GRADE 11 – UNIT ONE – READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage then answer the questions below:
Your genes are responsible for your appearance and your health. Half your genes are from
your mother, the other half from your father. You are not identical to your mother or your father,
but you probably look a bit like both of them. Or you may resemble one of your grandparents.
But even if you are like other members of your family, you are unique. Your genes are different
from everyone else’s genes. The only people who have exactly the same genes are identical
twins. They should look exactly the same.
Some of the features you inherit from your parents are hair, eye colour, skin colour and facial
features like the size and shape of your nose. You probably have the same hair colour as one of
your parents, but this is not always true. Two dark-haired parents can have a blond or red-headed
child. This happens when there was a blond or red-headed ancestor. Fifty percent of men with
bald fathers will lose their hair. But the gene for baldness can come from the mother’s family too
-only boys should look at their mother’s father. They may take after him.
The strongest, or dominant, gene in eye colour is brown. If both parents have brown eyes,
their children probably have brown eyes too. It’s also common for two brown-eyed parents to
have a blue-eyed child, but unusual for two blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child. As
well as eye colour, you can inherit poor eyesight from your parents. So if you’re short-sighted,
you’re probably not the only person in your family who wears glasses.
There are many different skin colours: from black, dark brown, brown, light brown to white.
Most families share the same skin colour, but black parents can give birth to a lighter-skinned
child if they have pale-skinned ancestors. Usually, a black and a white parent have dark-skinned
children because black is a dominant gene. But twin sisters Hayleigh and Lauren are exceptions.
One twin is black and the other is white. Hayleigh looks exactly like her black father and Lauren
is the image of her white mother. This was only possible because their father had a white relative
in his past.
Finally, if you are left-handed or if you have dimples in your cheeks or chin, you can thank
your genes.
A) From a, b, c and d choose the correct answer:
1. What is the best title for the passage?
a) Human Beings
b) Features of Twins
c) A Family Tradition
d) It’s All in the Genes
2. The underlined word “dominant” in the 3
rd paragraph means:
a) usual
b) appropriate
c) weak
d) main
3. The underlined word “their” in the 2
nd paragraph refers to:
a) boys
b) men
c) bald fathers
d) mother’s family
4. From the 1st paragraph we learn that genes:
a) are identical in everybody.
b) specify who your parents are.
c) determine what you look like.
d) come mainly from your grandparents’ side.
5. According to the 2nd paragraph, ONE of the following statements is TRUE about men:
a) They nearly always have sons who go bald.
b) They sometimes inherit baldness from their mother’s side.
c) They always lose their hair because of their father’s genes.
d) They never pass on baldness through their daughter’s genes.
B) With reference to the passage, answer the following questions:
6. Which people have exactly the same genes?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
7. What features do you inherit from your parents?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
8. How can you explain that two brown-eyed parents having a blue-eyed child?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
9. According to the 4th paragraph, explain why black and white parents give birth to
dark- skinned children.

GRADE 11 – UNIT ONE – SUMMARY MAKING
– Read the following passage, then do as required:
It is hard to know where to start when beginning strength training. There are countless
exercises you can do. Some of which work with certain bodies, while others don’t. With some
familiarity of the basics, you can begin to craft a routine helping you achieve your personal goals.
Strength training should be a part of your workout routine due to its numerous benefits. One
purpose of strength training is to build muscles and improve bone density. For another thing,
strength training increases the strength of ligaments and joint functioning. It can help raise good
cholesterol levels and lower blood sugar levels. Most people like strength training because of its
most obvious benefit which is having a slimmer appearance.
In a paragraph of FOUR sentences ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the passage above in
answer to the following question:
What are the benefits of strength training?

