1. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? In the annals of computing, nothing has caused as much disappointment as putting ideas on paper. . However, with the coming of the inkjet printer it was soon possible to print really high-quality images.

For decades, printing computer files was a thankless task for users seeking to reproduce precisely what they saw on their screens

To start with, thermal inkjets were no match for the costlier laser printers that had just been introduced

For all its originality the idea behind the inkjet is far from new

The first inkjet printers were slow, messy machines, but they gradually got better and better

Designers of printers grew more ambitious and they started to want colour, speed and low costs

2. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Most Western industrialized nations have an individualistic orientation, which values independence and self-assertiveness. . They stres the interdependence of people within the community.

There is no internal evidence to suggest this

Individuals in collectivist Asian cultures are even less likely to commit such errors

In contrast, many non-Western cultures have a more collectivist orientation

This is why Americans tend to use psychological traits to describe themselves

Actually, situational factors also play quite an important role

3. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? How common are other civilizations in the universe? This question has fascinated humanity for centuries, but so far no definitive answer has been found. . Chief among these is the confirmation, after a long wait and several false starts, that planets exist outside out solar system.

Most surprising of all is the speed with which life was established on this planet

A number of recent developments have brought the question once again to the fore

So far, astronomers have found no Earth-like planets, but we can be fairly confident that they will do so

In spite of all this activity, researchers have made no positive detections of extraterrestrial signals

The lack of success to date cannot be used to infer that Earth is the only planet with life

4. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Many professions, such as law, rely almost exclusively on the written and oral word. Although engineers also must write and speak well, this alone is insufficient to convey complex engineering information. For this, graphical or visual communication is required. . In addition, it can provide readers with insight they can obtain through no other means.

On the contrary, tables are useful for presenting technical information

As a matter of fact, graphs are prepared from tabulated data

A well prepared graph can accurately communicate a great deal of information in just a few seconds

However, a wide variety of graphs are available to help visualize data

Nevertheless, graphs should have a descriptive title

5. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Compared to its Balkan neighbours, Greece is a wealthy country, but it remains one of the poorer members of the European Union. . Nevertheless, with a nominally capitalist orientation, it has overcome its resemblance to pre-1989 Eastern Europe. Lossmaking state enterprises have been sold off, and inflation and interest rates have fallen. However, unemployment remains high.

It is still a developing economy, with the agriculture and service sectors accounting for two-thirds of its GNP

Still, the Greek islands attract thousands of tourists, many of whom come simply to enjoy the sun and sand and the relaxed pace of life

Accordingly, it now seems poised to become a significant regional power

Furthermore, it has one of the lowest birth rates in Europe

Yet family life and social life are usually one and the same, and tend to revolve around eating out

6. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Headaches are among the most common medical problems. Some people have headaches often, while others hardly ever have them. . However, a change in the pattern or nature of headaches could signal a serious problem and calls for prompt medical attention.

In addition to drugs, which are enormously beneficial in treating diseases, many other treatments can help relieve pain

In general, though headaches may be painful and distressing, they rarely reflect a serious medical condition

Pain is an unpleasant sensation signalling that the body is damaged or threatened with an injury

On the contrary, high blood pressure may produce a throbbing sensation in the head

Actually, pain begins in and around the eyes and begins to affect the whole head

7. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who was to become Victorian Englands most famous woman poet in the nineteenth century, received an unusual education for a woman of her time. Availing herself of her brothers tutor, she studied Latin and Greek. . But as her intellectual and literary powers matured, her personal life became increasingly undermined by ill health. Although, by the age of thirty-nine, she was a prominent woman of letters, she continued to live in semi-seclusion as an invalid in her fathers house, where she occasionally received visitors.

In her later poems, in which she took up the cause of Italian nationalism, she was mostly concerned with the political issues of her time

Once in Italy, she regained much health and strength, bearing and raising a son, to whom she was ardently devoted

Hence, in her early work, she tended to use the visionary modes of Romantic narrative poetry

Moreover, she read voraciously in history, philosophy and literature and began to write poetry from an early age

However, her work fell into disrepute with the modernist reaction against the didacticism and rhetorical excess of Victorian poetry

8. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? The human body changes in many noticeable ways with age. Perhaps the first sign of aging occurs when the eye cannot focus easily on close objects. Often by age 40 or so, many people find it difficult to read without using glasses. . People tend to lose some ability to hear the highest pitched tones. Therefore, older people may find that violin music no longer sounds as exciting as it did when they were young.

