YDS İngilizce Çıkmış Paragraf Soruları Çöz 16
Soru 1 |
There seems no question but that the clock dial, which has existed in its present form since the seventeenth century and in earlier forms since ancient times, is on its way out. More and more common are the digital clocks that mark off the hours, minutes, and seconds in ever-changing numbers. This certainly appears to be an advance in technology. You will no longer have to interpret the meaning of “the big hand on the eleven and the little hand on the five.” Your digital clock will tell you at once that it is 4:55. And yet there will be a loss in the conversion of dial to digital, and no one seems to be worrying about it. Actually, when something turns, it can turn in just one of two ways, clockwise or counter-clockwise, and we all know which is which. Clockwise is the normal turning direction of the hands of a clock, and counter-clockwise is the opposite of that. Since we all stare at clocks (dial clocks, that is), we have no trouble following directions or descriptions that include those words. But if dial clocks disappear, so will the meaning of those words for anyone who has never stared at anything but digitals.
The author maintains that, when dial clocks go out of use and only digitals are used, ----.
it will certainly be a major technological change
unprecedented in the past | |
people will continue to use the words “clockwise”
and “counter-clockwise” on a regular basis | |
most people will wonder about the meanings of
the words “clockwise” and “counter-clockwise” | |
the words “clockwise” and “counter-clockwise”
will cease to carry any meaning | |
it will be quite confusing for everyone to tell the
time right away |

has no meaning unless it is used with reference

clock move |

The author asserts that people ----.
today have a growing interest in dial clocks and

cause | |
can also define their position accurately by using
digital clocks | |
are not aware of the fact that in antiquity time
was completely disregarded | |
have already stopped using the words
“clockwise” and “counter-clockwise” to indicate
directions |

technologically new and more efficient clocks | |
do not seem to have much efficiency and easily
break down | |
are technologically more advanced and tell time
very precisely | |
have a number of drawbacks which make their
use rather restricted | |
have ceased to be in widespread use due to
some inexplicable technological shortcomings |

becoming less and less popular | |
has improved enormously since the seventeenth
century due to advances in technology | |
is still widely used despite the technological
progress in the manufacture of digital clocks | |
is no longer practical since one is often confused
about the meaning of the words “clockwise” and
“counter-clockwise” |

YDS İngilizce paragraf Soruları Nasıl Çözülür?
Genelde adayların korkulu rüyası olan paragraf sorularını nasıl en kısa yoldan çözebileceğinizi göstermeye çalışacağım. ÖSYM’nin en çok sevdiği soru tipi olan paragraf sorularını çözme yöntemi ise oldukça basittir.
Paragraf soruları okuduğunuzu anlamaya yönelik olarak sorulardır. Ancak öğrencilerin uzun sorular karşısındaki tutumu, “Ben bunu okuyup anlayana kadar çok zaman kaybederim.” veya “Bu kadar uzun bir soruyu çözmem imkânsız.” gibi ön yargılar yüzünden en fazla boş bırakılan veya yanlış yapılan sorulardır.
Hâlbuki paragraf sorularının çoğunun cevabı, kendi içerisinde yer alır. Öncelikle önyargılarımızı bir tarafa bırakın. Bu soruları hazırlayanların sizin dikkatinizi dağıtmak için değişik kelimeler kullandığını, aslında anlatılmak istenenin ne olduğunu görmek için dikkatinizi üst düzeyde kullanmanızın cevabı çok kısa bir süre içerisinde bulmanızı sağlayacağını fark ettiğinizde “Keşke Türkçe / edebiyat bölümü sorularının tamamı pargraflardan oluşsaydı.” diyeceksiniz.

Seçeneklere hızlıca göz Atın
Soru kökünü okuduktan sonra şıklara hızlıca bir göz atıyoruz. Bazen bir paragrafı okuduğunuzda hiçbir şey anlamayabilirsiniz ama şıklardan yola çıkarak cevabı bulabilirsiniz. Şıklardan iki tanesi aynı fikri savunuyorsa bu ikisi de doğru cevap olması imkansızdır. İki şık birbirine zıt ise bunlardan birinin doğru cevap olma ihtimali yüksektir.
