An amazing development in keyhole surgery has beenthe use of remotely-operated robots to performminimally invasive procedures. Keyhole surgery meansthat the surgeon’s hands do not need to be inside thepatient – all cuts and stitches are carried out by delicateinstruments inserted through the keyhole incisions. Thishas made it possible for these instruments to beoperated mechanically by a surgeon at a console thatdoes not necessarily need to be in the same room, thesame hospital – or indeed, the same country. In 2000,the US Federal Drug Administration approved a robotickeyhole system called ‘da Vinci’ for clinical use. Inconventional keyhole surgery, the surgeon must standand transfer his gaze between the instruments and thedisplay screen. However, da Vinci allows the surgeon tobe seated – for greater comfort during lengthyprocedures. Two endoscopes give full stereoscopicvision, while hand and foot controls are used to operatethe instruments simultaneously and with greater rangeof movement than that permitted by human hand andwrist joints. In the future, a top surgical specialist in theUS could operate on an injured soldier on a farawaybattlefield.

It is stated in the passage that ----.

the US Federal Drug Administration’s approval of daVinci paved the path to robotic surgery

conventional keyhole surgery is different from robotickeyhole surgery in that it takes less time

one advantage of robotic keyhole surgery is that it ismore comfortable for the surgeon

conventional keyhole surgery is less tiring to carry outfor surgeons since they use less equipment

in conventional keyhole surgery surgeons have to beseated to pay attention to the equipment

According to the passage, in conventional keyholesurgery, ----.

the surgeon’s hands enter the patient’s body

incisions are larger than those in robotic surgery

very few instruments are used during operations

surgeons might have a rest during operations

manual movements are much more restricted

It is understood from the passage that ----.

da Vinci is a robotic surgeon that is able to carry outoperations on its own

conventional keyhole surgery is highly suitable forlengthy and tiring operations

surgeons have to stand up while carrying out anoperation in robotic keyhole surgery

in robotic surgery surgeons can use their four limbsduring the operation

the use of remotely operated robots in surgery is amainstream practice in the US

One can infer from the passage that ----.

thanks to technological developments in medicalsurgery it is less stressful for surgeons to operate onpatients for lengthy periods

new medical technologies will eventually make itpossible to carry out operations without any need formedical professionals in the future

the US is making serious investments in developinginnovative medical equipment in order to enablesurgeons to operate from distant locations

new technological developments in medical operationsenable surgeons to do their work more precisely andwithout restrictions of space

keyhole surgery is so accurate and comfortable thatmost surgeons will soon carry out operations usingsuch minimally invasive methods

It is not just the rights to solid, visible property that needto be protected; ownership of invisible property such asideas and artistic creations also require protection. Aninventor has little incentive to innovate if he knows thathis invention will be seized from him – depriving him ofany reward for his work – as soon as it is finished. So,for an economy to function properly, governments haveto ensure they have a stable system of patents andother intellectual property rights. Copyright, for example,protects writers, for a set period of time, againstplagiarism. Intellectual property rights have come undergreat scrutiny in recent years thanks to the rise ofemerging economies such as China and India. In suchcountries, regulations and laws on intellectual propertyand common standards have proven hard to uphold. Asa result, companies have been able to produce, forexample, cheap and unlicensed versions of drugs basedon the research and development of Westernpharmacological companies. Although consumersinitially welcomed such projects, there havesubsequently been several scares over whether goodsproduced in these countries can be trusted. Forinstance, some counterfeit drugs produced in Chinahave turned out to have no effect, or even to be harmful.Hence, there must be strict regulations regarding boththe use and selling of these drugs.

One can understand from the passage that ----.

upholding invisible copyrights has a potential dangerof jeopardizing the health of poor people

copyrights to solid, visible property tend to beobserved by the emerging economies in Asia

for an economy to be protected, governments have tosimplify their laws on patents and copyrights

neglecting intellectual property rights can discourageinnovation and may risk public health

emerging economies are particularly careful aboutadhering to intellectual copyright laws

According to the passage, it is one thing for thepublic to welcome cheap drugs, it is another to ----.

persuade countries such as China to stop deceivingthe consumers

support emerging economies in their actions

discard some of the sanctions on companies makingcounterfeit drugs

be watchful of the effects and quality of these drugs

tell them that some of these drugs were actually madein the West

It can be understood from the passage that theprotection of invisible property ----.

has been recently discussed among people such asinventors and writers

deserves more consideration than the protection ofvisible property

directly increases the complexity with which aneconomy functions

disturbs a stable system of patent-giving mechanisms

may encourage inventors to produce innovative works

It is stated in the passage that the issue ofintellectual property rights ----.

has become more important since companies indeveloping countries gain undeserved profit from theexpertise of Western research

inevitably brings up the issue of how willing theemerging economies of China and India are toredefine regulations

has long been respected even in emerging economiesof the countries like China and India

is largely on the agenda of Western pharmacologicalcompanies which invest in research and development

is more often debated in reference to cheap buttrustworthy versions of drugs produced by Indian andChinese companies

In February 1997, newspapers around the worldreported the birth in Edinburgh, Scotland, of a lambnamed Dolly. Such an event would not normally beconsidered newsworthy. Even the fact that Dolly had anidentical twin would not typically have added much tothe story. But the event was truly a landmark in science,because this lamb was not born in the usual way.Rather than being the product of a sperm and an eggfrom two parents, Dolly came into existence when thegenetic material from an adult sheep was transplantedinto a cell that developed into an exact copy of thatsheep. For the moment, most scientists are talkingabout relatively non-controversial applications of thetechnology – such as cloning cows that are especiallygood milk producers. It is undoubtedly just a matter oftime before the technology is in place to create copies ofother humans from the DNA in the nucleus of a singlecell. Consider the potential benefits to society. We couldmake perfect, but younger, copies of brilliant scientists,surgeons, or even chefs. Infertile couples could behelped to bear children, and genetic diseases couldperhaps be cured or prevented by manipulating thestructure of the genes causing them. The extraordinarybirth of a lamb named Dolly serves as an appropriateentry into the relatively new and fascinating world ofhuman genetics.

