SECTION I
(Reading Skills, Vocabulary and Grammar)
Q.1. (A) Read the following passage and do the given activities: [10 marks]
A1. True or False
State whether the following statements are true or false and rewrite them : (2)
(i) Principal Bhave was a Chemistry teacher.
(ii) Mashelkar wanted to become a scientist.
(iii) Principal Bhave wanted to demonstrate the law of gravity.
(iv) Mashelkars philosophy of life is If we focus, we can achieve anything.
My second great guru was Principal Bhave, about whom I made a mention earlier. He
taught us Physics. Because it was a poor school, I remember, it had to innovate to convey to
the young students the message of Science.
I still remember one of the interesting experiences when, on a Friday afternoon,
Principal Bhave took us out into the sun to demonstrate to us as to how to find the focal
length of a convex lens. He had a piece of paper here, a convex lens here and he moved it up
and down and there was a point when there was a sharp focus and a bright spot on the paper.
He showed the distance between paper and the lens and said that this distance was the focal
length. But then the paper started burning. For some reason, he then turned to me, and said,
Mashelkar, if you focus your energies like this, you can burn anything in the world.
My young friends, from this I got two lessons - first the philosophy of my life that if we
focus, we can achieve anything. And the second about the power of science. It was so
powerful. I thought to myself why dont I become a scientist. It left an indelible mark in my
mind.
By the way, if you think carefully about that story, it also tells you about the new
model for the society and for the nation. What is the experiment? You have the lens. And
what does the lens do? It takes the parallel rays of the sun and then lets them converge. And
what is the property of parallel lines? Parallel lines never meet. Parallel rays never meet but
the lens actually makes them meet. I call it convex lens leadership by the wayleadership
that brings people together.

(B) Read the following passage and do the given activities: [10 marks]
B1. Find out :
Name the following and rewrite: (2)
(i) Shades of mehendi:
(ii) Instant mehendi is provided by:
(iii) Designs of mehendi:
(iv) Henna gets importance in:
Henna comes in different shades, from reddish orange to brownish black. The Arabic
preference for a black tinge sees them heating the paste before using. A growing trend today is
the addition of artificial dyes and coloured stones along with the henna in order to match the
attire. This however, does not last long and cannot be considered as mehendi in its true sense.
Zardosi mehendi is the variation of this trend where in glue is first applied in desired patterns
and zari powder of different colours are carefully sprinkled. This lasts only as long as the glue
stays and can even be washed off in case of an error.
Cones are most popular means of application of mehendi. To suit those in hurry, ready-
made patterns and blocks are available for quick and easy application. Tattoos in interesting
shades are also available today, providing a means of instant mehendi. Besides the ease of
applying it on and taking off, tattoos also come in previously unseen oriental designs. In
addition to the usual paisleys, and creepers, dragons, scorpions and snakes adorn many an arm
or shoulder of the fashionably conscious.
The attractive hues left behind the deep green henna leaves, have a special significance
during marriages and festivals in many Eastern countries. The customs behind its usage adds to
its rich appeal. Through centuries, mehendi has managed to creatively retain its hold on people
from diverse cultures.

A1. Fill in the blanks by choosing the correct words from the passage and rewrite the
statements: (2)
(i) The butterfly had a _______ body and shrivelled _______.
(ii) Sometimes _______ are exactly what we need in our life.
(iii) He _______ the remaining bit of cocoon with a pair of scissors.
A man found a cocoon. One day a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the
butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it
seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and could
not go on farther. So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly
could now emerge from the cocoon easily. But something was odd. The butterfly had a
swollen body and shrivelled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he
expected that at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the
body, which would contract in time, neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of
its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting
cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the small opening of the
cocoon are natures way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it
is ready for flight as soon as it emerges from its cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives. If nature allowed us to go through all our life without any
obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Not only
that, we could never fly.

