 Section A: Comprehension test

Read the following text carefully and then answer the questions that follow:

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

Roald Dahl
Passage 1
1. Mr. Wonka was standing all alone just inside the open gates of the factory. What an
extraordinary little man he was. He had a black top hat on his head. He wore a tailcoat
made of beautiful plum- coloured velvet. His trousers were bottle green. His gloves
were pearly grey. He carried a fine, gold-topped walking cane. A small, black beard
covered his chin. His eyes were most marvelously bright. They seemed to be sparkling
and twinkling at you all the time. The whole face, in fact, was alight with laughter.

2. And how clever he looked! How quick, sharp and full of life! He kept making quick, jerky
little movements with his head, cocking it this way and that. He was taking in everything
with those bright, twinkling eyes. He was like a squirrel in the quickness of his
movements, like a quick, clever old squirrel from the park.

Passage 2 (Inside the factory)

3. “There!” cried Mr. Wonka, dancing up and down and pointing his gold-topped cane at
the great brown river. “It’s all chocolate! Every drop of that river is hot, melted
chocolate.

4. Charlie put the mug to his lips and as the warm, creamy chocolate ran down his throat
into his empty tummy, his whole body began to tingle with pleasure and a feeling of
happiness spread over him.

5. “You like it?” asked Mr. Wonka.

“Oh, it’s wonderful!” Charlie said.
“The creamiest, loveliest chocolate I’ve ever tasted!” said Grandpa Joe, smacking his
lips.
