For each question, choose the correct answer.
Riding a Motorbike
Motorbikes are a very popular way to travel in many countries around the world. Because they are smaller than cars, they can move through traffic easily. However, riding a motorbike means you must learn how to balance on two (19)…………… . This is because you do not have a large vehicle around you to keep you safe.
When you travel on the (20)…………… , safety is the most important thing. Before you get on the bike, you have to put on a (21)…………… to protect your head. You should also wear strong clothes like boots and a thick jacket.
Motorbikes usually have a very big (22)…………… , which means they can go very (23)…………… . You must always watch the speed limit and be careful of other drivers. Many people love riding motorbikes because they feel free, but you must always (24)…………… care on every journey.
19 A wheels B circles C parts
20 A road B way C path
21 A hat B cap C helmet
22 A battery B engine C machine
23 A fast B quick C early
24 A make B do C take
Answer Key & Explanations
19 A (wheels): Semantically, a motorbike drives on "wheels". While they are round like "circles" and are "parts" of a bike, "two wheels" is the exact vocabulary used for bicycles and motorbikes.
20 A (road): "On the road" is the correct phrase to describe driving on public streets. "On the way" means you are currently traveling somewhere, and a "path" is usually for walking, not motorbikes.
21 C (helmet): Based on the broader context of the sentence ("to protect your head"), "helmet" is the only correct option. A "hat" or "cap" does not offer physical protection in an accident.
22 B (engine): "Engine" is the correct word for the part that gives power to a petrol-driven vehicle. "Machine" describes the whole motorbike, and "battery" does not naturally collocate with "very big" in this context.
23 A (fast): "Fast" correctly describes moving at a high speed. "Quick" usually describes something that takes a short time to finish, and "early" refers to time, not speed.
24 C (take): "Take care" is a fixed collocation meaning to be careful. In English, we do not say "make care" or "do care".

For each question, choose the correct answer.
Using a City Map App
Many people use maps when they travel to a new city. Today, it is very easy to look at a map on your (19)…………… . You do not need to carry a large paper map in your bag. Instead, you just open an app and look at the small (20)…………… . These digital tools are very good for (21)…………… interesting places like museums, hotels, and restaurants quickly.
When you walk through the busy (22)……………, the map shows you exactly where you are. It moves with you and tells you when to turn (23)…………… or right. It can even show you pictures of the buildings around you so you do not lose your (24)…………… . Using a map app makes traveling to new places simple and safe for everyone.
19 A clock B phone C radio
20 A screen B mirror C window
21 A making B opening C finding
22 A stations B streets C floors
23 A left B straight C back
24 A path B street C way
Answer Key & Explanations
19 B (phone): "On your phone" is a common prepositional collocation for using a smartphone device. A map app cannot be viewed on a regular clock or a radio.
20 A (screen): Modern electronic devices and apps are viewed on a "screen". You cannot open an application and see it on a mirror or a window.
21 C (finding): This requires broader context comprehension. The text describes using a map app to locate places, making "finding" the correct semantic choice. You do not "make" or "open" public city landmarks using a map.
22 B (streets): "Walk through the busy streets" is the correct semantic fit for an outdoor city navigation context. "Stations" and "floors" do not fit the continuous outdoor movement described in the paragraph.
23 A (left): "Turn left or right" is a standard directional phrase block. You do not say "turn straight", and "turn back or right" does not fit the phrase structure naturally.
24 C (way): "Lose your way" is a fixed English collocation that means to get lost. While "path" and "street" are related to travel, they do not form a valid collocation with "lose your...".

Questions 19-24
For each question, choose the correct answer.
Crossing the Street Safely
Crossing the street can be dangerous, so it is important to learn how to do it safely. When you walk to school or go out with friends, you must always pay attention to the (19)…………… .
Before you cross a busy road, you should find a safe place. The best place is a crossing with traffic (20)…………… . When you stand at the crossing, you have to wait. You must never cross when the little man is (21)…………… , because cars are still moving.
When it turns (22)…………… , you can start to cross. However, you should still check both ways. Keep (23)…………… left and right while you are (24)…………… to the other side. If you follow these simple rules, you will always stay safe on the roads.
19 A traffic B transport C journey
20 A lamps B lights C signs
21 A red B dark C bright
22 A green B clean C clear
23 A seeing B watching C looking
24 A walking B staying C resting
Answer Key & Explanations
19 A (traffic): This fits the semantic meaning of the sentence. You need to watch the cars on the road, which is called 'traffic'. 'Transport' is too general, and a 'journey' is a trip, not the vehicles themselves.
20 B (lights): This is a strong collocation. The machines that change color to control cars are always called 'traffic lights', never 'traffic lamps' or 'traffic signs'.
21 A (red): This fits the broader context of the text. On a pedestrian crossing, a 'red' man tells you that you must wait. 'Dark' and 'bright' just describe how much light there is.
22 A (green): This fits the phrase-level meaning of the crossing rules. The light turns 'green' to tell you it is safe to go. 'Clean' and 'clear' are the wrong adjectives to describe traffic signals.
23 C (looking): This is the correct verb for this phrase. We use 'look' when we turn our heads to see if a car is coming ('look left and right'). We do not 'watch' or 'see' in this direction-based phrase.
24 A (walking): This fits the physical action in the context. You are moving across the street on foot, so you are 'walking'. You cannot be 'staying' (not moving) or 'resting' (relaxing) while moving to the other side.
