TEST -- 01 Lower Intermediate Ciddi bir sınava hazırlanıyorsanız... Bu kitapta sunduğum sözcükleri ve bu düzeyde bir sözcük bilgisini gözardı etme lüksünüz yok... Bunlar, sınavlarda baş ve başaltıya güreşecek sözcükler... En önemli güçlüklerden birisi, karşılaştığınız yeni bir sözcüğün sizin için gerçekten gerekli ve yararlı olup olmadığına karar verebilmek... Herşeyi öğrenmeğe kalkışmak verimli bir yol değildir. İnsanın ayırabileceği belli bir zaman ve belli bir efor düzeyi var. İyi bir hoca ve verimi kanıtlanmış kurs serileri rehber olabilir... Bir başka verimli av alanı ise, kendi ilgi alanınız, kendi bilim dalınız olacaktır. Uyduruk sözlüklerle durumu geçiştirmeyiniz. Bu arada, "İngilizce'den İngilizce'ye" ve "İngilizce-Türkçe" sözlüklerden birlikte yararlanmak en iyisidir... Yeterki, nitelikleri kanıtlanmış yayınlar olsunlar. İnternet üzerinden sözlük hizmeti veren çok sayıda site gözardı edilmemeli. Kullandığınız sözlükte, sözcük tanımlarının örnek tümcelerle desteklenmiş olmasına önemle dikkat ediniz. Sözlükler kadar, THESAURUS = kavram dizinlerinden de yararlanma yolunu seçiniz. Eşanlamlı (synonyms) ve karşıtanlamlı (antonyms) sözcükleri birlikte öğrenmek, çağrışım kolaylığı sağlar. En iyisi hala ve hala "Roget's Thesaurus"... Üstelik Net'te de mevcut: Google'dan bu anahtar sözcüklerle arayınız. Yada, aynı kaynağa farklı ve çok işlevsel bir yaklaşım için şu linki tıklayınız: http://thesaurus.reference.com/

Sözcüğü, okunuşu, değişik anlamları, eş ve karşıt anlamlıları, girdiği çeşitli deyim ve deyişler, ve en önemlisi ÖRNEK TÜMCELER ile birlikte kaydetmeğe özen gösterin. Bu örnek tümceleri ezberlemeğe çalışın. Örnek tümceler için, sözlükler kadar, İnternet araştırma motorlarının da -- zahmetli bir çalışma da olsa -- son derece yararlı olacağına dikkatinizi çekerim. Ancak itibar edeceğiniz siteler, anadili İngilizce, fakat aynı zamanda eğitimli ve dili iyi kullanan kimselerin hazırladığı siteler olmalı... Özellikle ilk testlerde olmak üzere, sorularla ilgili notlar, açıklamalar ve genel öneriler ekledim. Bunlara önemle kulak verin, derim. Ne yapalım, ukalâlık hocalığın şanındandır... DİKKAT: Kullandığım fonetik simgeleri için lütfen anasayfadan özel fonoloji bölümüne bknz. HERE WE GO, FOLKS!!... HAYDİ BAKALIM İŞE KOYULALIM !!... Please do not click the answer button before you have thoroughly studied the question & deliberated on your own choice !! 01 Come to Turkey, and ............... all these places where history lives on. a. inform b. invent c. memorize d. mention e. discover


2

discover to live on = yaşamaya devam etmek... AÇIKLAMA: Genelde, fiilin arkasına eklenen "on" ile, sözkonusu eylem veya durumun sürdüğü, sürdürüldüğü anlamı eklenmiş olur: "He went on talking for another half an hour..." "Despite all these difficulties, we mustn't give up! We must fight on..." 02 -- I'm ............... an answer within a few days. a. expecting b. hoping c. excepting d. waiting e. accepting expecting AÇIKLAMA: Bu soruda yanlış yanıt verdiyseniz, bunun iki nedeni olabilir: 1) fiilinizin ilgeç alıp almadığı, veya hangi ilgeci alması gerektiği konusunda dikkatsiz davranmanız; veya, 2) kalburüstü bütün kaynaklarda ençok karıştırılanlar listesinde başa güreşen "expect - except - accept" üçlüsünü yine de karıştırmak... Bendenize ait üç "vecize" takdim ediyorum: You mustn't expect me to accept your excuse, except (veya, excepting) that part about losing your wallet. Some say, "Expect nothing; accept everything." I say, "Expect everything; accept nothing except love." I'd rather be a man who has absolutely nothing except love than be a man who has absolutely everything except love.

