Diyalog Tamamlama 5

1. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Mary : What I look for in an airline company is a punctual take-off and a punctual landing. June : ---- Mary : And why not? June : Think about it! Something as common as bad weather can lead to delays. Would you care to take off in a hurricane?

What I look for is flight safety.

But face it; thats not always possible.

For long flights they now provide beds in business class.

However hard they try to please the passengers, I get bored!

You are hard to please, arent you?

2. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Sue : Did you know that there are three types of zip and that each is used in a different way? Jane : ---- Sue : For instance, chain zips, largely suitable for luggage, have metal teeth and are, therefore, very strong. Jane : I see. I didnt know that.

As far as I know, there are chain zips, coil zips and concealed zips. Right?

What about coil zips? Ive read something about them; they are lighter and synthetic.

Really? Can you give me an example and say where it can be used?

Well, some are ideal for fine fabrics and others are for stronger ones.

Does that mean that some of them break easily?

3. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? James : Have you been to the Dali exhibition? Rodney : _____ James : Why is that? Rodney : I dont like being caught up in a crowd when Im looking at paintings.

I certainly have. And I hope to go again soon.

Not yet. I dont go to such exhibitions till theyve been going for some time.

I was there at the opening. What about you?

Yes. I was surprised at how few large paintings there were.

Of course. And it was quite an experience.

4. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Clare : Whats the matter with you? Youre not your usual self! Kate : I know Im not. This report Im doing is getting me down. Clare : _____ Kate : No; thank goodness. But the deadline is near.

So thats the trouble. Is there still much left to be done?

The trouble with you is that youre a perfectionist.

When are you expected to hand it in?

Would you like me to go over it for you?

But it was nearly finished last week, wasnt it?

5. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Fred : Have you read this article on the economies of the Middle Eastern countries? Mike : No, not yet. Anything interesting in it? Fred : _____ Mike : Thats to be expected. After all, Iran is the second-largest producer of oil in OPEC.

Well, Irans nuclear aims seem to have increased international tension.

To my surprise, 50% of Irans revenue comes from its oil exports.

Clearly, the global economy is suffering heavily from the current US economic crisis.

Just one point: every day, the world spends around $5.5 billion at current price levels on crude oil purchases.

It seems that China, India, and Japan have become the primary markets for the Middle Easts oil and gas.

6. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Steve : According to this latest report on Afghanistan, its not safe for aid agencies to work there. Ken : How come? There is a strong NATO force there to provide security. Steve : _____ Ken : So, it seems that the NATO-led attempts to bring peace to this country have already failed.

You know that the aims of the NATO intervention in this country have been clearly defined.

Indeed, northern Afghanistan remains reasonably peaceful and open to trade.

Sure, but a large part of the country, especially the troublesome southern parts, are controlled by rebel groups.

In fact, for this country to achieve peace and security, there is an urgent need for more foreign involvement.

Actually, several nations have helped to build roads, bridges, and other important facilities.

7. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Tim : A recent study has found that, in the oilproducing Arab countries in the Middle East, a quarter of the population lives below the poverty line, defined by the World Bank as earning less than $2 per day. Tony : Unbelievable. Despite record oil profits for those countries? Tim : _____ Tony : In that case, one can say that Arab governments have been negligent of their social responsibility.

Yes, indeed. In fact, this clearly shows that the current oil boom has not benefited the average Arab citizen at all.

It is true that higher oil prices allow governments to avoid making difficult decisions.

Moreover, massive infrastructure and housing projects have been undertaken.

So far, open economies have done much beter than the closed ones.

For instance, in the Gulf states, rising real estate prices have pushed up rents and housing costs.

8. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? John: For our investments, we should consider tourism as a new area. Edmund: Agreed. In fact, tourism has now become the worlds biggest industry. John: _____ Edmund: I certainly think so. Therefore, it is of vital importance for the economies of many of the worlds poorest nations.

Moreover, travel enriches ones life. Dont you agree?

Actually, it fuels economic growth, doesnt it?

Do you believe that travelling broadens our experience of the world?

Furthermore, tourism enables people to explore other cultures and geographies. Right?

Yes, true. Yet, worldwide mobility because of tourism has its drawbacks. Do you agree?

9. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Liz : Do you think the Russian invasion of Georgia will do lasting damage to Russias relations with the EU? Brian : In the short term, tensions will be high, but before long things will settle down smoothly again. Liz : How can you be so positive? Brian : _____

Russias decision last year to reduce gas supplies to Europe was based on economic considerations rather than on any political aim.

Russia has always shown a keen interest in European politics and often tries to influence it to its own advantage.

The response of France has been to construct several new nuclear power stations.

If were to live side by side, there must be a good measure of trust.

Very simple. Russia needs European goods and technology as much as Europe needs Russian gas.

10. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Richard : Ive been reading about the ancient Egyptians lately. Antony : How interesting! Anything particularly drawing your attention? Richard : It is claimed by some linguists that the early Egyptian language might represent the survival of a root language from which the other languages of the Afro-Asiatic group evolved in the past. Antony : _____

Possible. In fact, the language of the ancient Egyptians has for long been a matter of debate among linguists.

Actually, as you may remember, the first known permanent settlement in Egypt dates back to approximately 4750 B.C.

You know that the patterns of development in ancient Egypt differed greatly from those of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia.

It is true that, due to the Nile, ancient Egypt was able to forge a cultural and political unity.

You must recall that the Egyptian system of pictographic writing, called hieroglyphs, has always fascinated modern scholars.

11. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Judy : What do you know about John Stuart Mill? Tom : As far as I can recall, he was the most committed and influential defender of personal liberty in Victorian Britain in the 19th century. Judy : _____ Tom : Indeed, he was. He wrote many essays on womens political rights.

Agreed. In his On Liberty, he defended individual freedom in the face of the state and the tyranny of the majority.

I know his On Liberty became one of the defining texts of Western liberalism.

He strongly argued that human freedom was essential to social progress.

Yet, for me, more importantly, he was a dedicated supporter of suffrage for women.

Historically, the Reform Bill of 1867 in Britain marked the high point of British liberalism.

12. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? John : By the way, can you tell me what the expression the scramble for Africa means? Harry : Oh, I thought you knew it, since you are seriously interested in the history of Africa. John : _____ Harry : Well, it is about the colonization of Africa. It indicates the scope and speed with which the major European powers, excited by stories of rubber forests and rich diamond mines, conquered and colonized Africa in the 19th century.

For instance, I know that in 1884 a conference, attended by the representatives of the European colonial powers, was held in Berlin to settle the matter of control over the Congo River basin.

It has been pointed out that by the 1830s the French had created a general government of their possessions in Algeria.

I am afraid I dont. I came across it in an article I was reading yesterday. There was no explanation given.

Actually, the colonial powers partition of Africa in the 19th century was the most striking instance of European imperialism.

According to some eyewitness reports, in the colonies, Africans worked in appalling conditions, with no medicine or sanitation and too little food.

13. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Liz : I am puzzled about why declining birth rates in the West have been accompanied by growing populations of older adults. Susan : You are right. Actually, it is a very complicated issue, and there is a wide range of reasons for it. Liz : _____ Susan : I dont know where to start. I think one obvious reason is improved standards of health care.

Thank you so much. Ill take your advice and do some research on the subject.

Exactly. You can perhaps outline some of them for me.

I believe a new type of demographic crisis different from this confronts Western governments.

One can definitely see that globalization has a serious impact on the worlds population.

Especially Asias population as a whole has increased nearly four times over since 1900.

14. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Harriet : I am writing an article about the Cold War period. There is a great deal of material I have to deal with. Ares : I suggest you focus on a specific topic rather than giving a general account. Harriet : _____ Ares : So, your article will, I am sure, arouse a great deal of interest in academic and political circles.

Right. I will demonstrate how the Cold War has given way to more complex global relations.

You know the Eastern European revolutions of 1989 brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Especially the Soviet Unions increasingly severe domestic problems led to mounting protests in Russia in 1991.

Everyone knows that the Iron Curtain had established one of the most rigid borders in European history.

In my opinion, since the end of the Cold War, adapting to change has been difficult throughout Eastern Europe.

15. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Isabel : Here is an interesting article on Byzantine learning. Have you seen it? Fred : Let me have a look. No, I havent, but it does seem interesting. Isabel : _____ Fred : Well, we know from history that, in education, Byzantine schools based their instruction on classical Greek literature.

