YABANCI DİL SEVİYE TESPİT SINAVI İNGİLİZCE YDS Derleme 7 1. 2. 3. 4. Bu testte 80 soru vardır. Her soru 1,25 puan değer taşımaktadır. Yanlış cevap doğru seçeneği götürmeyecektir. Sınavın toplam süresini 150 dakikadır NOT: Bu deneme ÖSYM Kurumu tarafından yapılmış sınavlara 2 özgün soru ilavesi ile oluşturulmuştur. Toplam 7252 kelime içeren testimiz, gerekli itina gösterilmeye çalışılsa da, herhangi bir zorluk ayarına tabii tutulmamış olduğundan, büyük ihtimalle sınavda alacağınız notu gösteremeyecektir. Ancak durumun ne olduğunu kabaca görmek isteyenler ve toplu deneme yapan çalışma arkadaşlarım için bir kaynak olarak faydalı olabilir. Mehmet Mamger BAŞARILAR DİLERİM. DENEME NASIL ÇÖZÜLÜR Çoğu kişi maalesef sınava hazırlanmanın önemli bir parametresi olan deneme çözmeyi ciddiye almaz ve onu alıştırma ile karıştırır. Oysa deneme bir konuda ustalaşmak için kullandığımız alıştırmalardan çok farklıdır. Amacı gayet nettir: 1. Seviyenin tespiti 2. İlerleme olup olmadığının tespiti 3. Eksikliklerin tespiti 4. Gerçek sınav için sağlam bir teknik ve yöntem geliştirme Ben bir deneme çözümünde şu altı kıstasın olmazsa olmaz olduğunu düşünenlerdenim: 1. TEK OTURUM, TAM SÜRE: Bir sınav tek oturumda ve araya mola verilmeden çözülmeli. Sınav esnasında bir şey yenilip içilmemeli, tuvalet ve sigara molası da dâhil, araya mola konmamalı. Zira gerçek sınavda bunları yapma şansımız yok. Her mola, denemedeki puanımızı yükseltecek ve durumumuz hakkında gerçekçi olmayan fikirlere sahip olmamızı sağlayacaktır. Eğer İKİ BUÇUK SAATLİK TEK OTURUM yapma şansımız hiç yoksa, verilen her mola için toplam süreden tam 5 dakika kısaltılmalıdır. Üç defadan daha fazla mola verilmiş ise eğer, artık o sınav bir DENEME SINAVI değildir. 2. SINAV BİTMEDEN KONTROL YOK: Tüm sorular bitmeden yapacağınız her kontrol, netinizi yukarı çıkaracak ve durum tespitini imkânsızlaştıracaktır. Oysa gerçek sınavda, mesela 50. sorudayken bile, 3. soruda verdiğimiz seçeneğin doğru olup olmadığı fikri beynimizi yemeye devam eder. Kuşku ve belirsizlik, neti aşağı çeker. 3. TAKILINCA İŞARETLEME GEÇ, SONRA BAK – SÜPÜRME YÖNTEMİ: Boş bırakabilme erdemi, çoğu kişinin A puanlarına ulaşabilmesinde en önemli etkendir. Basit nedenlerle, okuduğu seçenekte çabuk bir doğru cevap bulmazsa işaretleme yapmadan geçen bir kişi, daha sonra aynı seçeneğe baktığında doğruya ulaşacaktır: • Uğraştığınız seçenek BOYUNUZUN ÜZERİNDE ve hatta iptal edilecek bir YANLIŞ SORU olabilir. Onunla uğraşmanız zamanınızı yer ve kendinize inancınızı bitirir. İkisi de size en lazım olan şey. Oluşan zaman baskısı ve hüsran duygusu, normalde doğru cevaplanabilecek ve çok daha kolay pek çok sorunun yanlış cevaplanmasına yol açacaktır. • Uğraştığınız seçenek çözebileceğiniz zorluktadır ama o anda cevabı hatırlamıyorsunuz veya doğru açıdan bakmıyorsunuzdur. Israr etmeniz size yardımcı olmaz. Ama başka sorularla uğraşırken, beyniniz zaten bu soru için de yeter miktarda mesai sarf edecek ve bir daha baktığınızda soruyu gayet kolaylaşmış olacaktır: Beyniniz problemi çözmüş veya soruya yeniden bakarken bakış anızı değiştirmişsinizdir. • Uğraştığınız sorunun cevabı ya doğrudan veya modelleme