03 -- Keeping a diary is no doubt quite a useful personal ............... . a. custom b. usage /yu-zic/ c. tradition d. habit /hæ-bit/ e. institution habit diary da-yıri = günlük... to keep a diary = günlük tutmak... DİKKAT: dairy dey-ri = mandıra, süthane... 04 -- Excuse me. I'm a(n) ............... around here. Can you show me the way to the nearest post office, please? a. explorer b. foreigner /fo-rınır/ c. stranger d. alien /ey-liyın/ e. tourist stranger foreigner = DİKKAT: Okunuşu fo-rınır... "fo-rey-nır" şeklinde olduğunu iddia eden varsa, vurun: sevaba girersiniz. Böyle kimselerden özel ders filan almayın; paranıza yazık... 05 -- How much do I ............... you? a. buy from b. owe /ouw/ c. borrow d. own to /ouwn/ e. lend from owe DİKKAT: Bilmediğiniz her sözcüğü, lütfen sözlüğe ve "thesaurus"a bakıp sülalesi ile, eş-anlamlıları / karşıt-


3

anlamlıları ile, girdiği / kurduğu deyimler ve bütün bunları örnekleyen kısa tümceler ile birlikte kaydediniz, öğreniniz... Yaptığınız her test çalışması aynı zamanda yeni birşeyler öğrenmenize de vesile olmalıdır... 06 -- There are many more television ............... today than there used to be twenty years ago. a. passers-by (çoğul biçimine dikkat) b. onlookers c. spectators /spek-tey-tırz/ d. viewers e. sight-seers /sayt-siırz/ viewers 07 -- It's getting quite ............... . It's probably going to rain soon. a. breezy /bri:-zi/ b. windy c. chilly /çi-li/ d. foggy e. cloudy cloudy BAKINIZ, TEKRAR UYARIYORUM: Test çözme etkinliğine ayırdığınız zamanı, "Aaaa, başarıyorum -- ne mutlu bana!" veya, "Hay Allah, yine başaramadım -- n'apcam ben sınavda, mahfoldum!" gibi duygusal tepkilerle boşa harcamayınız. Size sorulan sözcükler, belli bir plana göre dikkatle seçilmiştir... Bunu bir öğrenme fırsatı olarak değerlendiriniz. Örneğin bu soruda, muhtemelen "breezy" ve "chilly" sözcüklerini bilmiyordunuz... Hemen sevgili sözlüklerinizi açıp, kaydediniz ve dağarcığınıza ekleyiniz...

08 -- Do be serious, please. This isn't a(n) ............... . a. joke b. funny c. puzzle d. comic e. humour /hyu-mı/ joke Do be... = Fiillerin emir kipindeki yalın hallerinin başına "Do" getirilerek, pekiştirilmiş, daha kuvvetli bir ifade elde edilir... DİKKAT = Sorunun mantığını irdelemek herzaman için yararlıdır... Örneğin burada, "a(n)" article'dan dolayı, bir sıfat kullanmanın yanlış olacağını irdeleyip saptamanız gerekirdi... Adlardan yana ise, anlamın uyup uymaması kadar "sayılabilir" olup olmadığına da dikkat etmelisiniz... 09 -- The ............... today is full of the news of the incident. a. publisher /pab-lişı/ b. journalism /jö-nılizm/ c. press d. reporter e. print press A QUESTION FOR YOU: What is the Turkish expression for "a press conference"?? incident /in-sidınt/ = olay, vak'a... Ad hali = incidence /in-sidıns/, "olma, vaki olma, vuku bulma" demektir... Nitekim, İngilizce ve Türkçe tıp dilinde kullanılan "insidans" (= sıklık) terimi de, "vuku buluşların sıklığı" kavramından kısaltmadır.