(i) I would try adding my shrill piping to the birds and insects music.
(ii) The leaves were still pink and tender.
(iii) The banyan tree was like an orchestra pit.
(iv) Red headed parakeets swarmed about early in the mornings.
The banyan tree was a world in itself, populated with small beast and large insects.
While the leaves were still pink and tender, they would be visited by the delicate map
butterfly, who committed, her eggs to their care. The honey on the leavesan edible smear
also attracted the little striped squirrels, who soon grew used to my presence in the tree and
became quite bold, accepting peanuts from my hand. Red-headed parakeets swarmed about
early in the mornings.
At the height of the monsoon, the banyan was like an orchestra pit with the musicians
constantly turning up. Birds, insects and squirrels expressed their joy at the termination of the
hot weather and the cool quenching relief of the monsoon. A toy flute in my hands, I would
try adding to my shrill piping to theirs. But they thought poorly of my musical ability, for,
whenever I piped, the birds and the insects maintained a pained and puzzled silence.
The branches were thick with scarlet figs. These berries were not fit for human
consumption, but the many birds that gathered in the tree-gossipy rosy pastors, quarrelsome
mynas, cheerful bulbuls and coppersmiths, and sometimes a raucous, bullying crow-feasted
on them. And when night fell, and the birds rested, the dark flying foxes flapped heavily
about the tree, chewing and munching as they clambered over the branches.

Column A Column B
(i) Rex (a) bowling
(ii) Akhil (b) batting
(c) fielding
The feeling was particularly strong late one summer evening when we were playing
cricket. It was my turn to field. Our dog, Rex, loved fielding because it gave him a chance to
nose around in the undergrowth. Neel, the eldest, was batting. Akhil, the youngest, bowled a
cunning googly.
Thapak! Ball and bat made rude contact. The ball soared. Rex barked and raced after it.
We heard him crashing through the bushes. My brother went in for a drink break and I went
after the missing ball and the absconding fielder. I found the ball all right. It lay clearly visible
at the foot of a gnarled neem. How had Rex missed it? Slightly puzzled, I picked the ball and
called out his name. No sign of him. I whistled.
This time a faint whine pierced the stillness. This part of the garden was particularly wild.
Thick climbers covered the tress, hanging like green curtains from their branches, stepping
gingerly onto the wild hummocky grass, I went after Rex. Suddenly I saw him. Or rather, I saw
his wagging tail, the rest of him was hidden by a Zizyphus bush. There was someone else
behind that bush. Someone to whom Rex offered a friendly paw. He whimpered again but it
was a pleasurable sound as if that someone was scratching his ears for him.
A2. What did the writer see when she stepped onto the wild hummocky grass in search of Rex? (2)
A3. What qualities of Rex do you come across in this extract? (2)

Complete the web with words given in the passage:
Effects of Floods
During the devastating July 2005 floods that hit Mumbai, Rajen Dutia received an
urgent call from a relative, Lopa Vyas, late in the evening, A friends mother is stranded
near your home, Rajen. Can you please take her home? Her name is Rashmi, Vyas told him.
Mumbai had come to a halt and people were trapped everywhere. Despite power failure
and raging rain, Dutia stepped out and made his way to the spot, where he found Rashmi as
well as a dozen other people. They were stranded in the dark, shivering in the rain. They all
lived far away and had no place to go for the night.
Rajen took all of them to his one-bedroom flat, where he served them dinner and
invited them to spend the night.
By doing so, says Rajen, I was simply fulfilling my karma, paying the universe back
for the good it had done for me.
God is kind. My daughter had just started her new job that day, and had gone for her
training. She was stranded too. While she was trying to get to our relatives, she almost
drowned, but a young stranger saved her. He and his friends even dropped her to my
relatives place and phoned me to say she was safe. One good turn deserves another.

