29.-31. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.
Have you ever wondered how whales and other marine mammals survive and keep warm in the cold oceans? Warm-blooded mammals can live in these chilly conditions because their bodies have some cool warmth-saving adaptations, thanks to generations of natural selection. Mammals that have evolved to live in cold waters, such as whales, seals, sea lions and polar bears, commonly have a layer of blubber. Whether they are living in cold waters near the North Pole or around Antarctica or are visiting the deep ocean, these animals' blubber is vital to their survival. Blubber helps these marine mammals from getting too cold. Mammals that have adapted to live in cold waters, such as polar bears and whales, can stay warm largely because of their blubber.
29) By the use of “some cool warmth-saving adaptations”, the writer of the passage seems to refer to ------.
A) the great amount of temperature in the oceans
B) the blubber, which marine mammals have in their bodies
C) the varieties of mammals that live on different continents
D) the aspect in which marine mammals adapt to chilly weather
E) the generations of natural selection
30) The passage focuses on the way marine mammals stay alive despite the severe coldness and ------.
A) is explaining the matter with some examples
B) is providing the readers with data on cold weathers
C) separates the conditions of the North Pole from those of Antarctica
D) claims that all the land mammals own blubber in their bodies
E) is trying to illuminate the reason for this survival
31) It can be inferred from the passage that ------.
A) whales take part in the marine mammals
B) seals and polar bears are both land animals
C) chillness is distinct from coldness
D) the warmth of weather raises the amount of blubber in the animal bodies
E) cold oceans are increasingly killing the mammals

32.-34. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.
Once upon a time, cars were noisy. In fact, some cars were really, really noisy. Decades ago, drivers and passengers had to experience engine sounds, wind noise, tire roar and interior vibrations and rattles that are considered completely unacceptable today. Modern cars are designed to be like cocoons that shield the driver from external forces and noise. High-end luxury cars, like the ones made by Lexus and Audi among others, put a special emphasis on being quiet. You pay a lot for a luxury car, so you should expect to ride in comfort. However, the sportier the car, the noisier it tends to be. Sports cars like the Pontiac Solstice and Lotus Elise put an emphasis on performance, so they lack the noise-cancelling equipment of a luxury car. Still, modern cars are much quieter than those of the past.
32) In the passage, an attention is drawn to the fact that the enthusiasts of sports cars --
A) are also concerned with the cars’ being quiet
B) would drive with great sound
C) give priority to performance rather than noiselessness
D) are sometimes fined due to the sound pollution they create
E) were involved in several competitions
33) One of the points made about the early and modern cars is that ------.
A) primitive systems are still benefited from in the production of the latter
B) both the former and the latter are in lack of noise-shelter
C) there is noise-shelter system in the former
D) the users of the former used to suffer from a variety of noise
E) noise would entertain the citizens while they were driving their cars
34) It is clear from the passage that Lexus and Lotus Elise, car-manufacturers, -----------.
A) have made a great fortune from the brand-new cars
B) stress on noiselessness and performance, respectively
C) are likely to be subject to many criticisms due to roaring cars
D) are going bankrupt since they mass-produce noisy cars
E) will turn the car-making into a new era

35.-37. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.
Some dreams feel so revelatory, if only returning to sleep would take us back there. It turns out, however, that our ability to shape our dreams is better than mere chance. In the blockbuster movie Inception, Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his compatriots use drugs and psychological profiles to trigger specific dreams in people. Although the heavy sedation and level of detail incited are far-fetched, dream control isn't entirely a Hollywood fantasy. Techniques to control, or at least influence, our dreams have been shown to work in sleep experiments. We can strategize to dream about a particular subject, solve a problem or end a recurring nightmare. With practice we can also increase our chances of having a lucid dream, the sort of "dream within a dream" that Inception's characters regularly slip into.
35) One can conclude from the passage that -----, according to what has emerged in recent times.
A) an individual’s dominating the dreams is within his capacity
B) a dream has the potential to treat the incurable diseases
C) the result of some sleep experiments enlightens the mystery of some events
D) people’s ability to foresee on something is far from reality
E) people are rather bored to witness easy-to-understand dreams
36) According to the writer of the passage, one of the Hollywood movies “Inception”; ------.
A) has dissuaded the researchers from investigating into dreams
B) is in fact non-fictional product
C) is becoming a work of feature film production
D) does not bridge in terms of its narration on the dreams
E) includes valuable data on the initial earth
37) It is asserted in the passage that as people make more studies into the dreams, ------.
A) they can enhance their contents
B) they find them rather pointless
C) they become isolated from the world
D) they can guess mysterious events
E) they will manipulate the natural disasters

There are some debates as to what constitutes children's literature. In general, the term comprises both those books which are selected and read by children themselves, as well as those decided as 'appropriate for children' by authorities.
