Read the passage below carefully and then answer questions. Circle the letter of the
correct answer from questions 1-5.
The Rooster and the Dragon
I am sure you have all heard the birds singing in the early morning before the sun
rises. Almost all of these songs are sweet and tuneful. But one bird, the rooster, makes
a loud and harsh sound. The ear-splitting noise sounds as if the rooster is angry. He is
very angry, because he was cheated by the dragon. Long, long ago, roosters also
sang beautiful songs. They were happy birds because they had magnificent feathers of
many rich colours and fine horns. These horns were on the sides of their heads.
One day a dragon flew over a farmyard and saw a beautiful rooster. He was very
jealous of the rooster’s horns. He thought that he needed a pair of good horns to make
him handsome.
“Lend me your horns,” said the dragon. “I am off to pay my respects to the dragon
gods, and I must look my best. Horns are just what I need.”
“How will I know you will bring back my horns?” asked the rooster. “You can trust me,”
said the dragon. “I’ll show you my witness.” “Yes, you can trust him”, said a little worm
that was standing nearby.
And so the dragon took the rooster’s horns. He never came back. Never! The rooster
was furious. The next morning he got up early. He poked about in the yard until he
found the worm and swallowed him whole. Then he started shouting, “Cock-a-doodle-
doo, I’m coming to get you!”
It was hopeless. The rooster has not given up yet, and you can still hear that loud,
harsh shout of his: “Cock-a-doodle-doo, I’m coming to get you!”
[Adapted from Oxford Successful English Grade 5 by Richard Blythe]

Read the poem below carefully and then answer questions 9–12.
The cupboard was closed, and the children had gone,
There were only the stars in the sky looking on.
When up jumped the toys and peeped out at the sky,
For they were always awake – when there’s nobody by.
The children were far away saying their prayers,
So the toys lightly stole down the shadowy stairs,
And each said to the other, “We’ll be off, you and I,”
For the toys – they can speak, when there’s nobody by.
So off to the city they went, two and two,
To see if, perchance, any good they could do,
To cheer the poor children whose lives are so sad,
For the toys always try to make everyone glad.
[Adapted by Fred E Weatherly]

  • 3. SECTION A: COMPREHENSION Read the passage below carefully and then answer questions. Circle the letter of the correct answer from questions 1-5. The Rooster and the Dragon I am sure you have all heard the birds singing in the early morning before the sun rises. Almost all of these songs are sweet and tuneful. But one bird, the rooster, makes a loud and harsh sound. The ear-splitting noise sounds as if the rooster is angry. He is very angry, because he was cheated by the dragon. Long, long ago, roosters also sang beautiful songs. They were happy birds because they had magnificent feathers of many rich colours and fine horns. These horns were on the sides of their heads. One day a dragon flew over a farmyard and saw a beautiful rooster. He was very jealous of the rooster’s horns. He thought that he needed a pair of good horns to make him handsome. “Lend me your horns,” said the dragon. “I am off to pay my respects to the dragon gods, and I must look my best. Horns are just what I need.” “How will I know you will bring back my horns?” asked the rooster. “You can trust me,” said the dragon. “I’ll show you my witness.” “Yes, you can trust him”, said a little worm that was standing nearby. And so the dragon took the rooster’s horns. He never came back. Never! The rooster was furious. The next morning he got up early. He poked about in the yard until he found the worm and swallowed him whole. Then he started shouting, “Cock-a-doodle- doo, I’m coming to get you!” It was hopeless. The rooster has not given up yet, and you can still hear that loud, harsh shout of his: “Cock-a-doodle-doo, I’m coming to get you!” [Adapted from Oxford Successful English Grade 5 by Richard Blythe] 2

The cupboard was closed, and the children had gone, There were only the stars in the sky looking on. When up jumped the toys and peeped out at the sky, For they were always awake – when there’s nobody by. The children were far away saying their prayers, So the toys lightly stole down the shadowy stairs, And each said to the other, “We’ll be off, you and I,” For the toys – they can speak, when there’s nobody by. So off to the city they went, two and two, To see if, perchance, any good they could do, To cheer the poor children whose lives are so sad, For the toys always try to make everyone glad. [Adapted by Fred E Weatherly]