B1. Select (2)
Look at the balloons. Which are the qualities inculcated in the author by her teacher?
Write them.
Hard
work Regularity
Fairness
Kindness Justice
Tolerance
Qualities
Sister Monica, however, wasnt quite as lenient as that, and spent most of the time
telling me about the importance of regularity and hard work. She made me realise that success
is, like genius, 99 per cent perspiration and 1 per cent inspiration. Its a lesson that had stood
me in good stead.
The teachers Im most grateful to, though, are not those who have taught me the most,
but those who have simply been friends to me, believed me and believed in me. Prominent
among them is Sudha Ramasubramanium Rambo, as we used to call her. I didnt know her
too well. She taught me in college, and apart from being incredible in class unless one missed
class, she also believed that I actually had a problem when I developed an injury (which
several doctors found difficult to diagnose). Despite my missing an exam the HSC, of all
exams she was the only person who told me to concentrate on my health and assured me
that I could take the exam off the top of my head any time I wanted to.
Im not even certain she remembers it, but at the time, it felt like one of the only rays of
hope in an extremely dark tunnel. Perhaps few teachers realize how far their influence
extends or how much of a difference their actions and words can make. A number of my
teachers have unfortunately taught me kindness and tolerance and patience by being precisely
the opposite, and quite obviously, they arent the people I like to think about. But many of my
teachers have been extraordinary people, who have not only taught me in class but also
helped mould me and my character in every other way. I only hope that I live up to what their
endeavours were undoubtedly meant to create.

(i) What kind of teachers are disliked by the author? (1)

HSC exam.? (1)

(c) Syracusans (d) Athenians
(iv) Altis was the name of a/an:
(a) God (b) Race
(c) Festival (d) Enclosure
Olympia, the original site of Olympic Games in ancient Greece is situated in a quiet,
beautiful valley. The old ruins are shaded by evergreen oaks, pines and poplars, as well as
olive trees. Olympia was never a city but a sacred ground occupied by temples and dwellings
for the priests. At the centre was the enclosure known as Altis, dedicated to Zenus, the god of
gods. It was in honour of Zeus that the quadrennial festival and the games were held.
The fame of Olympia rests largely upon Olympic Games. They were a great national
festival of the entire Greek race. During the week of the festival the Athenians, the Spartans,
the Syracusans and other groups, all forgot their narrow identities. They regarded an Olympic
victory as the highest honour. The simple reward of a twig of wild olive immortalized the
victor and his family.
The Olympic Games were held regularly in peace and in war at an interval of four
years for over a thousand years from 776 B.C. till 393 A.D.
Originally, men who spoke Greek as their mother tongue were allowed to compete in
the Olympic Games. No married women were allowed to be present. The athletic programme
was varied by the presence of historians, orators and writers. After each event a herald
announced the victors name and handed him a palm. On the last day the successful
competitors were each given a garland of wild olive.
A2. Select
Select one word each from the circle which mean the following: (2)

(a) one step on the moon means, many steps on the earth.
(b) he felt like a giant on the moon.
(c) one moon mission had opened up many avenues in science and technology for
mankind.
It was late evening of July 20, 1969, when we turned up the hostel radio. I was an
engineering student at BITS, Pilani. I still remember the feverish excitement that gripped up
from July 16 when Apollo 11, the US space rocket, took off from Cape Kennedy, Florida.
Neil Armstrong and his team of astronauts, Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, were
to land on moon, for the first time in human history. We listened with rapt attention when
Armstrong declared: Thats one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
His death on Saturday, August 25, is a moment to salute the romance of space science
that Apollo 11 unleashed. It has changed forever the way we look at our planet Earth and its
satellite, the moon.
Standing on powdery moondust, Armstrong put up his thumb, shut one eye and found
his thumb blotting out the Earth. It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue,
was the Earth, he said later. I felt very, very small. But behind that humbling realization
stood a giant truth: The effort to explore the universe united mankind in technology and
knowledge. Each moon mission, about 110 till date, provided more confidence to take on
bolder projects.

