Vocabulary
The fastest mammal on land, the cheetah, can reach speeds of 60 or perhaps
even 70 miles (97 or 113 kilometres) an hour over short distances. However,
the cheetah usually chases its prey at only about half that speed. After a chase,
a cheetah needs half an hour to catch its breath before it can eat. Due to their size, strength and predatory skills, cheetahs are considered one of the 'big
cats'. Tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars and cougars are also part of this grouping.
The cheetah is hard to see because its spotted coat blends with the tall, dry
grass of the plains. Its excellent eyesight helps it find prey during the day. Once
the cheetah spots its prey it makes a lightning dash. It knocks its prey to the ground and then bites its throat. Cheetahs eat small to medium-sized animals,
such as hares, impalas, wildebeast calves and gazelles.
Cheetahs today are racing towards extinction. Loss of habitat and declining
numbers of their prey combine to threaten the future of these cats.

2. Which of the following animals is not considered to be in the same grouping as
the cheetah?
(A) Jaguar

(C) Gazelle
(D) Leopard

Solution
(300-325 words)
Read the story below and then answer the questions that follow.
The serpent succeeded in capturing an eagle. The serpent wrapped himself
around the eagle's neck. The eagle tried to use his beak and claws to struggle
to freedom, but nothing worked. He even lifted his wings to soar into the sky,
trying to shake off his enemy, but the serpent's hold only tightened.
Slowly, the eagle sank back to earth, gasping for breath.
A hunter witnessed the unequal combat. In pity for the noble eagle, he rushed
up and soon loosened the coiling serpent. The eagle was free at last.
The serpent was furious. He had no chance to bite the watchful hunter. Instead,
he struck at the drinking horn, hanging at the hunter's belt, and into it released the poison of his fangs.
The hunter now, unaware of what the serpent had done, continued on his way.
No sooner had the hunter gone a short distance than he became very thirsty
and stopped to fill his horn at a spring. As he was about to drink, there was a
sudden rush of great wings. Sweeping down, the eagle seized the poisoned horn from his saviour's hands and flew away to hide it where it would never be
found.
