Reading Comprehension Section

You have 35 minutes for the reading comprehension section. This section has two passages, each
followed by multiple choice questions. You are advised to spend 17.5 minutes on each of the given
passages.
Read the passage carefully and then answer the multiple choice questions which follow.
Reading Passage I
Making a presentation puts you on public display. An audience not only listens to your ideas, it
also responds to the way you use your voice and your body. You need more than a well written
22
presentation to make an impact. You will also need to deliver it in a lively, flexible and
interesting way. In this leaflet, we suggest many ideas for invoking energy in your presentation
20
5 style.
ly
To begin with, imagine that you are in the audience for your presentation. What might grab your
ns
attention? Stimulate your imagination? Inspire your confidence? Develop your understanding?
On
Le r io
The more familiar you are with your material, the more you will be able to inspire your
audience’s trust and confidence. Do more than practise reading through your material to yourself.
ng
& fo at
10 If possible, stand up in a room and deliver your presentation to the walls. Get used to hearing
your own voice filling a room. Familiarise yourself with the words and phrases in your
ni
in
presentation. Play around with different volumes and see how well you can hear your own voice.
Above all, familiarise yourself with the main thrust of your argument and explore how the
individual elements of your presentation piece together. This will help you to keep to your chosen
ar
am
15 objectives and avoid distractions when it comes to your actual delivery.

Ex
It is important to appear confident at all times. Different postures create different moods. A very
formal, upright and still posture will create a very different atmosphere from a relaxed and active
one. Remember to match your physical behaviour to the objectives underpinning your
al
presentation. If you want to be either formal or informal, make deliberate choices about your
20 physical style and stick to these.
ng
nu
Eye contact is part of everyday communication and an audience can feel uncomfortable if they
hi
An
are denied it. Making eye contact with individuals gives them a sense of involvement in your
presentation and helps to convey your objectives on a personal level. Use gestures to welcome
ac
your audience, to add emphasis to your main points or to indicate an ending. Make sure that all
25 gestures are controlled and precise; too much movement will appear nervous and unfocussed.
Te
Try using language that involves your audience. For example, asking questions such as “What
can we learn from this?” or “How did we arrive at this conclusion?” involves your audience in an
exploratory process or discussion.
Your voice is a very flexible and powerful tool. Play around with the volume, pace and pitch of
30 your voice when practising your presentation. Find different ways of saying the same sentence.
Explore different ways of adding emphasis to your main points. Always try to convey enthusiasm
and energy through the use of your voice.
S2201-0111110
Page 7 of 12
Try to take a few deep breaths before you make your presentation; making a conscious effort to
slow your breathing down and taking in more air with each breath. During your presentation, use
35 pauses after questions or at the end of sections to allow comfortable breathing patterns.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the multiple choice questions which follow.
Reading Passage II
Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them. For instance, they may
remember to mention, a week after the event happened, that when they were in the woods, they
had met their dead father and had a game with him. It was in this casual way that Wendy one
morning made a disquieting revelation. Some leaves of a tree had been found on the nursery
5 floor, which certainly were not there when the children went to bed, and Mrs. Darling was
puzzling over them when Wendy said with a tolerant smile:
22
“I do believe it is that Peter again!”
20
“Whatever do you mean, Wendy?”
ly
ns
“It is so naughty of him not to wipe his feet,” Wendy said, sighing. She was a tidy child.
On
10 She explained in quite a matter-of-fact way that she thought Peter sometimes came to the nursery
Le r io
in the night and sat on the foot of her bed and played on his pipes to her. Unfortunately, she never
woke, so she didn’t know how she knew, she just knew.
ng
& fo at
“What nonsense you talk, precious. No one can get into the house without knocking.”
ni
in
“I think he comes in by the window,” she said.

ar
am
15 “My love, it is three floors up.”

Ex
“Were not the leaves at the foot of the window, mother?”
It was quite true; the leaves had been found very near the window.
al
Mrs. Darling did not know what to think, for it all seemed so natural to Wendy that you could not
ng
nu
dismiss it by saying she had been dreaming.

hi
An
20 “My child,” the mother cried, “why did you not tell me of this before?”
“I forgot,” said Wendy lightly. She was in a hurry to get her breakfast.
ac
Oh, surely she must have been dreaming.

Te
But, on the other hand, there were the leaves. Mrs. Darling examined them very carefully; they
were skeleton leaves, but she was sure they did not come from any tree that grew in England. She
25 crawled about the floor, peering at it with a candle for marks of a strange foot. She rattled the
poker up the chimney and tapped the walls. She let down a tape from the window to the
pavement, and it was a sheer drop of thirty feet, without so much as a spout to climb up by.
Certainly, Wendy had been dreaming.
But Wendy had not been dreaming, as the very next night showed, the night on which the
30 extraordinary adventures of these children may be said to have begun.
S2201-0111110
Page 9 of 12
On the night we speak of all the children were once more in bed. It happened to be Nana’s
evening off, and Mrs. Darling had bathed them and sung to them till one by one they had let go
her hand and slid away into the land of sleep.
All were looking so safe and cosy that she smiled at her fears now and sat down tranquilly by the
35 fire to sew.