GRADE 11 – UNIT TWO– READING COMPREHENSION
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying
speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called reading
disability, dyslexia affects areas of the brain that process language. People with dyslexia have
normal intelligence and they usually have normal vision. Most children with dyslexia can succeed
in school with tutoring or a specialized education programme. Emotional support also plays an
important role for them.
The symptoms of dyslexia can be difficult to recognise before your child enters school, but
some early clues may indicate a problem. Once your child reaches school age, your child’s teacher
may be the first to notice a problem. The condition often becomes apparent as a child starts
learning to read. Once your child is in school, dyslexia signs and symptoms may become more
apparent, including: Reading well below the expected level for age, having problems concerning
processing and understanding what he or she hears and having a difficulty to find the right word
or forming answers to questions. One thing that can be observed in a dyslexic’s writing is that
some of the letters will be written backwards.
Dyslexia tends to run in families. It appears to be linked to certain genes that affect how
the brain processes reading and language, as well as risk factors in the environment. Scientists
have listed some dyslexia risk factors. A family history of dyslexia or other learning disabilities
gives an early clue. Early birth or low birth weight of a baby can also lead to dyslexia. Exposure
during pregnancy to nicotine, drugs, or infection that may alter brain development in the fetus
will surely cause dyslexia. Finally, Individual differences in the parts of the brain that enable
reading can negatively affect on the reading ability of the child.
Dyslexia is not a medical problem. There is no medication that can heal dyslexia. Dyslexia is a
disorder present at birth and it can be managed with special instruction and support. Early
interference to address reading problems is important. Parents must understand that children
with dyslexia can learn normally, but probably need to learn in different ways than children
without the condition. Teaching should be individualized and may involve modeling letters and
words in clay or other three-dimensional techniques to help the child learn letters and words. It
should be carefully chosen to meet the child needs.

1- The best title for this passage is …………….

SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following passage then do as required:
School libraries are important for both teachers and students. Teachers need resources that
will help them improve classroom instructions. Students must be able to find materials that will
answer questions on home works. School librarians select materials for the library and help
students and teachers effectively use its resources. For example, a school librarian might guide
a student to books useful for a particular assignment. In addition, the librarian might teach the
student how to use an online public access catalogue of available materials. School librarians also
help young people find enjoyable books to read in their free time. School librarians should have
specialised training in librarianship. They should also have teaching skills, because school
librarians work closely with educators.

GRADE 11 – UNIT THREE – READING COMPREHENSION
– Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:
Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays
he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about this remarkable man, except
perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and that he married
a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for
example, how long it lasted, but we presume that he attended the local grammar school,
where the principal subject was Latin. Nothing certain is known of what he did between
the time he left school and his departure for London. Many legends were said about the
reasons that made him leave Stratford, but nobody was sure of them.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that
he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in
London. It is said that at first, he was without money or friends there, but that he earned a
little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatres.
In time, as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke
to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join the
company.
Earlier than 1592 there was no mention of Shakespeare either as an actor, or as a
playwright. Even the name of the theatre he worked in was not known. However, by this
date he had become one of the three leading members of a company of actors. This
company travelled about the country, giving performances in different towns, and also
performed plays at Court. His plays attracted large audiences. He also shared in the profits
of the works. Thus, his connections with the theatre made him a wealthy man.
Shakespeare died in 1616. Some years earlier he chose a gravestone, under which he
was to be buried. He had a statement engraved on this stone which threatened to bring
misfortune to anyone who might steal his grave. It seems strange that he should have had
this fear. He must have known how greatly he was respected, even in his lifetime, for the
genius that he showed in his plays and poems.
A- From a , b , c and d , choose the right answer:
1. The best title for the text is:
a. A Genius Poet and Playwright.
b. A Famous Playwright.

d. A Mystery in a Writer’s Life.

d. displaying
3. The underlined pronoun “they” in the 2nd paragraph refers to:
a. the actors
b. the theatres
c. the gentlemen
d. the horses
4. The 3 rd paragraph sheds light on:
a. the reasons why Shakespeare went to London.
b. how Shakespeare was fought in London.
c. how Shakespeare could make friends in London.
d. how Shakespeare became a famous dramatist in London
5. According to the passage, one of the following facts is NOT TRUE about Shakespeare:
a. Shakespeare died in 1616.
b. Shakespeare was a great poet and playwright.
c. Shakespeare left school as he was bad at Latin.

GRADE 11 – UNIT THREE – SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following passage then answer the question below:
It seems that the desire for money is part of human nature. This desire varies from one
person to another. However, in every society, rich or poor, there is a strong relation between
money and respect. The more money a person has, the more prestige he is likely to acquire.
Money plays a different role in every stage of our life; therefore, its importance is closely
related to the personal or social goals it is meant to achieve. To a child at school, it means
buying things like candies and sweets. Besides, to teenagers and young people, it means
independence and it helps them gain a marked social status and respect, since they can buy
things their fellow teenagers cannot. Moreover, An adult realises the value of money as a
breadwinner of a family. Satisfying the family needs and brings him/her happiness. Finally, at
the age of retirement, money is the main source of security to a person.
In four sentences of your own, summarise and paraphrase the paragraph in an answer to the following question:
What ‘s the importance of money at the different stages of life?

