Question 1 of 20
1. Question
Extract A: from A Very Special Superpower by Pedro Pablo Sacristan
The neighbouring galaxy needed the very best to help fight the dastardly bad guys. But they couldn’t decide whom to send. “We have to be able to see the bad guys through walls if we want to finish them off. That way we can catch them when they least expect it” said the kids with X-ray vision.
“Don’t listen to them. The only way they won’t escape is if we can go faster than them” responded the super-speed kids.
“They always fly away. If you can’t fly you can’t be the best superkid” said the kids who could fly.
“None of this works without our power”, responded the kids with super strength. The arguing carried on for a while until the super-smart kid arrived with another, rather ordinary kid, who was small, skinny, and didn’t even have a special suit.
“This superkid will solve our problem”, he said confidently.
“Really?” Nobody could believe it. “What powers does he have? Is he strong? Quick? Does he have secret weapons? How is he going to fight the bad guys?” they asked, getting annoyed and feeling inferior.
“Well I don’t know what he’s got”, responded the super-smart kid. “But it works.” Everyone harshly complained, thinking it was a joke, and they all started to shout over each other.
When the kid arrived at the other galaxy, they were very surprised: nobody had ever seen a Superkid without any powers!
The leaders decided to investigate. They called the prisons and were told they were almost empty. The police explained that there had been almost no crimes, and nobody had been arrested. There were so few baddies left that the League of Incorrigible Villains kidnapped the youngster. “I don’t have any superpowers,” said the kid. “I’m just trying to make people feel better – I help out when I can, I share my things, I’m quick to forgive, I always smile.”
Extract B: from The Sweet Witch by Pedro Pablo Sacristan
One day the little witch heard that the lousy, old witches were planning to cast a spell on a big mountain and turn it into a volcano, which would destroy a small town. The little witch thought about how she could prevent this, but she didn’t really know how to. When she went to speak to the townsfolk to warn them, they threw her out and pelted her with stones, shouting “Get away from here, witch!”
The little witch ran off, and sat crying at the side of the road. Soon a few children came by and, seeing her crying, tried to console her. She told them that she was a good witch, but she didn’t know how to put her goodness into practice, and that everyone treated her badly. The children told her that being good was very easy. All you had to do was help others, do good deeds for them.
“And what can I do for you guys?” asked the witch.
“You could give us some sweets!” they told her, happily. The witch was very embarrassed; she had no sweets on her, and she knew no spell for making them.
Feeling somewhat encouraged with the trust the kids gave her, the little witch set off for her cave ready to help everyone. However, on her way, she came across the old witches casting their spell on the mountain. The mountain had already turned into a volcano and was beginning to spit fire. The little witch wanted to prevent this from happening, but she didn’t know how. Then a whole load of magic words came into her head. She said them and, before she knew it, the fire on the mountain had turned into a stream of sweets. The mountain launched thousands of sweets into the air and they fell onto the town below.

9. Question
Sick by Shel Silverstein
“I cannot go to school today,”
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, 5
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more–that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green? 10
My leg is cut–my eyes are blue–
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke–
My hip hurts when I move my chin, 15
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb. 20
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight, 25
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is–what?
What’s that? What’s that you say? 30
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!”
What theme does the poem tackle?
A. A child’s sickness.
B. A child’s determination to stay home.
C. A child’s desperation to skip school.
D. A child’s desire to play outside.

Question 10 of 20
10. Question
Sick by Shel Silverstein
“I cannot go to school today,”
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, 5
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more–that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green? 10
My leg is cut–my eyes are blue–
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke–
My hip hurts when I move my chin, 15
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb. 20
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight, 25
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is–what?
What’s that? What’s that you say? 30
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!”
What is the rhyme scheme used in the poem?
A. AABBCCDD …
B. ABABCDCD …
C. BABADCDC …
D. ABBACDDC …

Question 15 of 20
15. Question
Topic: Musical Instruments
A. A flute can be described as a woodwind instrument, generally of a tubular shape, that is played by blowing across a specially-shaped opening (known as the embouchure) in such a way as to produce a vibrating column of air whose pulsations we hear as sound. This manner of generating sound by blowing directly across the embouchure distinguishes the flute from other woodwind instruments that produce sound through the use of one or two reeds. The embouchure may be situated either at the end of the tube, as in a recorder, or on the side of the tube, as in the modern flute. A flute whose embouchure is on the side of the tube often is referred to as a “transverse” flute because the player directs the airstream across the side of the tube. C. The drum is a member of the percussion group of musical instruments. Drums consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and struck, either directly with the player’s hands, or with a percussion mallet, to produce sound. There is usually a resonant head on the underside of the drum. Other techniques have been used to cause drums to make sound, such as the thumb roll. Drums are the world’s oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years. Drums may be played individually, with the player using a single drum, and some drums such as the djembe are almost always played in this way. B. A cymbal is a common percussion instrument. Often used in pairs, cymbals consist of thin, normally round plates of various alloys. The majority of cymbals are of indefinite pitch, although small disc-shaped cymbals based on ancient designs sound a definite note (such as crotales). Cymbals are used in many ensembles ranging from the orchestra, percussion ensembles, jazz bands, heavy metal bands, and marching groups. A player of cymbals is known as a cymbalist. D. The piano is a stringed keyboard instrument in which the strings are struck by wooden hammers that are coated with a softer material (modern hammers are covered with dense wool felt; some early pianos used leather). It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. Which extract mentions an instrument with an indeterminate note?
