According to the passage, the 'microbiome' ----.
For most of medical history, bacteria were seen almost entirely as enemies to be destroyed. Over the past two decades, however, researchers have come to recognise that the human body is home to trillions of microbes, most of which live in the gut and many of which are essential to our health. This community, known as the microbiome, helps us digest food, produces certain vitamins and trains the immune system to tell harmful invaders from harmless substances. Some studies even suggest that the microbiome may influence mood and behaviour, although this research is still at an early stage. These findings have led some scientists to warn against the overuse of antibiotics, which can kill beneficial bacteria along with harmful ones.
- A) can only be protected by avoiding all kinds of medicine
- B) consists mainly of harmful bacteria that live in the gut
- C) was discovered more than a century ago by medical researchers
- D) is a community of microbes that contributes to several bodily functions
- E) has been shown to be the main cause of mood disorders

Soru 4
According to the passage, early urban planners ----.
In the mid-20th century, many city planners believed that the car represented the future of urban life. Wide highways were built through city centres, and entire neighbourhoods were demolished to make room for them. Within a few decades, however, the costs of this approach had become obvious: traffic congestion grew worse rather than better, air quality declined, and communities that had been divided by highways often fell into poverty. Today, a growing number of cities are trying to reverse these decisions. Seoul, for example, removed an elevated highway in 2005 and restored the stream that had once flowed beneath it, creating a popular public park. Such projects show that urban spaces designed around people rather than vehicles can improve both the environment and quality of life.
- A) preferred to build parks rather than highways in city centres
- B) designed cities mainly around the needs of pedestrians
- C) were aware that highways would lead to more traffic congestion
- D) tried to protect neighbourhoods from being divided by roads
- E) considered the car to be central to the development of cities

Soru 7
According to the passage, the 'testing effect' refers to the finding that ----.
Most students prepare for exams by rereading their notes and highlighting key passages. Although these strategies feel productive, research in cognitive psychology suggests that they are among the least effective ways to learn. A far more powerful technique is retrieval practice, which involves trying to recall information from memory, for instance by answering practice questions or writing down everything one remembers about a topic. This phenomenon, often called the testing effect, has been demonstrated in hundreds of studies: students who test themselves remember considerably more weeks later than those who spend the same amount of time rereading. Interestingly, retrieval practice works even when students get the answers wrong, provided they receive feedback afterwards.
- A) taking too many tests causes stress and harms long-term memory
- B) rereading notes is the most effective way to prepare for an exam
- C) students who highlight their notes perform better in exams
- D) students remember information only if they answer every question correctly
- E) trying to recall information helps people remember it better than reviewing it

Soru 10
According to the passage, coral bleaching occurs when ----.
Coral reefs cover less than one percent of the ocean floor, yet they support around a quarter of all marine species. Corals get their colour and most of their food from tiny algae that live inside their tissues. When water temperatures rise even slightly above normal for several weeks, corals expel these algae and turn white, a process known as bleaching. Bleached corals are not dead, and they can recover if temperatures return to normal quickly. If the heat persists, however, they starve and eventually die. Because ocean temperatures are rising worldwide, scientists fear that mass bleaching events, once rare, may soon occur almost every year.
- A) corals lose the algae that live in their tissues because the water stays too warm
- B) corals die immediately after a sudden drop in water temperature
- C) fishermen remove the algae that give corals their colour
- D) the ocean floor becomes covered with too many marine species
- E) algae multiply rapidly and block the sunlight reaching the corals