GRADE 11 – UNIT FOUR – READING COMPREHENSION
Did you know that some people do not do their reading assignments? Some students do
not even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are many reasons for this. They
may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident
readers. Whatever the reason, it must stop today.
Reading stimulates your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get
old, their muscles begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their strength leaves them.
Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get
older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents
these declines.
You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge.
Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can
learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design
clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and
the only way to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting.
Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a
larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and
think more intelligently.
Do not just discount a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you
are exposed to new ideas and perspectives. Reading can change the way that you
understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you
worldlier. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures
different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind as it has a calming effect. It can lower your
stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you
read, and it is a positive escape. So, do yourself a favour: the next time you get a reading
assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it
contains. Then move on to the next one.
A. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c, and d:
1. The main idea of the second paragraph is:
a) Age doesn’t affect the body in many ways.
b) Reading deteriorates your muscles.
c) Reading strengthens your mind.
d) Working out keeps your body in shape.
2. The word “stimulates” in paragraph ( 2 ) means:
a) hits
b) kills
c) stops
d) energizes
3. The pronoun “it” in paragraph ( 5 ) refers to:
a) way
b) reading
c) world
d) text
4. According to the 1st paragraph, ONLY ONE of the following statements is NOT TRUE:
a) Some students do not read short texts that they are assigned in class.
b) Students don’t do their reading assignments because they feel bored.
c) Students don’t do their reading assignments because they are unwilling to focus.
d) Students don’t do their reading assignments because they may be confident readers.
5. The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage is to:
a) persuade people to read as much as they can.
b) show the obstacles that face readers.
c) inform people about the books they should read.
d) advise people about the time of reading books.
B) With reference to the passage, answer the following questions:
6. Why does the author believe that reading is good for your state of mind?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
7. How is reading beneficial in the near-term?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
8. How can reading help you think intelligently?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
9. Why does the author encourage readers not to discount unfamiliar texts?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
GRADE 11 – UNIT FOUR – SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following paragraph, then do as required:
It is understandable that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is
simply wrong. Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally
by being kept in zoos. Even the best artificial environments can’t come close to matching the
space, diversity, and freedom that animals have in their natural habitats. This deprivation
causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild
also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave
unnaturally. For example, marine parks often force dolphins and whales to perform tricks.
These mammals may die decades earlier than their wild relatives.
In FOUR sentences, summarise and paraphrase the previous paragraph in answer to the following question:
Why do some people believe that animals should be free, not kept in zoos?

GRADE 11 – UNIT FIVE – READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow:
Octopuses are creatures that can do amazing things. They are extremely intelligent, and
they can learn new things just like humans. They have even learned a few tricks to get them out
of sticky situations. If an octopus is threatened by a predator, such as a shark or bird, it can use
some pretty incredible skills to get away.
Octopuses do not have teeth or sharp claws to defend themselves. Instead, they use
more clever ways to fool their attackers. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand on the
bottom of the ocean floor; the octopus is like a chameleon because it can change the colour of
its skin to match the sand. This colour change, or camouflage, happens in less than a minute.
Some octopuses like to stay in more shallow water where there are rocks and coral. Because
octopuses are invertebrates, meaning they do not have backbones, they can squeeze
themselves into small spaces between the rocks to get out of reach of their predators. Another
way an octopus can hide is by shooting ink. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the
time the ink clears and the predator can see again, the octopus has swum away or hidden.
Moreover, if an octopus is being attacked, it can actually make itself look like a
venomous sea snake. There is one kind of octopus that has venom to use in defence. The blue-
ringed octopus is tiny; it could fit in the palm of your hand. Predators might think this size makes
the octopus a great snack, but they know to stay away. It will bury itself in the sand, keeping
two arms visible. It will change the colour of those arms to match a sea snake.
But what if there is no time to hide? If an octopus is in trouble, it can break off one of its
arms. The arm will then change colours and squirm around in the water to distract the predator
while the octopus swims away to safety. The octopus’s arm will grow back.
The blue-ringed octopus is very poisonous and can kill predators much larger than itself,
including humans. So, the next time you see an octopus in the aquarium or while you’re
snorkelling, remember that inside that oversized head is a very large brain, making them a
clever addition to the sea.
A-From a, b, c and d, choose the correct answer:
1. What is the best title for the passage?
a. A Large Brain
b. A Coloured Shark
c. A Wonderful Predator
d. An Amazing Sea Creature
2. What does the underlined word “incredible” in the (1