Uncle Vernon drained his teacup, glanced at his watch, and added, “I’d better be off in a

Aunt Marge was Uncle Vernon’s sister. Even though she was not a blood relative of Harry’s
he had been forced to call her “Aunt” all his life. Aunt Marge lived in the country, in a house

At Dudley’s fifth birthday party, Aunt Marge had whacked Harry around the shins with her
10 walking stick to stop him from beating Dudley at musical statues. A few years later, she had
hi x K
turned up at Christmas with a computerised robot for Dudley and a box of dog biscuits for
ac l E A
Harry. On her last visit, the year before Harry started at Hogwarts, Harry had accidentally
trodden on the tail of her favourite dog. Ripper had chased Harry out into the garden and up a
tree, and Aunt Marge had refused to call him off until past midnight. The memory of this
15 incident still brought tears of laughter to Dudley’s eyes.
“Marge’ll be here for a week,” Uncle Vernon snarled, “and while we’re on the subject” – he
pointed a fat finger threateningly at Harry – “we need to get a few things straight before I go
and collect her.”…

“Firstly,” growled Uncle Vernon, “you’ll keep a civil tongue in your head when you’re talking

“Secondly,” said Uncle Vernon, “as Marge doesn’t know anything about your abnormality, I

don’t want any – any funny stuff while she’s here. You behave yourself, got me?”
“I will if she does,” said Harry through gritted teeth…
“And you’ll be sticking to that story, boy, or there’ll be trouble,” spat Uncle Vernon.

Reading Passage II
The martial arts, being systems and traditions of combat, are not exclusive to Asian countries in
their history. In fact, though Asian countries had a significant impact on martial arts, it was not
until much later from its origin that martial arts took hold and spread through Asian countries.
The first record related to martial arts is in Africa.
5 The earliest known instances and usage of martial arts comes from art, literature and artefacts.
on for
The oldest living artefact connected to martial arts is dated as far as
3400 BC, which was an ancient Egyptian painting that displays a struggle. This fresco showed
military training at Beni Hassan, an ancient Egyptian cemetery site. The type of martial arts
ng 3
practiced in this area was primarily wrestling and duelling with sticks. However, evidence has
ly
10 been found that the soldiers sparred with spears, shields, clubs, axes, poleaxes*, flails, bows,
ni 02
slings** and various swords.
an in EB
ar 2
Getting back on the general timeline, after the Egyptians were sparring with wrestling and a
variety of weapons, it can be seen that the ancient Babylonians were creating reliefs and literature
Le on
based on martial struggle around 3000 BC. Also, around the same time in Vietnam, drawings and
-
15 sketches were made around 2879 BC about fighting with spears, swords, sticks and bows.
ng am U
d ati
However, hardly any background detail is known about these pieces of art.
hi x K
The next significant artefact that points to the development of martial arts is from China. At
ac l E A
2698 BC, the Yellow Emperor was recorded to be a general who wrote a great deal about martial
arts before becoming the leader of China. As ChinaCulture.org states, “According to tradition, the
20 Yellow Emperor introduced the earliest forms of martial arts to China. He allegedly developed
the practice of jiao di or horn-butting and utilised it in war”.
In terms of epicness***, the Olympic Games of Greece are hard to find a comparison. The
Olympic Games began in 776 BC and early events included wrestling, boxing and
pankration****. There is much more detail and history that could be added to this account, but
Te ua
25 this is the most basic timeline of martial arts...

nn
*Poleaxes: a European pole arm that was widely used by medieval military
**Slings: a form of climbing equipment that consists of a tied or sewn loop of webbing
***Epicness: (urban dictionary) used commonly for explaining things of large proportions
A
****Pankration: It literary means ‘all force’ and is a combination of wrestling and boxing.

Q.1. (Total 17 Marks)
Read the passage carefully and answer all the questions that follow.
The martial arts, being systems and traditions of combat, are not exclusive to Asian countries in
their history. In fact, though Asian countries had a significant impact on martial arts, it was not
until much later from its origin that martial arts took hold and spread through Asian countries. The
first record related to martial arts is in Africa.
5 The earliest known instances and usage of martial arts comes from art, literature and artefacts. The
on for
oldest living artefact connected to martial arts is dated as far as
3400 BC, which was an ancient Egyptian painting that displays a struggle. This fresco showed
military training at Beni Hassan, an ancient Egyptian cemetery site. The type of martial arts
practiced in this area was primarily wrestling and duelling with sticks. However, evidence has
ng 3
ly
10 been found that the soldiers sparred with spears, shields, clubs, axes, poleaxes*, flails, bows,
ni 02
slings** and various swords.
an in EB
ar 2
Getting back on the general timeline, after the Egyptians were sparring with wrestling and a
variety of weapons, it can be seen that the ancient Babylonians were creating reliefs and literature
Le on
based on martial struggle around 3000 BC. Also, around the same time in Vietnam, drawings and
-
15 sketches were made around 2879 BC about fighting with spears, swords, sticks and bows.
ng am U
d ati
However, hardly any background detail is known about these pieces of art.
hi x K
The next significant artefact that points to the development of martial arts is from China. At
ac l E A
2698 BC, the Yellow Emperor was recorded to be a general who wrote a great deal about martial
arts before becoming the leader of China. As ChinaCulture.org states, “According to tradition, the
20 Yellow Emperor introduced the earliest forms of martial arts to China. He allegedly developed the
practice of jiao di or horn-butting and utilised it in war”.
In terms of epicness***, the Olympic Games of Greece are hard to find a comparison. The
Olympic Games began in 776 BC and early events included wrestling, boxing and
pankration****. There is much more detail and history that could be added to this account, but
Te ua
25 this is the most basic timeline of martial arts...

nn
*Poleaxes: a European pole arm that was widely used by medieval military
**Slings: a form of climbing equipment that consists of a tied or sewn loop of webbing
***Epicness: (urban dictionary) used commonly for explaining things of large proportions
A
****Pankration: It literary means ‘all force’ and is a combination of wrestling and boxing.