In fact, Byzantine achievements in art and architecture have always been admired.

Evidently, Byzantine scholars were very interested in the politics of ancient Greece.

As it has been argued by most historians, religion dominated Byzantine life.

One can point out that inventiveness was highly prized in Byzantine culture.

It gives a full account of the Byzantine interest in classical Greek literature.

16. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Susan: Do you know that every year 130 million tonnes of Americas trash ends up in landfills? Harry: Oh, yes, I certainly do, and more than that. Susan: _____ Harry: Well, together all these landfills emit more of the greenhouse gas methane than any other human-related source.

Is it true that some American building companies use inorganic refuse such as metals in roadbeds and heavy construction?

Do you mean engineers have developed an efficient way of dealing with trash?

What do you mean exactly? You seem to be implying something.

America produces more trash than any other country in the world, doesnt it?

Dont you think such a huge volume of trash can be processed to produce electricity?

17. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Bill: As a firm, we are doing our best for fuel improvement. Bob: Indeed, we must develop new technologies to reduce the environmental impact of gasoline and diesel. Bill: _____ Bob: Yes, of course. Also you know we have already developed an innovative formula designed to help reduce fuel consumption.

Have other firms been investing in long-term solutions like hydrogen fuel?

Can you tell me how we can produce fuels from lots of different sources in order to meet the growing demand?

Dont you think the solution is a combination of cleaner fuels and cleaner engines?

How can we produce lead-free and low-sulphur fuels?

Is the burning of coal and gas for lighting, heating, and cooking one of the causes of local air pollution?

18. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Mary: The other day I was reading an interesting article on the Black Death. Tony: You mean the terrible plague that devastated Europe in the 14th century? Mary: _____ Tony: Also throughout villages, towns and cities. As a result, the population of Europe was cut nearly in half.

Right. I didnt know that its effects were worst in confined places like hospitals, prisons, and monasteries.

According to a contemporary account, the city of Florence lost 96,000 people between March and October of 1348.

European men and women were convinced that the plague had been sent as a divine punishment.

However, as one learns from the article, the plague did not last long, but actually began to dissipate by 1351.

I feel that more study must be made of the social and political impact the plague had on medieval Europe in general.

19. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Malcolm: I believe a great deal of research needs to be made of Martin Luther King and his ideas. Jacob: I fully agree with you, since he was the preeminent figure in the civil rights movements started by blacks in the United States during the 1960s. Malcolm: _____ Jacob: On the contrary. Fundamentally, he aspired to a fully integrated nation of all the Americans.

Before King, various civil rights groups in America had started to organize boycotts and demonstrations to condemn racial discrimination against blacks in all walks of life.

Unfortunately, his inspiring career as a defender of civil rights in America was tragically ended by assassination in 1968.

In fact, civil rights laws passed under President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s did bring American blacks some measure of equality with regard to voting rights.

Yes, of course. Yet, hes been accused of seeking complete independence from white society.

As you know, the civil rights movements of the 1960s in America clearly showed the chasm between the egalitarian promises of American democracy and the real inequalities at the core of American social and political life.

20. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Winston: What does the term global village really mean? Stanley: Oh, well, it is essentially related to the global flow of information. Winston: _____ Stanley: Alright, I will try. Beginning in the 1990s, increasingly sophisticated computers have brought people into instant communication over the internet with each other across continents in new cultural and political settings, and this has had a great impact on the everyday lives of men and women around the world.

In other words, are you suggesting that advances in electronic technologies have provided new worldwide platforms and connections for commercial interests?

Do you mean the wide-ranging effects of information technologies on political struggles around the globe?

Are you saying that electronic systems and devices designed to create, store and share information have become more powerful and accessible?

Are you claiming that embattled ethnic minorities have found worldwide audiences through on-line campaign sites?

What does that exactly mean? Can you be more specific?

21. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? John: Good morning, Christine. By the way, have you seen this article on North Korea? Christine: Ive just come to the office. You know mornings are always a rush. Tell me what the main argument is. John: _____ Christine: Besides that, there may also be other hidden reasons such as the provision of nuclear weapons to international terrorist groups.