A1. True or False (1)
State whether the following statements are true or false:
(i) The authors new house was situated at Bangalore.
(ii) The writer was delighted because their new house, was the biggest they ever lived.
One of the advantages of growing up in an Army household was the frequency with
which we move. Postings came with predictable regularity every three years. What was
unpredictable and therefore exciting was the suspense. Where would we go this time?
Ambala, Pune, Dehradun, Allahabad, Tejpur, Bangalore, Yo! In my short span of thirteen
years we had moved lock, stock and barrel eleven times!
Every move meant a change. New journeys, new places, new schools, my new books,
new uniforms, new friends and new houses. We lived in tents, bashas, Nissen huts, flats and
bungalows. No matter what the shape and size of the dwelling, mother soon put her own
special stamps on it and transformed it into a familiar place our home complete with
bright yellow curtains, coffee-brown carpet, assorted pictures, hanging ferns and potted
palms providing a comforting sense of continuity in our essentially nomadic life.
I was thirteen, the year we moved to the Cantonment at Allahabad. In stark contrast to
the razzle-dazzle of the citys commercial areas like Katra and Chowk, the cantonment was a
quiet, orderly place with broad tree-lined roads that still carried the names of long-dead
Britishers. Our bungalow was on a sleepy by-lane called MacPherson Road. When we first
saw it, my brothers and I were delighted. It was by far the biggest house we had ever lived in.
The task of furnishing those huge, echoing rooms daunted Mother.

(i) Gilson asked the writer to buy a tie of red colour with an initial G on it.
(ii) The writer could not buy the tie on Sunday because he had no time.
(iii) The driver refused to wait as parking was prohibited.
(iv) The writer promised to double the fare.
What Gilson asked me to buy was, in fact, a little thing : a tie. But not just any tie. He
wanted a tie with a small embroidered G. Any colour would do, as long as it had his initial.
Look, this is a special flight, I explained. We are only staying Saturday through Tuesday. On
the day we arrived I didnt have time to think about the tie, but strolling around on Sunday, I
did see ties bearing various letters in more than one shop window. They were cheap, just a
dollar, but all the shops were closed.
Frantic Search: On Monday, lunch lasted the whole afternoon. Then it was Tuesday
morning, time to leave. It was only when I saw our airport bus waiting outside the hotel that I
remembered the tie.
I told the group to go on. I would get a taxi to the airport. And so I went in search of a
nearby shop where I had seen ties.
But I couldnt find it. I walked further down the streetone, two, three blocksall in
vain. Back at the hotel, a bit anxious now, I took my suitcase, got a taxi and asked the driver
to rush to the street where I had seen them.
The driver stopped at each shop we passed so I could look from the taxi window. The
stores had all sorts of ties, but not the kind I was looking for.
When I finally thought I had located the right shop, I decided to go in and check. The
driver refused to wait. Parking was prohibited, he said. I promised to double the fare, jumped
out and ran into the shop. Was I going to miss the plane just for a damned tie?

(iv) One of the greatest gifts any teacher can give a student is to inculcate_______
In a way, one of the greatest gifts any teacher can give a student, I think, is to inculcate
a curiosity to learn.
Ive been incredibly lucky to have at least one such teacher at every stage in my life.
The first was Mrs. Rowlands who taught me in primary school. She taught me to read without
ever pushing me. She made me want to read more by giving me some of the most interesting
childrens books available. And although I still love to go back to those books from time to
time, it was only because of her that I was able to read Shakespeare by the time I was ten, and
Chaucer a year later.
In later years, it was Mr. A.N. Patil, my Marathi and Hindi teacher who made a huge
impression on me. Every lesson he took, was spiced with half a dozen or more anecdotes
from a wide variety of subjects : among them history, politics, religion and sociology. I was,
and still am in awe of his knowledge, which despite rather desperate attempts, I doubt Ill
ever be able to match.
There have also been other teachers who helped me to try to become independent : to
think and act for myself using my own judgement, which to my mind has been just as, if not
more important, than actually learning anything. After all, its much too easy to become a
completely useless repository of facts and little else.