3. What does the underlined pronoun “them” in the ( 1
s t ) paragraph refer to ?
a. tricks
b. things
c. humans
d. octopuses
4. What does a blue-ringed octopus do if it has no time to hide?
a. It will squeeze itself into a small space between a rock.
b. It will bury itself in the sand, keeping two arms visible.
c. It will change the colour of its arms to match a sea snake.
d. It will break off one of its arms to let it squirm around in the water.
5. According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT:
a. Octopuses have sharp claws to defend themselves.
b. Octopuses are extremely intelligent sea animals.

Read the following passage carefully, then do as required:
Whales are the largest animals in the world, even larger than some species of dinosaurs.
Ironically, whales are among the gentlest creatures we know. There are people who go through
great length to help them. Whales live in the ocean but in terms of behaviour, they are more
similar to humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they
have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as
fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle
them. Moreover, female whales have very strong maternal instincts.
In a paragraph of ONLY FOUR sentences, summarise and paraphrase the previous passage in answer to the following question:
How do whales behave like humans?

GRADE 11 – UNIT SIX – READING COMPREHENSION
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian cities of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, has received much attention because of its frequent and destructive eruptions.
The most famous of these eruptions occurred in A.D. 79.
The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little warning of the coming
eruption, although one account unearthed by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong
wind had disturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night. Early the next morning, the
volcano poured a huge river of molten rock down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the
city and filling the harbour with solid lava.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone, and ash rained down on
Pompeii. Sparks from the burning ash ignited the combustible rooftops quickly. Large portions
of the city were destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the only cause of
destruction. Poisonous sulfuric gases saturated the air. These heavy gases were heavy in the
atmosphere and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.
Over the years, drilling of Pompeii and Herculaneum have revealed a great deal about the
behaviour of the volcano. By analysing data, much as a zoologist cuts an animal specimen,
scientists have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area’s geography.
For instance, it turned the Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach along
the Bay of Naples. Meteorologists studying these events have also concluded that Vesuvius
caused a huge tidal wave that affected the world’s climate.
In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have been able to study the
skeletons of victims by using distilled water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening
the brittle bones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to examine the skeletons and
draw conclusions about the diet and habits of the residents. Finally, the drilling at both
Pompeii and Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical art, such as jewellery
made of bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its
tragic consequences have provided everyone with a wealth of data about the effects that
volcanoes can have on the surrounding area. Today, volcanologists can locate and predict
eruptions, saving lives and preventing the destruction of other cities and cultures.
Choose the correct answer from a, b, c, and d:
1. The best title for the passage is:
a. The Great Eruption
b. The Huge River

d. dropped
3. The pronoun “its” in paragraph ( 4 ) refers to:

a. inform readers about Mount Vesuvius volcano eruption.
b. persuade people to visit Mount Vesuvius volcano.

GRADE 11 – UNIT SIX – SUMMARY
Read the following passage, then do as required:
During the early 1960s, there was an important group of American women pilots
who dreamed of becoming astronauts. These women were known as the Mercury 13.
Though their dreams were never realized, they inspired future female astronauts. The early
1960s was a key period in the “Space Race.” The Space Race was a competition between
the United States and the former Soviet Union to explore space. Both countries sent
satellites into space in the late 1950s. Both countries also wanted to send humans into
space. America’s first human spaceflight programme was called Project Mercury .
In a paragraph of FOUR sentences ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the passage above in
answer to the following question:

