The massive Toba volcanic eruption on the island of Sumatra about 74,000 years ago did not cause a six-year-long "volcanic winter" in East Africa and thereby did not cause the human population in the region to plummet, according to new University of Arizona-led research. The new findings disagree with the Toba catastrophe hypothesis, which says the eruption and its aftermath caused drastic, multi-year cooling and severe ecological disruption in East Africa. Researchers can use ancient plant parts that wash into and accumulate on the bottoms of lakes to reconstruct a region's past ecosystem. Lead author Chad L. Yost and his colleagues studied microscopic bits of plants preserved in two sediment cores from Lake Malawi. Previous investigators found material from the Toba eruption in the Lake Malawi cores. That material pinpoints the time of the eruption. "It is surprising," said Yost. "You would have expected severe cooling based on the size of the Toba eruption -- yet that's not what we see." Yost and his colleagues did not find marked changes in lower-elevation vegetation post-eruption. The team did find some die-off of mountain plants just after the eruption. Had the region experienced the drastic, multi-year cooling post-Toba, the cores would have evidence of a massive die-off of the region's vegetation at all elevations, Yost said. 29. The writer clearly states in the passage that **the new findings have revealed that the massive Toba volcanic eruption did not lead to a "volcanic winter"**. 30. According to the lead author Chad L. Yost, **the region did not undergo any drastic, multi-year cooling post-Toba**. 31. It is implied in the passage that **ancient plant parts might be used as clues as to reestablishing a region's past ecosystem**. ### 32.-34. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. During 1996 and into 1997, a small number of investors and currency traders began to have doubts about whether Thailand's economy would be able to continue its record of remarkable growth. Fearing a reduction in economic prosperity and profit, some of these investors began to withdraw their money and investments. The outflow of money forced the Thai central bank to devalue its currency, the baht. This began a process which was later called the 1997 'Asian financial crisis'. By the time the crisis had run its course, several Asian countries experienced economic depression, the government of Indonesia was overthrown, countries previously labeled economic miracles, for example South Korea, were forced to seek loans from the International Monetary Fund. Although the 1997 Asian financial crisis was clearly a significant development in the global political economy, it was not immediately apparent what caused the events, what were its most significant aspects or what lessons might be drawn from the crisis to prevent a similar event from occurring. 32. Since some investors were pessimistic about the economic prosperity and profit, **they started to take some economic precautions**. 33. One can infer from the passage that **it took time to understand the reasons and the most important aspects of the crisis or the lessons to take**. 34. It is implied in the passage that **Indonesia was the least affected country from the 1997 Asian financial crisis**. ### 35.-37. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. The planet Mars has long drawn interest from scientists and non-scientists as a possible place to search for evidence of life beyond Earth because the surface contains numerous familiar features such as dried river channels and dried lake beds that hint at a warmer, wetter, more earthlike climate in the past. However, Dr. Joseph Michalski at The University of Hong Kong and his colleagues have published papers recently that cast increased doubt on the idea of surface life evolving on Mars. For the last 2.5 billion years, surface life on Earth has thrived largely due to the evolution of photosynthesis. Surface life is abundant and very successful because of the availability of sunlight, surface water, generally moderate climate conditions, and the protection of our magnetic field. But the planet Mars would have never experienced such habitable conditions at the surface. For Michalski and his colleagues, the climate of Mars has probably been extremely cold and dry most of the time. Mars only had abundant liquid water at its surface during short episodes of climate change. However, all hope for life on Mars is not lost. In another paper Michalski points out that the prospects for surface life on Mars might be dim, but the possibilities for subsurface life are promising. 35. It is clearly stated in the passage that **the surface of Mars and that of Earth differ in that the former has dried river channels while the latter has dried lake beds**. 36. Michalski is of the opinion that **the prospects for subsurface life outweigh the probabilities for surface life on Mars**. 37. It is implied in the passage that **although Mars, the desert planet, is just half the diameter of Earth, it has the same amount of dry land**. ### 38.-40. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. Culture shock is the feeling of uneasiness, loneliness, and anxiety that occurs when a person shifts from one culture to a different one. The more different the two cultures are, the more severe the shock is likely to be. Culture shock happens to many cultural anthropologists, no matter how much they have tried to prepare themselves for fieldwork. It also happens to students who study abroad and others who spend a long time living in another culture. Culture shock can range from problems with food to language barriers and loneliness. Food differences were a major problem in adjustment for a Chinese anthropologist who came to the United States. American food never gave him a "full" feeling. An American anthropologist who went to Pohnpei, an island in the Federated States of Micronesia, found that her lack of skills in the local language caused her the most serious adjustment problems. She says, "Even the dogs understood more than I did." A frequent psychological aspect of culture shock is the feeling of reduced competence as a cultural actor. At home, the anthropologist is highly competent, carrying out everyday tasks, such as shopping, talking to people, and mailing a package, without thinking. In a new culture, the simplest tasks are difficult and one's sense of self-efficacy is undermined. 38. Although cultural anthropologists get ready for fieldwork in advance, **the majority of them still undergo culture shock**. 39. It is clear in the passage that **food problem can also be mentioned as a culture shock**. 40. Which of the following is wrong according to the passage? **For the exemplified American anthropologist, the most serious problem she encountered was the local language**. ### 41.-43. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. With advances in science and medicine, our population is living to ages that we have not seen before. This comes with a new set of problems and medical conditions that we need to focus on to ensure continued quality of life for our elderly citizens. Frailty is one of these age-associated conditions that can lead to health deficits and eventual mortality. Frailty is a geriatric syndrome characterized by elevated risk of declines of health and function. Elderly humans are more vulnerable to stressors and changes in conditions, and see adverse health effects more frequently than those who are younger. The prevalence of frailty increases with age, but there are changes people can make to delay or limit its effects. Early studies suggest that dietary interventions have a positive impact on people with frailty and that balanced nutrition can limit its effects on function. However, these studies had short term follow up and failed to account for a number of potentially confounding factors. 41. It is implied in the passage that elderly citizens **have better health care opportunities thanks to advances in medicine**. 42. According to the passage, frailty **is one of the leading factors that makes elderly people experience some difficulties**. 43. According to the passage, dietary interventions observed in early studies **were not able to fully explain all the aspects of frailty**. ### 44.-48. sorularda, karşılıklı konuşmanın boş bırakılan kısmını tamamlayabilecek ifadeyi bulunuz. 44.

Murat: I think it is because no two volcanoes are similar. Each needs to be analyzed separately in order to see the different signals. Gül: Murat: They must. But such things take time. Another reason behind it is that there are only two satellites observing volcanic activities in the sky. **How come? There must be some similarities among so many volcanoes in the world.** ### 49.-53. sorularda, verilen cümleye anlamca en yakın cümleyi bulunuz. 49.

Earth's atmosphere is about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, with trace amounts of water, argon, carbon dioxide and other gases. The exact composition, as well as the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere, varies with its height.
