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.

44. As it is pointed out in the passage, it was only
after the steam engine had come into being that
----.
If engineers waited for the development of scientific
knowledge to use and organize into technological
achievements, ours would be a very different world
from what we know. In engineering, it is not so much
science as it is ingenuity that is applied to solve
problems and satisfy needs and wants. If this were
not so, the steam engine would never have been
invented in the absence of thermodynamics. The
Wright Brothers would not have flown since they
had no aerodynamics textbooks. The astronauts
would never have landed on the Moon nor the
rovers on Mars without firm geological knowledge of
their surfaces. Rather than following scientific
theories and discoveries, engineering leads them.
Operating steam engines prompted the
development of thermodynamics, actual powered
flight drove aerodynamics, and Moon and Mars
missions brought back samples and sent back data
that led to increased scientific knowledge about
those extraterrestrial bodies.
A) anyone could envisage traveling into space
B) people understood what engineering could
achieve
C) people began to value scientific theory
D) aerodynamics attracted any serious attention
E) the science of thermodynamics really began to
develop

technological achievements of engineers are ---.
A) frequently the result of inventiveness and
creativity
B) based on a profound knowledge of several
scientific fields
C) best exemplified in the missions to Mars
D) often disappointing as they aim to achieve too
much
E) no longer as impressive as formerly

B) theoretical science and technological
achievement have always gone hand-in-hand

inventions ----.
C) engineering is very often a step ahead of the

48. We learn from the passage that, with opencast
mining, ----.
47. – 50. sorulan aşağıdaki parçaya göre
cevaplayınız.
The people of Blaenavon in South Wales were
understandably worried. The opencast mine only 1
kilometer north of their town had served the great
Blaenavon ironworks when they opened in the late
18th century. But it had been lying derelict for
decades and now British Coal Opencast wanted to
mine the remaining 320,000 tonnes of coal. At
opencast sites, for every tonne of coal recovered, up
to 40 tonnes of rock has to be extracted. So, in the
case of Blaenavon, unless precautionary measures
were taken, the air in the town was going to be thick
with dust. Precautionary measures were taken,
based on well-tried techniques. For instance, tall
spray masts were erected around dumps to provide
a curtain of rain to entrap and wash out dust from
the air, and the wheels of every vehicle leaving the
site were washed. Further, reclaimed areas were
planted with trees and grass from day one. With
these and other measures this turned out to be a
success story for all concerned. In fact, during the
entire mining and reclamation project not a single
complaint about nuisance dust was made to the
local authority.
A) dust control is almost impossible
B) the coal is generally of a very poor quality
C) miners work in better conditions than in
underground mines
D) once the coal has been extracted, grass and
trees have to be planted immediately
E) a huge amount of rock has to be removed in
order to get a relatively small amount of coal
49. According to the passage, the opencast mine
near Blaenavon ----.
A)
had always given employment to the men in
the town
B)
had been in constant use since the late 18th
century
C) had never been mined economically
D) had been neglected for years and fallen into a
state of decay
E)
47. It is clear from the passage that the events
described in the passage amount to a "success
story" ----.
filled the town with dust even when coal was
not being mined there
50. It is clear from the passage that the measures
employed at the site of the mine to control dust
----.
A) even though very little coal was mined
B) as new methods of dust control were
developed and tried out
A)
relied, to a large extent, on the use of water
C) because the coal was mined without the nearby
town suffering from dust
B)
were not adequate enough
D) since no one regretted the closing-down of the
mine
D) were devised and implemented by the people
in the local town
E) though the task of controlling the dust had
proved expensive and time-consuming
E)
C) were just ordinary, routine measures
were set up in a careless half-hearted manner

As for the lifestyle in the Netherlands, the Dutch
have a deserved reputation for being easygoing.
But as with any country, there are some surprises
for newcomers to get used to. For instance, the
amount of bureaucracy strikes them as remarkable
when they first move to the Netherlands. Want to
light a small fire in your garden? You'll need
permission from the local government. Fancy
painting your house? Better check with the
government first. A major problem is the tightening
up of immigration laws on a large scale. The
problem is that the Netherlands is a small country
that is facing a lot of immigration, so they are

Patent laws do little or nothing to help poor
countries dig their way out of poverty, and could
even make matters worse. That's the controversial
conclusion of an independent commission on
intellectual property rights appointed by the British
government. Its report, launched recently in
Geneva, contains 50 radical recommendations to
help make these rights work to the advantage of
poor countries. Britain's Department for
International Development has already promised to
look hard at the suggestions, but it's unclear
whether the rest of the international community will
listen. The World Trade Organization has
persuaded most countries to sign an intellectual
property rights (IPR) agreement that obliges them
to impose Western style laws on everything from
patents to copyrights by 2006. But the new report
argues that these laws only benefit rich countries
with strong traditions of invention, and do little to
aid the transfer of technology to poor countries.
The report argues that poor countries should be
given a lot more flexibility so as to customize those
laws, and up to a decade longer to do so. At
present, many poor countries don't have
intellectual property laws at all. That means local
inventors can't get protection for their ideas, but it
also means people can buy cheap versions of
medicine or software that have been patented
elsewhere. Since poor countries often have little to
patent in the first place, the benefits of having no
laws can outweigh the disadvantages.

60. According to the passage, the replacement of
rice as Japan’s staple food ----.
59. - 62. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre
cevaplayınız.
A century ago in Japan, rice was the dominant
food at every meal, but meats, breads and milk
products now dominate. The health implications of
such changes are two-sided. On the one side, a
steady increase in heart attacks and strokes is
alarming. Japanese men who grew up consuming
a “Western” diet are more likely to suffer from
diabetes than are men who grew up on a
traditional Japanese diet, and diabetes is a risk
factor for heart disease. On the other side, deaths
in Japan have declined as modern sanitation and
immunizations have brought infectious diseases
under control, and the new diet provides much
more protein than a traditional rice-based diet.
Extra protein during the growing years has enabled
the younger generation to grow taller and stronger
than any generation before them. In general,
Japan still enjoys a higher life expectancy and
lower overall rate of heart disease than many other
nations, but new choices present new risks.
A)
has not affected the health of the people in any
way
B)
has met with a great deal of opposition
C) has failed to reduce the spread of infectious
diseases
D) has contributed to a decline in the mortality rate
E)
has given rise to no health implications
61. We understand from the passage that one
benefit of the new Western diet in Japan ----.
A)
has been the emergence of a physically better
and healthier generation
B)
has been a reduction in heart-related diseases
C) has been a remarkable decline in diabetes
59. It is pointed out in the passage that in Japan,
----.
A)
poor sanitary conditions are now a major health
threat
B)
life expectancy is slowly declining
D) is that people are now more resistant to
infectious diseases
E)
has made people aware of the importance of
proteins in the diet
C) the life-style has never been a healthy one
D) the young people are increasingly concerned
about their life expectancy
E)
the traditional diet was low in proteins
62. It is clear from the passage that the
consumption of Western-style food ----.
A)
is indispensable for longer life expectancy
B)
has led to an increase in certain serious health
problems in Japan
C) has not become widespread among the
younger generation in Japan
D) has always been as popular as the traditional
rice diet in Japan
E)