It can be understood from the passage that ----.

the birth of Dolly has been reported in the localnewspapers since 1997

the way Dolly was born made the birth quite difficult forher mother

Dolly was different from other lambs as she was abetter milk producer

the birth of Dolly was important because of the factthat she had a twin

the birth of Dolly was impressive as she was the firstof her kind

scientists are pessimistic about the chances of cloningcows

the birth of Dolly paves the way for further scientificdevelopment

creating Dolly is like science-fiction rather than ascientific success

experiments on human cloning have beenconducted recently

society will utilize cloning only when cloning of humansbecomes legal

According to the passage, one of the advantages ofcloning is that ----.

even infertile couples could have babies

cows could produce larger quantities of milk than theydo currently

we may not need any other skillful scientists orsurgeons

there will not be any diseases related to genes

it may help eliminate the controversial uses of scienceand technology

Nuray: With fiction, for example, there will be classics,

romance or horror sections.

So it’s a pragmatic question of what to put where.

Cemil: Oh, I see. Politicians often do the same thing. For

example, ‘user fees’ is the term they use for‘taxes’.

However, this all depends on whom you’re talking to.We often try to be more polite while communicatingwith authority figures or our supervisors.

Actually, we use them to refer to taboo topics likedisability and death. Do you understand what I mean?

Sure, but over-politeness can also disturb people andmake them feel like you want to put a safe distancebetween you and them.

I especially want to emphasize language change.Some words lose their original meanings and gain newones depending on the context or tone.

Among many innovations in the history ofmankind, there have been no greater developmentsthan the preliminary stone tools to hunt animals andradio telescopes that enable man to investigate deepspace.

There have been many significant developments sincethe beginning of history, ranging from the first stonetools used by man for hunting animals to radiotelescopes that can be used to observe deep space.

Nothing is as important as the first stone tools andradio telescopes which have been helpful forhumanity to hunt animals and see the deep spacerespectively.

Afterdecades spent searching in vain, manyseismologists now doubt whether such a signaleven exists. ---- Within seconds of an earthquake’sfirst subtle motions, scientists can now predict withsome certainty how strong and widespread theshaking will be.

Nevertheless, not all hope is lost.

This would put people out of the harm’s way.

This is enough to send shutdown warnings to powerplants.

An earthquake early-warning system could provide a20-second warning to the heart of the region.

The nationwide network issues warnings via mosttelevision and radio stations.

The brain analyzes the flood of incominginformation, decides how to respond, and sendsoutgoing signals to muscles and other organs,telling them what to do. ---- However, many parts ofthe nervous system work automatically, controllingyour internal organs and reflexes without yourconscious awareness.

The nervous system has two main parts: the centralnervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

The nervous system in the human body is made up ofbillions of cells called neurons used for sending andreceiving information.

Nerve cells located almost everywhere in yourbody have long extensions called axons that canstretch to 1 m in length.

Much of your nervous system is under voluntarycontrol, which means you can choose how to react.

While man-made wires carry power, the cells thatmake up the nervous system carry information.

In his renowned theory of relativity, theGerman-born Nobel Prize-winning theoreticalphysicist Albert Einstein discarded the nowdiscredited theory of ether and came to aconclusion: the speed of light remains constant,regardless of a light source’s motion. ---- Forinstance, as a rocket accelerates, time passes moreslowly for the rocket, and its length shortens.Conversely, from the rocket’s point of view, clockson the Earth advance more quickly.

Instead, space and time are altered in accordancewith the object’s movement.

Not only is the speed of light always and everywherethe same, it is also the absolute maximum speed limit.

Albert Einstein, a great physicist, transformed ourunderstanding of time and space.

Mathematically, general relativity is much morecomplicated than special relativity.

Neither special nor general relativity is significant atthe speeds achieved by cars, airplanes or high-speedtrains.

In the early 1980s, Israeli scientist Dan Shechtmandiscovered that snow crystals could form instructures that are ordered, but that have norepeating pattern. ---- It turns out, he should nothave worried as he was awarded the Nobel Prize forthe work in 2011. The structures, now known asquasicrystals, resemble Moorish mosaics such asthose found in the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.

Since Shechtman’s publication, hundredsof quasicrystals have been created in the laboratory.

It was 100 years ago when the technique of X-raydiffraction, which Shechtman used a lot in hisstudies, first allowed the detailed study of crystals.

The idea was so controversial that he did not publishhis results for two years, fearing that no one wouldbelieve him.

Shechtman’s findings were not enough; the world hadto wait until 2010 for a natural crystal to be identified.

When he published his findings, Shechtman had toconfront a lot of criticism.