4

10 -- I'm going to take a(n) ............. abroad next summer. a. sightseeing /sayt-siiN/ b. travel c. vocation d. trip e. excursion trip DİKKAT... DİKKAT... "vacation" ve "vocation" iki ayrı sözcüktür. Lütfen sözlüğünüze danışınız... NOT: "abroad, asleep, aside" gibi başına "a" öneki getirilerek yapılan sözcükler, Türkçe'ye gerek "-e" hali, gerekse "-de" hali ile çeviri verebilir: abroad = yurtdışına, yurtdışında... Hangisinin geçerli olduğuna, tümcedeki fiilin hareket veya durum belirtiyor olmasını dikkate alarak karar veririz... 11 -- He was told by the doctors that he would need quite a long period of rest after such a serious ............... . a. epidemic b. disease c. recovery d. complaint e. illness answer illness AÇIKLAMA... Henüz doğru yanıta bakmadıysanız, "bu iki sözcükten birisi" şeklinde bir ipucu vermek istemiyorum, ama burada bir açıklama gerekiyor: "disease" ve "illness" kimi bağlamlarda birbirinin yerine kullanılabilirse de, birincisi genelde "hastalığın, illetin" kendisine atıfta bulunurken, ikincisi ise daha çok hastanın içinde bulunduğu hal ve durum ile ilgilidir...

12 -- I wouldn't say I am deeply in love with her; but I'm very ............... of her. a. keen b. friendly c. fond d. likeable e. romantic answer fond Açıklama için en alta bknz. 13 -- He just sits there and ............... television most of the time. a. stares b. observes c. glances d. gazes e. watches answer watches Açıklama için en alta bknz. 14 -- He's travelling by himself. In other words, he's on his ............... . a. single b. self c. alone d. own e. lonely answer own Bu bir deyimdir: "to be on one's ........ ". "one's" yerine bütün iyelik sıfatlarını yerleştirebilirsiniz. "on my, your, his, our, their ........ ". Bir başka kalıp ise şöyle: "by myself, by yourself, by himself, by herself, by ourselves, by themselves". Her ikisinin de anlamı: 1. Tekbaşına = yalnız, yanında başkası yok; 2. Tekbaşına = yardım


5

almaksızın... I am on my ........ ; I did it by myself... 15 -- This whole place needs a(n) ............... cleaning. It's in a terrible state. It's in a terrible mess. a. fully b. thorough c. infinite d. entirely e. valid answer thorough Açıklama için en alta bknz. mess / mes / = karışıklık, düzensizlik... mass / mæs / = kitle... 16 -- ............... of money prevented us from taking a holiday abroad this year. a. Inflation b. Presence /pre-zıns/ c. Lack d. Being absent e. Limit answer Lack 17 -- Sorry, it's much too expensive for me; I can't ............... it. a. effort b. comfort c. support d. import e. afford answer afford

"ditör-mayn" şeklinde olduğunu iddia eden varsa, vurun: sevaba girersiniz. Böyle kimselerden özel ders filan almayın; paranıza yazık... 20 -- The volcano is expected to ............... any day now. a. excite b. erupt /i-rapt/ c. kick d. expand e. stimulate answer erupt Buradaki doğru şık için bir alternatif, "to explode" fiili olurdu = patlamak... explosion = patlama... explosives = patlayıcı maddeler... an explosive situation = patlamağa hazır bir durum...


