Un día como piloto: lectura A1 de inglés — con respuestas

Exercise 1: Reading Comprehension

1. 1. What time does Captain Mara wake up?

   • A. At five o'clock ✓
   • B. At seven o'clock
   • C. At nine o'clock
   • D. At six o'clock

   Respuesta: At five o'clock

   Correct. Paragraph 1 says 'It is five o'clock in the morning' and Captain Mara 'is awake'. Seven o'clock is when the plane takes off, and nine o'clock is when it lands — neither is when she wakes up.

2. 2. Where does Mara fly today?

   • A. From Rome to London
   • B. From London to Rome ✓
   • C. From London to Paris
   • D. From Paris to Rome

   Respuesta: From London to Rome

   Correct. Paragraph 1 says she 'flies a plane from London to Rome'. The other options reverse the two cities or add Paris, which the passage never mentions.

3. 3. What does Mara do first at the airport?

   • A. She talks to her team
   • B. She drinks coffee
   • C. She checks the weather ✓
   • D. She watches the computers

   Respuesta: She checks the weather

   Correct. Paragraph 2 says 'First, she checks the weather. Then she talks to her team.' Checking the weather happens before she talks to her team, so it is the first thing she does.

4. 4. How many people are on the plane?

   • A. 118 people
   • B. 80 people
   • C. 200 people
   • D. 180 people ✓

   Respuesta: 180 people

   Correct. Paragraph 2 says 'The plane carries 180 people'. The passage uses this number to explain why safety is so important on the flight; 118 is a similar-looking distractor.

5. 5. How long is the flight?

   • A. Two hours ✓
   • B. Five hours
   • C. One hour
   • D. Nine hours

   Respuesta: Two hours

   Correct. Paragraph 3 says 'The flight is two hours long.' This matches the times in the story: the plane takes off at seven o'clock and lands at nine o'clock, which is two hours later.

6. 6. How does Mara feel about her job?

   • A. She thinks it is boring
   • B. She loves it but it is hard ✓
   • C. She wants a new job
   • D. She finds it easy

   Respuesta: She loves it but it is hard

   Correct. Paragraph 4 says 'She loves her job, but it is not easy. She works hard every day.' So she enjoys it even though it is difficult — the text never says it is easy or that she wants a different job.
