What is the central idea of this passage?
Only a small fraction of the information flowing around
the world is securely encrypted, and the remainder is
poorly encrypted, or not encrypted at all. This is because
the number of Internet users is rapidly increasing, and
yet few of these people take adequate precautions in
terms of privacy. In turn, this means that national
security organizations, law enforcers and anybody else
with a curious mind can get their hands on more
information than they can cope with.
- The Code Book,
Simon Singh
O More people use the Internet today than ten years

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

Within a circular boundary of about fifty miles from the black hole center, gravity is so strong that massless light cannot escape its pull. This boundary is called the "theoretical event horizon." Imagine observing a black hole from galaxies away. Light can be seen around the event horizon but not within it. The universe is filled with dim light drifting all around, but absolutely no light can be seen inside a circular event horizon. Therefore, the area inside is called a "black hole."

Based on this excerpt, which conclusion is most likely true about black holes?

Even though there is light inside a black hole, it is not visible.
Even though a black hole has gravity, there is nothing inside a black hole.
A black hole can only be observed or detected at a short distance.
A black hole only releases light that appears black to the eyes.

Sonic Boom



I'm sitting in the living room

When, up above, the Thump of Doom

Resounds. Relax. It's sonic boom.



The ceiling shudders at the clap,

The mirrors tilt, the rafters snap,

And Baby wakens from his nap.



"Hush, babe. Some pilot we equip,

Giving the speed of sound the slip,

Has cracked the air like a penny whip."



Our world is far from frightening; I

no longer strain to read the sky

Where moving fingers (jet planes) fly.

Our world seems much too tame to die.



And if it does, with one more pop,

I shan't look up to see it drop.

by John Updike

The 1920s is marked as a period of new inventions. The electric refrigerator was created replacing the icebox which, as its name implies, used blocks of daily shipped ice to keep food cool. Emerging companies transported frozen food across the nation in refrigerated railway trains that utilized a newly developed coolant called sulfur dioxide. Purchasing already prepared frozen food was a widely adopted practice because it shaved hours off of food preparation times. Art exploded as well during the 1920s. A new form of improvised music known as jazz replaced ragtime music that had been popular from the late 1800s until the 1910s. Rather than the common household practice of purchasing piano sheet music and singing along to the melody, Americans enjoyed listening to records from jazz artists such as Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, and Dizzy Gillespie. The 1920s was also the period of alcohol prohibition. Decades of public outcry about the effects of overconsumption of liquor led to strict laws that prohibited its sale during the 1920s. Bootleggers illegally manufactured liquor and sold it to citizens with one of the most famous of them being Al Capone. Alcohol prohibition laws were repealed in 1933.

What reason best explains why frozen foods became popular?

a. They are convenient. ​

b. They are less expensive. ​

c. They are easier to obtain than fresh food.

Read the passage, then answer the question.

The argument is, that different natures have different uses, and the natures of men and women are said to differ. . . . We do not consider that the difference may be purely nominal and accidental; for example, a bald man and a hairy man are opposed in a single point of view, but you cannot infer that because a bald man is a cobbler a hairy man ought not to be a cobbler.

–The Republic,
Plato

What does Plato mean by "the natures of men and women are said to differ”?

Men and women have different points of view.
Men and women make different types of inferences.
Men and women have different thoughts and ideas.
Men and women have different looks and physical abilities.
