Passage – I
Like all visions, this one begins with a
dream. That dream is of a stressed education
system throughout India. That where there is
stress it is the exception, not arising out of the
system but out of some aberration or other. The
extension of that dream is that the children, thus
growing up free will feel better disposed to arrive
at the ultimate point of all living, the giving and
receiving of love without limits. That growing up
in such an atmosphere they become effortlessly
harbingers of peace to the world, which is what
it seems India used to be in Vedic times. But
whatever about the nation’s role in the world
tomorrow, what is needed is such relationships
as both arise out of and strengthen a deep sense
of meaning, of self­confidence, of focus, and above
all, of peace.
We want that, for our kids, their reach
should exceed t heir grasp, that the
accomplishment of goals be only challenges to
greater things, that sensing final arrival is either
an illusion or an indication that the dream was
itself originally petty. We want that they be open
to the impossible, the barely imaginable, the
almost magical.
1. How will the world be benefited by the loving
nature with which children will grow up and
communicate with others?
(A) Children growing up in such an

peace to the world
(B) They will spread love and lessen
differences
(C) They will be able to trigger off fast
progress and greater development
(D) A better bonding will be created between
individuals and the social environment
will be bettered

anomaly or other

and receiving love without restraint

 Passage – II
Have you ever heard a parrot or a pet talk?
Or perhaps you have seen the roadside astrologer
who has a couple of parrots in his cage, which, at
his command, picks out your fortune card from a
pile of cards. You may also have heard of pigeons
which, once acted as messengers.
All these make you ask the question : are
birds intelligent? Can they learn things?
Formerly the biologists thought that birds could
not learn anything, because their brains were
too small and too simple, compared to the
intricate nervous system and brain of higher
animals. They can act only by instinct, following
certain fixed behavioural patterns. Recent
studies have shown that bird behaviour is a
combination of instinctive or fixed behaviour and
learned or flexible behaviour.
6. The given passage deals with
(A) bird behaviour
(B) the learning capacity of birds/pets
(C) the roadside astrologer
(D) the use of instinct and command by birds
7. The writer evidently
(A) believes that birds are intelligent by birth
(B) suggests that birds can learn by practice
(C) negates the capacity of birds
(D) likes to experiment with pets
8. Formerly the biologists thought birds could
not learn anything because
(A) they blindly follow their instinct
(B) they are only interested in eating
(C) they do not have an intricate nervous
system
(D) None of the above
9. Recent studies have shown that birds
behave in a particular/peculiar way
because
(A) of training and hard­work
(B) they have such unborn qualities
(C) they listen to the command of their
instinct
(D) of their instinctive or fixed behaviour
and learned flexible behaviour
10. What can be the most suitable title to the
passage?
(A) Birds and other pets
(B) Birds their instinct and behaviour
(C) How to train birds?
(D) The brain of birds

Passage – III
On the day of the Christmas concert the
entire orchestra entered the gymnasium where
a large throng of pupils and parents were
gathered. The school choir had gathered on the
balcony with candles and the orchestra began
“Silent Night”. Slowly the lights dimmed, leaving
us in darkness except for the hundred
glimmering candles held by the choir as they
softly sang the carol. Slowly, and just as
dramatically, the orchestra began to falter—in
direct proportion to the dimming of the lights,
when the lights faded out completely, so did the
orchestra, because no one could read his music.
Except for me, for my music was in my head. From
a corner of the stage, the sound of my violin filled
the gymnasium. The choir and I went through
verse after verse. When it was all over, the ovation
was positively thunderous.
11. The narrator is
(A) a priest
(B) the leader of pupils
(C) an instrumentalist

dimmed?

(B) They could sing in candle light.
(C) There was some natural light at the
choir side.

appreciation by people.
(B) The audience joined the singers and
sang aloud.
(C) The audience made circles and danced
in ecstasy.
(D) The audience made a noise resembling

he could get light.

Passage – IV
Patriotism is easy enough during war. For
one thing, people become actively conscious of
their country when it is threatened. For another,
since everyone or nearly everyone feels it, there
is a strong collective emotion flowing through the
country. But when the war is over, the country
recedes from the consciousness, and it is rarely
even at the back of the mind. The question, “Am
I doing any good to the country?” doesn’t occur to
the mind; and even the question, ‘Is what I am
doing good or bad for the country?” occurs only
rarely. A limited patriotism is better than none,
but it is not enough.
16. The author says that one reason why
patriotism is easy during war­time is that
(A) war is the only factor responsible for
arousing patriotism.
(B) when the country is in danger, we
become conscious of it.
(C) we become patriotic when we are in a
fighting mood.
(D) patriotism is always in the consciousness.
17. Another reason suggested by the author for
the emergence of patriotic feeling during
war­time is that
(A) patriotism is specially required during
war­time.
(B) we become deeply conscious of danger
to ourselves during war­time.
(C) patriotism becomes contagious because
one finds a lot of other people feeling
patriotism.
(D) every one feels that he/she should
strive to protect the others.
18. When the threat of war is over,
21. According to this passage, the two factors
(A) there is no need for people to be
interested in others’ welfare.
(B) people do not consider it necessary to
serve the country.
(C) people tend to become totally unmindful
of national interests.
(D) people are generally anxious to serve
the country.

19. When the author says that the country
“recedes from the consciousness”, he
means to say that
(A) people no longer feel that they belong
to the country.
(B) people do not have the country clearly
in the forefront of their mind.
(C) people are not capable of understanding
what is good and desirable for them.
(D) the moral values which they have so
far upheld would disappear from their
minds.
20. By a “limited patriotism”, the author refers to
(A) the people’s attitude of indifference to
the welfare of their country
(B) the attitude of people who love other
countries as much as they love their
own country
(C) those who are self­centered and mainly
concerned about their own welfare
(D) the attit ude of people who are
indifferent to the welfare of their
country except during war­time
Passage – V
When you buy a car, examine carefully the
important feat ures of the model you are
considering. Many a buyer of the latest models
has got into trouble by buying a car too broad or
too long for his garage. Furthermore, a long car
is much harder to manoeuvre in traffic and
much more difficult to park. Another feature is
the comfort afforded. Are the seats nice and
durably upholstered? Is there enough glass area
to give the driver a good view in all directions,
particularly to the rear? It should be remembered
that the heavier and more powerful a car is, the
more expensive it will be to operate. High
powered motors require expensive high­ octane
petrol. The greater weight means greater tyre
wear and enlarged brakes. The old cliche is still
true; it is not initial cost but the upkeep which
matters!
that the buyer of a new car should keep in
mind are
(A) Its price and size
(B) Its model and upholstery
(C) Its size and the comfort it offers
(D) Its upholstery and glass area

area so that the driver can
(A) enjoy the scene outside while driving
(B) have a good view of the rear
(C) roll down the glasspanes to get enough

pride

because it.

(A) price
