Merhaba, daha önce bu dökümanı sınava girenlere katkısı olsun diye examtakers.com üzerinden
vermiştim. İşte o dökümanı biraz daha genişleterek tekrar sizlere sunuyorum. Sınavlardaki başarınızda
bir nebze olsun katkım olursa ne mutlu bana…Hayır duanızı eksik etmesiniz kafi… Lütfen bu
dökümanı Üds-Kpds sınavlarına girmeden önce irdeleyiniz. Elimden geldiğince sınavlarda çıkmış ve
çıkabilecek düzeyde örnek bol cümleler verdim. Bunları sayfa çok tutsun diye eklemedim ; verdiğim
örnekleri dikkatlice irdeleyiniz, ve özümseyiniz. Göreceksiniz ki sınavda karşınıza çok benzer düzeyde
cümleler çıkacaktır.

Sınavlardaki asıl başarının okumaktan geçtiğini de unutmayınız. Yani bir kelime ya da gramer yapısını
cümle içerisinde ne kadar fazla görürseniz o kadar iyi özümsersiniz. Lütfen bol örnek cümle görünüz.
Bu anlamda iyi bir sözlük kullanınız. Piyasadaki 2-3 tane olan KPDS-ÜDS sözlükleri maalesef işinizi
görmeyecekir. Çünkü kanımca onlarda 1-2 den fazla örnek cümle yoktur ve kullanılan örnek cümleler
maalesef bu sınava girenlerin sınavlarda karşılaşacağı düzeyde örnek cümleler yerine basit örnek
cümlelerdir. Bu da sınav esnasında çıkan cümlelerden çok farklı olduğu için bizi sınavlarda yarı yolda
bırakmaktadır. O yüzden Longman, Oxford gibi detaylı hazırlanmış sözlükleri kullanın. Collins-
Cobuilt’n cd versiyonunda çok fazla sayıda örnek cümle vardır, yada Gerry’s Vocabulary Teacher.
Bunları edinmeye çalışınız.

Kelime yada herhangi bir gramer yapısını öğrenirken bunları formüllerle yada kuru kelime listeleriyle
değil, lütfen cümleler içinde görerek aklınıza yazınız. Mesela although dan sonra cümle gelir, if type 1
yapısı şöyle olur demek yerine onları cümlelerde görünüz ve aklınıza not ediniz. Yada bir kelime
öğrenirken diyelim ki increase. Increase artırmak diye ezberlemek yerine cümle içerisinde yada diğer
bu kelimeye yapışan sülük gibi tutunan kelimelerle öğreniniz. Yani aşağıdaki gibi…

If the world's population continues to increase, one day there will not be enough food for everyone.
You can expect a slight increase in pay every six months.
Our sales continue to increase as our name gets known.
The price for CD burners has decreased significantly since they first appeared on the market.
The telephone company has announced that the fee for single-line service will increase by 3% this
year.
Use of the Internet to download music is becoming increasingly popular.

Paragraflarla ilgili soru türlerine geçmeden önce paragraflarla ilgili genel bilgi verelim.

PARAGRAF SORULARIYLA NASIL BAŞEDERİZ ???

Öncelikle en kesin ve kalıcı yolun okumak olduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Sınavlara yönelik paragraf

nedenle bol okumak şarttır.

TOPIC SENTENCE – KONU CÜMLESİ

The punishment of criminals has always been a problem for society. Citizens have had to decide
whether offenders such as first-degree murderers should be killed in a gas chamber, imprisoned for
life, or rehabilitated and given a second chance in society. Many citizens argue that serious criminals
should be executed. They believe that killing criminals will set an example for others and also rid
society of a cumbersome burden. Other citizens say that no one has the right to take a life and that
capital punishment is not a deterrent to crime. They believe that society as well as the criminal is
responsible for the crimes and that killing the criminal does not solve the problems of either society or
the criminal.