Exercise makes you focus on your body, providing relief from difficult feelings and
thoughts. If you work out hard enough, it releases chemicals called endorphins, which may
act in the brain to help lift your mood.
If you havent taken exercise, start simply with a brisk half-hour walk at least three
times a week. Once in the habit of exercising, consider something more strenuous, such as
aerobic dance. Activities that you share with other people, such as tennis or team games, may
be preferable to solitary forms of exercise, such as swimming, which leaves your mind free to
dwell on negative thoughts. Vary the type of exercise you do, and dont choose something
you dont enjoy at all. Be careful not to overdo exercise, or you will merely feel exhaustion
instead of increased energy and improved well being.
BEFORE YOU JOIN A GYM

Patholes Keep Luxury Cars Indoors
(Newspaper Reporter)
There years after the city vroomed to global fame when it picked up 150 luxury cars in
a record bulk deal, the cars have largely gone missing from roads, parked as they are in the
safety of their owners garages. Fearing damage and dents to their dream drives, the owners
said they cannot risk them on the city potholed roads.
Many owners said they regretted their decision to buy these premium buys as the
pitiable condition of roads has ensured they cannot take their cars out for their commute to
work or simply a spin around town. A few owners have switched to their other not-so-so
premium cars in their fleet for their daily commute, while a couple of them have already sold
their high-end luxury cruisers. Some owners are negotiating an extended warranty period with
the auto giant.
As per the star agreement, the cars get a free service once a year or 15,000 kms, for
three years. They also get the standard warranty of a company that covers most of the cars
maintenance, but parts like tyres are not covered, like is the case with most auto brands.
A car owner said that he carefully picks the road he would drive his car on, even if it
means taking a longer route to reach the destination.

SECTION I
Q.1. (A) Read the following passage and complete the activities given below: [10 marks]
A1. Name the following:
With reference to the passage. (2)
(i) Two people who influenced Mashelkar ________.
(ii) The trust which granted scholarship to Mashelkar _______.
(iii) The Director of the Board of Tata Motors _______.
(iv) Principal Bhave demonstrated _______.
In fact, I remember, my passing the SSC Examination i.e. 11th standard. Those days it
used to be not 10 th standard or 12 th standard but 11th standard. I stood 11th among 1,35,000 but I
was about to leave higher education and find a job. What helped me was the scholarship by Sir
Dorab Tata Trust. It was just 60 rupees per month and would you believe that 60 rupees per
month from Tatas added so much value to my life that I have been able to stand here today
before you to speak to you.
I am on the Board of Tatas now and it is very interesting that the same Bombay House
where I used to go to collect that 60 rupees per month now one goes and sits there as a Director
on the Board of Tata Motors. The turn that these 40 years has taken is very interesting. It has all
been possible because of the chance I got to do higher studies at the insistence of my mother.
She gave me values of my life. She was one of the noblest parents I have met in my life.
So, my greatest guru was my mother. My second great guru was Principal Bhave, about
whom I made a mention earlier. He taught us Physics. Because it was a poor school, I
remember, it had to innovate to convey to the young students the message of Science.
I still remember one of the interesting experiences when, on a Friday afternoon, Principal
Bhave took us out into the sun to demonstrate to us as to how to find the focal length of a
convex lens. He had a piece of paper here, a convex lens here and he moved it up and down and
there was a point when there was a sharp focus and a bright spot on the paper. He showed the
distance between paper and the lens and said that this distance was the focal length. But then
the paper started burning. For some reason, he then turned to me, and said, Mashelkar, if you
focus your energies like this, you can burn anything in the world.
A2. Supply
the information from the passage. (2)
(i) Mashelkar could continue his studies because ________.
(ii) The teaching of Principal Bhaves experiment was ________.

