Question 15
The following story leads into the next four questions. It will be
repeated at the start of each of the questions it relates to. Read it
carefully and answer questions 15 through to 18 in relation to this
story.
I fought to maintain my composure as the Bollandulus dangled in front of my

face shield. I'd faced other creatures before - crabs, bees, snakes and
centipedes - but this was different. I was helping Bob with his experiment and
was beginning to regret volunteering. Bob is my neighbour and he is an avid
scientist who loves spiders and keeps over fifty different varieties of them. I
had volunteered to help him in order to overcome my fear of spiders.
Spiders had always sent shivers up my spine and I tried to have as little to do
with them as possible. However, as I watched Bob work with the spiders, I
learned they were not as monstrous as I had initially thought.
Under Bob's guidance, and with a very long pair of gloves, I was able to
overcome my fear and handle the spiders. I found out that if you remain calm
and don't make sudden movements, then spiders will quietly go about their
business. I also observed a variety of different spiders building their webs and
was intrigued with how neat and perfectly symmetrical they were. The silken
threads of the spiders' webs were tough too - they carried dozens of sticks
and leaves, without even stretching.
Bob kept his spiders in an enclosure full of bark, branches, leaves and twigs,
in order to mimic their natural habitat. "They live longer if you can keep
conditions as close as possible to their natural way of life", he explained. I
also found out they were more likely to lay eggs in this environment,
although I was a little shocked to find that the females of one species of
spider ate the male of the same species!
At the end of term, Bob won the school science prize for collecting,
photographing and identifying the characteristics of over one hundred species
of spider. I think after spending that day with him I realised the enormity of
what he had done. He won the prize ahead of some of the older students who
had done various presentations including the evolution of man, the extinction
of dinosaurs and a funny wind-propelled car. I felt proud to know him.
Ironically, on returning his spiders to their enclosure after school that night,
Bob was bitten by one of them. His arm swelled up and he said he began to
feel sick. Fortunately he identified the perpetrator quickly, and knowing its
bite was poisonous, he quickly asked his mother to take him to the hospital.
43
His arm was tightly bandaged by the doctor and he was given an injection to
stop the poison from causing tissue damage. As a precaution, Bob was
encouraged to stay overnight at hospital, which he did. After two days, Bob
was able to return to school. One of the old science teachers said to Bob, "If
you play with fire it is likely you will get burned", to which Bob replied, "Ah
yes, but if you know a lot about fire, then you are unlikely to get burned very
badly!"
What is the main purpose of this story?
Options
A Spiders can be dangerous.
B To convince the reader to collect spiders.
C To inform the reader of many interesting facts about spiders.
D To entertain the reader with a funny story about spiders.
E To convince people that spiders make excellent pets.
44
Question 16
The following story leads into the next three questions. You will have
read this already in preparing your answer to Question 15.

45
badly!"
In this story, what is a Bollandulus?
Options
A a strange and different creature
B a bee
C a centipede
D a snake
E none of these
46
Question 17

already read this to answer Questions 15 and 16.

47
badly!"
The narrator of this story:
Options
A was scared of spiders.
B likes bees.
C is a science student.
D loved spiders once Bob helped him overcome his fear of them.
E none of these
48
Question 18
Read the passage below and answer the question. You will have
already read this passage in order to answer the previous 3
questions.

49
badly!"
In the last sentence, Bob's reply to the science teacher implies:
Options
A He doesn't think spiders are like fire.
B He agrees with the teacher, that if you play with something dangerous,
there are lethal risks.
C Bob's confidence in his own knowledge about spiders is so great, he
believes can give the teacher advice.
D He acknowledges spiders can be dangerous, but if you are well-informed
you can manage the risks.
E If you have matches, fires won't burn you as severely.
Question 19
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
What does this figure of speech suggest?
Options
A Don’t be hasty in evaluating your assets.
B Not all eggs will hatch.
C In a clutch of eggs some will be roosters, not chickens.
D You should always calculate your wealth as early as possible.
E Speculating about the amount of wealth you gather is useful for forward
planning.
50

Options
A cross
B furious
