Find the right word before counting it
- Outcome: complete a sentence with passage evidence that preserves meaning, grammatical form and the stated word or number limit. Start with Reading orientation and the matching overview. A word can fit the gap grammatically while naming the wrong object, time or result.
- Here you type an answer rather than select a supplied ending. Read each local instruction: most tasks ask for passage words; the numeric tasks explicitly accept digits or number words. These original mini-passages are focused practice, not a complete Reading paper or an IELTS band prediction.
Worked source and grammar: copy the plural the sentence needs
- Original passage: “At closing time, staff put the spare keys in labelled drawers.” Sentence: “The spare keys were put in labelled ____.” Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE. Answer: drawers. It names the container, is copied from the passage and fits the supplied sentence.
- Drawer changes the source form and does not fit in labelled drawer without rewriting the sentence. Cabinets may suggest a similar object but is not the passage word. Labelled drawers repeats a supplied word and uses two words. Locate evidence, read the full sentence, then count what you enter. A word limit is a small bag; packing an extra adjective does not make it bigger.
Worked length: a maximum does not demand every allowed word
- Original passage: “The original plans remained in a dry cabinet.” Sentence: “The original plans were kept in a ____.” Instruction: NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS FROM THE PASSAGE. Cabinet and dry cabinet both identify the location accurately and fit the sentence. One word is allowed under a two-word maximum.
- A dry cabinet enters three words and repeats the article already outside the gap. A modifier may be necessary in another question to distinguish two objects, but it is not automatically required here. Check the completed meaning rather than forcing either the shortest or longest possible phrase in every task.
Worked number: keep the count attached to its noun
- Original passage: “The team selected thirty samples. Three assistants recorded the measurements.” Sentence: “The team selected ____ samples.” In this local number task, 30 or thirty is accepted. Three counts assistants rather than samples; a plausible number is not enough.
- The noun samples is already supplied after the gap. Follow the exact direction rather than adding it again. A correctly hyphenated word counts as one word under the official Reading guidance; splitting solar-powered into solar powered changes that count. Do not invent hyphens just to squeeze an overlong answer into a limit.
Guided practice: evidence, sentence, instruction
- The next ten typed-answer tasks include a reading cue. Identify the requested object, action, time or condition; copy the word or phrase; read it in the supplied sentence; then check the limit. Keep before/after and measured/unmeasured distinctions attached to the right evidence.
- If an answer is rejected, check source wording, plural or verb form, an already supplied word and the local direction. The checker compares a small set of authored answers, not every possible English sentence. These tasks include shorter/full alternatives where both work; their feedback names those alternatives rather than hiding them.
Original passage: The volunteers put photographs in the large boxes. Negatives were kept separately in envelopes.
Complete the sentence: The large boxes contained ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Match the object to its container before copying.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Photographs is the copied plural noun naming what the boxes contain. Negatives belong to envelopes. Photograph changes the source form; the photographs adds a second word and breaks the one-word limit.
Original passage: The original drawings stayed in a dry cabinet. Visitors consulted digital copies at the reading desk.
Complete the sentence: The original drawings were kept in a ____.
Instruction: NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Check the shortest accurate noun phrase as well as the fuller one.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Cabinet and dry cabinet both fit the sentence and the two-word maximum. A dry cabinet would duplicate the supplied article and use three words. Desk is where copies were consulted, not where originals stayed.
Original passage: The technician selected eighteen samples for the trial. Four assistants recorded the results.
Complete the sentence: The trial used ____ samples.
Instruction: WRITE A NUMBER. Digits or number words are accepted in this local task.
Reading cue: Keep the number attached to the right noun.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Eighteen/18 counts samples; four counts assistants. The noun samples is already supplied after the gap, so do not copy it again.
Original passage: The garden path used solar-powered lamps. The indoor display used lights connected to the building supply.
Complete the sentence: The path was lit by ____ lamps.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Preserve a correctly hyphenated word rather than splitting it.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Solar-powered is one correctly hyphenated word from the passage. Solar powered separates it into two words and does not meet this one-word direction. The building supply concerns the indoor display.
Original passage: The technician inspected the tools before visitors arrived. After the session, volunteers cleaned them.