B1. Complete the table
A few facts about the Mehendi rituals during marriage ceremonies are given below:
Write them into appropriate columns: (2)
(i) Simple family affair.
(ii) Song and dance performance accompanied with lavish food and entertainment.
(iii) Creative family members, apply mehendi to the bride.
(iv) Beauticians are appointed to apply mehendi to the bride.
Fill in the table as:
Yesteryears Present times
(i) (i)
(ii) (ii)
Mehendi enjoys special attention during wedding. In India, the day before the wedding is
devoted exclusively for the elaborate ritual of applying mehendi on the hands and feet of the
bride. This practice is followed in Arab countries as well, except that it is held few days prior to
the wedding day. Songs woven around the healing properties and lucky omens associated with
mehendi, are sung by the brides family and friends. An age-old belief handed down to
generations lays great emphasis on the colour of the brides mehendia darker colour suggests
bountiful love and affection from the future in-laws and husband, and for this reason brides take
pain to ensure that only the best quality henna is used for her wedding day.
The ritual of adorning the bride with henna is a sacred one and in some communities require
the initiation by the mother-in-law. A popular game during marriage function is the search for their
names, by the bride and groom hidden within the elaborate pattern on the brides hands.
In certain parts of India, the bridegroom too has his hands decorated with henna. The
mehendi function during marriages has evolved from simple family affairs of yesteryears to
elaborate events of today. Lavish spread of food and entertainment in the form of song and
dance performances have transformed it from a small function to a gala prelude. In earlier days,
the task of applying mehendi on the bride was the sole prerogative of creative family members.
The demand for intricate and different style now, sees this job outsourced to beauticians skilled
in this art. Beauty salons charge according to the style and complexity of pattern desired by the
clients.

A1. Find out:
Find from the passage the related words to sea and write them. (2)
ON FIERCE monsoon nights, about one and a quarter mile off the Mumbai harbour,
there have been occasions when 52-year-old Bikaji Ramchandra Dhuri is the only man on sea.
From the watchtower of the Prongs Reef Lighthouse, which is surrounded on all sides by the
Arabian Sea, he has heard the sea rage like a possessed spirit the darkness dispelled only by
the beam of light flung across the waters from the tower he mans.
Dhuri is one of the last breed of lighthouse keepers on the Indian coast, as a majority of
the 182 lighthouses in the country are now unmanned. Built in 1871, the Prongs Reef
lighthouse was modelled on Scotlands Skerryvore Rocks Lighthouse, and is located at a
strategic spot on the western coast, marking the entrance to the busy Mumbai Harbour. It was
meant to stem the number of shipwrecks off the harbour, which the lone Colaba lighthouse
could not illumine on its own. Even now, during nights, for fishing vessels without any
gadgets, its the soft light from this tower which directs us to Mumbai, says Vinayak Koli, a
boatsman who helps ferry people and also goes on fishing expeditions.
Through the year, Dhuri lives in the lighthouse for 15 days at a stretch, when he is
relieved by another keeper. In the monsoon, it becomes his home for three months. We call it
the kalapani as we are alone in the middle of the sea for days, with basic supplies and the
revolving light that keeps the sea awake, he says.
A2. Fill in the following information using words from the passage: (2)
(i) The Prongs Reef lighthouse was modelled on _______.
(ii) Dhuri lives in the lighthouse for _______ at a stretch.
(iii) _______ is one of the last breed of lighthouse keepers on Indian coast.
(iv) The majority of the _______ lighthouses in the country are now unmanned.
A3. Read the words and find out the similar meaning words from the passage: (2)
Violent Scattered Place of shelter for ships Shine light
A4. (i) We call it Kalapani as we are alone in the middle of the sea for days, he says.
(Use that and rewrite the sentence) (1)
(ii)It was meant to stem the number of shipwrecks of the harbour.
(a) was it? (b) wasnt it? (c) is it?
(Select the proper tag and rewrite the sentence) (1)
Imagine you have to spend a night in a lighthouse. Narrate your experience. (2)