Let me tell you this: historically, at the end of World War II, the Soviet Union occupied the northern part of the Korean peninsula, while the Americans held the south.

You know that, after the loss in 1991 of Soviet patronage, the isolated North Korean government faced a very serious economic disaster, with verified reports of local starvation in some regions of the country.

It emphasizes that the North Korean government has pursued the development of a nuclear arsenal not for self-defence, but as a bargaining chip against Japan and the United States.

As you may recall, in June 1950, the communist North Korean troops attacked across the border that divided the Korean peninsula and crushed resistance in the south.

Agreed. Yet Japan and the Western states have always feared that North Korea may be secretly helping Iran and other rogue states to develop nuclear weapons.

22. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Terence: It is a fact that the overseas maritime explorations in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries improved our knowledge of geography tremendously. Jim: Well, we all know it. Why do you bring it up? Terence: _____ Jim: Naturally, the same view was held by the Church and also the crusaders.

Ancient geographers divided the earth into five climatic zones that are still recognized today.

Actually, in antiquity, geography owed most of its development to the Hellenistic astronomer Eratosthenes.

The amazing thing is that, by means of sundials placed some hundreds of miles apart, the astronomer Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the earth.

For the simple reason that the world was understood differently and wrongly in the Middle Ages. For instance, medieval geographers regarded Jerusalem as the centre of the earth.

In fact, it was the Hellenistic astronomer and geographer Eratosthenes that first suggested the possibility of reaching eastern Asia by sailing west.

23. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? George: Recently I have been much interested in the social history of the marketplace in medieval England, on which I plan to write a book. Juliet: The social history of the marketplace? It is rather a dull subject, isnt it? George: _____ Juliet: Really? Then I take back what Ive just said. Ill be keenly interested in what you write about it.

Well, in a way, yes. In the past and today, the marketplace was just a site for the buying and selling of commodities.

On the contrary. In fact, the heart of the matter is that the marketplace served as a place to socialize and a forum for interaction among people from all walks of life.

At first glance, it would seem that there are many differences between the marketplaces of the past and the marketplaces of today.

Unfortunately, the stock and commodities exchanges and malls have none of the spirit of the traditional marketplace.

Exactly. It is hard to define the purpose and goal of the marketplace not only in England but also in the rest of Europe.

24. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Fred: I have been doing some research for a paper on the emergence of fascism in Italy. There is a vast amount of material that I have to consult. A tough job. Colleague: I agree. Not an easy one. You know, like many European nations, Italy emerged from World War I at a heavy cost, but surely there were various causes for the rise of fascism in the country. Fred: _____ Colleague: I am sure, as I gather from what you are saying, your paper will provide us with a full account of how Italy turned to fascism.

Under Mussolini, the Italian economy was placed under the management of twenty-two corporations, each responsible for a major industrial enterprise.

In fact, I will mainly focus on how Italy was divided into a prosperous industrialized north and a poor agrarian south.

To tell you the truth, World War I had cost Italy nearly seven hundred thousand lives and over $15 billion.

In my opinion, you are mistaken when you claim that the Italian fascist movement depended heavily on Mussolinis leadership.

Undoubtedly. Among them can be mentioned political corruption, weaknesses of parliamentary democracy, high inflation, rising unemployment, and nationwide strikes.

25. Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak verilmiştir? Harry: Today, at the conference, two professors were involved in a fierce debate about the Marshall Plan. They really got on each others nerves. Janet: Sorry, dear. I know nothing about the Marshall Plan. You must first tell me about it. Harry: _____ Janet: I see. Since it was certainly to the benefit of Europe, I cant understand why the two professors should quarrel about it.

As far as I am concerned, among the most striking aspects of World War IIs aftermath was the speed with which Germany was reintegrated into Europe.

Indeed, the United States countered the expansion of Soviet power and kept communist movements based in Europe.

It was an American programme that started in 1948 and provided $13 billion in aid for the industrial redevelopment and economic recovery of Europe.

The American government forced certain terms on the countries participating in the Marshall Plan such as decontrol of prices, restraints on wages, and balanced budgets.

On the other hand, the Soviets viewed the Marshall Plan as the United States deliberate intervention in Europes affairs and, therefore, strongly objected to it.
