Reading

Parts 1-3 of the Test of Reading focus on your use of English, while Parts 4-6

Primarily test your reading skills. The texts used are extracts from authentic lawrelated

Source material, such as a legal textbook, a contract, a legal website, a law

Journal article or legal correspondence. Parts 1-3 carry 1 mark for each correct

Answer, and Parts 4-6 carry 2 marks for each correct answer.

Part 1

What you have to do

This part of the examination consists of two short texts which are not linked

thematically. Each text is a multiple-choice cloze: there are six gaps, and your task

Is to choose the correct option from the four available to fill each gap. An example

Is given at the beginning.

What is being tested

The task tests your ability to distinguish between similar words and to select words

Carefully. It also tests your knowledge of collocations, fixed phrases, phrasal verbs

And linking words and phrases.

Tips

U Skim the whole text to get an idea of its general meaning.

G The four multiple-choice options provided are all the same part of speech, so they may fit in

The gaps grammatically, but not make sense in the sentence. Always read the sentence

Carefully to check if an option fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

V Look carefully at the words preceding and following the gap, as they may serve as clues. You

May recognise words that collocate with the correct answer.

V If there are words you do not know in a sentence, try to get a general understanding of the

Sentence by thinking about its meaning in the context of the text. You may then be able to

Guess the meaning of the word you are looking for.

Questions 1-6

Read the extract from a legal opinion on page 219.

For each question 1-6, choose the best word to fill each gap from A, 8, C or D.

There is an example at the beginning (0).
