It helps train them to focus on particular details within a larger context, such as numbers, dates, or other factual data, that might be part of a news broadcast. Other options, while valuable, do not specifically target the skill of listening for detailed information.2、When designing a reading lesson, what is the primary purpose ofpre-reading activities?A)To practice grammar and vocabulary related to the textB)To introduce the topic and activate prior knowledgeC)To summarize the main points of the textD)To assess students’ comprehension after readingAnswer: B) To introduce the topic and activate prior knowledgeExplanation: Pre-reading activities are crucial for setting the stage for successful reading. They help to engage students with the topic, stimulate interest, and connect the new material to what they already know, thereby facilitating better understanding and retention. While practicing grammar and vocabulary can be beneficial, it is typically more aligned with during- or post-reading stages. Summarizing the main points and assessing comprehension are generally done after the reading has taken place.3、The sentence “The book is as interesting as a movie.” is an example of which figure of speech?A)HyperboleB)SimileC)MetaphorD)AlliterationAnswer: B) SimileExplanation: A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things, typically using “as” or “like.” In this sentence, “as interesting as a movie” is comparing the book’s interest level to that of a movie.4、In the following sentence, “She sang beautifully,” the word “beautifully” is an example of what part of speech?A)VerbB)AdverbC)NounD)AdjectiveAnswer: B) AdverbExplanation: An adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

The passive voice construction involves using a form of the verb ‘to be’ with the past participle of the main verb. Option A is correct because it uses ‘was read’, which is the past passive form of the verb ‘read’. The other options either use active voice (B and D) or have incomplete structure (C).6、What type of word formation process is illustrated in the creation of the word “unbelievable” from “believe”?A) ConversionB) CompoundingC) AffixationD) BlendingAnswer: C) AffixationExplanation: The term “unbelievable” is formed by adding the prefix “un-” and the suffix “-able” to the base word “believe.” This process of word formation, where affixes (prefixes or suffixes) are added to a root word to create new words, is known as affixation. Conversion refers to changing a word from one part of speech to another without changing the form of the word, compounding involves combining two or more words to create a new word, and blending is the process of creating a new word by merging parts of two existing words.7、The following sentence contains a verb that is in the passive voice. Which one is it?A. The book is being read by the students.B. The students are reading the book.C. The book reads by the students.D. The students read the book.Answer: AExplanation: The sentence in the p assive voice is “The book is being read by the students.” In the passive voice, the focus is on the action being done to the subject, which in this case is “the book.” The subject “the book” is being acted upon by the students.8、Choose the word that best completes the following sentence:The teacher__________the students to work in groups to complete the project.A. requiredB. permittedC. recommendedD. requestedAnswer: DExplanation: The correct word to complete the sentence is “requested.” This is bec ause “request” is a polite way of asking for something, which is appropriate in the context of a teacher asking students to work in groups. “Required” implies a mandatory action, “permitted” implies allowing something to happen, and “recommended” implies g iving a suggestion.9、Which of the following sentences correctly uses the subjunctive mood to express a wish or a hypothetical situation?A) If only I were younger, I could enjoy playing sports more.B) If he was here, he would help us.C) She wishes that she is at home.D) They demanded that the meeting will be postponed.Answer: A) If only I were younger, I could enjoy playing sports more.Explanation: The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes, suggestions, or situations that are contrary to fact or are unlikely to happen. In option A, “were” is the correct form to use in a wish clause, and “could” properlyexpresses a hypothetical situation.10、Choose the sentence that correctly demonstrates the use of a reported speech (indirect speech).A) He said, “I have already completed my homework.”B) She exclaimed, “This book is fascinating!”C) They asked if we had seen their lost cat.D) She asked me, “Are you coming to the party tonight?”Answer: C) They asked if we had seen their lost cat.Explanation: Reported speech (also known as indirect speech) involves reporting what someone else has said without using their exact words. In option C, the original direct question “Have you seen our lost cat?” is transformed into an indirect question “if we had seen their lost cat,” which is grammatically correct when reporting the speech.11.The sentence “The book is easy to read, but difficult to understand.” can be best paraphrased as:A)The book is readable, but comprehension is challenging.B)The book is easy, but it’s hard to grasp its meaning.C)The book is simple to read, but complex in its content.D)It’s simple to read the book, but it’s tough to understand it.Answer: AExplanation: Option A maintains the original meaning by using synonyms for “easy” (readable) and “difficult” (challenging) while keeping the structure of the sentence similar. The other options change the sentence structure or useslightly different meanings that do not convey the same idea as the original sentence.12.Which of the following phrases is most appropriate to use when addressinga group of students during a lesson?A)“Class, please pay attention to the board.”B)“Ladies and gentlemen, I need your full attention.”C)“Boys and girls, let’s begin with the next activity.”D)“Good afternoon, students, let’s move on to the exercise.”Answer: AExplanation: Option A is the most appropriate because it directly addresses the class and requests their attention, which is common practice in a classroom setting. Options B and D are too formal and may come across as unnecessary, while option C focuses on the activity rather than the immediate need for attention.13、Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)?A)Focusing on fluency over accuracyB)Emphasizing the use of authentic materialsC)Encouraging learner autonomyD)Prioritizing the teaching of grammatical structures in isolationAnswer: D) Prioritizing the teaching of grammatical structures in isolationExplanation: Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) emphasizes the importance of meaningful communication and the functional use of language. It encourages fluency and the use of authentic materials to simulate real-lifesituations. CLT also supports the development of learner autonomy by allowing students to take an active role in their learning process. The teaching of grammatical structures in isolation, which focuses on form rather than meaning or function, is not a typical feature of CLT and is more characteristic of traditional, teacher-centered approaches to language instruction.14、When designing a reading comprehension task, what is the most important factor to consider in order to ensure that the task is effective and engaging for high school students?A)The length of the textB)The relevance of the content to students’ interests and experiencesC)The complexity of the vocabulary used in the textD)The inclusion of pictures and diagramsAnswer: B) The relevance of the content to students’ interests and experiencesExplanation: To create an effective and engaging reading comprehension task, it’s crucial that the content resonates with the students’ own lives and interests. This connection can motivate them to read more closely and critically. While the length of the text, the complexity of the vocabulary, and visual aids such as pictures and diagrams can all play a role in the design of a good reading task, they are secondary to the relevance of the content. When students find the material relevant, they are more likely to be invested in understanding and analyzing the text, thus enhancing their comprehension skills and overall engagement with the subject matter.15.The sentence “He is a teacher who always encourages his students toexpress their opinions freely.” is a n example of a sentence that demonstrates which of the following teaching principles?A.
