2016 YDS DENEME 1 FATİH HOCA ANTALYA ARTI DİL KURSU 242 2432125 The migration from Asia to North America across the Bering

Strait was a monumental event in human history. The process

of overspreading the Americas took more than 1,000 years, or

30 generations. This might seem to confirm common sense

that slow travel was inherent in any great migration without

wheeled vehicles across unknown terrain. Further thought

shows that this process was remarkably fast – about 10 north-

south miles per year, on average. The Americas were

populated at an amazing pace, when one considers the

physical limits of the human body and the physical features of

the American continents. Legs of humans can move only so

fast under the best of circumstances, and they work even

slower over mountain passes or deserts. Populations spread

through the diverse regions of the Americas (grasslands,

eastern forests, coastal swamps) and needed to adapt to their

new environments. The migrants’ lifestyle had evolved over the

years to that of professional nomads ensuring that they would

find the resources needed to survive.

2016 YDS DENEME 1 FATİH HOCA ANTALYA ARTI DİL KURSU 242 2432125 The Spanish explorer Pizarro’s abduction of the Inca King

Atahualpa came in 1529. His men detained the king, coerced

the Incas into paying a large ransom in gold and silver, and

then intentionally killed the king anyway. Their conquest of

Peru established the legendary Spanish holdings on the

mainland of Central and South America. The real difficulty for

Spain’s kings was how to get the riches of the New World to

Spain. Pirates and privateers ruled the seas. To distort what

was actually just robbery, the king of England issued licenses

that turned certain pirates into agents of the government. Their

piracy against Spanish ships and Spanish gold was considered

service to the king or queen of England. Most pirates with such

licenses were social deviants anyway, and predictably, they

became embarrassments to the British crown. In 1603, King

James canceled all such licenses. Many dangerous jobless

pirates became dangerous robbers that operated from the

island of Hispaniola. They launched merciless raids on

Spanish settlements and formed a brotherhood known for

theft, torture, smuggling, and villainy of all sorts.

2016 YDS DENEME 1 FATİH HOCA ANTALYA ARTI DİL KURSU 242 2432125 Studies have shown that watching television induces low Alpha

waves in the human brain. Alpha waves are brainwaves

between 8 to 12 HZ and are commonly associated with relaxed

meditative states as well as brain states associated with

suggestibility. Too much time spent in the low Alpha wave

state caused by TV can cause unfocussed daydreaming and

inability to concentrate. Researchers have said that watching

television is similar to staring at a blank wall for several hours.

In an experiment in 1969, Herbert Krugman monitored a

person through many trials and found that in less than one

minute of television viewing, the person's brainwaves switched

from Beta waves – brainwaves associated with active, logical

thought– to primarily Alpha waves. When the subject stopped

watching television and began reading a magazine, the

brainwaves reverted to Beta waves. Reading a book or

magazine, but not televised text (the radiant light from

television is believed to induce the slower brainwaves) and

writing both require higher brain wave states. If you want to

keep your brain focused and your attention strong, it is a good

idea to cut your television time. Sitting quietly for a few

minutes, painting, singing, reading, or going for a walk, are

better for you in all ways.

which of the following questions can easily be answered?

A) Why is it so important to keep watching TV?

B) Does watching TV improve mental clarity and long-term

memory?

C) Which TV programs are recommended for children?

C) even the short-term TV watching was found to switch brain

to meditative Alpha state

D) the scientists demonstrated that TV viewers were exposed

to large number of advertisements

E) the subject’s brain showed abnormal brain activities

53. It is understood from the passage that too much

television viewing ­­­­

A) induces logical thought in human brain

B) is commonly associated with creativity

C) might even cause long-term blindness

America’s carbon emissions. As a result, tackling emissions

from coal-fired power plants represents our best opportunity to

make sharp reductions in greenhouse gases. Fortunately, the

United States already has the technology to do that.