Complete the sentence: The tools were ____ before the visitors arrived.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Check both the time and the verb form already supplied by the source.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Inspected is the passage word for the earlier check and also fits the passive gap. Cleaned names the later action; inspect would change the copied form and fail after were.
Original passage: The exhibition moved from the chapel to the hall when repairs began. Its catalogue remained available in the library.
Complete the sentence: After the move, the exhibition was in the ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Follow the move rather than copying the first place name.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Hall is the new exhibition location. Chapel is the earlier one, and library concerns the catalogue. The qualifier after identifies the required stage.
Original passage: The report described plant growth during summer. It withheld conclusions about winter because no winter measurements were taken.
Complete the sentence: The report’s measured growth results concerned ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Separate observed conditions from a stated limit.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Summer is the observed season. Winter is explicitly unmeasured, so mentioning it nearby does not make it the answer to the sentence about measured results.
Original passage: Borrowers had to wear gloves while handling the equipment. Aprons were available but optional.
Complete the sentence: Borrowers were required to wear ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Distinguish a requirement from an optional item.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Gloves is the compulsory item. Aprons are optional, and glove changes the copied plural. Read the condition rather than selecting either item of clothing.
Original passage: The old labels identified each object’s place of discovery. The new labels added the date as well.
Complete the sentence: The new labels also gave the ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Identify the addition rather than any label detail.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Date is the added information. Place was already present. Dates changes the source form rather than copying the requested word.
Original passage: The trial recorded queue length and waiting time. It did not measure visitor satisfaction.
Complete the sentence: The trial did not assess visitor ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
Reading cue: Keep the negative statement attached to the unmeasured outcome.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Satisfaction is the unmeasured outcome. Queue length and waiting time are recorded, not excluded; visitor is already supplied and must not be repeated.
Independent gaps: twenty fresh mini-passages
- Each question supplies a different original mini-passage and no reading cue. Type before checking. Some gaps need one copied word; others permit a fuller phrase or a number. A nearby synonym, earlier location or count of a different group may fit the topic but fail the question.
- These short tasks do not measure all the navigation and timing demands of a full Reading paper. Spread the unit across sessions if helpful and choose your saved position deliberately on return. Recalling an old answer is not evidence for a new passage.
Original passage: The flat maps lay in shallow drawers. Rolled posters stood in tall tubes beside the catalogue desk.
Complete the sentence: The maps were stored in shallow ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Drawers is the copied plural noun. Tubes hold posters, while drawer changes the form and would need a different grammatical frame.
Original passage: Each disputed name was checked against the original photographs. The typed index was used only to locate the relevant page.
Complete the sentence: The team verified doubtful names using the original ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Photographs provide the verification evidence. Index locates a page but is not the original evidence used to check the names.
Original passage: Visitors reached the island across a small footbridge. A ferry was used only to carry heavy equipment.
Complete the sentence: Visitors crossed to the island on a ____.
Instruction: NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Footbridge and small footbridge both identify the visitor crossing and fit the maximum. Ferry concerns equipment; a small footbridge repeats the article and exceeds two words.
Original passage: The observers began at midday and stopped at sunset. They stored the completed sheets indoors after dark.
Complete the sentence: The observation period ended at ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Sunset ends the observations. Midday is the start; indoors describes later storage rather than the time the observation ended.
Original passage: Water passed through a filter before entering the storage tank. A pump then moved it to the display channel.
Complete the sentence: Before reaching the tank, the water went through a ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Filter precedes the tank. The pump acts after storage, and the channel is the later destination rather than the prior component.
Original passage: The original plaque was cast in bronze. The replica used in school visits was made from resin and labelled as a copy.
Complete the sentence: The school-visit replica was made of ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Resin belongs to the replica. Bronze is the original material; both materials are stated, so the version named in the gap matters.
Original passage: Six trees were selected from eighteen plots. The team measured each selected tree twice during the month.
Complete the sentence: The team selected ____ trees.
Instruction: WRITE A NUMBER. Digits or number words are accepted in this local task.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Six/6 counts trees. Eighteen counts plots and twice is a measurement frequency, neither the requested count.
