Comprehension and Composition 1Comprehension Task – 1 HourRead the extract from Call of the Wild below, and answer the questions that follow.Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, notalone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair,from Puget Sound to San Diego. Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found ayellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find,thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogsthey wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protectthem from the frost.Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. Judge Miller's place, itwas called. It stood back from the road, half hidden among the trees, through which glimpsescould be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran around its four sides. The house wasapproached by gravelled driveways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns andunder the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. At the rear things were on even a more spaciousscale than at the front. There were great stables, where a dozen grooms and boys held forth,rows of vine-clad servants' cottages, an endless and orderly array of outhouses, long grapearbors, green pastures, orchards, and berry patches. Then there was the pumping plant forthe artesian well, and the big cement tank where Judge Miller's boys took their morning plungeand kept cool in the hot afternoon.And over this great demesne Buck ruled. Here he was born, and here he had livedthe four years of his life. It was true, there were other dogs, There could not but be otherdogs on so vast a place, but they did not count. They came and went, resided in the populouskennels, or lived obscurely in the recesses of the house after the fashion of Toots, the Japanesepug, or Ysabel, the Mexican hairless,—strange creatures that rarely put nose out of doors orset foot to ground. On the other hand, there were the fox terriers, a score of them at least,who yelped fearful promises at Toots and Ysabel looking out of the windows at them andprotected by a legion of housemaids armed with brooms and mops.But Buck was neither house-dog nor kennel-dog. The whole realm was his. Heplunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge's sons; he escorted Mollieand Alice, the Judge's daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nightshe lay at the Judge's feet before the roaring library fire; he carried the Judge's grandsons onhis back, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their footsteps through wild adventuresdown to the fountain in the stable yard, and even beyond, where the paddocks were, and theberry patches. Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterlyignored, for he was king,—king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller'splace, humans included. 2
His father, Elmo, a huge St. Bernard, had been the Judge's inseparable companion,and Buck bid fair to follow in the way of his father. He was not so large,—he weighed onlyone hundred and forty pounds,—for his mother, Shep, had been a Scotch shepherd dog.Nevertheless, one hundred and forty pounds, to which was added the dignity that comes ofgood living and universal respect, enabled him to carry himself in right royal fashion. Duringthe four years since his puppyhood he had lived the life of a sated aristocrat; he had a finepride in himself, was even a trifle egotistical, as country gentlemen sometimes become becauseof their insular situation. But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere pampered housedog. Hunting and kindred outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardened his muscles;and to him, as to the cold-tubbing races, the love of water had been a tonic and a healthpreserver.And this was the manner of dog Buck was in the fall of 1897, when the Klondikestrike dragged men from all the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read thenewspapers, and he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was anundesirable acquaintance. Manuel had one besetting sin. He loved to play Chinese lottery.Also, in his gambling, he had one besetting weakness—faith in a system; and this made hisdamnation certain. For to play a system requires money, while the wages of a gardener's helperdo not lap over the needs of a wife and numerous progeny.Jack London, Call of the Wild 3

Comprehension and Composition 2Comprehension Task – 1 HourRead the extract from Little Women below, and answer the questions that follow.‘Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,’ grumbled Jo,lying on the rug.‘It's so dreadful to be poor!’ sighed Meg, looking down at her olddress.‘I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, andother girls nothing at all,’ added little Amy, with an injured sniff.‘We've got Father and Mother, and each other,’ said Beth contentedlyfrom her corner.The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at thecheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, ‘We haven't got Father,and shall not have him for a long time.’ She didn't say ‘perhaps never,’ buteach silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone, ‘Youknow the reason Mother proposed not having any presents this Christmaswas because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks weought not to spend money for pleasure, when our men are suffering so inthe army. We can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and oughtto do it gladly. But I am afraid I don't,’ and Meg shook her head, as shethought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.‘But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good. We'veeach got a dollar, and the army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that.I agree not to expect anything from Mother or you, but I do want tobuy Undine and Sintran for myself. I've wanted it so long,’ said Jo, who was abookworm.‘I planned to spend mine in new music,’ said Beth, with a little sigh,which no one heard but the hearth brush and kettle-holder.‘I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them,’said Amy decidedly. 25