mantığına göre okuyacağınız diğer sorularda gizli olabilir. Siz diğer soruları okurken, beyniniz buradan doğru bilgileri kodlayacak ve yeniden boş bıraktığınız soruya geldiğinizde, tercihiniz büyük ihtimalle doğru olacaktır. Unutmayın en büyük kopya, soru kitapçığınızın bizatihi kendisidir. Soruların hepsini bitirdikten sonra boş bıraktığınız sorulara yine sırayla birkaç defa dönüp, her doğru cevap çıkmadığında yeniden boş bırakıp geçmeyi unutmayın. Böylece belirli bir süpürme-tarama yöntemiyle aynı sorulara birkaç kez bakmış olacaksınız. Son 10 dakikada ise artık atma vakti gelmiş olabilir. Hilelere ancak burada yer veriniz. 4. SINAV BİTİNCE TAHMİN: Sınavdan sonra kaç net alacağınızı ±5 hata ile bilmeniz, durumunuzu tespitte çok önemlidir. Bu tahmin bir müddet sonra hangi seçeneği bilerek, hangisini ise sallayarak yaptığınızı bilmeniz hususunda size olağanüstü bir yetenek kazandıracak ve böylece hangi seçeneği hemen işaretleyeceğinizi, hangi seçeneği boş bırakıp sonra bakmanız gerektiğini ve hangi seçenekte aslında atmak durumunuzda olduğunu ve dolayısıyla hile-hurda kullanabileceğinizi bilmenizi sağlayacak. 5. YANLIŞLARI BİR DAHA ÇÖZ – TURLAMA: Cevapları başkasına kontrol ettirip, yanlış cevaplarınızı bir daha çözmeye çalışmanız, bir sonraki denemenizde NET ARTIRABİLMENİZ neredeyse en garanti yoludur. Beyniniz (a) iki şık arasında hangisini seçmeniz gerektiğini öğrenecek, (b) yanlış yaptığı soruyu bir daha çözdüreceğinizi anladığından, ilk hamlede doğruyu görmeyi başarabilecektir. Turlamayı illaki tüm soruların cevabını kendiniz buluncaya kadar yapınız. Ama İLK TUR, en öğretici olandır. 6. KELİME ÖĞREN: Sınavın bir kısmından keklime öğrenmeyi ihmal etmeyin. Bir limitiniz olsun, mesela 100. O sınavdan tam 100 adet bilmediğiniz kelime öğrenmeye bakın. Sadece paragraflardaki kelimelere bakmanız bile yeterli olabilecektir.

Across the technologically developed world, scientists are building progressively more humanlike machines. “Social robots” are now entering human culture, most frequently as entertainers for the very young and as caretakers for the very old. In Japan, consumers buy “therapeutic robots” like the humanoid Wakamaru, which is designed to provide companionship for the elderly and disabled, and is capable of basic social interactions with its owners. In the US, recent holiday seasons have seen parents fighting to buy robotic toys for their children to “nurture” and play with. It is this drive to build robots that appear to understand us and engage with us – and perhaps one day think like us – that is providing scientists with some unsettling and unique insights. And it is driving the emerging field of roboethics, which asks questions about how these machines affect us and how best to integrate them into our culture. A) provide a guide for dealing with the social problems caused by robots B) warn the reader of the dangers involved in creating human-like machines C) raise the readers’ awareness of our evolving relationship with social machines D) persuade readers to buy more electronic toys and games E) encourage the reader to do more research on how robots could help society 45.