Hearing loss may be caused by a mechanical problem in the ear that blocks the conduction of sound

Some hearing tests can detect disorders in the auditory processing areas of the brain

Neural hearing loss may be caused by brain tumours that also damage nearby nerves and the brain stem

People who cant hear well enough may need hearing aids that keep the volume of sound at a suitable level

Hearing also changes with age

9. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? At the beginning of the 1990s, it seemed to all appearances that the US comprehensively dominated global affairs. . Thus, it was described as the lonely superpower. However, that said, the 1990s proved to be a decade of uncertainly and questioning for many Americans. In broad terms, the challenges of the post-Cold War era were as demanding for the US as they were for other countries.

In many respects, the ending of the Cold War was expected to usher in a period of profound uncertainty

The debates about US foreign policy in the post-Cold War period have been shaped by the impact of world events

One of the most frequently used images of US foreign-policy making has been that of contest and struggle

Indeed, the US has always found it difficult to reconcile the issue of world order with national perspectives

It occupied a pre-eminent position in terms of military power, technology and global economic reach

10. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? In recent years, the amount of aid for developing countries has increased, and the price of many drugs has fallen. So why does one third of the worlds population still lack access to proper healthcare? . Many charge high tariffs on life-saving medicines and equipment, sometimes even taxing products that are donated for free.

If these tariffs were lowered, it would dramatically increase access to pharmaceuticals

Thus, even in places where tariffs are waived, other barriers remain

To a large extent, the fault lies with the poor countries themselves

Naturally, it is the right of any nation to raise income as it sees fit

These regulatory constraints are imposed on a wide variety of medical equipment as well as drugs

11. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? No description of embarrassment would be complete without considering the blush. For many of us, it is the hallmark display of embarrassment. . Although the physiology of the blush is not fully understood, we are getting nearer to a better understanding of it.

Their results showed that blushing begins with a sharp increase of blood flow, which is then followed by a slower rise in facial temperature

Although smiling occurs during embarrassment, it has a different appearance from that of amusement

On the other hand, in embarrassment, the lips turn up but without the accompanying action of the crinkling of the eyes

Actually, however, blushing does not necessarily accompany embarrassment, and facial reddening can occur during other physical and emotional states as well

Generally speaking, heart rate and blood pressure tend to rise and fall in many emotional states such as anger, fear and happiness

12. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Ice climbing and rock climbing share some important features. Both use ropes, harnesses, and other specialized equipment for ascending steep granite or blue ice. . A rock climber follows the natural cracks or weaknesses in the rock whereas, with ice tools in each hand, an ice climber has more freedom to blaze a path up and is limited only by the ice conditions and the technology of the tools.

Most ice climbing trips require an arduous trek into the mountains and possibly several nights out in the cold

But, the method of climbing in each case is different

However, climbing itself has always been considered to be very dangerous

There are many tragic stories of climbing accidents

But once you find your footing, ice climbing can become addictive

13. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Norwegians, like the Danes and Swedes, are of Teutonic origin. The Norsemen, also known as Vikings, ravaged the coasts of northwest Europe from the 8th to the 11th century and were ruled by local chieftains. . After 1442, the country was ruled by Danish kings until 1814, when it was united with Sweden in an uneasy partnership.

Despite severe losses in the World War II, it recovered quickly as its economy expanded

Norway became the second largest net oil exporter after Saudi Arabia in 1995

When the World War I broke out, Norway joined with Sweden and Denmark in a decision to cooperate in the joint interest of the three countries

Olaf II Haraldsson became the first effective king of all Norway in 1015 and began converting the Norwegians to Christianity

In the late 20th century, the Labor Party and the Conservative Party seesawed for control, each sometimes having to lead minority governments

14. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? . Traditionally, one of the most important tools used to study cell structures has been the microscope. In fact, cells were not described until 1665, when Robert Hooke examined the cell walls of dead cork cells using a microscope he had made. Hooke used the term cell because the tissue reminded him of the small rooms that monks lived in during that period.