VI- Reading Comprehension (110 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Aileen Riggin was born in 1906. Her father was in the navy serving in Philippines. There,
she learned to swim at age 6. Around age 11, as she recovered from the flu, her doctor
recommended swimming to rebuild her strength. Diving became one of her favourite activities.
At that time, many people feared diving as it was too dangerous for women and girls. So, most
indoor swimming pools would not let Aileen practise her lovable sport. Aileen decided to find
other ways to practice her favourite sport. She joined the U.S Olympic trials. She used an outdoor
tide pool; where ocean water gathered between rocks. Female divers dived there. They had to
wait for the high tide to practise diving. When conditions were perfect, the tide pool was just like
a real swimming pool!
At age 14 Aileen qualified for the 1920 U.S Olympic diving and swim team. Thanks to her
qualification, she was able to travel around the world. On the 13-day journey to Belgium, Aileen
practised swimming in a small swimming pool to be physically prepared for the competitions.
Conditions at the Olympic Games were not much better since Belgium was still recovering from
World War I. The outdoor pools were so muddy, Aileen was afraid that when she dived in, she
would get stuck at the bottom forever. During the competition, she overcame her fears and won
the gold medal in diving! She became the youngest Olympic gold medalist of her time at age 14.
At the 1924 Olympics in Paris, Aileen again competed in both swimming and diving. She
won a silver medal for the 3 metre-springboard event and a bronze medal in the 100 metre-
backstroke competition, making her the first person to earn medals in both diving and swimming
in the same Olympic year.
Aileen made films, performed all over the world, and later became a sportswriter and she
never stopped swimming. At age 85, she broke six world records for her group at the World
Masters Swimming Championships. She continued to swim well into her nineties. Up to her death
at age 96, she was the oldest living female Olympic medalist.

winning. Furthermore, we all make mistakes which raise a strong force that will push us

GRADE 11 – UNIT ONE – READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage then answer the questions below:
Your genes are responsible for your appearance and your health. Half your genes are from
your mother, the other half from your father. You are not identical to your mother or your father,
but you probably look a bit like both of them. Or you may resemble one of your grandparents.
But even if you are like other members of your family, you are unique. Your genes are different
from everyone else’s genes. The only people who have exactly the same genes are identical
twins. They should look exactly the same.
Some of the features you inherit from your parents are hair, eye colour, skin colour and facial
features like the size and shape of your nose. You probably have the same hair colour as one of
your parents, but this is not always true. Two dark-haired parents can have a blond or red-headed
child. This happens when there was a blond or red-headed ancestor. Fifty percent of men with
bald fathers will lose their hair. But the gene for baldness can come from the mother’s family too
-only boys should look at their mother’s father. They may take after him.
The strongest, or dominant, gene in eye colour is brown. If both parents have brown eyes,
their children probably have brown eyes too. It’s also common for two brown-eyed parents to
have a blue-eyed child, but unusual for two blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child. As
well as eye colour, you can inherit poor eyesight from your parents. So if you’re short-sighted,
you’re probably not the only person in your family who wears glasses.
There are many different skin colours: from black, dark brown, brown, light brown to white.
Most families share the same skin colour, but black parents can give birth to a lighter-skinned
child if they have pale-skinned ancestors. Usually, a black and a white parent have dark-skinned
children because black is a dominant gene. But twin sisters Hayleigh and Lauren are exceptions.
One twin is black and the other is white. Hayleigh looks exactly like her black father and Lauren
is the image of her white mother. This was only possible because their father had a white relative
in his past.
Finally, if you are left-handed or if you have dimples in your cheeks or chin, you can thank
your genes.

GRADE 11 – UNIT TWO– READING COMPREHENSION
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying
speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called reading
disability, dyslexia affects areas of the brain that process language. People with dyslexia have
normal intelligence and they usually have normal vision. Most children with dyslexia can succeed
in school with tutoring or a specialized education programme. Emotional support also plays an
important role for them.
The symptoms of dyslexia can be difficult to recognise before your child enters school, but
some early clues may indicate a problem. Once your child reaches school age, your child’s teacher
may be the first to notice a problem. The condition often becomes apparent as a child starts
learning to read. Once your child is in school, dyslexia signs and symptoms may become more
apparent, including: Reading well below the expected level for age, having problems concerning
processing and understanding what he or she hears and having a difficulty to find the right word
or forming answers to questions. One thing that can be observed in a dyslexic’s writing is that
some of the letters will be written backwards.
Dyslexia tends to run in families. It appears to be linked to certain genes that affect how
the brain processes reading and language, as well as risk factors in the environment. Scientists
have listed some dyslexia risk factors. A family history of dyslexia or other learning disabilities
gives an early clue. Early birth or low birth weight of a baby can also lead to dyslexia. Exposure
during pregnancy to nicotine, drugs, or infection that may alter brain development in the fetus
will surely cause dyslexia. Finally, Individual differences in the parts of the brain that enable
reading can negatively affect on the reading ability of the child.
Dyslexia is not a medical problem. There is no medication that can heal dyslexia. Dyslexia is a
disorder present at birth and it can be managed with special instruction and support. Early
interference to address reading problems is important. Parents must understand that children
with dyslexia can learn normally, but probably need to learn in different ways than children
without the condition. Teaching should be individualized and may involve modeling letters and
words in clay or other three-dimensional techniques to help the child learn letters and words. It
should be carefully chosen to meet the child needs.