Bu örnek paragrafta koyu yazılmıs olan kısım bizim topic sentence (ana fakir, konu) dediğimiz

Though the United States has spent billions of dollars on foreign aid programs, it has captured neither
the affection nor esteem of the rest of the world. In many countries today Americans are cordially
disliked; in others merely tolerated. The reasons for this sad state of affairs are many and
varied, and some of them are beyond the control of anything this country might do to try to
correct them. But harsh as it may seem to the ordinary citizen, filled as he is with good
intentions and natural generosity, much of the foreigners' animosity has been generated by the
way Americans behave.

Because language plays such an important role in teaching, Bellack and his colleagues chose to
examine in some detail the "language game" in the classroom. They contended that teaching is similar
to most games in at least two respects. It is a form of social activity in which the players (teachers and
students) fill different but complementary roles. Furthermore, teaching is governed by certain ground
rules that guide the actions or moves made by the participants. By studying the language game, then,
Bellack et al. intended to identify the various types of verbal moves made by teachers and students and
the rules they followed in making these moves. As a result, they could investigate the functions
these verbal moves served and examine the meanings that were being communicated.

Ve
PARAGRAFA UYGUN OLMAYAN CÜMLELER – IRRELEVANT SENTENCES

Genel Bilgi: Aslında paragrafı yukarıda anlatılanlar ışığında tanımak her türlü paragraf sorusu için
gereklidir.

Paragraf tamamlama ve paragrafa uymayan cümleyi atma aslında aynı soru tipidir. Fakat paragrafa
uymayanı atma sınava girenlere kısmen daha kolay gelir. İkisinde de dikkat edilmesi gereken bir kaç
nokta vardır:

• Çok genel ve çok özel ifadeler


• Referans (atıf kelimeleri)
• Paragraftaki zaman bütünlüğü
• Bağlayıcı kelimeler

1. İlk Cümle

Paragrafın geri kalan kısmını içine alacak bir konu cümlesi olmalıdır. Genelde sınava girenler özellikle
paragrafa uymayan cümleyi atma soru tipinde bu ilk cümleyi okur okumaz bunu paragrafın ilk cümlesi
gibi algılayıp geri kalanları buna yapıştırmayı denerler. O sebeple ilk 2 cümlenin bir birine bağlantılı
olup olmadığına dikkat etmek önem taşır.

2. Son cümle

Paragrafı özetleyecek, sonuca bağlayacak bir cümle ya da bu cümleden önce gelecek cümle ile
bağlantı kurabilecek bir cümle

3. Gereksiz zaman değişikliklerine dikkat edelim.

Paragraflarda geçen cümleler arasında zaman yönünden tutarlılık vardır. Birtakım bağlaçlar ve geçiş
kelimeleri olmaksızın ani zaman (tense) değişikliklerine gidilemez.

4. Aşağıdaki ifadelere dikkat edelim. ( Şimdiye kadar sınavlarda çıkan bu soru türlerinden
alınmıştır.)

(I)The earliest really high buildings belong to Chicago. (II) They have a steel -frame
construction. (III) Louis Sullivan was the outstanding architect of this Chicago school of
architecture. (IV) More important, however, is the fact that they are truly splendid buildings,
with a vigour and sureness and character, that is all their own. (V) It is no wonder that similar
buildings began to appear not only in other cities in the US but in other cities throughout the
world.

Açıklama: Parçada 3. dışındaki cümleler Chicago daki yüksek binalardan, bunların özelliklerinden ve
bunların diğer başka yerlerde de görüldüğünden söz ediyor. 3. cümlede ise birden konuyla alakası
olmayan bir mimardan söz ediyor. Parçadaki atıf kelimeleri de bize 3. cümlenin parçayla ilgisi

I) My own knowledge of Jane Austen’s life, character and opinions depends mainly on her letters.
(II) Some 150 of these survive. (III) Most are to her sister Cassandra and are really family letters
intended for the whole family. (IV) Her nephew was to write a Memoir of his aunt, but he was
old when he did so. (V) There are only a few written to friends, and these are the ones that reveal
most about her.

