This passage is taken from Split Second, by Daphne Du Maurier.

Mrs Ellis dies in a road accident. The passage is an account of her last day.

It was the first of the month, and as she ripped off the page of her daily calendar and
saw the bright clean 1 staring at her, it seemed to symbolise a new start to her day.
Mrs Ellis believed in a brisk walk in the afternoons, and the heath was so close to
hand, it was just as good as the country; and in the evenings she read, or sewed, or
5 wrote to Susan.
Life, if she thought deeply about it, which she did not because to think deeply made
her uncomfortable, was really built round Susan. Susan was nine years old, and her
only child.
Because of Wilfred's ill-health and, it must be confessed, his irritability, Susan had
10 been sent to boarding school at an early age. Mrs Ellis had passed many sleepless
nights before making this decision, but in the end, she knew it would be for Susan's
good. The child was healthy and high-spirited, and it was impossible to keep her quiet
and subdued in one room, with Wilfred fractious in another. It meant sending her
down to the kitchen with Grace, and that, Mrs Ellis decided, did not do.
15 Reluctantly, the school was chosen, some thirty miles away. Mrs Ellis left Susan, on
the opening day of her first term, in agony of mind, but constant telephone calls
between herself and the headmistress during the first week reassured her that Susan
had settled placidly to her new existence.
When her husband died, Mrs Ellis thought Susan would want to return home and go to
20 a day school, but to her surprise and disappointment the suggestion was received with
dismay, and even tears. "But I love my school," said the child; "We have such fun,
and I have lots of friends."
"You would make other friends at a day school," said her mother, "and think, we
would be together in the evenings."
25 "Yes," answered Susan doubtfully, "but what would we do?"
Mrs Ellis was hurt, but she did not permit Susan to see this.
"Perhaps you are right," she said. "You are contented and happy where you are.
Anyway, we shall always have the holidays.
The holidays were like brightly coloured beads on a frame and stood out with
30 significance in Mrs Ellis' engagement diary, throwing the weeks between into obscurity.
How leaden was February, in spite of its twenty-eight days; how blue and
interminable was March, for all that morning coffee at the Cosy Café, the choosing of
library books, the visit with friends to the local cinema, or sometimes, more dashing,
a matinee "in town."
35 Then April came, and danced its flowery way across the calendar. Easter, and
daffodils, and Susan with glowing cheeks whipped by a spring wind, hugging her once
again; honey for tea, scones baked by Grace, those afternoon walks across the heath,
sunny and gay because of the figure running on ahead. May was quiet, and June
 www.exampapersplus.co.uk 11+ The Henrietta Barnett School Stage 2 Test: English,
Practice Test 2, Page 3

