Pre-IELTS Reading Test
Reading Passage 1: Factual Non-Academic
You should spend about 4 minutes on Questions 1–5, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.
The History of Tea
Tea is believed to have been discovered in China as early as 2737 BC, when Emperor Shen Nong accidentally dropped a tea leaf into a pot of boiling water. Over centuries, tea drinking spread across Asia and into the Western world, eventually becoming an integral part of British culture in the 17th century.
The introduction of tea into Britain resulted in new social customs. Tea became a symbol of sophistication and was often consumed in the afternoon alongside cakes and sandwiches. This tradition, known as afternoon tea, is still practiced today. Commercial tea cultivation expanded rapidly, especially in British colonies such as India and Sri Lanka, where vast plantations were established to meet the growing demand.
Reading Passage 2: Descriptive Scientific
You should spend about 4 minutes on Questions 6–7.
The Honeybee Navigation System
Honeybees are remarkable navigators. When searching for food, they use a combination of visual cues, the sun’s position, and even Earth’s magnetic field. One of the most fascinating behaviors is their use of the waggle dance, a figure-eight movement that communicates distance and direction to other bees in the hive.
Recent studies have found that bees can recognize landmarks and associate them with food sources.
Reading Passage 3: Opinion/Argumentative
You should spend about 4 minutes on Question 8.
Are Zoos Ethical?
Zoos have long been a topic of debate. Supporters claim they are essential for conservation and education, providing sanctuary for endangered species. Critics argue that captive animals experience stress and do not live naturally, regardless of how sophisticated their enclosures may be. Some believe that animals should not be kept in confinement at all.
