Section A
READING [20]
A 1. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. 10
1. It went totally unnoticed, World Food Day on October 16. The day is meant to highlight the
plight of the hungry, the undernourished and the malnourished of the world. Particularly
the plight of children of the poor, among whom the girl child, as usual is the worst off. India
ranks high in the number of people unable to get the minimum calorie requirements of
each day.
2. True, we have some of the best software engineers in the world. True that we produce
enough food grains to feed all our people, if so much were not lost in transportation and
storage of food. But the real truth is that the number of people who go to bed hungry every
night is around 300 million.
3. The irony here is that the people who work to grow food are the ones who mainly go
hungry. With around 600 million people living in rural areas, around 400 million of them
depend on agriculture for sustenance and with the rural population increasing at around 15
million a year, the pressure on land and demand for food is outpacing supply year after
year.
4. The UN report released on the occasion of World Food Day gives details of what hunger
does to the individual, the family and society as a whole. It says:
5. “Women do not always have the same access to food as men, which not only affects their
health but also the future development and growth of their children. In the case of food
shortages, which is often the case in some families, men have preferential access to food.”
6. Without adequate nutrition, individuals, families, and societies face several adverse
consequences. Hunger debilitates people physically, physiologically and psychologically
and they get trapped in a vicious cycle of hunger- low productivity-poverty-hunger.
Laziness is said to be the reason for an individual’s low productivity. It is lethargy,
however, and not laziness that makes people unproductive. Lethargy is a combination of
factors such as low energy intake, undernourishment and behavioral adaptations to
conserve energy. These are the people who cannot be productive even if they try hard.
7. “Seven out of ten of the world’s poor are women and girls. Therefore, a focus on women is
essentially a focus on the poorest. There is strong evidence that empowering women is
the surest way to reduce poverty. In households facing continuous hunger, even babies in
mothers’ wombs, the newborn and young children do not receive the required nutrition.
This results in inadequate development of physical and mental capacities in the new
generation. A physically and mentally weak new generation is doomed to perpetuate the
hunger-poverty cycle. What maternal malnutrition can do to a child is devastating. It is a
 virtual guarantee of low birth weight, stunted growth, susceptibility to disease and quite
often intellectual impairment.”
1.1 Answer the following questions.

a. Why do we observe World Food Day? [2]

b. We produce enough food. Still a very large number of people go hungry. What are the
reasons? [2]
c. What is the definite way to reduce poverty? [1]
1.2 Complete the following statements. [3]
a. Intellectual deficiency in children is caused by _______________
b. Some people are not productive even is they try hard because ____________.
c. It is strange that the people who are responsible for _____________ go hungry.
1.3 Find words in the passage that mean the same as the following. [2]
a. Sufficient (para 6) ______________
b. Proof (para 7) ______________
c. Preserve (para 6) ______________
d. Continue/keep alive (para 7) ______________
A.2 Read the passage carefully.
Wolves have been persecuted for centuries. Human attitude will determine whether our top
predators can survive in the twenty-first century. Most people have lost their traditional knowledge
of how to cope with large carnivores and of how humans and predators can coexist. Local people
can actually benefit from working with carnivores. By promoting eco-tourism, a country’s tourist
industry can be extended. Understandably, there is concern about livestock casualties but
throughout history shepherds have effectively used traditional guarding methods with dogs, and
sheep and cattle have been protected by being put in pens at night.
Public awareness is needed to counteract the view of wolves as wicked, cunning and merciless.
This negative image is fuelled by popular mythology and children’s stories and is based more on
fear than on fact.
Wolves are actually social, timid animals that avoid contact with humans. Wolf attacks are
extremely rare but shedding their bloodthirsty reputation involves public education on many
levels. These include educational visits to their habitat, publicity in the international media and the
distribution of literature.
Tick the most appropriate answer. [5 marks]
1. In the present century, wolves
a. can survive well.
b. are being treated better than before.
c. are endangered.
2. The trouble is that
a. people have forgotten how to live with predators.
b. people have never known how to live with predators
c. people have always been worried about predators.
3. Our negative attitude to wolves is due to
a. The media highlighting them as predators.
b. The stories in which they are the bad characters.
c. Our great concern for our sheep and cattle.
4. We can change our mindset through
a. Getting our facts right about wolves.
 b. Reading stories about wolves as friendly and shy creatures.
c. The right kind of publicity about wolves.
5. This passage is about
a. Wolves
b. Conservation
c. Changing people’s attitude
A 3 Read the passage carefully.
Pirate movies returned in a big way with Johny Depp. He stars in Pirates of the Caribbean:
The curse of the Black Pearl and also in its sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
After 40 or more years, pirate movies are popular again.
But long before there were movies, there were other forms of entertainment, such as plays,
operas and books. In 1880, fans of comic opera fell in love with Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera, The
Pirates of Pezance. There years later, Robert Louis Stevenson published his wonderful
adventure, Treasure Island. That was soon followed by another novel, Kidnapped.
When films came along, so did pirate movies. Douglas Fairbanks was famous as a
swashbuckling hero because he starred in the silent movie, The Black Pirate. Later, Errol Flynn
acted in Captain Blood and Adventures of Captain Fabian.
Even the comic actors Bud Abbot and Lou Costello got into the act with Abbot and Costello Meet
Captain Kidd, and in 1958 Yul Brynner played in The Buccaneer. But during the 1960s there were
fewer and fewer pirate films- until Johny Depp made them popular again.