Açıklama: Parçada kişi Jane Austen ile ilgili bilgisini onun mektuplarına dayandırıyor. Bu
mektupların 150 kadar olduğunu söylüyor ve bunları most ve a few olarak olarak ayırırıp
kimlere olduğunu belirtiyor. 4. cümlede ise her nephew gibi bir atıf yanıltması yapılmasına
rağmen cümlenin mektuplarla ilgili değil yeğenin yazmak istediği hayat hikayesisle ilgili olduğu
görülüyor.

(II) A steeper drop in demand will now make overcapacity worse. (III) The debate is now over how

due to lower interest rate and a looser fiscal policy.

Açıklama: Parçada ekonomistlerin Amerikada olabilecek ekonomik durgunluk üzerinde değil bu


durgunluğun ne kadar sarsıcı olabilecegi üzerinde tartıştıklarından söz ediyor. (Burada çıkarım
yapmak gerekirse ekonomistler Amerika da bir ekonomik durgunluk olacağından eminler.) 2. cümle
ise konu dışı olarak talepteki düşüşten söz ediyor ve parçaya herhangi bir atıf kelimesiyle

(I)Currently there has been a noticeable drop in applications for MBA courses in the USA. (II) If
the economy picks up, the situation could change. (III) This is partly because fewer people can

on graduation.

Açıklama: Parça Amerika’daki MBA kurslarına başvuranların sayısındaki düşüş ve bu düşüşün


sebepleri hakkında. 2. cümle ise konu dışı olarak ekononinin iyileşmesiyle durumun değişeceği

(I) During the 1960s and 1970s, the decision was made to send humans into space, instead of just
shipping machines. (II) There were two main reasons for this. (Ill) One was the ability of humans to

overcome by the human astronauts; these are medical, physiological, psychological and psycho-
sociological in nature.

kararından sözediyor. 2. cümledeki this ile bu karara gönderme yapılarak iki tane sebepten
bahsediyor.3. cümle one was ve the other was ile bu nedenleri sıralıyor. Son cümle ise uzaya insan
gönderilmesinde sıralanan iki sebep olmasına rağmen aşılması gereken engellerden bahsederek
konuyla bağlantılı olarak konu cümlesini tamamlıyor. 4. cümlede uzun süreli seyehatlerden
bahsederek ( long-term journeys) paragrafın diğer cümlelerinden uzaklaşıyor. Zaten konu cümlesi 1.

Halbuki 4. cümle yeni bir paragraf oluşturabilecek kadar genel bir konu cümlesi özelliği taşıyor.

(I) The film Last Samurai takes place in Japan in the mid-1870s and is based on the life of Saigo
Takamori, a samurai. (II) This samurai lived during the period of transition in which the country's
ancient feudal culture, symbolized by samurai warriors, was being rapidly replaced by western ways.
(III) Production of the film began at the 1000-year-old Engyoji temple in Himeji near Tokyo. (IV)
Throughout the film, the producers tried to be true to the elegant simplicity of Japanese architecture.
(V) The rest of the film was made in New Zealand, where they built a replica of a 17th century samurai
village, and in California.

Açıklama: Parça bir samurayın hayat hikayesine dayandırılmış son samuray filmi hakkında. Bu
samurayla ilgili bilgi verilip ; filme nerede başlandığı ve filmin nerede bitirildiği ekleniyor. 4.
cümlede ise muhtemelen Japon mimarisiyle ilgili başka bir filmden söz ediyor.Zaten filmin başlandığı
yer ve bitirilmesi ile ilgili cümleler arasına ( III-V) filmin konusunun girmesi bu film son samuray
filmi de olsa uymazdı.