1- The best title for this passage is …………….

SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following passage then do as required:
School libraries are important for both teachers and students. Teachers need resources that
will help them improve classroom instructions. Students must be able to find materials that will
answer questions on home works. School librarians select materials for the library and help
students and teachers effectively use its resources. For example, a school librarian might guide
a student to books useful for a particular assignment. In addition, the librarian might teach the
student how to use an online public access catalogue of available materials. School librarians also
help young people find enjoyable books to read in their free time. School librarians should have
specialised training in librarianship. They should also have teaching skills, because school
librarians work closely with educators.

GRADE 11 – UNIT THREE – READING COMPREHENSION
– Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:
Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays
he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about this remarkable man, except
perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and that he married
a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for
example, how long it lasted, but we presume that he attended the local grammar school,
where the principal subject was Latin. Nothing certain is known of what he did between
the time he left school and his departure for London. Many legends were said about the
reasons that made him leave Stratford, but nobody was sure of them.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that
he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in
London. It is said that at first, he was without money or friends there, but that he earned a
little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatres.
In time, as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke
to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join the
company.
Earlier than 1592 there was no mention of Shakespeare either as an actor, or as a
playwright. Even the name of the theatre he worked in was not known. However, by this
date he had become one of the three leading members of a company of actors. This
company travelled about the country, giving performances in different towns, and also
performed plays at Court. His plays attracted large audiences. He also shared in the profits
of the works. Thus, his connections with the theatre made him a wealthy man.
Shakespeare died in 1616. Some years earlier he chose a gravestone, under which he
was to be buried. He had a statement engraved on this stone which threatened to bring
misfortune to anyone who might steal his grave. It seems strange that he should have had
this fear. He must have known how greatly he was respected, even in his lifetime, for the
genius that he showed in his plays and poems.
A- From a , b , c and d , choose the right answer:
1. The best title for the text is:
a. A Genius Poet and Playwright.
b. A Famous Playwright.
c. A Talented Poet.
d. A Mystery in a Writer’s Life.
2. The underlined word “departure” in the 1st paragraph is opposite in meaning to:
a. arriving
b. holding
c. visiting
d. displaying
3. The underlined pronoun “they” in the 2nd paragraph refers to:
a. the actors
b. the theatres
c. the gentlemen
d. the horses
4. The 3 rd paragraph sheds light on:
a. the reasons why Shakespeare went to London.
b. how Shakespeare was fought in London.
c. how Shakespeare could make friends in London.
d. how Shakespeare became a famous dramatist in London
5. According to the passage, one of the following facts is NOT TRUE about Shakespeare:
a. Shakespeare died in 1616.
b. Shakespeare was a great poet and playwright.
c. Shakespeare left school as he was bad at Latin.
d. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon.
B- Answer the following questions:
6. What did Shakespeare learn in the local grammar school in Stratford?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
7. Why did the actors in the theatre ask Shakespeare to join them?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
8. Where did Shakespeare start to become wealthy and famous?

GRADE 11 – UNIT THREE – SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following passage then answer the question below:
It seems that the desire for money is part of human nature. This desire varies from one
person to another. However, in every society, rich or poor, there is a strong relation between
money and respect. The more money a person has, the more prestige he is likely to acquire.
Money plays a different role in every stage of our life; therefore, its importance is closely
related to the personal or social goals it is meant to achieve. To a child at school, it means
buying things like candies and sweets. Besides, to teenagers and young people, it means
independence and it helps them gain a marked social status and respect, since they can buy
things their fellow teenagers cannot. Moreover, An adult realises the value of money as a
breadwinner of a family. Satisfying the family needs and brings him/her happiness. Finally, at
the age of retirement, money is the main source of security to a person.
In four sentences of your own, summarise and paraphrase the paragraph in an answer to the following question:
What ‘s the importance of money at the different stages of life?

