CELPIP: Reading Part 4: Reading for Viewpoints

All 26 questions in this test

Every question and its answer choices. The correct answers and explanations appear when you take the test above.

1. When the provincial museum dropped its $22 admission fee for a one-year trial, attendance nearly doubled. Now the government must decide whether to make free entry permanent. Museum director Paul Arsenault is strongly in favour. He says the trial brought in many first-time visitors, especially families from lower-income neighbourhoods who had never been able to afford a visit. "A public museum belongs to everyone," he argues, "and a ticket price sends the message that it doesn't." Finance critics are less enthusiastic. Admission fees used to cover about a fifth of the museum's operating budget, and the trial was funded by a one-time grant. Taxpayer advocate Linda Moreau questions whether residents of distant towns, who rarely travel to the capital, should pay for a service they seldom use. Some suggest a middle path: free admission for residents one evening a week, with regular fees at other times. Arsenault dismisses the idea as "free entry for people who already have free evenings," noting that shift workers and parents of young children would be the least likely to benefit.

   Why does Paul Arsenault support free admission?

   1. He finds tickets hard to sell
   2. He believes the museum belongs to everyone
   3. He wants to cut the museum's staffing costs
   4. He expects more donations

2. After three years of letting staff work from home, the City of Brookfield has ordered its 2,000 municipal employees back to the office at least four days a week. Mayor Denise Okoro says the decision is about service and teamwork. She believes new employees in particular learn faster when they can watch experienced colleagues and ask quick questions in person. She also points to the downtown cafés and shops that lost business when office towers emptied. The employees' union strongly disagrees. Union president Raj Patel says productivity rose during the remote-work period and that many staff moved farther from downtown to afford housing. "For some members, four days in the office means four extra hours of commuting each day," he says. The union has filed a formal grievance. Workplace consultant Erin Walsh thinks both sides are partly right. In her experience, the most successful employers let each team decide which days it meets in person, based on the work it does. "A blanket rule is easy to announce," she says, "but it rarely fits every department."

   A reader writes: 'Ms. Walsh's approach seems far more ______ than one rule for everyone.' Which word best completes the comment?

   1. careless
   2. flexible
   3. rigid
   4. expensive

3. A growing number of parents are asking school boards to push back the start of the high-school day from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. or later. Their argument rests largely on sleep research. Teenagers' body clocks naturally shift later during adolescence, so many cannot fall asleep before 11 p.m. no matter how early they go to bed. Pediatrician Dr. Kofi Mensah says that forcing them up at 6:30 leaves many students chronically tired, which affects mood, attention and even driving safety. Not everyone is persuaded. Bus companies often use the same vehicles for elementary and secondary routes, so shifting one schedule affects the other. Some parents also rely on older children to walk younger siblings home, which becomes harder if high school ends later. And coaches warn that later dismissal would push practices and games into the evening. Principal Janet Liu, whose school tried a 9:15 start last year, says the results were mixed but encouraging. Attendance in first period improved noticeably, while complaints about after-school activities rose. "It's not a magic fix," she says, "but I wouldn't go back."

   Which statement best sums up Principal Liu's view of the later start?

   1. It failed and should end
   2. It helped despite some drawbacks
   3. It made no real difference
   4. It solved every problem

4. Few sounds signal autumn in the suburbs like the roar of a gas-powered leaf blower. Now several municipalities are debating whether to ban them. Supporters of a ban point to noise and pollution. Dr. Helen Fraser, an environmental health researcher, notes that small two-stroke engines burn fuel inefficiently and release far more pollution per hour than their size suggests. Residents who work night shifts also complain that the machines make daytime sleep impossible. Landscaping companies see the issue differently. Marco Bellini, who runs a twelve-person crew, says battery-powered models are improving but still struggle with wet leaves on large properties. "A ban would double the time each job takes," he says, "and customers would pay for that." He would prefer limits on the hours blowers can be used rather than an outright ban. City councillor Amira Shah has proposed a compromise: a ban on gas blowers starting in 2028, with a rebate program to help small businesses buy electric equipment before then. Critics on both sides say her plan goes either too far or not far enough, but it may be the only option that can win a majority on council.

   How does the writer appear to view Shah's compromise?