Açıklama: Parçanın konusu olarak verilen 1. cümlede öğrenme güçlüğü çeken bir çocuğun çok fazla
başarısızlık yaşadığından söz ediyor. Diğer cümlelerin de bu durumlara örnekler vermesi ve özel
(specific) olması beklenir. Oysa ikinci cümle, kendine güven olmaksızın gerçek bir ilerlemenin
mümkün olmadığını dile getiriyor. Belki bu cümle 5. cümleden sonra ufak bir değişiklikle getirilse
parçaya oturabilir. Ama 2. cümle hem bulunduğu yer hemde genel (general) yani konu cümlesi
olabilecek bir anlatıma sahip olması bakımından, parçadan atılması gerken cümledir.

ÜDS 2006 SOSYAL BİLİMLER

(I) Archaeologists have to bear in mind some points when working with early historical chronologies
(II) This system can be confirmed and refined using astronomy. (III) The chronological system
requires careful reconstruction, and any list of rulers or kings needs to be reasonably complete. (IV)
The list, although it may reliably record the number of years in each reign, has still to be linked with
our own calendar if it is not to remain merely a “floating chronology”. (V) The artifacts, features, or
structures to be dated at a particular site have somehow to be related to the historical chronology,
perhaps by their association with an inscription referring to the ruler of the time.

Açıklama: Parça arkeologların tarihi kronolojilerle üzerine çalışmalar yaparken dikkat etmeleri
gereken noktolar üzrine ve 2. cümle dısında diğer cümleler bununla ilgili. 2. cümlede ise This system
in atıfta bulunduğu herhangi bir sey ilk cümlede yeralmıyor. Astronominin cümlede yeralıp
devamında da bundan söz edilmemesi 2. cümlenin parçayla ilgisi olmadığını rahatlıkla bize veriyor.

(I) Transport yourself back to the early 1960s before the now-famous television series Star Trek first
appeared. (II) At that time, only visionaries would have dared imagine that people of the 23rd century
would be learning about the world on huge flat-panel video screens and talking to one another across
the width of the planet using wireless devices. (III) Future weapons will dispense entirely with the
clumsy darts and wires. (IV) Yet today these scenes are commonplace. (V) So it is fitting that new
high-tech devices also have similarities with fictional technology as it was first presented on that
famous science-fiction series.

Açıklama: Parça yıldız savaşları serisi ile ilgili. 3. cümle ise gelecekteki silahlardan bahsediyor. Hem

are scanned at high resolution and a computer breaks them down into digital elements called

least four people had worked on the six faces in the painting. (V) The wavelets are then analyzed
statistically to find consistencies or differences.

Family-owned companies are bad for business, a new study argues at least when they dominate a
large portion of a country’s economy. [ FINDINGS OF THIS STUDY ARE AS FOLOWS ] Outside
the United States and Britain most major corporations are in the hands of a few wealthy families,
rather than, as in the US and Britain, being owned by a wide network of shareholders. The power of
thesesmall families often extends far beyond the companies they own directly, thanks to a system of
“control pyramids” in which they exercise indirect control over a large number of smaller companies.
This concentration of corporate power doesn’t merely leave-a high percentage of wealth in the hands
of billionaires. it also retards growth, diminishes efficiency, and limits economic freedom. Moreover,
“a tiny elite that cannot be sacked,” as the study puts it, is likely to pursue “economic entrenchment”,
in which property rights and financial openness are restricted to protect a few families’ economic and
political prerogatives or rights.

The aim of the passage is to ----.