GRADE 11 – UNIT FOUR – READING COMPREHENSION
Did you know that some people do not do their reading assignments? Some students do
not even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are many reasons for this. They
may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident
readers. Whatever the reason, it must stop today.
Reading stimulates your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get
old, their muscles begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their strength leaves them.
Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get
older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents
these declines.
You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge.
Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can
learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design
clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and
the only way to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting.
Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a
larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and
think more intelligently.
Do not just discount a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you
are exposed to new ideas and perspectives. Reading can change the way that you
understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you
worldlier. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures
different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind as it has a calming effect. It can lower your
stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you
read, and it is a positive escape. So, do yourself a favour: the next time you get a reading
assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it
contains. Then move on to the next one.
A. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c, and d:
1. The main idea of the second paragraph is:
a) Age doesn’t affect the body in many ways.
b) Reading deteriorates your muscles.
c) Reading strengthens your mind.
d) Working out keeps your body in shape.
2. The word “stimulates” in paragraph ( 2 ) means:
a) hits
b) kills
c) stops
d) energizes
3. The pronoun “it” in paragraph ( 5 ) refers to:
a) way
b) reading
c) world
d) text
4. According to the 1st paragraph, ONLY ONE of the following statements is NOT TRUE:
a) Some students do not read short texts that they are assigned in class.
b) Students don’t do their reading assignments because they feel bored.
c) Students don’t do their reading assignments because they are unwilling to focus.
d) Students don’t do their reading assignments because they may be confident readers.
5. The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage is to:
a) persuade people to read as much as they can.
b) show the obstacles that face readers.
c) inform people about the books they should read.
d) advise people about the time of reading books.
B) With reference to the passage, answer the following questions:
6. Why does the author believe that reading is good for your state of mind?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
7. How is reading beneficial in the near-term?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
8. How can reading help you think intelligently?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
9. Why does the author encourage readers not to discount unfamiliar texts?

GRADE 11 – UNIT FOUR – SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following paragraph, then do as required:
It is understandable that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is
simply wrong. Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally
by being kept in zoos. Even the best artificial environments can’t come close to matching the
space, diversity, and freedom that animals have in their natural habitats. This deprivation
causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild
also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave
unnaturally. For example, marine parks often force dolphins and whales to perform tricks.
These mammals may die decades earlier than their wild relatives.
In FOUR sentences, summarise and paraphrase the previous paragraph in answer to the following question:
Why do some people believe that animals should be free, not kept in zoos?

GRADE 11 – UNIT FIVE – READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow:
Octopuses are creatures that can do amazing things. They are extremely intelligent, and
they can learn new things just like humans. They have even learned a few tricks to get them out
of sticky situations. If an octopus is threatened by a predator, such as a shark or bird, it can use
some pretty incredible skills to get away.
Octopuses do not have teeth or sharp claws to defend themselves. Instead, they use
more clever ways to fool their attackers. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand on the
bottom of the ocean floor; the octopus is like a chameleon because it can change the colour of
its skin to match the sand. This colour change, or camouflage, happens in less than a minute.
Some octopuses like to stay in more shallow water where there are rocks and coral. Because
octopuses are invertebrates, meaning they do not have backbones, they can squeeze
themselves into small spaces between the rocks to get out of reach of their predators. Another
way an octopus can hide is by shooting ink. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the
time the ink clears and the predator can see again, the octopus has swum away or hidden.
Moreover, if an octopus is being attacked, it can actually make itself look like a
venomous sea snake. There is one kind of octopus that has venom to use in defence. The blue-
ringed octopus is tiny; it could fit in the palm of your hand. Predators might think this size makes
the octopus a great snack, but they know to stay away. It will bury itself in the sand, keeping
two arms visible. It will change the colour of those arms to match a sea snake.
But what if there is no time to hide? If an octopus is in trouble, it can break off one of its
arms. The arm will then change colours and squirm around in the water to distract the predator
while the octopus swims away to safety. The octopus’s arm will grow back.
The blue-ringed octopus is very poisonous and can kill predators much larger than itself,
including humans. So, the next time you see an octopus in the aquarium or while you’re
snorkelling, remember that inside that oversized head is a very large brain, making them a
clever addition to the sea.
A-From a, b, c and d, choose the correct answer:
1. What is the best title for the passage?
a. A Large Brain
b. A Coloured Shark
c. A Wonderful Predator
d. An Amazing Sea Creature
2. What does the underlined word “incredible” in the (1

a. unfortunate
b. unimportant
c. unbelievable
d. uncomfortable
3. What does the underlined pronoun “them” in the ( 1
s t ) paragraph refer to ?
a. tricks
b. things
c. humans
d. octopuses
4. What does a blue-ringed octopus do if it has no time to hide?
a. It will squeeze itself into a small space between a rock.
b. It will bury itself in the sand, keeping two arms visible.
c. It will change the colour of its arms to match a sea snake.
d. It will break off one of its arms to let it squirm around in the water.
5. According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT:
a. Octopuses have sharp claws to defend themselves.
b. Octopuses are extremely intelligent sea animals.
c. Octopuses are threatened by predators under the sea.
d. Octopuses use some tricks when they are in trouble.
B- Write with reference to the passage, answer the following questions:

GRADE 11 – UNIT FIVE – SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following passage carefully, then do as required:
Whales are the largest animals in the world, even larger than some species of dinosaurs.
Ironically, whales are among the gentlest creatures we know. There are people who go through
great length to help them. Whales live in the ocean but in terms of behaviour, they are more
similar to humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they
have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as
fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle
them. Moreover, female whales have very strong maternal instincts.
In a paragraph of ONLY FOUR sentences, summarise and paraphrase the previous passage in answer to the following question:
How do whales behave like humans?

GRADE 11 – UNIT SIX – READING COMPREHENSION
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian cities of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, has received much attention because of its frequent and destructive eruptions.
The most famous of these eruptions occurred in A.D. 79.
The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little warning of the coming
eruption, although one account unearthed by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong
wind had disturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night. Early the next morning, the
volcano poured a huge river of molten rock down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the
city and filling the harbour with solid lava.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone, and ash rained down on
Pompeii. Sparks from the burning ash ignited the combustible rooftops quickly. Large portions
of the city were destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the only cause of
destruction. Poisonous sulfuric gases saturated the air. These heavy gases were heavy in the
atmosphere and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.
Over the years, drilling of Pompeii and Herculaneum have revealed a great deal about the
behaviour of the volcano. By analysing data, much as a zoologist cuts an animal specimen,
scientists have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area’s geography.
For instance, it turned the Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach along
the Bay of Naples. Meteorologists studying these events have also concluded that Vesuvius
caused a huge tidal wave that affected the world’s climate.
In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have been able to study the
skeletons of victims by using distilled water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening
the brittle bones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to examine the skeletons and
draw conclusions about the diet and habits of the residents. Finally, the drilling at both
Pompeii and Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical art, such as jewellery
made of bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its
tragic consequences have provided everyone with a wealth of data about the effects that
volcanoes can have on the surrounding area. Today, volcanologists can locate and predict
eruptions, saving lives and preventing the destruction of other cities and cultures.

VI- Reading Comprehension (110 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Aileen Riggin was born in 1906. Her father was in the navy serving in Philippines. There,
she learned to swim at age 6. Around age 11, as she recovered from the flu, her doctor
recommended swimming to rebuild her strength. Diving became one of her favourite activities.
At that time, many people feared diving as it was too dangerous for women and girls. So, most
indoor swimming pools would not let Aileen practise her lovable sport. Aileen decided to find
other ways to practice her favourite sport. She joined the U.S Olympic trials. She used an outdoor
tide pool; where ocean water gathered between rocks. Female divers dived there. They had to
wait for the high tide to practise diving. When conditions were perfect, the tide pool was just like
a real swimming pool!
At age 14 Aileen qualified for the 1920 U.S Olympic diving and swim team. Thanks to her
qualification, she was able to travel around the world. On the 13-day journey to Belgium, Aileen
practised swimming in a small swimming pool to be physically prepared for the competitions.
Conditions at the Olympic Games were not much better since Belgium was still recovering from
World War I. The outdoor pools were so muddy, Aileen was afraid that when she dived in, she
would get stuck at the bottom forever. During the competition, she overcame her fears and won
the gold medal in diving! She became the youngest Olympic gold medalist of her time at age 14.
At the 1924 Olympics in Paris, Aileen again competed in both swimming and diving. She
won a silver medal for the 3 metre-springboard event and a bronze medal in the 100 metre-
backstroke competition, making her the first person to earn medals in both diving and swimming
in the same Olympic year.
Aileen made films, performed all over the world, and later became a sportswriter and she
never stopped swimming. At age 85, she broke six world records for her group at the World
Masters Swimming Championships. She continued to swim well into her nineties. Up to her death
at age 96, she was the oldest living female Olympic medalist.