According to the passage, one solution offered to stop the loss of population and industrial strength is to ----. 47. - 50. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. In post-tsunami Japan, the prime minister must decide which towns and villages in Tohoku will be restored and which won’t be. Much of rural Japan has been losing its population and industrial strength for years. Decentralizing power, which would require a revolution in the central government, would help the process. Japan has long been a top-down economy: government bureaucrats make the decisions and allocate the tax revenues; local leaders react accordingly. Those in Tokyo working on revival plans are caught up in paperwork and are too far away from the damaged areas to grasp the complexities of life there. Japan’s de-populated towns need to join forces and share budgets – a move central government is too busy and distracted to make. The biggest mistake would be for Japan to try to recreate what existed before the March 10, 2011 tsunami. Despite what has been a lost year for Japan, the nation still has an opportunity for the kind of restructuring that does not come along often. It would be a shame if Japan wasted it. A) restore the powers of the central government B) let the prime minister deal with the issue C) regulate the assets of the central government D) decide where new industry should be located E) provide the local governments with more power 49. As it is stated in the passage, Japan’s top-down economy ----. A) allows the bureaucrats to observe the seriousness of the situation in remote regions B) does not enable effective communication between the government and the local administrators C) lets those in Tokyo see the complexities of life in urban areas 47. It can be inferred from the passage that ----. A) B) D) encourages the de-populated towns to join forces and share the limited budget Japan is well-equipped to overcome the difficulties of any disaster, natural or man-made E) the prime minister largely appears to understand the complexities of life in tsunamiravaged areas makes it possible for the local leaders to make their own decisions in times of disaster C) Japan’s central, as well as local government officials, have been working together to address the tsunami-related problems D) the central government has failed to act appropriately to solve the problems caused by the tsunami E) 50. According to the writer of the passage, it would be completely wrong for Japan to ----. politicians have been spending all tax Money collected to help tsunami affected-regions A) try and make up for the lost year B) focus on the complexities of the situation C) rebuild what existed before the tsunami D) seize the opportunity to rebuild the nation E) 12 spend its money on restructuring DERLEME 7 YDS MHMT.MMGR 52. It is suggested in the passage that ----. 51. -54. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. Investment in human capital is just like investment in any other thing. If you invest in a building, you expect to receive a rate of return on your investment. You expect to receive some reward for not consuming all your income today. The same is true for investment in human capital. If you invest in yourself by going to college, rather than going to work after school and earning more money, you presumably will be rewarded in the future by a higher income and/or a more interesting job. On average, the rate of return on investment in human capital is similar to the rate of return to investment in other areas. The main cost of education is the income lost, or the opportunity cost, through not working. However, the extra income earned over a lifetime is almost always more than enough to compensate for this. Individuals’ earning capacity is also related to innate abilities and non-acquired human capital such as strength, good looks, coordination, and mental alertness. But the additions to human capital which take place as people acquire education and training are usually more important. A) acquired human capital is usually more crucial than non-acquired human capital B) individuals’ potential productivity has more to do with non-acquired human capital C) going to college increases a person’s mental alertness and coordination D) strength and coordination are reinforced by the type of education received E) learnt abilities alone determine individuals’ future prospects 53. As it is stated in the passage, a person’s potential productivity is determined by ----. A) the right mix of individuals’ entrepreneurial talent and determination B) doing part-time work while studying to gain experience and earn more money C) strength, good looks, coordination, and mental alertness D) investment in your physical appearance and health and workplace training 51. According to the passage, if individuals acquire more human capital, ----. A) their attractiveness to a potential employer is guaranteed B) it is likely that they will earn more money in the future E) 54. According to the passage, the rate of return on investment in human capital ----. C) their innate abilities and attributes become more important D) the real cost of a quality education becomes unimportant E) a combination of inborn capacities and other qualities obtained through investing in oneself they become more willing to take risks in their choice of employment A) has to do with both experience and on-the-job training B) is related to the opportunity cost of receiving a high school education C) compensates for the lack of a college education in the early years D) is not very different from the rate of return on investment in other areas E) 13 stems from uncertainty in the usually unstable market place DERLEME 7 YDS MHMT.MMGR 56. According to the passage, both libraries and the Internet ----. 