A) highlight the different ways in which business is carried on in the US and in Britain
B) compare small family businesses and large corporations
C) present the findings of a research project into the nature of large, family-owned corporations
D) discredit the practices of big business, especially when shareholders are involved
E) contradict the conclusions of a study into the practices of large, family-owned corporations

Engineering is akin to writing or painting in that it is a creative endeavour that begins in the mind’s
eye and proceeds into new frontiers of thought and action, where it does not so much find as make
new things. Just as the poet starts with a blank sheet of paper and the artist with a blank canvas, so the
engineer today begins with a blank computer screen. Until the outlines of a design are set down,
however tentatively, there can be no appeal to science or to critical analysis to judge or test the design.
Scientific, rhetorical or aesthetic principles may be called on to inspire, refine and finish a design, but
creative things do not come of applying the principles alone. Without the sketch of a thing or a
diagram of a process, scientific facts and laws are of little use to engineers. Science may be the theater,
but engineering is the action on the stage.

The writer’s main aim in this passage is to ----.

A) show how many different types of creativity there are


B) stress the creative and constructive aspects of an engineer’s work
C) compare and contrast the way poets and painters work
D) show that literary creativity is superior to the painter’s creativity
E) establish the fact that it is the engineers’ scientific knowledge that makes him creative

We should care about dying languages for the same reason that we care when a species of animal or
plant dies. It reduces the diversity of our planet. In the case of language, we are talking about
intellectual and cultural diversity, not biological diversity,[ DIVERSITY OF SPECIES AND
PLANTS] but the issues are the same. As a result of decades of environmental publicity and
activism, most people have come to accept that biodiversity is a good thing. But linguistic diversity
has not enjoyed the same publicity. Diversity occupies a central place in evolutionary theory because
enables a species to survive in different environments. Increasing uniformity holds dangers for the
long-term survival of a species. The strongest ecosystems are those which are most diverse. It has
often been said that our success in colonizing the planet can be accounted for by our ability to develop
diverse cultures which suit different environments.

According to the writer, diversity on earth ----.

A) is rapidly becoming reduced owing to lack of public interest in it


B) consist not only of the diversity of species and plants but also of languages and cultures
C) has only recent become a research concern among environmentalists
D) has encouraged man to exploit his environment
E) can best be maintained through the preservation of different languages

In this century, the wealth and success of nations will depend like never before on the ability to
produce and use knowledge. Universities have long been instrumental in generating knowledge and
ideas. But in an increasingly globalized world, and in the face of rapid scientific change, they will
need to think about a set of new challenges and how best to prepare their students for the coming
decades. Universities will need to teach a new kind of literacy, in which global awareness will play an
important role. They also need to deal with the dilemmas posed by the accelerating pace of change
brought on by scientific and technological advances. We are on the brink of once-in-human-history
progress in combating disease through the application of modern science. Doctors will have at their
disposal blood tests that will tell you with substantial predictive power how long you will live and
from what diseases you are likely to suffer. The Internet and the application of information technology
may well represent the most profound change in the way knowledge is disseminated since the printing
press. We are close to understanding the first second of the history of the cosmos.

According to the passage, universities are under an obligation to ensure that their students ----.

A) have the chance to work alongside foreign students


B) are equipped to deal with the changing conditions of the coming decades
C) are introduced to international perspectives in every area of study
D) are taught not specific facts as much as broad ways of thinking
E) all have a good grounding in science and technology

The discovery of an ancient tomb in modern China is so commonplace that it often annoys as much
as excites, because it can delay construction for months or even years. So when archeologists were
called in last May to check structures discovered during the expansion of a bone-meal factory in a
southern suburb of Beijing, they weren’t expecting to find anything of great interest. To the
archeologists’ surprise, the structures were the remains of two traditional domed tombs, each over a
thousand years old. One was flooded and badly damaged, but the other contained beautifully-
preserved wall frescoes from the 10th century. “It’s only recently that the Chinese have been
publishing artifacts from ancient tombs, and it’s unusual to see them in the Western press,” says Dr
Jessica Rawson, Professor of Oriental Art and Archeology at Oxford University.

We learn from the passage that the Chinese ----.

