 Third term exam

PART ONE: READING (15 points)

Read the following text carefully and do the activities.

The Time Machine is a science fiction story by H.G. Wells, a famous English
writer. It was first published in 1895. It's about a man who invents a time machine
that he uses to travel to the year 802 701.

In that year, the world is controlled by beings that live underground called
the Morlocks. The Morlocks control a humanlike group of beings that live on the
surface of Earth. They are called the Eloi. The Morlocks treat the Eloi very badly.
They butcher and cook the Eloi as a source of food. They are strict and the Eloi are
terrified of them.

The Time Traveler spends most of his time on Earth's surface with the
friendly Eloi. He ends up saving the life of an Eloi named Weena. Weena becomes
dedicated to the Time Traveler and accompanies him in his exploration of the world
as it existed in 802 701.
 The Time Traveler becomes an enemy of the Morlocks. This causes them to
attack the Time Traveler, who uses the fire from matches to win over them.
Unfortunately, the matches start a forest fire that injured the Morlocks and also kills
his good friend Weena. The angry Morlocks try to capture him, but he frees himself
and his time machine (which had been captured by the Morlocks). He uses it to
escape from the year 802 701. Before the Time Traveler returns to his time, he
sees glimpses of the future. He sees the end of the world starting to take form.

Then, the Time Traveler returns to his own time. He tells his friends what
had happened to him. They, unfortunately, do not believe him.

I think that the main idea that the author tried to express is that
mistreatment of others now will lead to a sad future. H.G. Wells used the example
of the friends not believing the Time Traveler as an example of mistreatment in the
present. I think people should pay more attention to this concept because this
might be true some day.

A. Comprehension and interpretation. (08 points)

1. Circle the letter that corresponds to the right answer. The Time Machine is:

a) a magazine b) a newspaper d) a novel

3. Are these statements true or false? Write T or F next to the letter

corresponding to the statement.

a) The time traveller travels to the past.

b) The Eloi beings live under the surface of the Earth.

c) The Morlocks were very bad in treating the Eloi.

d) The time traveller was a friend of the Morlocks.

4- Answer the following questions according to the text.

a) Who is the controlling the world in 802 701?

b) Who is the writer of The Time Machine?

c) What lesson does H.G.Wells want to teach us in The Time Machine?

B. Text exploration. (07 points)

1. Find in the text words that are synonyms to the following:

a) wounds = (4) b) imprisoned= (4)

c) If the Islamic civilization hadn't taken place, the world (know) mathematical

It's 1said that Science Fiction is the literature of change. When a culture is
undergoing a lot of changes due to scientific advances and technological 2, and
expects to undergo more, it's hardly surprising if stories about these changes 3