B1. Pick out
The correct answers from the statements given below: (2)
(i) All parts of the human body receive blood from the:
(a) lungs (b) heart (c) stomach (d) liver
(ii) The portion of heart which doesnt receive proper blood supply becomes:
(a) strong (b) dead (c) weak (d) diseased
(iii) Angina results from the weakening of the:
(a) heart (b) liver (c) stomach (d) lungs
(iv) The heart receives its own blood supply through the:
(a) veins (b) lumen (c) fat (d) coronary arteries
Coronary bypass surgery is undoubtedly a very significant achievement of modern
medical science. But one ponders over certain pertinent questions such as the cost involved and
the ultimate benefit.
The human heart is nothing but a four-chambered muscular pump which supplies blood
to all parts of the body. Being an active pump, the heart itself requires a lot of energy and
receives its own blood supply via certain vessels called coronary arteries. By a process called
atherosclerosis, fat particles are deposited on the inner wall of the lumen of the coronary
arteries which eventually reduce the size of the lumen and produce obstruction to the free flow
of blood. The portion of the heart which suffers from lack of blood supply becomes weaker as a
pump and gives rise to a typical chest pain called angina. When such blockage is total, the
corresponding heart muscle dies and then one suffers a heart attack. In all these
circumstances, heart surgeons perform a special type of operation known as coronary bypass
surgery.
In this surgery a blood vessel is taken (usually from the leg of the patient) and then
grafted on the heart in such a way that when blood flows through, it bypasses the narrow
segment of the diseased coronary artery. The concept is to divert the flow from the narrow
artery, inside which there is already a traffic congestion and in this respect it is synonymous
to road bypass.
B2. Fill in the gaps
with the information given in the passage: (2)
(i) The number of chambers of the human heart are _______.
(ii) Name the process by which fat particles are deposited within coronary arteries _______.
(iii) When a heart muscle dies, due to total blockage one suffers from a _______.

(i) Cross cutting swords were used to seal the wall.
(ii) Hearing Mataprasads footsteps the cobra glided out of the wall.
Passage
Go, tell Neel, I whispered to Akhil. Tell him to get help.
While I waited, I prayed that Rex would not make any sudden move. The cobra would lash out
in swift, sure revenge. I do not know how long I stood there, riveted by the horrifying tableau being
enacted before me. At last I heard footsteps coming along the passage. It was Mataprasad, the mali,
with a solid reassuring stick.
At the sound of his approach, the cobra lowered its head and glided out of a hole in the wall.
The next day, masons came to seal the hole through which the cobra had slid in. And men in
gumboots armed with scythes and grass-cutting swords cleaned up the compound. They hacked away
at the tall grass. And what had lain hidden for years surfaced.
For instance we discovered that someone had laid out a badminton court many years ago.
And we discovered a grave. It was a small grave, close to the boundary wall. There was a moss
blackened stone at its head with just the faintest race of the words engraved on it. We identified the
words with our fingers.

SECTION I
Q.1. (A) Read the following passage carefully and complete the activities that follow: [10 marks]
A1. True or False
State whether the following statements are true or false. (2)
(i) Rocks take the shape that the water commands.
(ii) The spider webs are delicate as well as weak.
(iii) Our problems are big and so are we.
(iv) The teamwork and perseverance of ants was impressive.
We went to a rocky beach and saw the spread of the majestic ocean and the rocks
alongside, carved, sculpted and shaped by the water. Water is so gentle, rock so hard, yet, as the
water flows over it every day, for years, the rock gives in. It takes the shape that the water
commands. Our problems are so colossal and we are so small, yet if we persist
We saw small bits of grass peeping through the small cracks in a concrete pavement. It
left us thinking : however impossible things may look, there is always an opening
We saw a tree bare of all leaves in the cold winter months. We thought its chapter was
over. But three months passed, spring set in and the tree was back to its green majesty once
again, full of leaves, flowers, birds and life. What if we too had the conviction that, however
difficult things are right now, it will not remain so for ever. Remember, this too shall pass.
We saw an army of ants lugging a fly which was at least ten times the ants size. The ants
organized themselves around the fly, lifted it on frail feelers and carried it to quite a distance.
Their teamwork and perseverance were impressive. What if we too are consistent, organized,
focused Spider webs are delicate, yet very strong. A rainbow colours the entire sky.

