Read this excerpt from "Close Encounters of the Bear Kind" by Susan E. Quinlan.


John is a biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. His study area is the Tanana Valley, a boggy lowland in central Alaska. It's prime black bear habitat, but most of the ground is too wet for dens. Unfortunately, the only dry areas that seem good for dens also happen to be used by the U.S. Army for winter training. So to protect both bears and soldiers, the army hired John to find out where most bears in the area hibernate.


John spent last summer fitting bears with radio collars like the one that is now leading him to a den. The collar has a transmitter that sends out a beep John can track to its source. It also has an activity sensor that speeds up the beeps when the bear moves.


Which answer best summarizes this text?


The U.S. Army wants to locate bears that have dens on their training grounds. It hired John, a biologist in Alaska, to find out where the bears hibernate.

The U.S. Army doesn’t want its soldiers in training to have conflict with hibernating bears. It was decided that a biologist would be able to find the hibernating bears and their dens.

The U.S. Army conducts winter training activities in Tanana Valley, Alaska in an area that is a favorite hibernation spot for black bears. The army hired John, a biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, to find out where most of the bears hibernate so they could be avoided. John uses radio collars to track and locate the bears.

The U.S. Army conducts winter training activities in Tanana Valley, Alaska. Many bears hibernate in that area. The bears that hibernate there are black bears. The bears hibernate there because the ground is dry. The army hired John, a biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, to find out where most of the bears hibernate so the bears could be avoided.

Answer:

The U.S. Army wants to locate bears that have dens on their training grounds. It hired John, a biologist in Alaska, to find out where the bears hibernate.

Explanation:

A summary is a shortened version of a piece of writing, such as a paragraph, excerpt, chapter, or an entire book. It should include the main ideas of the text and only the most important details.

The option that fulfills these criteria is the first one. It summarizes what the text is about - about how the U.S. Army wants to locate bears that have dens on their training ground and how it hired a biologist named John to find them. The main point is covered and there are no unnecessary details.

The second option is the second best. However, it doesn't include some important details - the location and the name of the biologist.

The third and fourth options are incorrect because they include too much detail.

Answer:

The U.S. Army conducts winter training activities in Tanana Valley, Alaska in an area that is a favorite hibernation spot for black bears. The army hired John, a biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, to find out where most of the bears hibernate so they could be avoided. John uses radio collars to track and locate the bears.

Read this excerpt from "Why Are They Called Black Holes?"

Scientists cannot see gravity, but they can see its effects. The gravity of a black hole will swallow matter and light that drift close enough to it. Some light passing by a black hole can be far enough away that it could avoid being sucked in, but the path of the light would still be bent by gravity.

Astronomers can observe these effects. For example, when a black hole passes through a cloud of dust, it pulls the dust inside it like a big gravity-powered vacuum cleaner. When a star passes too close to a black hole, the black hole pulls it in and breaks up the star, spewing giant flashes of high energy called gamma-ray bursts. And when scientists see light bending even though there is no visible matter nearby, they have evidence that there is an invisible black hole.

What must be present for scientists to detect black holes?

a cloud of dust
a gamma ray burst
the loss of a star
the force of gravity

2. In the beginning of the selection from Life of Pi, why does the narrator want to fish?

Which of the following words best describes James?


Money Problems


James was always throwing money around. He wanted to make sure everybody knew how much he had and what he chose to spend it on.

On this particular day, he was buying a new wallet. Before he left work, he looked out the window and saw that it was raining, which was bad news for his leather shoes, which, as he made sure everybody knew, were Paul Smith. However, it was good news for him, because it meant that he could wear his new raincoat, which, as he made sure everybody knew, was Burberry.

As he exited his office building and made his way to the Louis Vuitton store, James watched the people he passed. The look on each face answered a question he had asked himself. Were his pants too short? Were his sleeves too long? Should he have worn darker socks? He was sure that he looked terrible and that the people in the store would judge him.

Upon arriving at the store, he headed directly for the checkerboard-patterned wallet that he had been looking at online. He looked at the salesperson and said, “I would like the Damier wallet.” He had no idea that Damier was French for “checkerboard pattern,” but he did not let the salesperson know that.

James did not react when the salesperson told him that the total for the wallet was $497.56. Rather, he swiped his debit card. The store was silent until the salesperson spoke up, saying, “Sir, your debit card has been declined. Do you have another form of payment?” James, stalling, muttered for a few seconds, “I, uh . . . well, um . . . let me see what I, um . . . have.” He needed time to think. He could easily reach into his wallet and get his credit card, but after getting a notice that informed him that he was four months behind on his payment, he swore to himself that he would only use it for emergencies.

The next thing he heard was the salesperson saying, “Here’s your credit card and your receipt.” James had swiped his credit card without even realizing it.

As he walked out of the store with his new wallet, he felt the great feeling that always came after he made a big purchase. The feeling continued throughout his bus ride home.

Upon arriving at his apartment, he saw an envelope taped to his door. He pulled it off the door and headed inside. His one-room efficiency apartment was filled from floor to ceiling with UPS boxes, shopping bags, and unworn clothes. He sat on his bed, which also served as a couch and a kitchen table, and opened up the box that held his new wallet. He placed the wallet on his lap and stared at it as he opened up the envelope he found on his door. He read the piece of paper that was inside the envelope. It was an eviction notice. He could not remember the last time he paid his rent. As the great feeling he had been surfing on turned into shame, James opened his laptop, got on the Internet, and began looking for a cashmere sweater.
