Part II: Banked Cloze
Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.
When I was a child, my best friend Joseph and I would play a game called
Sometimes I would play the spy and Joseph would play the (31)
villain
, and sometimes
we would reverse the roles. Make- believe games like this were my favourite, and I remember that
many summer days were (32)

spent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.
Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say,
some of the stories got quite (33)

. Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like a science
fiction movie; the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien. Sometimes, we would
wear old Halloween masks so the (34)
resemblance
to an alien was remarkable!
I remember one day in particular. Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a

, empty planet (my backyard). He threw me in
with mischievous delight. At first, I felt all alone and

of laser fire, I ran past my captor and escaped the alien prison! I was free! Super Secret Spy had won
again!
Just then, Joseph and I both realized that it was late afternoon, the sun was setting, and
(40)
twilight
was upon us. We were both hungry, so we were incredibly happy when my
mother called us inside for dinner. Even Super Secret Spies and aliens need to eat!

Part III: Reading Comprehension
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
When we're young, we can't wait to grow up and get on with life. When we're adults, we long for the
carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of
life. Indeed,
they can't have. It's our nature.
That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults
seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them,
up?

that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is
coming to them.
Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination,
create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an
undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate
the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as
it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be
able to function as adults in the modern world.
Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like
children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder,
practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly
learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the
environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons
instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make- believe stimulates the
imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the
mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.
It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole
purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and
young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?
Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?

A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.

B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.

C. Children should be free to play the day away.

D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.
Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?

A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.

B. It is important for children to play and act young.

C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.

D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.


A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are in

B. people always lack confidence in themselves

C. people prefer to live in a less barren land

D. people always want their children to grow up fast

B. a dramatic dialogue
