Reading Passage 1
Questions 1–13
1 The correct answer is TRUE: 
The text says, ‘There are 56 hill figures scattered around 
England, with the vast majority on the chalk downlands of the country’s southern counties.’ The 
phrase ‘the vast majority of’ means the same as most, and ‘the country’s southern counties’ is 
one particular area of England. 
2 The correct answer is NOT GIVEN: 
The text says, ‘The figures include giants, horses, 
crosses and regimental badges.’ It does not say whether there are more figures in the shape of a 
horse than figures with other shapes.
3 The correct answer is TRUE: 
The text says, ‘The White Horse has recently been re-dated 
and shown to be even older than its previously assigned ancient pre-Roman Iron Age date.’ As 
the recent dating shows that the White Horse is even older than its previously assigned date, 
this means that people’s previous estimate of the White Horse’s age was incorrect.