pleasant because of wide-flung windows, and the snapdragons in the front garden;
40 June was leisurely.
Besides, there was the school play on Parents' Day, and Susan, with bright eyes,
surely much the best of the pixies, and although she did not speak, her actions were
so good.
July dragged until the twenty-fourth, and then the weeks spun themselves into a
45 sequence of glory until the last week in September. Susan at the sea... Susan on a
farm... Susan on Dartmoor... Susan just at home, licking an ice cream, leaning out of
a window.
She swims quite well for her age," thus casually, to a neighbour on the beach; "She
insists on going in, even when it's cold."
50 Bare scratched legs in sandals, summer frocks outgrown, a sun hat, faded, lying on
the floor. October did not bear thinking about... But, after all, there was always
plenty to do about the house. Forget November, and the rain, and the fogs that
turned white upon the heath. Draw the curtains, poke the fire, settle to something.
The Weekly Home Companion. Fashions for Young Folk. Not that pink, but the green
55 with the smocked top, and a wide sash would be just the thing for Susan at parties in
the Christmas holidays. December... Christmas...
This was the best; this was the height of home enjoyment. As soon as Mrs Ellis saw
the first small trees standing outside the florist and those orange boxes of dates in the
grocer
60 Susan would be home in three weeks now. Then the laughter and the chatter. The
nods between herself and Grace. The smiles of mystery. The furtiveness of wrappings.
"I could do with new covers," thought Mrs Ellis, "and curtains too, but they must wait.
Susan has grown so enormously the last few months. Her clothes are more important.
The child is tall for her age." Grace looked round the door. "Lunch is in," she said.
65 She sat down to guinea fowl and apple charlotte, and she wondered if they were
remembering to give Susan extra milk at school this term, and the Minidex tonic; the
matron was inclined to be forgetful.
Suddenly, for no reason, she laid her spoon down on the plate, swept with a wave of
such intense melancholy as to be almost unbearable. Her heart was heavy. Her throat
70 tightened. She could not continue her lunch. "Something is wrong with Susan," she
thought; "this is a warning that she wants me."
She rang for coffee and went into the drawing-room; drank her coffee, but the feeling
of uneasiness, of apprehension, did not leave her. At last she went to the telephone
and rang up the school. The secretary answered. Surprised, and a little impatient,
75 surely. Susan was perfectly all right. She had just eaten a good lunch. No, she had no
sign of a cold. No one was ill in the school. Did Mrs Ellis want to speak to Susan? The
child was outside with the others, playing, but could be called in if necessary.
"No," said Mrs Ellis, "it was just a foolish notion on my part that Susan might not be
well. I am so sorry to have bothered you. She hung up the receiver, and then went
80 to her bedroom to put on her outdoor clothes. A good walk would do her good.
 www.exampapersplus.co.uk 11+ The Henrietta Barnett School Stage 2 Test: English,
Practice Test 2, Page 4

She shut the front door behind her, and went down the steps, and into the road, and
turned left towards the heath. It was a dull, grey day. Mild for the time of year,
almost to oppression. Later, there would be fog, perhaps, rolling up from London the
way it did, in a great wall, stifling the clean air. It was not an inviting afternoon, and
85 she did not enjoy her walk. She kept wishing she was home again. Mrs Ellis quickened
her steps. The fairground by the Vale of Health looked sombre, the merry-go-round
shrouded in its winter wrappings of canvas, and two lean cats stalked each other in
and out of the palings.
Mrs Ellis came to the junction of two roads, and crossed to the opposite side; the
90 second road was her own, and her house the last one on the corner. As she did so she
saw the laundry van swinging down towards her, much too fast. She saw it swerve,
heard the screech of its brakes. She saw the look of surprise on the face of the
laundry boy.

Q12. D
gold:silver:bronze = 12:10:6
You know that 6 in the ratio represents 12 bronze medals (a dozen = 12).
Therefore, the ratio is expressed as half of the amount of medals won in each
category (gold, silver, bronze).
So, silver medals must be double 10 (i.e. 20) and Gold medals must be double
12 (i.e. 24).
24 + 20 + 12 = 56
Therefore, D is the correct answer.

Q13. B

Q15. C
In a regular polygon, the sum of an interior angle and its exterior angle
is 180°.
Therefore, an exterior angle of the polygon = 180° 150° = 30°
The sum of all its exterior angles of a regular polygon is 360°.
Therefore, number of sides = 360° ÷ exterior angle
360 ÷ 30 = 12 sides
Therefore, the answer is C.

The prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19,
It is not possible to make 11 or 13 from three different prime numbers.
19 = 11 + 5 + 3, but that is the only set that works.
23 = 11 + 7 + 5 and 23 = 13 + 7 + 3
Therefore, the answer is D.

Q17. E
Araya has trained 120 + 120 = 240 hours over the two years.
The ratio of the number of hours she trained last year to the number of hours
she trained this year is 2:1.
Number of hours trained last year = (240 ÷ 3) × 2 = 80 × 2 = 160 hours
Therefore, E is the correct answer.

Q18. B
An analogue clock shows the same every 12 hours.

Q20. B
Suppose that Harry and Mia meet x hours after Harry sets off at 11:00.
When they meet, Harry has travelled 25x miles because his average speed is
25 miles an hour.
Because Mia sets off 3 hours after Harry, when they meet, she has been
travelling for x 3 hours at an average speed of 35 miles an hour.
Therefore, she will have travelled 35(x 3) miles.
Harry and Mia start off 175 miles apart, so this is the total distance travelled
when they meet.

