Part 4.1 Read a text about a path across Canada.
For questions 24 – 30, write A, B or C on your answer sheet. lOMoAR cPSD| 45349271 A PATH ACROSS CANADA
Thirteen-year-old Kara Finch writes about The Great Trail – a footpath that goes across Canada
The Great Trail goes from one side of Canada to the other. At 24,000 km, it is the longest trail
in the world. The Great Trail project began in 1992 and took 25 years to complete. It opened in
2017, exactly 150 years after Canada became one country.
The Great Trail is actually lots of paths joined together. You can cycle, walk or horse-ride on
most of it, but there are parts where the only way you can travel is by boat. And there are others
where the trail is part of the highway, which doesn’t sound very safe to me. My father and I
spent a day walking along part of the Great Trail that was surprisingly busy. We were told you
don’t usually see bears when there are lots of people, but we did. It was moving through the
trees, quite close to us, and I felt a little afraid. “I don’t think it’s hungry!” laughed my dad.
At lunchtime, we talked to an old man on the trail. Dad asked him if he thought the path was
going to help Canadians learn more about their countryside. “Not really,” he said. “We’ve
always loved to be outdoors. But it will bring us tourists from around the world, which is important.”
In the future, the path will probably change, and new parts may open. We saw nothing to tell us
we were on the Great Trail, which is a shame. I know there’s information on the website, but
it’s good to know when you’re walking on a special path. They need to add some signs, I think.
24. In what year did Canada become one country? A. 1992 B. 1817 C. 1867
25. What is Kara doing in the first paragraph?
A. telling tourists how long it takes to walk the Great Trail
B. explaining the history of the Great Trail
C. giving walkers advice about walking in Canada
26. In some parts of the Great Trail, which is the only way to travel? A. walking B. cycling C. by boat
27. What does Kara think is dangerous?
A. Some parts of the path are on roads.
B. You need a boat for parts of the path.
C. Bikes and horses share the same path.
28. What does Kara say about the bear she saw? A. It looked hungry. B. It was on the path. C. It walked near her.
29. What did the old man say about the trail?
A. People from other countries will come to see it.
B. People will go into the countryside more because of it.
C. People from Canada will use it to see other parts of their country. lOMoAR cPSD| 45349271
30. What does Kara say should happen next?
A. There should be a website about the trail.
B. There should be more signs along the trail.
C. Some parts of the trail should close. lOMoAR cPSD| 45349271
Part 4.2 Read a text about the Three Peaks Challenge.
For questions 24 – 30, write A, B or C on your answer sheet.
THE THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE
My name is Shaun Perkins. I am seventeen years old and I have just done the famous Three
Peaks Challenge. This is a walking challenge which means that you have to walk up three high
mountains. I did it to get money for my local children’s hospital because they had helped my
brother when he was very sick.
I did the walk with a special group because it can be quite dangerous especially if the weather
is bad. They have a guide who shows you where to walk. When we started on the first mountain,
I was worried that it would be too difficult for me but actually it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
We did the walk in the summer so that the weather would be good. The first two mountains
were lovely as the sun was shining. However, we were half way up the third mountain when a
storm suddenly came. It was raining and there was a heavy thunderstorm. I was very afraid. No
one we hurt but we did get very wet.
The most important thing about this challenge is the clothes you wear. That means you need
good waking boots, trousers and jacket, and a hat for the sun. It doesn’t matter what your clothes
look like but be comfortable. Also, you need a small bag.
I had a brilliant time on the challenge even though it rained. I didn’t really have many people
to talk to but the places where we walked were really beautiful and I loved looking all around me, on the mountains.
24. Why did Shaun want to do the Three Peak Challenge?
A. to help his brother get better
B. to help the hospital in his town
C. to pay for his brother’s hospital bill
25. Why did Shaun do the challenge with some other people and a guide? A. Because he wanted
to have someone to talk to while walking.
B. Because it is safer to walk with a group.
C. Because he wanted to take photos with them.
26. What does Shaun say about the first mountain?
A. It wasn’t as much of a problem as he had thought.
B. It was very difficult to walk up.
C. The guide helped him when he got lost.
27. What happened to Shaun on the last mountain? A. He got wet but he wasn’t worried.
B. He had an accident because the weather was bad.
C. He was worried about the weather but it was OK in the end. 28. Shaun says that
A. you should take a big bag with you.
B. you need to wear the right clothes.
C. you should wear a nice looking hat.
29. How many items of clothing did Shaun wear? lOMoAR cPSD| 45349271 A. four B. five C. six
30. What did Shaun enjoy most?
