QUIZ READING 1

Question 1

(1A) In order to improve language skills and do well in proficiency exams, we should work on some listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.

(1B) For example, students should be aware that understanding a text, whether oral or written, is not about knowing all the words.

(1C) Getting the context is much more important than knowing individual vocabulary.

(1D)

The following sentence was removed from the first paragraph:

Although some things may seem pretty obvious and easy, there are a few details that can make a difference.

Choose the alternative where the sentence would best fit.

1A 1B  1C 1D
A: 1B

Question 2

(2A) There are two main reading strategies: skimming and scanning. Skimming means getting the main idea rather than having full comprehension of the text.

(2B) Scanning shows to be useful when you need to find specific information without reading the entire article.

(2C) If the text is lengthy or difficult, do a preliminary skimming to determine which part to scan.

(2D)

The following sentence was removed from the second paragraph:

When you find the information you need, read the entire sentence or paragraph.

Choose the alternative where the sentence would best fit.

2A 2B 2C 2D
A: 2D

Question 3

(3A) Listening tends to be a little harder, for proficiency exams usually present long listening passages.

(3B) For example, you hear the number 8 but don't hear the final "t", so to you it may sound like the letter "a".

(3C) After a quick mental search, you realize no other number from one to ten has a similar beginning sound.

(3D)

The following sentence was removed from the third paragraph:

Spelling names or telephone numbers may be hard to get at once, but it is possible to get the missing information if you use the technique of "association".

Choose the alternative where the sentence would best fit.

3A 3B  3C 3D
A: 3B