A light microscope can be used to view stained or living cells, but at relatively low resolution

Early biologists thought that the cell consisted of a homogeneous jelly, which they called protoplasm

Lenses in the electron microscopes are actually magnets that bend the beam of electrons

Because cells are so small, scientists have had to be extremely clever in devising methods for studying them

Most of the methods used to prepare and stain cells for observation also kill them in the process

15. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? . What he really seeks, however, are the most meaningful ones, and these vary from one context to another. His words may be grandiose or humble, fanciful or matter of fact, romantic or realistic, archaic or modern, technical or everyday, monosyllabic or polysyllabic.

It is not unusual for a poet also to be a musician

A poet creates new experiences for the reader in which the reader can participate

A frequent misconception of poetic language is that the poet seeks always the most beautiful or noble-sounding words

In the poem Winter Shakespeare is attempting to communicate the quality of winter life around a sixteenth century English country house

Language has many levels and varieties, and poets may choose from them all

16. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? This year a lot of good things have happened in the US economy. US companies have become more competitive, and exports are now booming. This strong export growth is helping to stabilize the trade gap, and slower US demand will bring down imports. . Moreover, long-term interest rates are still low, stock prices are setting records, and the economy continues to grow at a moderate pace.

The biggest danger in the weeks ahead is a US recession, since currency markets began to worry at the end of 2006 that the housing recession could spill over to other areas of the economy

In the meantime, profits from overseas operations and returns on international investments are rising as the gains are translated back into dollars

Some leading economists have forecast that the US dollars value could plunge by a third over the next few years

The US dollar will be somewhat more vulnerable against the euro, given that the European Central Bank will most likely continue to raise interest rates

The dollar is down 3% from a year ago against the Chinese yuan, and futures markets expect an additional 5% decline later in the year

17. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Venezuelas president Hugo Chávez is using his countrys oil wealth to create a sphere of influence in Latin America. He has given his open support to Cuba and funded leftist politicians in Bolivia and Ecuador. . Chávezs growing influence, however, means that a collapse in Venezuela could take much of the continent down with it.

He maintains that the Venezuelan economy should not mainly depend on oil revenues but that more efforts must be made to upgrade the other sectors of the national economy

He is well aware of the fact that, since 2003, stocks in developing economies have averaged gains of 30% annually

Moreover, by buying bonds from Argentina, he has helped stocks there jump tenfold since 2001, thus greatly contributing to the improvement of the countrys economy

He knows that with the Mexican, Asian, and Russian market crashes of the 1990s long forgotten, developing-country stocks in the world keep jumping to all-time highs

He believes that political turmoil elsewhere could be just as devastating for the Venezuelan economy, which is currently doing very well

18. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Laying undersea cable systems is a monumental process. After surveying landing sites, studying seabed geology, and assessing risks, engineers plot a route. . For months, these ships lower the cables thousands of feet to the seabed. In congested spots, engineers use robots to dig trenches for the cable that protect it from wayward anchors and fishing nets. Then crews pull the cable ends above the water and connect them to land-based stations.

One of the new Pacific systems is part of a massive $1.5 billion global network connecting 60 countries

Traditional cross-ocean systems are loops made up of two cables, usually many miles apart

Operators building new cable systems are mindful of the threat of earthquakes and do what they can to avoid it

Then gigantic spools of cable and other gear are loaded on cable-laying vessels

While there are ten major undersea cables linking the US directly with Europe, there are only five cables connecting the US with Asia

19. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders in the world, is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. . Most forms of epilepsy have been assumed to stem from brain tissue scars acquired through trauma, so that molecular approaches to understanding and treating the disease would be fruitless.

It is true that, in developed countries, a principal focus of epilepsy research has been on the causes of the disease

The symptoms of this disease range in severity from mild sensory disruption to recurring seizures and unconsciousness

In addition, not all cases of epilepsy have been fully studied

Moreover, proteins as large as insulin have been proposed as neurotransmitters

On the contrary, a pairing of proteins in neurons may be relevant to the pathogenesis of human epilepsy

20. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? The biggest problems affecting the IMF, the World Bank, and other instruments of globalization concern governance. At both the IMF and the World Bank, voting rights are allocated not according to population but according to economic power, and the various countries representatives are typically finance ministers or members of central banks, not officials with broader outlooks and concerns. . Therefore, the voices of those most affected by globalization are barely audible in discussions about what policies these international bodies should follow.

