leak the true intent of a speaker more than the spoken one



D) and the body language do not always stand for the same thing



E) is a straightforward way of conveying meaning over another

48.

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



A) the attribution of body language is not merely confined to humans



B) without the body language, there can be no conversation between two people

51. – 54. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız The West is blinking in disbelief as Vladimir Putin has just invaded Ukraine. German diplomats, French Eurocrats and American pundits are all stunned, and they must really wonder why Russia has chosen to gamble its trillion-dollar ties with the West. It seems that Russia thinks the West is no longer a crusading alliance, even it is now all about the money. Russia’s rulers have been buying up Europe for years.

54.

The passage mainly deals with ----.



A) what the West is most afraid of when it comes to the Russian affairs

the European establishment now that he knows them all better. They have seen firsthand how Western aristocrats and corporate tycoons suddenly turn when their billions come into play. Russians now view them as hypocrites, who are the same European elites ironically helping them hide their fortunes. Behind European corruption, Russia sees American weakness, and they see America’s control over Europe slowly dissolving. Europe is really run by an elite group with the morality of the hedge fund: Make money at all costs and move it offshore. 51.

In the paragraph, the writer suggests that with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ----.



A) the West is worried that Russian money might be withdrawn back

59. – 62. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız China’s economy has developed significantly in the last three decades, lifting millions of people out of poverty and improving their health. One of the consequences of the country’s economic progress has been an increase in life expectancy at birth from 69 years in 1990 to nearly 75 years in 2010. Also decreases in the infant mortality rate have been notable, which declined from 37 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 17 in 2009, and the under-five mortality rate, which declined from 46 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 19 in 2010. Despite this progress, however, many health issues remain unresolved.
