Answers, Explanations & TipsAnswers
- Question = Pterosaurs were the first creatures to be able to fly by creating lift
Answer: F
Passage Information: “They were also the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—not just leaping or gliding, but flapping their wings to generate lift and travel through the air.”
Explanation: the word creatures refers to both animals and insects. The passage shows that animals (pterosaurs) could fly after insects. This means insects were first. Creating lift relates to “generating lift”.
The reading passage for this lesson was taken from the American Museum of Natural History. You can read the full information about pterosaurs on their website: AMNH pterosaurs.Some students have comments on “flapping wings”. You can read about insect flight on this page: WIKI Insect Flight or check directly with AMNH about their article.
2. Question = Pterosaurs were able to fly as high as modern aeroplanes.
Answer: NG
Passage Information: ” Some were as large as an F-16 fighter jet, and others as small as a paper aeroplane.”
Explanation: You can see that the passage does not give information about how high the dinosaurs could fly. No mention of height is given. The passage only mentions “F-16 fighter jet” – not a range of modern planes. This means the answer is Not Given.
3. Question = The shape and the size of pterosaurs varied over time.
Answer: T
Passage Information: “Over time, the earliest pterosaurs—relatively small flying reptiles with sturdy bodies and long tails—evolved into a broad variety of species. Some had long, slender jaws, elaborate head crests, or specialized teeth, and some were extraordinarily large.”
Explanation: You can see from the passage that at the beginning all pterosaurs were quite small. But then they changed and some of them grew to be very big. The word “evolved” indicated natural evolution which happens over a period of time and also the confirmation “over time”. The passage also mentioned the shape of the pterosaurs = “Some had long, slender jaws, elaborate head crests”. The word “some” means that some had this shape and others had a different shape.
Tips
The answer might not be in one sentence. Once you locate the information, read the sentences before and after to locate more information. You will often have to read 4 or 5 sentences in the passage in order to decide your answer.
You can see that I posted the passage information and explanation. You should do this when you practice full reading tests at home. After you finish the test, review each question and answer -write down the explanation for the answer so you can see your mistakes more clearly in order to learn and develop.

Hello Liz,
May I understand the word in the passage (flourish) is kind of trenosaur change Shap and size.
Thanks in advance.
Any one feel free to answer my question please.
The word flourish is not related to size or shape. It is about the numbers of pterosaurs: pterosaurs flourished = their numbers grew. It is essential that you learn new vocabulary by using a dictionary: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/flourish

Hello liz! Just want to ask, is it really necessary to memorize all vocabularies given in each topics?
Certainly not for reading. The topics are so diverse, it won’t help. But you can learn paraphrases instead which are given between questions and answers.
Wow!I got all correct .. thanks liz for the exercise..😃

Thanks Liz , your lessons are really informative.
Dear Elizabeth!
Thank you a lot for teaching me! You are doing a great work!
I think you’ve misprinted in Question 2, Explanation: “… information about how fly the dinosaurs could fly”. I suppose there should be “… how high …”. Am I right or wrong?
Wish you all the best and waiting for more new practice from you!

Hi Liz, where can I find the right answers for listening and reading for IELTS. Had my exams the 08/07 at basil paterson in Edinburgh. Many thanks
IELTS do not publish each test or the answers. They only publish four tests with answers each year – no more. This means that the majority of people will never know the answers to their test.
I got all correct,, Thank you for the exercise.
Thanks a million Liz