6

EK AÇIKLAMALAR 01 -- to be fond of... to be keen on... to be friendly with... Kullanılan ilgecin farklı olması yanında, ayrıca buradaki gibi "kalbi" bir konuda birinci deyim tercih edilecektir: I'm very fond of Madonna... He is very keen on pop music... 13 -- "stare, glance, gaze" fiilleri "at" ilgeci ile kullanılır. Ayrıca "the" article kullanımını da gerekli kılacaklardı. Oysa "to watch television" article kullanımı gerektirmeyen bir deyim ve kalıptır... "observe" ise anlam olarak uymuyor... 15 -- thorough = (sıfat) tam, sıkı ve titiz... Okunuşu: /Øara /... Bu sözcüğü, "through" ile karıştırmayınız. Ayrıca "throughout" (boydan boya, baştan başa) ile Türkçe'deki anlam benzerliğine karşın, bu ikincisinin bir ilgeç olduğuna dikkat ediniz: I made a thorough study of the book throughout that afternoon. = Bütün o gün öğleden sonra, kitabı iyice inceledim.

Yaptığınız her test çalışması aynı zamanda yeni birşeyler öğrenmenize de vesile olmalıdır...

Birkaç kısa örnek tümce ezberlemeniz son derece yararlı olacaktır... AÇIKLAMA: Eğer bu fiillerinizi öğrenirken, birer kısa kullanım örneği ile birlikte öğrenmiş olsaydınız, şimdi böyle bir soru karşısında hiç güçlük çekmeyecektiniz: She threatened him with a knife... She urged him to leave at once... She warned him of/against the dangers of bungy jumping... She accused him of lazyness... (Yukardaki soruda bu fiilin anlamı tutmuyor)...

10

b. lay c. lain d. lied e. was laying lay ÇALIŞMA ÖNERİSİ: "to lie" = "yatmak, uzanmak": geçişsiz fiildir. "to lay" = "yatırmak, uzatmak, sermek, yaymak, vs. vs." ise geçişli bir fiildir. Her ikisi de düzensiz çekimlidir. Düzenli bir fiil olan "to lie" fiili ise "yalan söylemek" anlamına gelir. Şimdi lütfen, sözlüğünüzden bu 3 önemli fiilin ayrıntılarını irdeleyiniz... Present, past ve past participle ile present participle Ving biçimlerinin yazılış benzerlik ve sorunlarına özel dikkat... EK AÇIKLAMA: Yukardaki şıklardan birisinin oluşturduğu "Oğlu suyun kenarında cıbı cıbı oynarken, kendisi plajda yalan söyledi" tümcesi, gramer olarak doğru, mantık açısından ise kabul edilemezdir. 19 -- When two ............... sit talking, their conversation soon becomes focused on women. a. spinsters b. fathers-in-law c. bachelors d. brothers-in-law e. brides bachelors AÇIKLAMA: Bir soruda, bütün şıklarla kurulan tümceler gramer olarak doğru; ve üstelik herbirisi belli açıdan mantıklı görünebilir. Ancak biz, "hiçbir şüpheye mahal bırakmayacak ölçüde doğru" veya "elimine edilemeyecek" şıkkı bulmalıyız...

Peki, TCBMM bir önergeyi benimsediğinde hangi fiili kullanmamız gerekiyor? "To adapt" ve "to adopt": Bu iki sözcüğün değişik anlam boyutlarını sözlükten irdeleyiniz... Yukarda 7. soruda yasadışı (outlaw) kimselerden söz açılmıştı: Bu konudaki sözcük dağarcığınıza şu yasadışı veya gayrımeşru "meslek" sahiplerini de ekleyebilirsiniz: arsonist, blackmailer, bandit, briber, burglar, cheat, convict, crook, cutthroat, defaulter, desperado, embezzler, ex-con (ex-convict), felon, filcher, forger, fugitive, gangster, gunman, highwayman, hijacker, hoodlum, hooligan, housebreaker, juvenile delinquent, jailbird, knave, lawbreaker, miscreant, pickpocket, pilferer, pillager, pirate, plunderer, prowler, punk, racketeer, raider, robber, rogue, ruffian, saboteur, scoundrel, seditionist, slanderer, spy, swindler, terrorist, thief, thug, trickster...