Original passage: The old doors were retained, but their damaged hinges were replaced. New handles were considered but not ordered.
Complete the sentence: The repair replaced the damaged ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Hinges are the replaced parts. Doors remain and new handles are only considered. Hinge changes the copied plural form.
Original passage: The upper path opens only in dry weather. A lower loop remains available when rain makes the upper surface unsafe.
Complete the sentence: The upper path is available only in ____ weather.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Dry is the copied condition for upper-path access. Rain relates to the alternative route; weather is already supplied after the gap.
Original passage: Thirty visitors received the form, and twenty completed it. Ten staff members helped distribute the forms but were not respondents.
Complete the sentence: ____ visitors completed the form.
Instruction: WRITE A NUMBER. Digits or number words are accepted in this local task.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Twenty/20 counts completed responses. Thirty counts recipients and ten counts staff; the requested action is completed, not received or distributed.
Original passage: The public entrance is on the east side of the courtyard. Deliveries use the western gate.
Complete the sentence: Visitors enter from the ____ side.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
East identifies the public entrance. Western belongs to the delivery gate rather than the visitors’ entrance.
Original passage: The museum improved lighting so labels could be read more easily. It did not change the labels’ wording or their location.
Complete the sentence: The museum changed the ____ around the labels.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Lighting is the changed feature. Wording and location remain unchanged, so nearby nouns are not interchangeable answers.
Original passage: A repair invoice showed that the panel had been replaced after a fire. A later catalogue repeated the earlier, incorrect identification of it as original.
Complete the sentence: Evidence of replacement came from a repair ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Invoice is the evidence source and repair is already supplied. Catalogue repeats the mistaken identification rather than establishing replacement.
Original passage: The quiet room requires advance booking. The discussion room allows visitors to take any unoccupied desk without a reservation.
Complete the sentence: Using the quiet room requires advance ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Booking is the direct phrase for the quiet room. Reservation also occurs in the passage and completes this sentence accurately, so it is accepted here too. The quiet room requires the arrangement; the discussion room does not.
Original passage: Staff moved the screen because glare from the window made its text difficult to read. The new position kept the same screen height.
Complete the sentence: The screen was moved to reduce window ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Glare is the stated problem. Height remains fixed; heat would be a plausible different problem but is not given in the passage.
Original passage: Visitors waited under the glass roof while the guide prepared the room. The garden remained closed during the heavy rain.
Complete the sentence: Before entering, visitors sheltered beneath the ____.
Instruction: NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Glass roof and roof both identify the shelter and fit the maximum. The glass roof adds an unnecessary third word because the sentence already supplies the. Garden was closed, not the waiting shelter.
Original passage: The portable display used battery-powered lights. A separate mains cable supplied the projector.
Complete the sentence: The display’s lights were ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Battery-powered is the copied hyphenated word. Battery powered uses two words; the mains cable supplies a different device.
Original passage: The rapid scan took forty seconds. Preparing the sheet beforehand took several minutes.
Complete the sentence: The scan’s duration was measured in ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Seconds is the unit for the scan itself. Minutes belongs to preparation, and second changes the source plural.
Original passage: The equipment must be returned on Friday. Borrowers collect it on Monday after the staff introduction.
Complete the sentence: The return day is ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Friday is the return day; Monday is collection. Case-insensitive local checking accepts friday too, but preserve normal capitalisation when writing a day name.
Original passage: The index trial measured how quickly readers found a page. Its report left accuracy untested because no transcription check was included.
Complete the sentence: The trial did not establish transcription ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Accuracy is explicitly untested. A quicker search concerns access time and cannot fill a sentence about the missing transcription assessment.
Transfer: follow a passage through three sentence gaps
- The archive-display passage has three gaps in information order: an earlier action, the originals’ location and the kind of names added to an index. For each gap, write ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE. The complete passage repeats for later review, but it remains one text, not three independent passages.
- Official sentence-completion answers follow the text’s information order. Use that to locate the next relevant evidence while still checking the sentence and direction. It does not mean copying the next available noun without reading, or applying this order rule to every other Reading task family.
