1 ENGLISH LANGUAGE READING - REVISION PAPER YEAR 4 June 2017 SECTION A - FICTION Read the text carefully and answer all the questions. GRACE DARLING It was a dark September morning. There was a storm at sea. A ship had been driven onto a low rock off the shores of the Farne Islands. It had been broken in two by the waves, and half of it had been washed away. The other half still lay on the rock, and those of the crew who were still alive were clinging to it. But the waves were dashing over it, and, in a little while, it too would be carried to the bottom of the sea. Could anyone save the poor, half-drowned men who were there? On one of the islands was a light-house, and there, all through that stormy night, Grace Darling had listened to the storm. Grace was the daughter of the light-house keeper, and she had lived by the sea as long as she could remember. In the darkness of the night, above the noise of the winds and waves, she heard screams and wild cries. When daylight came, she could see the wreck a mile away with the angry waters all around it. She could see the men clinging to the masts. "We must try to save them!" she cried. "Let us go out in the boat at once!" "It is of no use, Grace," said her father. "We cannot reach them." He was an old man, and he knew the force of the mighty waves. "We cannot stay here and see them die," said Grace. "We must at least try to save them." Her father could not say, "No." In a few minutes they were ready. They set off in the heavy lighthouse boat. Grace pulled one oar, and her father the other, and they made straight toward the wreck. Page 1 of 9

2 But it was hard rowing against such a sea, and it seemed as though they would never reach the place. At last they were close to the rock, and now they were in greater danger than before. The fierce waves broke against the boat, and it would have been dashed in pieces had it not been for the strength and skill of the brave girl After many tries, Grace's father finally climbed upon the wreck while Grace herself held the boat. Then, one by one, the worn-out crews were helped on board. It was all that the girl could do to keep the frail boat from drifting away, or breaking upon the sharp edges of the rock. Then her father clambered back into his place. Strong hands grasped the oars, and soon all were safe in the lighthouse. There Grace proved to be as tender as a nurse, just like she had been brave as a sailor. She cared very kindly for the ship-wrecked men until the storm had died away, and they were strong enough to go to their own homes. All this happened a long time ago, but the name of Grace Darling will never be forgotten. She lies buried now in a little churchyard by the sea, not far from her old home. Every year many people go there to see her grave, and there is a monument placed in honor of the brave girl. It is not a large monument, but it is one that speaks of the noble deed which made Grace Darling famous. It is a figure carved in stone of a woman lying at rest with a boat's oar held fast in her right hand. Q1. Choose the correct answer and circle it. i. The story is set in a. Sea b. Island c.

6 SECTION B NON-FICTION Read the text carefully and answer all the questions. The Vikings The Vikings lived in Britain about 1000 years ago. They were from Norway, a land of mountains and fjords, where the winters were long and cold and it was difficult to grow crops. They were tall and fair haired and very fierce in battle. Home Life The men built boats and went hunting. They grew flax to make clothes. They grew wheat, rye and barley. They kept cows, sheep and horses. They also practised sword fighting and spear throwing. The women were always busy spinning and weaving. The women cooked and brewed strong beer. The children did not go to school. They played and learnt skills they would need when they were older. Viking Long Boats The Vikings built long boats. They were narrow with one sail. The front part curved up high into the shape of a bird s beak or an animal s head. The men on board called their ships Dragons. Viking Raiders The Vikings were raiders and every summer would set off across the seas in their long boats. They would steal anything of value and also take prisoners who would become their slaves. Before they left the villages, they would set them alight. Life After Death The Vikings believed in many gods. When they died they were buried with their belongings because they believed in the afterlife. When wealthy Vikings died they were buried in their war ship with all their belongings, for example food and drink, weapons and their animals. Poor people were buried in a big hole in the ground with only a few things to take with them to the afterlife, for example spindles for weaving and a barrel of milk. If they were honourable and brave they would go to Valhalla, Viking heaven. A Viking raider Page 6 of 9