‘Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to giveup everything. Let's each buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm surewe work hard enough to earn it,’ cried Jo, examining the heels of her shoesin a gentlemanly manner.‘I know I do—teaching those tiresome children nearly all day, when I'mlonging to enjoy myself at home,’ began Meg, in the complaining tone again.‘You don't have half such a hard time as I do,’ said Jo. ‘How would you liketo be shut up for hours with a nervous, fussy old lady, who keeps youtrotting, is never satisfied, and worries you till you're ready to fly out thewindow or cry?’‘It's naughty to fret, but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy isthe worst work in the world. It makes me cross, and my hands get so stiff, Ican't practice well at all.’ And Beth looked at her rough hands with a sighthat any one could hear that time.Louisa May Alcott, Little Women 26

Comprehension and Composition 3Comprehension Task – 1 HourRead the extract from Oliver Twist below, and answer the questions that follow.The room in which the boys were fed, was a large stone hall, with acopper at one end: out of which the master, dressed in an apron for thepurpose, and assisted by one or two women, ladled the gruel at mealtimes.Of this festive composition each boy had one porringer, and no more—except on occasions of great public rejoicing, when he had two ounces anda quarter of bread besides.The bowls never wanted washing. The boys polished them with theirspoons till they shone again; and when they had performed this operation(which never took very long, the spoons being nearly as large as the bowls),they would sit staring at the copper, with such eager eyes, as if they couldhave devoured the very bricks of which it was composed; employingthemselves, meanwhile, in sucking their fingers most assiduously, with theview of catching up any stray splashes of gruel that might have been castthereon. Boys have generally excellent appetites. Oliver Twist and hiscompanions suffered the tortures of slow starvation for three months: at lastthey got so voracious and wild with hunger, that one boy, who was tall forhis age, and hadn't been used to that sort of thing (for his father had kept asmall cook-shop), hinted darkly to his companions, that unless he hadanother basin of gruel per diem, he was afraid he might some night happento eat the boy who slept next him, who happened to be a weakly youth oftender age. He had a wild, hungry eye; and they implicitly believed him. Acouncil was held; lots were cast who should walk up to the master aftersupper that evening, and ask for more; and it fell to Oliver Twist.The evening arrived; the boys took their places. The master, in hiscook's uniform, stationed himself at the copper; his pauper assistants rangedthemselves behind him; the gruel was served out; and a long grace was saidover the short commons. The gruel disappeared; the boys whispered eachother, and winked at Oliver; while his next neighbours nudged him. Child as 48
he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery. He rose fromthe table; and advancing to the master, basin and spoon in hand, said:somewhat alarmed at his own temerity:'Please, sir, I want some more.'The master was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazedin stupefied astonishment on the small rebel for some seconds, and thenclung for support to the copper. The assistants were paralysed with wonder;the boys with fear.'What!' said the master at length, in a faint voice.'Please, sir,' replied Oliver, 'I want some more.'The master aimed a blow at Oliver's head with the ladle; pinioned himin his arm; and shrieked aloud for the beadle.The board were sitting in solemn conclave, when Mr. Bumble rushedinto the room in great excitement, and addressing the gentleman in the highchair, said,'Mr. Limbkins, I beg your pardon, sir! Oliver Twist has asked formore!'There was a general start. Horror was depicted on every countenance.'For more!' said Mr. Limbkins. 'Compose yourself, Bumble, and answerme distinctly. Do I understand that he asked for more, after he had eaten thesupper allotted by the dietary?''He did, sir,' replied Bumble.'That boy will be hung,' said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. 'Iknow that boy will be hung.'Nobody controverted the prophetic gentleman's opinion. Ananimated discussion took place. Oliver was ordered into instant confinement;and a bill was next morning pasted on the outside of the gate, offering areward of five pounds to anybody who would take Oliver Twist off the handsof the parish. In other words, five pounds and Oliver Twist were offered toany man or woman who wanted an apprentice to any trade, business, orcalling.Charles Dickens Oliver Twist 49