Original passage — a school archive display
Before setting up the display, volunteers photographed the donated notebooks. They then stored the originals in a cabinet and used the photographs for the exhibition.
The team added place names to an index so visitors could locate relevant pages. The project did not verify every transcription, so doubtful words could still be reported.
For each gap, write ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE. The three sentences follow the passage’s information order. The complete passage repeats for later review; it is one shared text, not three independent passages.
Complete the sentence: Volunteers ____ the notebooks before the display was prepared.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Photographed is the earlier preparation action. The word fits the past-tense sentence and is copied directly, unlike photograph or an invented synonym.

The team added place names to an index so visitors could locate relevant pages. The project did not verify every transcription, so doubtful words could still be reported.
For each gap, write ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE. The three sentences follow the passage’s information order. The complete passage repeats for later review; it is one shared text, not three independent passages.
Complete the sentence: The original notebooks were stored in a ____.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Cabinet is the storage location for originals. Photographs are the exhibited copies, so preserve object and location.

Before setting up the display, volunteers photographed the donated notebooks. They then stored the originals in a cabinet and used the photographs for the exhibition.
The team added place names to an index so visitors could locate relevant pages. The project did not verify every transcription, so doubtful words could still be reported.
For each gap, write ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE. The three sentences follow the passage’s information order. The complete passage repeats for later review; it is one shared text, not three independent passages.
Complete the sentence: The index used ____ names to help visitors find pages.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Place is the missing word before the supplied names. Place names would repeat names and exceed the one-word instruction; transcription is the separate remaining uncertainty.
Repair a response that changes the source and exceeds the limit
- The private task asks you to repair storage containers under a one-word instruction. Explain the copied answer, why the synonym phrase fails and why a singular repair does not fit the supplied sentence. Draft before opening the model, then revise one exact issue.
- Other explanations can work, but the answer to this specific gap is constrained by its source, sentence and limit. Your draft stays in this page; copy it before leaving. The checklist records self-review rather than automatic correctness, proficiency or an IELTS score.
Original passage: Staff put the records in shallow boxes. Photographs were kept in separate folders.
Sentence: The records were placed in shallow ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
A reader answers “storage containers”. Write the correct copied answer and explain in two sentences why that response fails the direction and why “box” is not a valid repair here. Draft before comparing the model, then revise one evidence, grammar or limit issue. Your draft stays in this page; copy it before leaving.
For this gap, the supplied source and sentence determine boxes. Explanations can vary. Recording the checklist is self-review, not automatic correctness or an IELTS score.
Later review: a new action and a new time limit
- After a break, try the two fresh review passages without reopening the worked cases. Read each complete sentence with your answer, then explain which source detail settled the choice. Separate a spelling/form issue from choosing the wrong evidence; the next repair differs.
- Continue with short answers for question-word and count decisions, or matching sentence endings for selecting a supplied ending by meaning. Copying a passage word and choosing from an ending list require different response checks.
New original passage: The team sealed the envelopes before moving the boxes. A separate register listed the boxes’ new shelf positions.
Complete the sentence: Before the move, the envelopes were ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Sealed is the copied action before the move and fits were. Listed describes register information, not preparation of the envelopes.
New original passage: The report compared summer measurements only. The author withheld a conclusion about winter because no winter records survived.
Complete the sentence: The report’s comparison used measurements from ____.
Instruction: ONE WORD ONLY FROM THE PASSAGE.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
Summer is the observed comparison period. Winter is the missing season, not the period used in the reported comparison.
Preserve the evidence and the supplied sentence
- locate the right fact, keep the copied form, read the complete sentence and obey the local limit. Count only what you enter in the gap. Do not add words that are already printed outside it, and do not change a source word merely to make a guessed answer fit.
- Source checked on 19 October 2026: official IELTS Reading task guidance. All passages, questions and the completion map here are originally authored teaching. Completing this practice does not give an official test result.
Put the steps of the method from this lesson in order.

This is the order the recap gives: locate and read the evidence before you compare or check the answer.
In sentence completion, words already printed outside the gap count toward the word limit.
难度 1/5 · 今日首次完成可获 100 金币及少量额外奖励
False. Count only what you enter in the gap; do not repeat words that are already printed around it.
