1. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Autonomous underwater vehicles are small, pilotless submarines that can be equipped with sensors of various kinds and programmed to carry out observations within the ocean. . For example, the current quest to identify deep-sea hydrothermal vents within the Arctic Ocean cannot be carried out by a piloted deep-sea vehicle because of the dangers involved.

In some instances, they provide the only reasonable means to obtain the desired information

They are being used everywhere to carry out work that is dull or dirty

It is not at all easy to manoeuvre heavy equipment towed from a ship at the end of a lengthy cable

More traditional oceanographic tools have also certain advantages

One such will prospect for hydrothermal sites by crisscrossing the ocean above them

2. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? The new company manager has introduced a number of revolutionary changes, and he underlines the difference between what used to be and what is, now. . Now we ask what is required to capture an opportunity and then either try to get those skills by alliances or develop them internally to fit.

Ambitious younger managers can always be counted on to offer useful suggestions, he says

A new openness towards external partners should result in valuable deals, he says

Divisional managers must think in terms of the group as a whole, he says

We shall have to introduce a great many cuts in order to reduce overheads, he says

We used to start by identifying our core competences and then looking for market opportunities, he says

3. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Proposals to ban the pesticide DDT by 2007 have been dropped as it seemed likely that this would have an adverse affect on efforts to fight malaria. . Before that can happen, however, the poor countries must be helped to find and adopt suitable alternatives. Otherwise, the spread of malaria will continue uncontrolled.

In some quarters, it is believed that DDT is actually not as harmful as it was once believed

It is still agreed, however, that DDT must, eventually, be banned

The various countries negotiating to limit persistent organic pollutants were all agreed on this

Obviously, there are many safer insecticides

The draining of mosquito breeding areas has also been effective in the control of malaria

4. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Non-lethal weapons could offer the prospect of a less violent world where lethal force is only a last resort. But not everyone welcomes them. . But the strongest objections come from civil rights protesters.

Non-lethal weapons are typically given names that make them sound acceptable

Language is sometimes designed to mislead, as is the case with rubbercoated bullets which are steel bullets, the size of a marble, with a very thin rubber coat

The term non-lethal is not strictly accurate as any weapon can kill

Thus, demonstrations can be swiftly broken up and the voice of dissent silenced

One group to protest is the military forces themselves who are not keen to exchange familiar weapons for untried technology

5. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? To open a newspaper today is to be confronted by an avalanche of everworsening crises. . In fact, the list is endless.

Unfortunately, the larger institutions that cannot easily be called to account, are taking precedence over their smaller, more ecological-based competitors

The task of overcoming them seems so utterly overwhelming that most of us simply try to ignore them

At the heart of our problems is an economic system that alienates people from nature

These range from global warming to the extinction of a whole species, and from the destruction of cultures to rising job insecurity

The need to provide our children with a sense of security and identity is therefore gaining in importance

6. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Glasgow is now the largest city in Scotland and, indeed, is home to a quarter of the population of Scotland. This, however, has not always been the case. . After 1707, it grew at a phenomenal rate both as an international port and as a major industrial centre.

The University of Glasgow is one of the best in the country

The name probably means dear green place

There is a cathedral and other ecclesiastical institutions in the city

For a long time it was simply a small market town

It is situated on the river Clyde and ringed by wind-swept moorlands

7. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? In Japan, the brighter economic picture of the first 6 months of 2002 failed to carry over into the second half of the year. . This was no doubt influenced by rising unemployment which is now at a record high.

External demand supported Japans exporters to some degree, but the domestic market was at a low ebb

The year 2003 will doubtless be another difficult year for the Japanese economy

Recovery looks like being slow

This uncertainty gave rise to a cut in interest rates

Once global investor confidence returns, equity markets will, in all likelihood, start to perform well again

8. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Satellite tracking of sharks has at last put an end to a 50-year-old assumption about their habits. . Instead, they travel vast distances all year round in search of zooplankton, their favorite food.

Our knowledge concerning the habits of sharks has increased immensely during this period

Some assumptions never do get tested

In this respect sharks are quite unlike whales

It has now been finally established that they do not hibernate

Such an assumption was easy enough to discredit

9. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? For many of the worlds crucial arable lands, the availability of water is the single greatest threat to yields. . One way to ensure this is drip irrigation which delivers water direct to the plants roots. It is unfortunately, far more expensive than flood irrigation.

