Question

1 Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:After lunch, without waiting to get permission from their parents, the two boys set off toexplore the part of the beach which lay beyond the headland. They persuaded their young sisterto stay behind, saying the long walk would be too tiring for her. Once they had passed beyondthe headland, the beach stretched away endlessly in front of them. It was like discerning a newworld. And what exciting things there were to do! There were damp, dark caves to explore, ineach of which they half expected to come across animals sleeping there; there wereinnumerable pools among the rocks, full of small fish and other sea-creatures; and, scatteredalong the beach, there were all those strange, yet commonplace objects which are washed upand left by the tide.The afternoon passed quickly and the sun was already beginning to go down when the two boysreluctantly decided to turn back and make their way homewards. Long before they reachedheadland, however, they could see that the tide had come in so far that they were now cut offfrom the other part of the beach. They looked at each other in dismay. It was useless to go on,since clearly there was no way of getting beyond the headland. If, on the other hand they wentback the way they had just come, the tide would come in long before they reached the end ofthe beach. Their only chance of escape was to find a way up the cliff, which in some places wasnot very steep. At least they might be able to climb high enough to be out of reach of the waves,which were coming closer all the time.In less than ten minutes they found a narrow path which seemed to lead all the way to the clifftop. But their troubles were not yet over. Halfway up, the path was blocked by a large rock,which they could not climb over. The two boys at once began shouting at the top of theirvoices, hoping that someone walking along the cliff top might hear them. They were bothsurprised, however, when their father’s face appeared over the top of the rock. He told them notto move until he came back. In a short while he reappeared with two policemen, one of whomclimbed down a rope which was lowered over the rock. The two boys were then pulled up tosafety. At the top of the cliff they found their anxious mother and, with her, their young sister.She had told her parents where they had gone and thus saved them from spending a wet nighton the cliff.1a Say whether the following statements are true or false: 2a The boys knew the part of the beach which lay beyond the headland quite well.b The boy’s father climbed down to rescue them.1b Answer the following questions briefly, using your own words as far as possible.a How did the two boys spend their time on the beach? 2b Why did the two boys look at each other in dismay? 2c How did their parents know where to look for the two boys. 21c Complete the following sentences.