55. – 58. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. Imagine you are a professor doing research in a library. You have an assistant who brings books that you request to your desk as you find new sources from bibliographies. Now imagine that you are doing the same research, but on the Internet. In both cases, you’re reading documents, finding links, and then reading the documents the links point to. The only difference is that in one case the documents are printed on paper and in the other, they’re spread across a screen. Despite the similarities, our experience of these two situations will be quite different. Consider the language we’ll use. In the first case, we’ll take a book from the shelf, find a link, get another book and put the first one back. At the physical desk, I’m still the centre of the universe. I cause things to be brought to me and to be taken away when I have finished with them. Now consider the language we use to talk about the Web experience: we go to a site, we browse, we surf, we find a link and we go to it. When we’re done, we leave the site. The desk is a place where we sit; the Web is a space through which we travel. A) make different use of modern technological resources B) are places which imaginative people often enjoy visiting C) differ only in how much information can be retrieved D) offer the opportunity to read texts with connections to other texts E) contain all the information anyone would ever need to know 57. We can understand from the passage that the words expressing how we use the library and the Internet ----. A) are related to how we experience each situation differently B) point to the different times in which each was developed C) change depending on the momentary objectives of the speaker 55. The writer asks the reader to imagine they are a professor in order to ----.

According to the passage, Linfa Wang’s study of wild Chinese bats ----. 59. – 62. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. Bats are creatures of the night that are commonly held in fear. At first glance, those fears might seem to have some medical justification. Long known as vectors for rabies, it is now thought that bats may be the origin of some of the most deadly emerging viruses, including SARS. From research with other viruses, virologist Linfa Wang of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory knew bats could get chronic infections from viruses while not getting sick, making them ideal carriers for disease. Bats, civets and a menagerie of other animals were often found caged near one another in live-animal markets in Asia. So Wang hypothesized that bats might harbor SARS as well. Wang and his colleagues analyzed blood, throat and faecal swabs from 408 wild bats from China. Genetic analysis revealed five bats, which represented three of nine species of horseshoe bats tested, possessed viruses closely related to SARS. They reported last September that the genetic variation within those coronaviruses was far greater than that seen in human or civet SARS. Therefore, bats, probably having lived longer with the diseases, may be the origin of the coronaviruses seen in other species. they are not thought to be dangerous to humans and other animals B) they must have a well-developed immune system A) showed that the coronaviruses carried by some of the bats had a much greater genetic variation than seen in human SARS B) revealed that the bats, while chronically infected with viruses other than SARS, did not become ill or suffer from any symptoms C) has aroused a great deal of controversy among flu specialists D) proved that the SARS virus carried by the bats was the same as that found in civets E) sparked a movement to reform the live-animal markets in Asia 61. The main idea of the passage is that ----. 59. We understand from the passage that since bats can get chronic infections from viruses without getting sick, ----. A) MHMT.MMGR A) most people fear bats as they are nocturnal animals B) bats cannot be infected with a virus without immediately suffering any symptoms C) SARS and other deadly new viruses may have their origins in bats D) bats are often kept nearby other animals in Asian live-animal markets E) virologist Linfa Wang did research on 408 wild bats from China C) people have a great fear of becoming infected from them D) they are perfect hosts for disease E) their blood and faeces carry no sign of infection, either 62. The passage points out that although bats have long been understood to be carriers of rabies, ----. A) the ones having close contact with humans do not carry the disease B) there is not much risk of transfer of this disease to humans C) they were tested for the disease anyway D) they have not until recently been thought to be carriers of SARS E) 15 they have never undergone genetic analysis to reveal other diseases in their bodies DERLEME 7 YDS MHMT.MMGR 64.