Unfortunately, right now the country is addicted to coal, a

cheap, abundant power source. Burning coal produces more

than half the country’s electricity, despite its immense human

and environmental costs. Air pollutants from coal-fired power

plants cause somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000

premature deaths in the United States each year. Besides, fifty

tons of mercury are pumped into the atmosphere annually from

coal plants. In addition, the extraction of coal, from West

Virginia to Wyoming, devastates the physical environment, and

its processing and burning produce enormous volumes of

waste.

55. It is stated in the passage that coal­fired power plants

in the United States ­­­­.

A) are noted for lower carbon emissions than other kinds of

power plants

B) are concentrated in West Virginia and Wyoming more than

C) produce a great amount of the country’s electricity

D) are blamed more for mercury emissions than for carbon

emissions

E) have caused widespread environmental destruction in

West Virginia and Wyoming

A) has the ability to drastically decrease greenhouse gases in

the country

B) has developed efficient technologies for the prevention of

C) is the only country in the world that largely depends on coal

for its energy needs

D) has made great technological advances in processing large

amounts of waste

E) is seriously concerned about the human and environmental

effects of its energy policy

57. As one learns from the passage, coal ­­­­.

A) has always been used as a primary source of energy, but

new technologies are needed to extract it more cheaply

B) is so abundant in America that more and more coal-fired

power plants are being constructed throughout the country

C) is extracted in gigantic amounts in West Virginia and

Wyoming, since these two states have the richest reserves in

the country

D) is so indispensable for the production of electricity that

nobody is concerned about its adverse effects on the

Hurricanes, which are circular storms spinning around a region

of low atmospheric pressure, are powered by energy released

by spiraling surface winds that draw heat from the ocean.

Warmer seas provide more energy and make hurricanes

stronger. This is what happened during Hurricane Katrina in

August 2005, which submerged New Orleans and the vicinity.

In fact, according to climate scientists, both the intensity and

destructiveness of hurricanes have increased markedly since

the 1970s. In other words, the energy released by an average

hurricane appears to have increased by about 70 per cent

within the past 30 years. This increase correlates very closely

with rises in sea surface temperatures. Furthermore, tropical

oceans have warmed about one degree Fahrenheit in the past

50 years, a rise that is believed to be chiefly the result of global

warming.

59. One understands from the passage that Hurricane

Katrina was obviously extremely destructive because ­­­­.

A) no measures had been taken over the last 30 years to

protect New Orleans and its surroundings

B) New Orleans, situated so close to the ocean, has always

had adverse effects on global warming

C) at the time, global warming affected the New Orleans area

more than anywhere else

D) the increasingly warm ocean must have provided it with an

unusual amount of energy

E) climate scientists did not believe that such a hurricane

could happen in the New Orleans area

60. It is suggested in the passage that global warming ­­­­.

A) has always been considered to be the single most

important cause of hurricanes throughout the world

B) has been a major topic of research among climate

scientists over the past 50 years or so

C) is most intense in regions where atmospheric pressure is

very low and sea surface temperatures very high

D) was first recognized by climate scientists in the 1970s and

has always been correlated with hurricanes

E) may have played a major role over the years in the rise of

temperature in the oceans in tropical regions

61. It is explained in the passage that a hurricane ­­­­.

A) can only be destructive so long as the surface

temperatures of tropical oceans continue to rise steadily

B) releases its energy when the temperature of the sea

surface increases markedly and causes spiraling winds

C) develops from spiraling surface winds that, according to

climate scientists, mostly happen in tropical regions

D) is a storm that has a circular pattern and moves quickly

around an area of low atmospheric pressure

E) derives its energy from the oceans, whose surface

temperature has changed very little over the past 50 years

62. One of the points emphasized in the passage is that,

over the last 30 years, ­­­­.

