Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Nora stayed late in the art room one evening to finish a project. Most of the school was already empty and quiet, and the hallway lights were dim - the room itself was lit mainly by a streetlamp outside the window. As she worked, she kept glancing up at an old portrait on the wall, a serious-looking woman painted decades ago.

At first, she barely noticed it. But every time she looked away and back, the woman's expression seemed slightly different, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning. Nora's hands started to shake. "This isn't possible," she whispered, staring at the painting. She grabbed her bag, ready to run, but stopped when she noticed a tall tree branch swaying between the streetlamp and the window.

Each time the branch moved, its shadow shifted across the portrait, changing the shape of the woman's painted mouth. Nora let out a nervous laugh. "It was just a shadow," she said, feeling silly. She packed up quickly, smiled at the portrait one last time, and turned off the lights before heading home.

What can we understand about Nora's feelings at first?

  • She felt bored with her school art project.

  • She felt silly for staying at school late.

  • She was extremely afraid of the old painting.

  • She was interested in the paintings.

Which of the following is NOT suggested by the story?

  • Nora laughed nervously when she discovered the truth.

  • The room was dim enough for outdoor light to matter.

  • The portrait had a strange power over people.

  • Nora felt embarrassed once she figured out the cause.

What would be the best title for this story?

  • How to Paint a Realistic Portrait

  • A Girl Who Is Afraid of the Dark

  • The History of an Old School Painting

  • A Shadow That Looked Like a Moving Face

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Islands and Villages Without Cars

Can you imagine a place with no cars? On the small island of Sark, in the English Channel, cars are completely banned. There are only about 500 people living there, and no one owns a private car. Instead of driving, people walk, ride bicycles, or take horse-drawn carriages. Even the ambulance is pulled by a tractor!

Sark is only about 5 kilometres long, so it is easy to explore in a day. Bicycles are a popular way to get around the island. Visitors can rent bikes when they arrive by ferry. Many people say it feels like travelling back in time.

Far away in the Netherlands, there is another place without cars: the village of Giethoorn. It is called the "Venice of the Netherlands" because it has 176 wooden bridges and many canals. Here, people travel by boat. They use small boats to visit friends, go to work, and buy food. Cars must stay outside the village centre.

In Sark and Giethoorn, life is quiet and slow. These places show us that cars are not the only way to live.

How is the ambulance transported on the island of Sark?

  • It is driven by the local villagers.
  • It is pulled by a horse-drawn carriage.
  • It is pulled by a farm tractor.
  • It is transported by a small ferry.

What happens to cars in Giethoorn?

  • They are completely banned from the entire region.
  • They are only allowed during certain months of the year.
  • They are used only by emergency services.
  • They are kept outside the main part of the village.
Which of the following is NOT true, based on the passage?
  • Visitors to Sark can rent bicycles after arriving by ferry.
  • Giethoorn has canals as well as wooden bridges.
  • Sark has a population of over five thousand people.
  • People in Sark sometimes travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Why is Giethoorn called the "Venice of the Netherlands"?

  • Because it has many wooden bridges and canals.
  • Because it was built by Italian settlers.
  • Because it has the same population as Venice.
  • Because tourists mainly travel there by gondola.
Why does the passage end by saying “cars are not the only way to live”?
  • To argue that cars should be banned in all cities.
  • To explain why the author prefers boats to cars.
  • To show that the people of Sark and Giethoorn are not normal.
  • To suggest that a car-free lifestyle could work in other places.