Ciddi bir sınava hazırlanıyorsanız... Bu ve bunu izleyen iki testte sunduğum sözcükleri ve bu düzeyde bir sözcük bilgisini gözardı etme lüksünüz yok... En önemli güçlüklerden birisi, karşılaştığınız yeni bir sözcüğün sizin için gerçekten gerekli ve yararlı olup olmadığına karar verebilmek. Herşeyi öğrenmeğe kalkışmak verimli bir yol değildir. Sonunda, insanın ayırabileceği belli bir zaman ve belli bir efor düzeyi var. İyi bir hoca ve verimi kanıtlanmış kurs serileri rehber olabilir... Bir başka verimli av alanı ise, kendi ilgi alanınız, kendi bilim dalınız olacaktır. Uyduruk sözlüklerle durumu geçiştirmeyin. "İngilizce'den İngilizce'ye" ve "İngilizce-Türkçe" sözlüklerden birlikte yararlanmak en iyisi. Yeterki nitelikleri kanıtlanmış yayınlar olsunlar. İnternet üzerinden sözlük hizmeti veren çok sayıda site gözardı edilmemeli. Sözlükler kadar, "kavram dizinleri" nin de (özellikle, Roget's Thesaurus) yararlı olduklarını unutmayınız. Sözcüğü, okunuşu, değişik anlamları, eş ve karşıt anlamlıları, girdiği çeşitli deyim ve deyişler, ve en önemlisi ÖRNEK TÜMCELER ile birlikte kaydetmeğe özen gösterin. Bu örnek tümceleri ezberlemeğe çalışın. Örnek tümceler için, sözlükler kadar, İnternet araştırma motorlarının da -- zahmetli de olsa -- son derece yararlı olacağına dikkatinizi çekerim. Ancak itibar edeceğiniz siteler, anadili İngilizce, fakat aynı zamanda eğitimli, dili iyi kullanan kimselerin hazırladığı siteler olmalı... Giderek zenginleşen bu kaynağa zaman zaman dönerek belleğinizi tazeleyin, eklemeler yapmaya çalışın. Bütün bunları fihrist şeklinde düzenlenmiş bir defterde yapmanız büyük kolaylık sağlayacaktır.

Sözcükler özenle seçilmiştir. Buradaki 10 soru için yoğun örnekler vereceğim. İzleyen iki testteki yirmişer soruda benzer bir çalışma yapmanızı öneriyorum. Bu çalışmanız size, İngilizce'de "başaltı'ya güreşecek" nitelikte 200 dolayında önemli sözcük kazandıracaktır. 01 -- To abolish slavery on its own is meaningless; freedom from want is the real thing. /ı-bo-liş/ a. approve of b. speak against c. neglect d. put an end to e. turn a deaf ear to put an end to want = gereksinim, ihtiyaç... Şimdi hemen sözlüklerinizi açıp, veya İnternet'teki araştırma motorlarını kullanarak, sözcüğün bu anlamını içeren ÖRNEK TÜMCELER toplamağa çalışınız... on its own = kendi başına, tek başına, kendi içinde... freedom from want = gereksinimlerin giderilmiş olması, muhtaç durumda olmamak... 02 -- You need some knowledge of nuclear physics to understand the intricate mechanisms involved in this project. /in-trikit/ a. complex and complicated b. imperfect and defective c. incisive, penetrating and probing d. insane, mad, crazy e. flawless and perfect complex and complicated

Bu iş için sözlük değil bir THESAURUS (kavramlar dizini) kullanın. En iyisi hala ve hala "Roget's Thesaurus". Üstelik Net'te mevcut: Google'dan bu anahtar sözcüklerle arayınız. 04 -- Poor health prevented him from accomplishing the great task he had started. /ı-k�mp-liş/ a. getting rid of b. leaving undone c. giving up in despair d. finishing with success e. employing an expert to do finishing with success poor health = sağlığının kötü olması... to accomplish: achieve, attain, reach a goal or objective, realize... to quit : to cease trying to accomplish or continue: abandon, discontinue, give up, leave off, relinquish, remit, stop...