A) the average hurricane’s energy has risen by almost three-

quarters

B) Katrina has been the only destructive hurricane in the New

Orleans area

C) climate scientists have made no progress in understanding

hurricanes

D) there has been a marked decrease in the strength of

spiraling surface winds

E) a great deal of research has been done regarding the

causes of global warming

Walter:

– You were out looking for a new apartment last week. How

did it go?

Jessie:

– I found one in an apartment complex. It has two bedrooms

and one bath and about 800 square feet.

Walter: – ----

Jessie:

– Not really. Thanks to strict regulations in there, nobody is

allowed to disturb the residents.

A) So, did you rent it? It sounds like a great bargain.

B) I know that place. I don‘t want to discourage you or

anything, but most people do not live there for long.

C) What about the parking space? Do you have a parking lot

of your own?

D) Well, $800 a month sounds like a decent price to pay for

rent given that you will only pay $400 a month as you have a

roommate.

– What do you mean?

Joe: – ----

A) Well, computers are everywhere. For example, whenever

we program our washing machines, we are actually using a

computer circuitry.

Kenny:

– You know humans do not pollute only the air, the sea or the

land. There is a great deal of space junk in orbit around the

earth.

Adam:

– I know. It is outrageous. There are many kinds of litter from

space exploration, including spanners, nuts, bolts, gloves and

shards of space craft.

Kenny:

– It makes me wonder if there is anything that can be done to

solve this problem.

Adam:

– ----

A) Unfortunately, the method you‘re suggesting has been tried

before, but with no luck.

B) Still, the majority of the debris in space is believed to

consist of small particles but some objects are larger.

C) Isn‘t it weird that as many as ten million pieces of human-

made debris are circulating in space at any one time?

D) Well, we can solve the problem by utilizing a remotely

controlled vehicle to capture the debris, and return to a central

station.

E) I don‘t agree. There should be something that we can at

least try in order to get the problem fixed.

68. One important mechanism that shapes a child's

behavior is imitation. All people, particularly children,

have a strong tendency to imitate others. ­­­­ A child

observes other people being angry or controlling their

anger and copies them. Thus, the child's own aggressive

behavior is shaped and determined by what he or she

observes others doing.

A) When children are rewarded, they are more likely to repeat

that behavior.

B) This imitation extends to virtually every kind of behavior,

including aggression.

C) One of the most common sources of anger is an attack or

intrusion by another person.

D) Imitating others does not mean that the child will behave

aggressively.

E) Children imitate some people more than others.

69. The brain analyzes the flood of incoming information,

decides how to respond, and sends outgoing signals to

muscles and other organs, telling them what to do.

­­­­ However, many parts of the nervous system work

automatically, controlling your internal organs and

reflexes without your conscious awareness.

A) The nervous system has two main parts: the central

nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

B) The nervous system in the human body is made up of

billions of cells called neurons used for sending and receiving

information.

C) Nerve cells located almost everywhere in your body have

long extensions called axons that can stretch to 1 m in length.

D) Much of your nervous system is under voluntary control,

which means you can choose how to react.

E) While man-made wires carry power, the cells that make up

the nervous system carry information.

70. As some economic studies have demonstrated that,

the longer a person is unemployed, the more difficult it

becomes for him or her to find a job. Many companies are

reluctant to hire those who have not worked for a long

time. There are approximately six million Indians not

officially counted as part of the labor force, who say they

would like to work. ­­­­

A) In Western Europe, where it is hard to fire people,

employers are more cautious.

B) A company should reform its working conditions if

employees are not very productive.

C) Not all unemployment is equal, as there are better and

worse ways to be without a job.

D) Integrating these people into the economy will be a long

and expensive process

E) Likewise, there are not big differences between the

unemployment rates of Europe and the US.

with extinction. For instance, the last remaining members

of Pyrenean ibex, one of the four subspecies of the Iberian

wild goat, were rounded up for a captive breeding

program. ­­­­. This species is now extinct but could have

been saved by the cloning technology we have today.

