TEST 1
READING AND
USE OF ENGLISH
Guidance: Parts 1-4
The Read
ing
and Use of English paper lasts
for one
hour
fifteen
minutes.
It
conta
ins
seven
parts,
and
ha
s a
total
of
fifty-two
questions.
There are
texts
of
varying
lengths,
w
ith
a
range
of
text types
and styles of writin
g,
for
exa
mpl
e extra
cts
from
newspapers,
magazines,
websites and
novels.
Part
3
In
Part 3, you
read
a short text and comp
lete
a word-formation
task.
Eight
words
have been removed from the
text. You are
given
the
base
form
of each missing word and you
have to
put
that
word into the correct form
to fit the
gap.
Part 1
In
Part
1,
you
read
a short text
and
complete
a
mu
lt iple-choice
cloze task. Eight
word
s or
phrases have been
removed from the
text. For
each gap,
you
have
to
choose
from
four
options
the
word or phrase
w
hich fits best.
Part
4
In Part 4, you read six pa
irs
of
sentences and comp
lete
a
key-word transformation
task.
The pairs
of sentences
have the
same
meaning, but are
expressed
in different
ways. Two
to
five
words
have
been
removed from the
second sentence, and one
of these words,
the key
word, is given as a prompt. You
have
to
complete
the
second sentence,
using the
key word
.
Part
2
In
Part
2,
you read
a
short
text and complete an
open cloze
task. Eight
w
ord
s
have been
removed from the
text.
You have to
complete th
e
ga
ps.
Part
1
• Rea d the text, ignoring
the
gaps,
to get
a general
understanding.
• Only
one of the options (A- D) f
its
the gap.
• Check the words
before
and after
the gap,
e.g. some words
can only
be followed
by one particular
preposition.
• Some
questions
focus on
linking
words and so test your
understanding of
the
whole passage.
•
If
you
are not
sure which word
to
choose,
decide
which
options are
clearly
wrong,
and then
see wh
ich
are
left. If
you're still
not
sure, you should guess. You
do not lose marks
for
wrong answers, and your guess
may
be
right.
• When you have
finished, read
your completed
text
again and
check
that it makes
sense.
Part
3
•
Read the text,
ignoring
the
gaps, to get a general
understanding.
•
Decide
wh
ich
type of
word
is needed
in
each
gap,
e.g
.
noun,
adjective,
adverb
.
Look
at the whole sentence,
not just
at
the
line including the gap.
•
Look
at
the
word in capitals
to the right
of the gap. You may
need to
add a
prefix
or suffix, or
make
other changes. More
than
one change
may be
required.
•
Check
to see
if nouns
should
be
singular or
plural
.
• When you
have finished, read
your completed text again
and
check that
it
makes sense.
Part
4
•
Look
at
the
key word. What type
of
word is
it?
What
usually
follows it,
e.g. an
infinitive,
a
preposition,
or could
it be
part
of a phrasal
verb?
•
Think about
the other words that
need
to change in the
new
word order, e.g
.
an adjective
may
become a
noun
or
vice versa
.
• Your
answer may include
words
or
expressions
not used
in
the first
sentence,
but these must
express
exactly the
same
idea. Do not include new information
or change
the information.
•
Remember
that contracted words count as
two
words,
e.g.
won't
=
will
not.
Part
2
•
Read the text, ignoring the gaps, to get a general understanding.
•
Think
about the
missing
words
.
Each gap
only
needs
one
word, usually a grammatical word, e.g. pronoun,
linker,
preposition, etc. The gaps will
not
test your
knowledge
of
topic
vocabulary.
• Carefu
lly
read the text around
each
gap and think
about what
type of
word
is missing,
e.g.
preposition,
pronoun, part of a
fixed
expression, etc.
• When you have finished,
read
your
completed
text again and
check
that it
makes
sense
.