   1. As ignoring noise complaints
   2. As possibly the most realistic option
   3. As clearly far too strict
   4. As certain to fail on council

Attendance in first period improved noticeably, while complaints about after-school activities rose. "It's not a magic fix," she says, "but I wouldn't go back."

   According to Dr. Mensah, why are many teenagers tired in the morning?

   1. They skip breakfast too often
   2. Their body clocks shift later
   3. They play sports every night
   4. They do too much homework

"A blanket rule is easy to announce," she says, "but it rarely fits every department."

   What approach does Erin Walsh recommend?

   1. Letting each team choose its office days
   2. Paying staff to commute
   3. Keeping all staff fully remote, as before
   4. Requiring five office days

7. Rental e-scooters arrived in Lakeport two summers ago as a pilot project. City council must now decide whether to keep them. Fans of the program, many of them university students, say the scooters fill a gap in the transit system. Bus routes in the east end run only every 30 minutes, and a scooter can cover the two kilometres to the nearest rapid-transit station in under ten minutes. The operator reports more than 400,000 trips last year. Opponents focus on safety and clutter. A seniors' advocacy group says scooters left lying on sidewalks are a tripping hazard, especially for people with poor eyesight or those using walkers. Emergency room doctors have also reported a steady stream of injuries, most involving riders who were not wearing helmets. The operator has proposed changes: parking only in marked zones, enforced by fines charged to riders' accounts, and a lower speed limit of 15 km/h in the downtown core. Councillor Ben Tremblay says those changes are a good start, but he wants the city to track injuries for another year before signing a long-term contract.

   What concern does the seniors' advocacy group raise about scooters?

   1. Scooters on sidewalks can trip people
   2. Rentals are too expensive for most seniors
   3. Scooters are noisy at night
   4. Riders are too young

8. After three years of letting staff work from home, the City of Brookfield has ordered its 2,000 municipal employees back to the office at least four days a week.

"A blanket rule is easy to announce," she says, "but it rarely fits every department."

   Why does Raj Patel say the rule is especially hard on some workers?

   1. They prefer working alone
   2. They moved far from downtown
   3. They have no desks in the office
   4. They mostly work night shifts

9. Which reason does Mayor Okoro give for the new rule?

   1. Office rents have gone up
   2. New staff learn faster in person
   3. Productivity fell at home
   4. Employees asked to return

Arsenault dismisses the idea as "free entry for people who already have free evenings," noting that shift workers and parents of young children would be the least likely to benefit.

    Why does Arsenault reject the idea of one free evening a week?

    1. It would cost more than full free entry
    2. It would attract too many tourists
    3. It would miss people with busy evenings
    4. It would need extra security staff

11. Few sounds signal autumn in the suburbs like the roar of a gas-powered leaf blower. Now several municipalities are debating whether to ban them. Supporters of a ban point to noise and pollution.

Critics on both sides say her plan goes either too far or not far enough, but it may be the only option that can win a majority on council.

    How does Councillor Shah's proposal try to help landscaping businesses?

    1. It exempts large properties
    2. It delays the ban indefinitely for small firms
    3. It offers rebates for electric equipment
    4. It bans blowers only at night

Attendance in first period improved noticeably, while complaints about after-school activities rose. "It's not a magic fix," she says, "but I wouldn't go back."

    Why do bus schedules make a later high-school start difficult?

    1. Buses cost more in the morning
    2. Drivers refuse to work later hours
    3. Buses are shared with elementary routes
    4. There are too few bus stops

Critics on both sides say her plan goes either too far or not far enough, but it may be the only option that can win a majority on council.

    Why does Bellini think battery blowers are not good enough yet?

    1. They are already banned in some cities
    2. They are louder than gas blowers
    3. They struggle with wet leaves on big jobs
    4. They cost too much to recharge

Arsenault dismisses the idea as "free entry for people who already have free evenings," noting that shift workers and parents of young children would be the least likely to benefit.

    What is Linda Moreau's main objection to permanent free entry?

    1. Distant residents would pay for a rarely used service
    2. The ticket price should go above $22
    3. Free entry would cause overcrowding
    4. The collection is too small to justify it

    According to supporters, what transit gap do the scooters fill?

    1. Crowded rapid-transit trains
    2. A lack of downtown parking
    3. High taxi fares at night
    4. Infrequent buses in the east end