A) Unfortunately, however, they were wiped out by disease

B) Habitat protection is the cornerstone of conservation

C) Scientists made the world's first healthy clone of an

endangered species in 2003

D) Literally a hundred species become extinct every day

E) There are cases in which cloning may prevent extinction

followed by coffee.

C) Coffee and petroleum are the two most valuable

commodities in trade among countries.

D) Increasing demand for petroleum makes coffee the second

most popular product in the world.

74. Whereas the depression of the 1930s profoundly

affected almost every business in different ways, it forced

advertising to become much more selective about

choices.

A) We can assume that the selectivity of advertising can be

attributed to the depression of the 1930s in which nearly every

business collapsed.

B) Since the depression period of the1930s had an impact on

many different businesses, the advertising business had more

options to overcome the problems.

C) When the depression of the 1930s forced the advertising

field to be more competitive, it also influenced almost every

other business.

D) As the depression of the 1930s had an impact on nearly

every business, it forced advertising to adopt a different

approach.

E) Nearly every business was substantially influenced by the

depression of the 1930s in various ways, but it made the

advertising sector even more careful about what to choose.

76. (I) Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site at the top of a

mountain ridge in the Southeastern Anatolia. (II) It has been

excavated by a German archaeological team that was under

the direction of Klaus Schmidt from 1996 until his death in

2014. (III) Schmidt uncovered a vast and beautiful temple

complex here, a structure so ancient that it may be the very

first thing human beings ever built. (IV) The site is not just old;

it redefines ancient: the temple was built 11,500 years ago,

some 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid, and more than

6,000 years before Stonehenge first took shape. (V) In the

Neolithic Age, much of the human race lived in small nomadic

bands.

natural disasters. (II) For average citizens, this research

translates to better preparedness when faced with the

unexpected. (III) Over a billion people live under the shadow of

the world’s 1,900 active volcanoes, yet only a few of these

volcanoes are adequately monitored. (IV) Accurate weather

forecasting is the best defense against hurricanes, but landfall

predictions remain inaccurate by an average of 70 miles, and

many hurricane warnings go unheeded. (V) Tsunamis can

form too quickly for an official warning, but recognizing the

immediate signs, such as a rapidly receding ocean, can give

people precious minutes to reach safety.

A) I B) II C) III D) IV E) V

78. (I) The magnificent Indian eagle is one of the planet’s most

endangered birds of prey. (II) There is no competition for prey

from tigers, leopards, bears, or wolves in the Indian islands,

the eagle’s only home, so it became the top predator in the

rain forest. (III) However, with deforestation rates in India

among the highest in the world, the eagle has been reduced to

a population estimated at several hundred breeding pairs.

(IV) The forest that allowed them to prosper is almost gone,

and if the forest disappears, the eagle will become extinct.

(V) A series of devastating floods and mudslides in the past

decade has caused loss of wildlife and human lives.

A) I B) II C) III D) IV E) V

will go extinct as they always have; other species will prosper.

(II) Humans may be influencing the change, but they didn’t

create the change. (III) Global warming is as dynamic as many

other earthly processes. (IV) Of course, it is important to

monitor which changes are being influenced by humans, but it

must be remembered that change is natural, and Earth will

continue to change no matter what humans may or may not

do. (V) Humans as a species must accept this, and figure out

how best to adapt to the change, not how to control it.

A) I B) II C) III D) IV E) V

microorganisms consume it and the decay caused by

microorganisms spoils food. (II) Some bacteria, such as

Botulism and Salmonella, can cause food poisoning which can

lead to serious illness and sometimes even death. (III) A

variety of food-preserving methods are used to prevent

bacteria from spoiling food. (IV) A sterile tube takes the milk

directly from the cow to a room where the milk is cooled and

stored before being shipped out. (V) In many traditional

methods, food is preserved by removing the water needed by

bacteria for growth or by adding chemicals that limit their

growth.
