V- Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions.

The Beatles became the most popular group in rock music history. This quartet of extraordinarily talented musicians generated a phenomenal number of pieces that won gold records. They inspired a frenzy that transcended countries and economic strata. While all of them sang, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the majority of their songs. Originally, Lennon and five others formed a group called the Quarrymen in 1956, with McCartney joining them later that year. George Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney, together with Stuart Sutcliffe, who played the bass guitar, and Pete Best on the drums, performed together in several bands for a few years, until they finally settled on the Silver Beatles in 1960. American rock musicians, such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, influenced Lennon’s and McCartney’s music, whose first hits consisted of simple tunes and lyrics about young love, “Love Me Do” and “Please, Please Me” The Beatles’ U.S. tour propelled them to stardom and led to two movies A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, filmed in 1964 and 1965. The so-called British invasion of the United States was in full swing when they took the top five spots on the singles charts, followed by the release of their first film.
During the 1960s, their music matured and acquired a sense of melody. The lyrics of their songs became deeper and gained in both imagination and meaning. Their popularity continued to grow as the Beatles turned their attention to social problems and political issues in “Nowhere Man” and “Eleanor Rigby.” Loneliness and nostalgia come through in their ballads “Michelle” and “Yesterday,” which fully displayed the group’s professional development and sophistication. Lennon’s sardonic music with lyrics written in the first person, and McCartney’s songs that created scenarios with off beat individuals, contributed to the character of the music produced by the group. In addition to their music, the Beatles set a social trend that popularized long hair, Indian music, and mod dress.
For a variety of reasons, the musicians began to drift apart, and their last concert took place in San Francisco in 1966. The newspapers and tabloids publicized their quarrels and lawsuits, and the much idolized group finally disbanded in 1970. However, their albums had outsold those of any other band in history. Although all of the Beatles continued to perform solo or form new rock groups, alone, none could achieve the recognition and success that they had been able to win together.
The author of the passage implies that the Beatles




A.competed with American musicians
B.wrote their music as a group
C.become popular relatively quickly
D.were active in social movements

IV- Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions.
Aspirin’s origins go back at least as early as 1758 .In that year , Englishman Edward Stone noticed a distinctive bitter flavor in the bark of the willow tree. To Stone , this particular bark seemed to have much in common with “Peruvian Bark ” , which had been used medicinally since the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria . Stone decided to test the effectiveness of the willow bark. He obtained some , pulverized it into tiny pieces , and conducted experiments in its properties . His tests demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains .In 1763, Stone presented his findings to the British Royal Society.
Several , decades later , further studies on the medicinal value of the willow bark were being conducted by two Italian scientists . These chemists , Brugnatelli and Fontana , determined that the active chemical that was responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was the chemical salicin , which is the active ingredient of today’s aspirin.
The name “aspirin” is the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin , properly known as acetylsalicylic acid . The trade name “aspirin” was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the Bayer Drug Company in Germany .The first bottles of aspirin actually went on the public just prior to the turn of the century , in 1899.