It is within these same small, elite circles that most of the debate about reforming the international economic architecture occurs

IMF policies have always had a lasting impact on the economies of developing countries

Yet well-managed globalization has enormous potential for improving the lives of people in poor countries

Traditionally, the World Bank has been reluctant to lend money unless the IMF certifies that the country in question has a solid macro-economic framework

If we continue with globalization as it has been managed in the past, the future will not be bright

21. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? Although the European Parliament (EP) cant initiate legislation, it has been granted increased powers under successive European Union (EU) treaties. . Germany has recently proposed strengthening the EPs hand in budgetary matters. Moreover, corporations and citizens groups have been quick to recognize the parliaments increased powers, especially in environmental and consumer protection, and are dispatching more and more lobbyists to it.

In 1997, France successfully petitioned the European Court of Justice to block efforts by the Parliament to meet eleven rather than twelve times annually in Strasbourg

In 1952, Strasbourg was designated the meeting place of the EPs forerunner, known as the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community

On the other hand, the EP holds at least twelve of its sessions in Strasbourg and the rest in Brussels, which is the headquarters of the EU

Last year, the US mission to the EU was enlarged, and the American monitoring of the EPs activities has since increased noticeably

Thus, it can now approve, amend, or veto eighty per cent of the economic and social regulations generated by the European Commission

The town blossomed in the 1600s, during the era of the Great Elector, and then again in the 18th century, when the splendid summer palace, Schloss Sanssouci, was built for Frederick the Great. Potsdam suffered badly in World War II, particularly on April 14 and 15, 1945, when the Allies bombed the town centre.

The Marmorpalais (Marble Palace) is located on the edge of the lake in the Neuer Garten, a park northeast of Potsdams centre

Despite its wartime losses, Potsdam is today one of Germanys most attractive towns

The Schloss Cecilienhof played an important role in history in 1945, when it served as the venue for the Potsdam Conference

The first documented reference to the town dates from A.D. 993; it was later granted municipal rights in 1317

Tourists flock to see the magnificent royal estate, Park Sanssouci, and to stroll in the Neuer Garten

Mountain lovers can make use of the well-developed infrastructure of hostels and shelters, such as those found in the Tatras. The countless lakes of Warmia and Mazuria, collectively known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes, are a haven for water-sports enthusiasts.

Since 1989, many new luxury hotels have been built in Poland and the majority of them belong to international hotel chains

Polands borders have changed continually with the course of history

Bordering the Baltic Sea, Poland is one of the largest countries in Central Europe, with a population of around 39 million

Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is located at the centre of Poland, on the banks of the Vistula River

Although situated on the plains of Central Europe, Poland has an extremely varied landscape

24. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? The Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland are, arguably, among the least-populated countries in Europe. . Away from the main towns and cities lie vast expanses of unspoiled, often wild terrain, from the breathtaking Norwegian fjords to the dense pine forests and clear lakes of Finland. Smaller and largely flat and rural, Denmark shares characteristics with both mainland Europe and Scandinavia proper.

In Norway, Sweden, and Finland, the majority of the population lives in the south, in affluent, modern cities, which are also rich in history and tradition

Sweden is Europes fifth-largest country, with an area about the size of California

Finlands main cities are all served by an efficient railroad system and regular, inexpensive internal flights

Norway is so long and narrow that, if Oslo remained fixed and the rest were turned upside down, it would stretch all the way to Rome

Oslo, Norways capital, is an attractive city of grand Neoclassical buildings, wide boulevards, and green open spaces

25. Aşağıdaki paragrafta boş bırakılan yeri en iyi tamamlayan cümle hangisidir? With more than 600 species of orchids, Nicaragua is prime territory for one of natures most exquisite treasures. The Selva Negra Mountain Resort in the central part of the country boasts at least 140 species in its grounds, with 14 hiking trails that make orchid sightings anything but rare. . The best time to visit this particular region is in the dry season, from February to May, when there is little rain and temperatures are cool.

The dodsoniana, one of these newly identified species, was found just 4 years ago

Five new species have been discovered in recent years in other parts of the country

Selva Negra is situated in a cloud forest an ecosystem ideal for orchids and other air plants

If an orchids growing conditions are gradually modified to acclimatize it to a new location, the plant can make a healthy transition

In fact, the Stanhopea flower looks like a hovering butterfly, and some are very aromatic, with a fragrance of vanilla or hot chocolate