A) show archeologists a great deal of respect


B) are very proud of their ancient archeological heritage
C) are very skilled in the art of frescoes
D) often have mixed feelings when an ancient tomb is discovered
E) used to prefer tombs without domes to those with domes

KPDS MAYIS 2006

The natives of the Lewis Island know wind – sometimes too well. Every winter the Atlantic gales
come blasting across the northern tip of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. The wind hardly slows down even
after striking land; in the island’s marshy interior, gusts regularly exceed 160kph. Everyone stays
indoors but the sheep. Tourists arrive in summer, lured by mild temperatures and unspoiled
countryside; even so, there’s rarely a calm day. “The weather here is changeable”, says Nigel Scott,
spokesman for the local government. “But the wind is constant”. The brutal climate could finally be
Lewis’s salvation. The place has been growing poorer and more desolate for generations, as young
people seek sunnier prospects elsewhere. But now the energy industry has discovered the storm-swept
island. The multinationals AMEC and British Energy are talking about plans to erect some 300 outsize
wind turbines across a few thousand hectares of moorland. If the 500 million-pound project goes
through, the array will be Europe’s largest wind farm, capable of churning out roughly 1 per cent of
Britain’s total electrical needs – and generating some badly needed jobs and cash for the people of
Lewis.

We understand from the passage that, in summer, the island of Lewis ----.

A) attracts visitors as nature there has remained unspoiled


B) enjoys a warm, wind-free climate
C) is one of the most attractive of the islands that make up the Outer Hebrides
D) has little to offer its inhabitants by way of a living other than fishing
E) can offer its inhabitants even less in the way of a livelihood than it can in the winter

Açıklama: attracts visitors as nature there has remained unspoiled = Tourists arrive in summer,
lured by mild temperatures and unspoiled countryside; - ATTRACT = LURE UNSPOILED
COUNTRYSIDE =UNSPOILED NATURE. Bozulmamış, el değmemiş bir yerin doğasının
bozulmamış olduğu muhakkaktır.

attempt from foreigners to speak Czech will be heartily appreciated, so do not be discouraged if
people fail to understand you, as most will be accustomed to hearing foreigners stumble through their

least, it is still the most widely spoken second language. Russian, once the compulsory second language
has been practically wiped off the school curriculum, and the number of English speakers has been
steadily increasing, especially among the younger generation.

Contrary to common knowledge, the water, milk and meat of coconuts only begin the list of uses of this
versatile tree. The outer husk of the ripe nuts contains fibres that, when separated, can be twisted into
twine rope of amazing toughness. It is quite resistant to rot from dampness or seawater. Despite the
advent of nails and screws, this rope continues to be widely used for binding together the timbers of
houses and the parts of canoes, tools and the like. Expert craftsmen can make sizeable ropes, which, after
use, become quite flexible. The inner shell of the ripe nut can be cut and carved into ladles, scrapers,
combs and cups and will take a high polish. Furthermore, the sap of the coconut can be fermented to
make a pleasant tasting wine, while the fresh sap can be used as food for babies.

The development of geology owes much to the work of non-professional observers. ( topic sentence ve
devamı bunun nedenleriyle ilgili ve bu konu üzerine geliştiriliyor.) In no other science, with the possible
exceptions of astronomy and archaeology, has the keen amateur participated so actively or contributed so
much. This is mainly because experimental methods of investigation involving complicated apparatus
typical of chemistry, physics and biology are of only limited use in geology, (2. sorunun cevabı ) which
results from the fact that geological processes work slowly (3. soruya ipucu) and depend on factors
beyond human control. The advance of geological knowledge has depended on simple observations,
patiently gathered (3. soruya ipucu) , of the outcrops of rocks, their thicknesses, their angles and their fossil
content.

A) some experimental methods of geological investigation
B) why geology is a science suitable for enthusiasts’ contribution( özellikle topic sentence ve

C) gradual developments in the field of geology over the years
D) why it is so difficult to gather geological information
E) how experts analyse geological data gathered in the field

14. It is clear from the passage that complex equipment for geological investigation …………… .
