Comprehension - Tigers The tiger is the largest of the cats. The head and body of a full-grown male is two metres long with the addition of a metre of tail. Its shoulders stand a metre above the ground and it weighs up to one hundred and eighty kilograms. Most tigers lived in thick forest areas of central India, where they mainly hunted buffalo, deer, wild pig. and monkeys. There were about 40 000 sixty years ago but because large area of forest have been cleared for farming, there are now less than 2000. A tiger prefers to hunt at night, as it sees well in the dark. Its black stripes blend in with the shadows, and the pads on its paws make no noise as it walks silently. It will creep through the bushes and between tree trunks until it is close enough to spring out with a rush. It leaps onto the back of an animal, grabbing it with its strong paws, and delivers a lethal bite to the neck. When a tiger does make a kill, it drags the body into thick bushes or among rocks. After eating as much as possible it will have a drink, sleep all day, then have another meal until there is nothing left. A small deer may be eaten in one meal, but a buffalo will provide several. Tiger cubs are usually born in litters of two, three or four. They weigh between one and two kilograms and their eyes remain closed for the first two weeks. The mother hides them in a cave whilst she goes hunting. The cubs feed on their mother's milk for two months and then gradually change to eating meat. They are still too young to hunt, and spend their time playing and walking around whilst their mother is away. When the cubs are about a year old, they weigh up to a hundred kilograms. By now they are big enough to begin hunting their own food. In another year they will be able to look after themselves, and the family breaks up. Place a tick against each sentence that is true. 1 Tigers are not as large as lions. 2 Tigers travel in packs when they go hunting. 3 A tiger prefers to hunt when it is dark. 4 Tigers always have a single cub. 5 A baby tiger cannot see when it is born. 6 Tiger cubs usually leave the family when they are about two years old. * Write a word from the passage that means: 7 able to cause death ............................ 8 mixes ........................................

Foreword Excellence in English Year 5 is the fifth of a series aimed at

primary children to help improve their English. There are

many challenging exercises that will extend their

vocabulary, grammar, reading and thinking skills. The

systematic practice will give confidence to those who may

later sit for entrance or scholarship examinations which test

English and General Aptitude.

It is suggested that a child works through the book

sequentially rather than jumping from one section to

another. A dictionary should be consulted to avoid

guesswork - especially when the meaning of a multiple

choice word is not known.

Answers are provided in the centre section for ease of

removal. When using this book at home or school, it may be

a temptation for a child to look at answers if they remain in the book.

Comprehension - The First Paper At first men and women painted or carved pictures and signs on bone, wood or stone. They then made bricks of clay and stamped inscriptions on them. The Egyptians carved hieroglyphics, a kind of picture writing, on their temple walls. Later, they were probably the first to invent a kind of paper, and the word 'papyrus' was the name of the bulrush from which it was made. This plant grew along the banks of the Nile. Papyrus paper was primitive. The white pith was cut into long strips and laid together with strips going across. A little mud was used to glue them together and then it was beaten and dried. Many old papyrus rolls have been found with writings of famous Greek visitors to ancient Egypt. We really must thank the Chinese for our modern paper. These people originally wrote on bamboo boards or on silk until someone used bark, old rags or fishing nets to make paper. When this happened we are not sure, but there is a story of how the oldest paper came to be found. An English explorer, Sir Aurel Stein, went to China to trace lost cities along the Great Wall built to keep out invaders. Here and there along the ancient wall stand the ruins of old watch-towers. In a heap of rubbish in one of these towers, Dr Stein and his workers made a wonderful discovery. They found bundles of letters on actual paper made from bark and rags. The letters were in an unknown language. When the language was translated later by experts, it was found that the letters were written in the actual year Jesus Christ was born. These letters are the oldest pieces of true paper known. It took over seven hundred years for this invention to reach Europe. The Chinese had taught Arabs how it was done. In turn, the Arabs invaded Spain, and brought the secret methods with them. Soon many countries mastered the skill of using rags or pulp wood to make paper in much the same way it is made today, only the process has been improved and speeded up by using machinery. Answer the questions. 1 Who were the first to make paper similar to the kind we use today? .................................... 2 What nationality were the people who went to Egypt and wrote on papyrus? .................... 3 Was Dr Stein able to understand the contents of the letters he found? .................................. 4 What was used by Egyptians to make papyrus besides pith? .............................. 5 Would paper-making be over a thousand years old? .............................. * Write a word from the passage that means: 6 simple with little technology .......................... 7 in the beginning ...................................... 8 changed from one language to another .............................. 9 attacked and occupied ....................................

Comprehension - Your Lungs Your lungs lie in your chest on a living floor of muscle which moves up and down as you breathe. This flat sheet of muscle has a curious name - the diaphragm. Air first enters your nose where it is filtered by fine hairs. It is moistened and heated as it passes over a surface which has warm blood in it. Your lungs prefer air that is not dry. Of course you sometimes breathe through your mouth when in a hurry, but air passing through your nose is better for you. The air then travels down through your voice box. Every time you breathe, your brain sends a message to nerves that swing your vocal cords widely apart so air can pass without you making a sound. Air then enters the windpipe before branching into your bronchial tubes which lead into the lungs. Here it reaches air sacs. Air sacs are really nothing but hollow spaces with very fine walls. The oxygen from air is then cleverly passed from the air sacs into the blood stream. This oxygen is carried to all parts of the body in order that cells can use or burn it off. In turn, the cells put back a poisonous gas called carbon dioxide into the blood stream. This poison leaves the blood to enter air sacs and is then breathed out. No wonder you should sleep with a window open in your bedroom. You will feel better if there is fresh air rather than poisonous carbon dioxide in the room. You have two lungs - each having been cleverly designed. They look rather like a pair of sponges. The surface area where the blood is exposed to air sacs measures at least two hundred square metres. Your lungs were pearly white and tinted pink when you were a baby. As you grow older they will become more and more grey. The reason is that you cannot help breathing air that is polluted. Minute particles will discolour them. However, if you smoke, they will become browny-black. You may eventually develop emphysema, a disease which prevents the lungs taking enough oxygen from the air Smoking also causes lung cancer. Both diseases are killers, so perhaps it would be advisable to breathe through your nose as much as possible and avoid inhaling smoke from your or anyone else's cigarette. Place a tick against each sentence that is true. 1 It is better for you to breathe air through your nose than your mouth. 2 When you breathe, your vocal cords automatically close. 3 Your body cells need carbon dioxide which they get from air you breathe. 4 The surface area of your lungs is large. 5 Your lungs become darker in colour as you grow older. 6 Smoking is not harmful to your lungs. * Write a word from the passage that means 7 harmful to the body ........................ 8 breathing in ................................ 9 made slightly wet ............................ 10 after a length of time ............................