05 -- I'm afraid I've completely missed the significance of his last remarks. /sig-ni-fikıns/ a. meaning and importance b. effect and relevance c. feelings and emotions d. logic and rationality e. sense and signature meaning and importance his last remarks = söylediği son sözler... (örneğin çıkmadan önce veya bir konuşma sırasında)... effect = aslında "sonuç, netice" demektir (örnek: cause and effect = sebep ve sonuç); ama Türkçe'ye çoğunlukla "etki" kavramı ile çeviri veriyor... sense = 1. duyu örn: our five senses; 2. anlam = meaning, örn: What you're saying makes no sense. = Söylediğin şey/şeyler anlamsız)... Dolayısıyla: sensitive = duyarlı... Ama, senseless = anlamsız... Örn: a senseless act of violence = anlamsız bir şiddet hareketi... 06 -- I don't quite follow what you're getting at. Will you further clarify your position on this issue? /klæ-rifay/ a. re-consider, re-evaluate b. make obscure, nebulous, ambiguous c. make (crystal) clear d. classify, categorize e. purify, remove the impurities of make (crystal) clear İlk tümcenin çevirisi : Sözü nereye getirdiğinizi anlayamıyorum... nebulous: uzaydaki "nebula" lar birer "cloud" değil mi? clear = açık, berrak; crystal clear = apaçık, besberrak...

07 -- Holding the door open for a moment for the person coming right behind you is the conventional thing to do. /kın-ven-şınıl/ a. customs b. customer c. custody d. customary e. custodian customary customs = 1. adetler, görenekler; 2. gümrük... customs duty = gümrük vergisi... custodian = koruyucu, muhafız, bakıcı, emanetine bırakılan kişi, tutan, saklayan... to take into custody = GÖZALTINA almak ("gözlem altına almak" diyen bütün cahil TV metin yazarı ve spikerlerini vurun!) 08 -- One may ask if it is fair to attempt to inhibit a person's natural impulses. But such is our cultural milieu... /in-hi-bit/ a. alter and change b. condition, mold and modify c. express (to say and speak publicly) d. curb and restrain e. endanger, imperil, jeopardize curb and restrain But such is our cultural milieu... = Ama kültürel ortamımız işte böyle... Okunuşu: mil-yö... Çoğulu: milieus, veya milieux... conditioned reflex = şartlı (yani şartlandırılmış) refleks... to mold = şekillendirmek ("kalıba dökmek" kavramından)... Polis arabanızı durdurunca ne der? "Pull up by the curb, please." = Arabanızı kenara (kaldırımın kenarına) çekiniz. Çünkü "curb", yolu "sınırlayan" şey, yani kaldırımdır... self-restraint = kendini firenleme, nefsine hakim olma... to endanger, to imperil, to jeopardize için ad durumları (isim halleri): danger, peril, jeopardy... Okunuşu: ce-pıdi... Bu gruba hazard sözcüğünü


46

ekleyin... Sıfat durumları: dangerous, perilous... Bu kapasitede "jeopardy" i unutun, onun yerine hazardous 'u listeleyin... 09 -- It's high time we all went aboard the ship. a. out of b. near c. alongside d. on e. away from on It's high time we + past tense (anlamı:present veya future) : SUBJUNCTIVE yapıya dikkat.

İngilizce'de bunun gibi başına "a-" getirilerek yapılmış çok sayıda sözcük var. Ama bunları "yok, -sız" anlamına gelen "a-" öneki ile karıştırmayınız: apathy = herhangi bir duygusal tepki yokluğu (sympathy, antipathy veya empathy'den farklı olarak). Ancak bu tür sözcüklerden bazıları farklı nüans da kazanabilir: amoral = 1) ahlak konularını ilgilendirmeyen; 2. ahlak dışı dolayısıyla da "ahlaksız"... 10 -- You are beautiful, but I must say beauty in itself is a rather abstract quality... /æbs-trækt/ a. intangible b. difficult to define c. indescribable d. heavenly e. repulsive

intangible Antonym, yani karşıt anlamlısı = concrete = somut (ki aynı zamanda "beton" anlamına da geliyor). Reinforced concrete = betonarme... to reinforce = pekiştirme... indescribable = that cannot be described, surpassing description, beyond description = tarif edilmez / edilemez...