Actually, certain minor changes could greatly improve the efficiency of many of the worlds largest irrigation systems

Moreover, the monitoring of soil moisture can also be useful

Agricultural researchers are working to develop strains of rice that require less water

In certain areas the food eaten by livestock comes from irrigated fields

It is therefore essential that loss water is wasted

10. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Germany is now the sick man of the European Union. Since 1996 it has averaged growth of just 1.1% a year compared with 2.2% in the euro zone as a whole. . A country which boasted unemployment of just 150,000 in 1970 may have 5 million people out of work by the end of the year.

In fact, Germany is the largest financier of the European Union

The figures show that Germany is still the third largest economy in the world

The country is richer per head than the EU average

For almost three years the economy has barely grown at all

In the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin wall, Germany did seem poised to emerge as the new Europes unrivalled powerhouse

11. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? In 1912, a German weatherman named Alfred Wegener declared that all the continents of the world had once been joined together and were now drifting around the face of the Earth like giant rafts. At first, Wegeners claim attracted little interest. Most would have given up, but not Wegener. . When this still failed to provoke a reaction, he brought out a second edition. That did it. Many of the worlds top experts on geology gradually began to agree with him.

A decade later, he died, and his mad idea died with him

He published a small book on continental drift in 1915

But by the early 1960s, geologists were discovering evidence to support his theory

He was right about continental drift but unable to explain why it happened

Today, continental drift is regarded as a science and is routinely taught at universities

12. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? On 5 December 1952, Londoners received a rude awakening. They opened their curtains to find a choking dark cloud hanging over their city: a corrosive mixture of fog and smoke and gas. . That week there were more deaths in London than at the height of the cholera epidemic of 1866.

For some inexplicable reason the fog stayed for the next four days causing an epidemic of bronchitis

Indeed, air-pollution had never been regarded as a serious matter

Even so, it was not until 1956 that the Clean Air Act came into force

Consequently, smokeless zones were established to reduce domestic sources of smoke, and in these only smokeless fuels could be burnt

Those four, dark smoky days marked a turning point in public and political thinking about pollution

13. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? When tourists eventually start arriving in space they will need somewhere to stay. . A threeday stay at these hotels will cost roughly £40,000, but they are confident the public will be prepared to pay.

They are hoping to produce a reusable rocket large enough to carry three people 100 km into space and back

Scientists and researchers worldwide were consequently trying to make space tourism affordable

Orbiting space hotels have already been designed by a Japanese construction giant and a group of international hotel architects

A notable reduction in prices finally opened up the aviation industry to the general public

The problem is not simply to launch people into space but to see that they remain comfortable throughout the flight

14. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? About seven out of ten fires are due to the hand of man, either accidental or deliberate, one to products and processes of materials, and the remaining two to defects in buildings. The most dangerous products in the home are plastics and rubber, which give off highly toxic fumes when burning. Video cassettes and foambacked carpets are major culprits. .

The number of fire deaths has shown a steady fall in recent years, but the risk of a blaze can never be ruled out

If a means of escape does not exist, these hot gases develop a pressure on the walls of the upper parts of the structure

When an opening is made to reach the fire, the admission of oxygen causes these gases to explode

Once air is heated, it becomes lighter, rises and seeks escape through any openings that may be available

Although the foam used in furniture is now treated so that it is less flammable, it still helps to spread the blaze

15. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? For many centuries before the coming of the first Europeans, Arabs had been trading with the island of Madagascar, and had established various settlements on the coast . During the ensuing three centuries, sporadic attempts at colonization were made by both Dutch and French, especially the latter. In 1642, after the French had been in touch with the island for more than a century, a French company was established to trade with the island, and in 1643 Fort Dauphin was founded on the southeast coast.

But in 1500, the island was discovered by the Portuguese, and thus attracted Europeans

It was not until the last years of the 18th century that the island had been relatively colonized

In 1840-41, the French navy occupied the island Nossi-Bé, close to the north-western coast of Madagascar

In the 18th century, French commercial contact with the island was fairly continuous

Historically, the island had the status of an overseas territory within the French Union

16. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? There is a popular theory that suggests we only use 10 per cent of our brain, and that if we could just find a way to tap the other 90 per cent it might be employed in the important question of how it works. . A recent spate of studies shows that all areas of the brain are active when performing day to- day functions and there is no 90 per cent that remains untapped.

There are countless other ways in which the human brain is unique

Unfortunately, this theory has turned out to be wrong

We should also remember that other animals are clever too, though in different ways

Another theory tries to account for the fact that we are suspicious of others motives

This explains why, unlike other animals, we are able to ignore the selfish dictates of our genes

17. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? The fundamental characteristics of suicide bombing, and its strong attraction for the terrorist organizations behind it, are universal. . They guarantee media coverage. The suicide terrorist is the ultimate smart bomb.

