The Year 2300

It was 1800 hours in Tia Town, and the energy stores were closed for twenty seconds. This was all the time the operators needed to recharge their batteries and get ready for the next 86,380 seconds. At precisely 1800 hours and zero seconds, the residents of Tia Town arrived near the energy stores. The stores' windows would open for one second per person so he or she could be exposed to the energy spray and get their vitamins, minerals, and water for the day.
The mayor of Tia Town encouraged people to use drive-thru stores, but they all preferred standing in front of the windows for exercise. This was the only time of the day when people were unstrapped from their seatbelts. They felt happy to be doing something other than pushing buttons in their titanium cars. The happiness was so faint an emotion that the people of Tia Town wanted to experience it even if it came from being near the energy stores.

When reading an informational text, how do you identify the author’s thesis statement?

The Tiger in the Trap Once upon a time, there was a small village in the deep mountains. The people of this village were afraid of tigers that roamed in the surrounding mountains. One day, their fear and anxiety brought all the villagers together to discuss their problem and find some way of living peacefully without this constant fear. After much discussion, they came to an agreement: they decided to dig pits to trap tigers. Every able-bodied villager came out to dig deep pits around the village, and particularly, along both sides of the mountain pass leading to the village. One day, a traveler was passing through the area and heard strange groaning sounds nearby. He approached where the sounds came from and found a large tiger trapped in a pitfall and trying to jump out. Seeing the traveler, the tiger begged him for help: "Please, help me out of this trap, and I will never forget your kindness." Out of mercy, the traveler dragged a felled tree and lowered it into the pitfall. And the tiger climbed out. As soon as the tiger was out of the trap, he said to the traveler: "I am grateful for your help, but because humans made the trap to catch me, for that I will have to kill you." The traveler was utterly speechless and became frightened. Trying to be calm and mustering his courage, however, he said: "Wait a minute, Mr. Tiger. It is patently unfair and outrageous to kill me. Fairness demands that we should have a few impartial parties to judge who is right." The tiger agreed and both of them went to an ox. After listening to their story, the ox said: "Well, it is the fault of humans. We, oxen, too have a grudge against humans. They drive us hard for their own benefit and then they butcher us mercilessly. This is all very unfair!" Next, they went to a pine tree. The pine tree listened to their story and said: "Humans are wrong. They cut us down for lumber and for their firewood. What have we done to them to deserve that? They just have no heart!" Listening to the second opinion, the tiger was elated and ready to attack the traveler, when a hare was hopping toward them. "Phew. Just in time, Mr. Hare. Please, judge our case," and the traveler told the hare what had happened. The hare then said: "Fine, but before I make any judgment, I must see the original scene." So, the traveler, the tiger, and the hare all went to the pitfall where the tiger had been trapped. The hare said to the tiger: "I must see exactly how you were before this traveler rescued you. Where exactly were you?" Eager to show where he was, the tiger jumped right into the pitfall. The hare asked: "Was this felled tree in the pitfall when you fell into it, Mr. Tiger? " "No, it was not." So, the hare and the traveler took the tree out of the pitfall. The hare then said to the traveler: "Mr. Traveler, now, be on your way. " And the hare, too, hopped away. adapted from "The Unmannerly Tiger," a Korean fairytale 23 Select the correct answer. What is the best way to describe the theme of the story? A.

In Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel The Lost World, journalist Edward Malone travels with Professor George Challenger to South America to prove the existence of creatures that Challenger claims are dinosaurs. Read this excerpt from the story.

The first thing which I saw filled me with amazement . . . . I saw discs of light in every direction, ruddy, clearly-defined patches, like the port-holes of a liner in the darkness. For a moment I thought it was the lava-glow from some volcanic action; but this could not be so. Any volcanic action would surely be down in the hollow and not high among the rocks. What, then, was the alternative? It was wonderful, and yet it must surely be. These ruddy spots must be the reflection of fires within the caves . . . . There were human beings, then, upon the plateau. How gloriously my expedition was justified! Here was news indeed for us to bear back with us to London! . . .
