Scientists have discovered that sunspots, that is, explosions on the sun’s surface, may cause certain species of whales to become trapped in the shallow waters of the North Sea. The radiation from sunspots may interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field, which the whales might be using to help them find their way in the oceans. Scientists think that this interference may confuse the whales so that, during their yearly migration from the Azores, they mistakenly go into the North Sea instead of the deeper waters of the Norwegian Sea, their traditional territory.
58. According to the passage, it is thought that, —-
? the North Sea provides better shelter and more food for all kinds of whales than the Norwegian Sea does
? whenever solar explosions take place, there occur serious environmental problems on Earth
? for their journeys in the oceans, some whales may depend, for direction, on the Earth’s magnetic field

Scientists think that this interference may confuse the whales so that, during their yearly migration from the Azores, they mistakenly go into the North Sea instead of the deeper waters of the Norwegian Sea, their traditional territory.
59. One understands from the passage that scientists —-.
? have overlooked the question of sunspots and their effects on the Earth’s magnetic field
? have carried out much research to understand the impact of solar explosions upon life on Earth
? finally seem to understand the reasons why some kinds of whales fail to get to the Norwegian Sea
? now know for certain that the radiation from sunspots has an adverse effect on marine life in the oceans
? have always wondered about the routes whales take in the oceans for their yearly migration

However, some 100 years ago, people who wanted to learn more regarding the weather could not learn it in a university. But today, many people study the weather in universities throughout the world. The main laws have been established although there is still a lot we have to learn about meteorology.

During the Ottoman period, a small but increasing number of European travellers began to explore and study the sites of ancient cities in Western Turkey. In this regard, the first systematic exploration was made in 1811 by Captain Beaufort of the British Royal Navy, who mapped the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and identified some of the ancient sites there. This was followed by a number of other archaeological expeditions, including Charles Fellows’s explorations, from 1838 to 1844, of the southwestern part of the country, called “Lycia” in antiquity. But the most exciting find was Heinrich Schliemann’s rediscovery of Troy in excavations that began in 1870. Since then, most of the ancient cities of Western Turkey have probably been unearthed and studied, at least to some extent. The more famous of them, such as Pergamum, Ephesus, Sardis and Aphrodisias, are now the subjects of large-scale excavations and restorations that have recreated a fragmentary image of their former splendour.
64. It is implied in the passage that the European explorations and studies of Western Turkey’s ancient sites made prior to the early nineteenth century —-.
? mainly focused on the historically most important ones such as Pergamum, Ephesus, Sardis and Aphrodisias
? had a secret military purpose and, therefore, lacked any historical interest
? were in fact essentially concerned with the search for the actual site of Tro
? provided archaeologists with a great deal of information indispensable for their excavations
? had not been carried out according to a plan
During the Ottoman period, a small but increasing number of European travellers began to explore and study the sites of ancient cities in Western Turkey. In this regard, the first systematic exploration was made in 1811 by Captain Beaufort of the British Royal Navy, who mapped the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and identified some of the ancient sites there. This was followed by a number of other archaeological expeditions, including Charles Fellows’s explorations, from 1838 to 1844, of the southwestern part of the country, called “Lycia” in antiquity. But the most exciting find was Heinrich Schliemann’s rediscovery of Troy in excavations that began in 1870. Since then, most of the ancient cities of Western Turkey have probably been unearthed and studied, at least to some extent. The more famous of them, such as Pergamum, Ephesus, Sardis and Aphrodisias, are now the subjects of large-scale excavations and restorations that have recreated a fragmentary image of their former splendour.

? Lycia, as a region, has always attracted a great deal of attention from many travellers and archaeologists
? only Pergamum and Aphrodisias give us a full picture of their magnificence in the past
? exploration and excavation there has not continued into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
? Ephesus and Sardis, especially, have provided an extensive amount of data about life and society in antiquity

Auguste Renoir, the great French painter of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, came from a poor family and was for the most part self-taught. He led a quiet and happy life. He was content with his garden and the company of his family. He was the most traditional of the great artists of his time, such as Cézanne, Gaugain, or Van Gogh. And yet, scarcely any of his contemporaries so faithfully reflects the life and spirit of the period. When one turns to the paintings of this period to learn something of the visual aspects of its life, one will find hardly anything of significance in the works of these other painters. It is only in Renoir that one can find the colour and the joy and the character of everyday life. In that sense Renoir is the most representative painter of his age.

? did not show any interest in the search for new forms of artistic expression
? did not favour any novelties and changes in the tradition of painting
? lacked the courage and skill to rival him in a realistic depiction of their time

Great literature does not touch a reader only on one or two sides of his nature, but causes him to respond with his whole being. It has an effect on his senses, imagination, emotion, and intellect. It attempts not only to entertain the reader but to bring him fresh or renewed understanding of his own self as well as his experience of life and people. Thus, it gives him a broader and deeper understanding not only of himself but also of life and of his fellow men. The kind of perspective great literature gives cannot be summed up as a simple “lesson” or “moral”. It is knowledge – knowledge of the complexities of human nature, and knowledge of the tragedies and sufferings, the excitements and joys, that characterize the human experience.
73. According to the passage, the perspectives a reader gains from great literature —-.
? are usually connected with the tragedies and sufferings of human life
? can be described accurately
? only concern him and do not relate to the experiences of others
? are normally related to his emotions rather than to his intellect
? cannot easily be defined as a simple lesson of right and wrong