Harry and Mia meet 4 hours and 40 minutes after 11:00, which is 15:40.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Q24. D
If an adult crosses the river, there has to be a child on the other side to bring
the raft back, otherwise the adult has to bring the raft back and two journeys
have been wasted.
So the first journey must involve two of the children crossing, and one of them
bringing the raft back.
Then an adult can cross the river, and the child on the other bank can bring
the raft back.
Therefore, it has taken 4 journeys to get one adult across the river, with the
other adult and the two children in their original position.
With another 4 similar journeys, the second adult can cross the river.
This leaves the two children in their original position.
They can now cross the river in one journey.
Therefore, it takes 9 journeys to get everyone across the river and the correct
answer is D.

English Comprehension

Each response should take the form of a structured essay, with a proper
introduction, body and conclusion.
Each response must include quotations from the passage as evidence for each
point made.
The chosen quotations should be strong, relevant and not overly long.
Around 5 7 quotations are appropriate for a 15 mark answer.
Each of these quotes, with their respective paraphrased point and explanation
(using a PEE / PEA / PEEL / PETAL structure), is worth 2 3 marks.
The response should be written cohesively (ideas should be linked fluently) and in
an appropriate tone.
Marks will not be awarded if there are flaws evident in the essay, e.g. if the factual
or inferred details given by the passage have been misunderstood.
Accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar; the use of paragraphs; a variety of
vocabulary; and the correct use of vocabulary are all essential to gain full marks.

Question 1:

In English Literature, a semantic field or lexical field is the use of a group of words
referring to the same topic, such as the calendar months in our passage, to convey
the theme of the chapter in an abstract way.

Note that the start of the passage establishes the date as 1st December, the day
Mrs Ellis dies. The rest of the events are all in the past, until Grace the cook calls her
for lunch that afternoon.

This response needs a cohesive conclusion. However, it show good use of PEEL and
PETAL structure. Thanks you Student A for kindly sharing your work.

Question 2:

Pathetic fallacy is when the weather reflects the current mood of the character or
foreshadows the mood of the character.

Model Structure

The author, Daphne Du Maurier, skillfully takes us through the calendar and paints the
entirety of Mrs Ellis emotional life through the changing weather of the year.
[include quote]

The cold and windy winter months are the times when she is saddened as she is away
from Susan.
[include quote]

The warm, pleasant and sunny months are the ones she spends with Susan.
[include quote]

Christmas is colourful and festive. Mrs Ellis was eagerly looking forward to it, but the
fog was thick that afternoon.
[include quote]

The unpleasant December weather that afternoon foreshadows her death.

This extended pathetic fallacy and the semantic field of calendar months are Daphne
they captivate the readers minds and stay with them
long after they have read the chapter.

[Suggested addition:] The author skilfully takes us through the year and uses the

notice the weather coincidentally matches the school term times, and the author has
employed the months of the year semantic in this part of the passage to create a

Marking a composition is more subjective and less rigid than marking a

comprehension. However, in general, marks should be awarded for:

a focused response to the question, which fulfils the length requirement without
straying off topic
a clear structure with a beginning, a middle and an end, defined through the use
of paragraphs
use of interesting vocabulary and expressive adjectives and adverbs
correct use of punctuation, including dialogue (if appropriate), and the use of
sub-clauses
good spelling and handwriting.

Sample mark scheme

Punctuation and Spelling 6 marks

Vocabulary 6 marks
Structure and Story Development 15 marks
Presentation 3 marks

To gain full marks your response must demonstrate imagination and excellent
language skills, and your story or descriptions must make sense and be written in
correct English.
You will lose marks if you make a lot of errors with grammar, punctuation and
spelling, so be careful to avoid basic mistakes.
The mark scheme that follows illustrates how the 30 marks might be awarded.
If your response meets all the criteria for the first range of marks, move on to
the next, and so on. If it meets just one or two of the criteria for a range, it
will be at the bottom end of that range. If it meets all of the criteria, it will be
at the top of that range.
