тест по английскому языку (5 класс)

Test 3

1. Read the text and choose the right variant.

Yesterday I got up and suddenly felt something wrong. I had neither a headache nor a pain in my stomach. A sudden thought came into my mind. How could I forget! I washed my face and looked into the mirror. I was so sorry for that poor child!

“Be quicker! You won’t have any time for your breakfast!” my Mum looked at me attentively. “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know, Mum ... My throat! I can’t drink even warm tea with milk!” “Why can’t you?”

“I don’t know! I just can’t swallow! I have a terrible pain in my throat.” “OK,” my Mum said. “I see. I see that you’re seriously ill. You have a sore throat. But you have your English test today, don’t you?”

“I do, Mum. But you see, I just can’t swallow ...”

“Are you going to swallow anything during your test?” my Mum asked sighing. I understood everything. My Mum didn’t believe me! Last time, when I was coughing badly, I also had a difficult test at school. Not in English, in Maths. And two weeks ago the day I had my Russian test, I suddenly felt a terrible toothache ... “But Mum, is it my fault that every time I have my tests something bad happens to me?”

“It is not, it is not at all,” my Mum answered shaking her head. “All the fault is mine. Now I see you have real problems at school. OK, what shall we do now? Shall we get a bad mark in English or shall we stay at home and call a doctor in? ‘We’re so seriously ill,’ we’ll tell him. 'Please, doctor, help us, we just can’t swallow ...’ ”

I couldn’t even look into my Mum’s eyes. How could she understand

everything? Perhaps when she was a little girl, she was also afraid of her school tests so much that something bad always happened to her health too ...

Test 2

I. Read the texts and match the titles.

Sunday.            Fireplaces.         Gardening.

1. English people like gardening. They talk about it in their offices, factories and at home. In the evening they work in their gardens, large and small, and they do it in any weather. They grow flowers, vegetables and fruit there.

If you want to please an Englishman, be very polite about his garden. Perhaps, he will show you his garden and tell you about it. So you will listen to it and say, “How nice!” or “How interesting!”

    2. In the past the English Sunday was a day of rest. Traditionally people did not write letters and read books on that day. They did not go to the concerts and did not do many other things. They stayed at home and had a rest together with the members of their family.

But today it is not so. Englishmen may write letters, read novels and play the piano. They visit picture galleries and go to concerts on Sundays. Cinemas are open on Sunday, but the theatres are closed.

People do not go to work on Sunday. Only a few small shops are open. Buses do not run so often as on weekdays.

3. In the English home a fireplace has always been the centre of interest in a room. People may like to sit at a window on a summer’s day, but for many months of the year they like to sit near the fire and watch its dance.

Many, many years ago the fireplaces in the halls of rich houses were very large. Later fireplaces become much smaller. Above the fireplace there is usually a shelf, on which there is often a clock and some photographs.

 II. Read the text again and write if the statements are “True”, “False”,

“Not stated”.

1. English people like fishing.

2. In the evening they read in their gardens.

3. They work in the gardens in any weather.

4. In the past English people travelled a lot.

5. Today they don`t visit galleries on Sundays.