By any measure 2000 was an astonishing year for Israel in terms of suicide bombings

The early years of suicide terrorism were in many ways simpler

Suicide bombing initially seemed the desperate act of lone individuals

A person wearing a bomb is far more dangerous than a timed device left to explode in a marketplace

They are less complicated than other kinds of terrorist operations

18. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? A new guide to the European Union has recently come on the market. It explains how the EU has developed and what the single market means for business. . No other guide deals so comprehensively with how the EU operates and why.

It thus gives a complete overview of all the problems now facing the EU

These are all ideas that have influenced the approach to business management

Forecasting techniques similarly receive detailed attention

New financial markets have recently become available

Further, it discusses the implications of monetary and economic union since Maastricht

19. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? A recent survey carried out by the UK lecturers union shows that almost a quarter of respondents rate their academic freedom as limited, poor or non-existent. . In 30% of cases, that pressure had come from the organization paying for the research.

Researchers in every sector know that they must get positive results into journals

Most worrying is the results of this loss of integrity on medical research

Some researchers said they had been pressurized to alter results, delay their publication or even bury them

The public loss of confidence in science has reached serious proportions and must be faced squarely

Those with access to the truth are too often those with most to gain from avoiding it

20. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Zambias people have a literacy rate of 78%, which is high compared with many poor African countries. However, it has only one library, one university and no television stations. Its economy is very limited, with copper mining accounting for over 80% of the countrys foreign currency intake. .

Even so, in 2001, its president, Chiluba, contemplated changing the constitution to allow him to run for another presidential term

In fact, it has an annual industrial growth rate of only 1 per cent

Early humans inhabited presentday Zambia two million years ago

In 1972, Kenneth Kaunda, the first president of the country, outlawed all opposition political parties

In 1924, the British government took over the administration of the region

21. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? The United States contains more fat people than any other nation. . Some nine million Americans are now morbidly obese, meaning roughly a hundred pounds or more overweight.

Sixty-four per cent of American adults are presently overweight, as opposed to forty-seven percent in 1980

Obesity may soon surpass both hunger and infectious disease as the worlds most pressing publichealth problem

In parts of the developing world, slimness has supplanted plumpness as a mark of social status and sexual desirability

Pockets of obesity can be found in underdeveloped countries, particularly in urban areas

In 2000, for the first time in history, the number of overweight people in the world matched the number of underweight people

22. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Art forgery is an interesting occurrence. . For the imitation to succeed in fooling us, it must resemble one or more things that we have been led to believe are originals. Without something to mimic, the fake could not exist.

Moreover, notions of what constitutes value in a work of art are notably subjective

Since it relies on camouflage and deception, it is an act that is both daring and self-denying

Similarly, no one motive directs a forgers actions

Indeed, the first recorded case of art forgery involved Albrecht Dürer and an Italian artist of his time

Two and a half centuries of classical-art scholarship have given experts an array of reliable tools with which to assess forgery

23. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? In the United States, in the two years since September 11th, 2001, we have had to become accustomed to an array of new and previously inconceivable security measures. . With every new threat to international security, we become more willing to live with stringent precautions, and our everyday life becomes more restricted.

They are accepted because we feel more vulnerable than before

Terrorism is meant to produce psychological effects that reach far beyond the immediate victims of the attack

Americas enemies are marshalling their resources to continue the struggle that crystallized on September 11th

No society, least of all the United States, can regard itself as immune from the threat of terrorism

Most people in the world believe that their governments and security forces will protect them from terrorist attacks

24. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? The ability to recognize people automatically by analyzing bodily characteristics such as fingerprints, faces and eyeballs known as biometrics has long been a goal of both technologists and governments. . Both America and Europe plan to start issuing biometric passports as soon as next year.

Lobby groups have campaigned against biometrics on the grounds that they would invade privacy

Biometric technology has been around for quite some time, but has not been widely adopted

The introduction of biometric identity documents cannot be considered for a long time since it would be so expensive

Plans for projects to incorporate biometric scans into passports, identity cards and visas are now under way in several countries

Biometrics could undermine security by providing a sense of false security

25. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Until the development of the first scientific dating techniques around the beginning of the last century, dating in archaeology depended almost entirely on historical methods. . Such dating methods are still of immense value today.

For instance, excavations in Egypt at the end of the 19th century brought to light pottery of Aegean origin

In the ancient world, literate societies such as these recorded their own history in written documents

The chronological system requires even more careful reconstruction, and any list of rulers or kings needs to be reasonably complete

Other areas of Mesoamerica had their own calendars which operated on similar lines

That is to say, it relied on archaeological connections with chronologies and calendars that people in ancient times had themselves established