B1. Guess and Write
Complete the following: (2)
(i) Strong physical, mental and technical qualities helped her ________.
(ii) A never say-die attitude helped her ________.
(iii) Author had high regard for Indian sportswomen because ________.
(iv) Her performance is more creditable because ________.
For Indian badminton, it is one of the best occasions in recent times to raise a toast. For
Saina Nehwal, personally, it has been three great weeks of consistent performance. Basically
there are three aspects that go into the making a badminton star like in most other sports
technical, physical and mental. Abundance of all three attributes is vital to be among the best in
the world. She has it all. That is the major difference between her and the other Indian girls.
Most often, they have just two of these qualities.
Saina is exceptional. She is technically sound, physically fit and mentally strong which
gives her an edge over others. Another great quality is her self-belief and never say-die
attitude. She does not give up easily even when the odds are against her. In a sport like
badminton, her performances are all the more creditable since the game is physically so
demanding.
Personally, I have a very high regard for Indian sportswomen who excel at the highest
level since they face a lot more challenges compared to men because of the nature of our
society. This is more so during the early phase of their career and the parents have to make a lot
of sacrifices to travel with them for their practice sessions well as tournaments.

A1. Properties
Mention any 4 properties of Haldi in the following diagram: (2)
Properties
of Haldi
This plant, with its high resistance to insects, pests and fungi and its adaptability to
various soils and climates, is extensively cultivated in Sri Lanka, Indo-China and parts of
China. India is by far the largest producer and consumer of turmeric in the world. In the
country, the States of Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala form the main
turmeric growing belt, often cultivating the plant in rotation with rice or sugarcane or as a
mixed crop with vegetables (this is not widely practised as it is believed that it affects yields).
Over the last few decades, turmeric has ranked third, after black pepper and cardamom, as a
spice export from India.
Because this spice contains essential oils that exude a distinct aroma and flavour,
enriching the sumptuousness of food and its anti-oxidant properties help to preserve pickles and
chutneys, it is very important to the rice-eating people of south and south-eastern Asia. In fact,
the people of Asia consume the largest quantity of turmeric as it is used as an additive in many
vegetables, meat and fish preparations.
A2. Answer (2)
(i) What are the requirements necessary for turmeric plant to grow?
(ii) Why is turmeric used in pickles and chutneys?
A3. Pick out Antonyms (2)
From the passage for the following:
(i) import
(ii) unclear
(iii) before
(iv) acceptance
A4. Articles
(i) India is largest producer and consumer of turmeric in world.

B1. Tick the correct group with the help of the following passage in the given table: (2)
Word Cave Language
Brahmi
Jogimara
Prakrit
Sita
Bengra
The Ramgiri hills have two main caves, Sita Bengra and Jogimara. On the walls of the
latter are the earliest love verses in Brahmi script. The language, curiously, is not Sanskrit but
Prakrit, which was spoken by the masses then. The translation reads. Roopdaksh Devdin is
enamoured by Devdasi Sutunuka. Roopdaksh is a sculptor, Devdasi a dancer.
Brahmi is one of the oldest scripts of the Asian subcontinent. Contemporary of the
Mauryan dynasty, its specimens are visible on several rock-cut structures that date back to the
3rd and 4 th century BC. The Ramgiri inscriptions date back to around 2nd century BC. Little is
known about the origins of Devdin or Sutunuka, except a probability that the sculptor belonged
to Varanasi, around 350 km away.
The Jogimara cave also has multi-coloured paintings, which eminent cultural critic
Anand Coomaraswamy dated back to 1st century. Coomaraswamy called these the oldest
historical paintings of India. These are older than the Ajanta paintings, Raipur museum
director and noted archaeologist Rahul Singh says.
B2. Select the correct alternatives from the bracket and rewrite the sentences: (2)
(i) The Jogimara has _______ coloured paintings. (multi-/single)

Birds and
Animals
There was a roaring in the wind all night;

The rain came heavily and fell in floods;
But now the sun is rising calm and bright,
The birds are singing in the distant woods;
Over his own sweet voice the Stock-dove broods;
The Jay makes answer as the Magpie chatters;
And all the air is filled with pleasant noise of waters.
All things that love the sun are out of doors;
The sky rejoices in the mornings birth;
The grass is bright with raindropson the moors
The hare is running races in her mirth;
And with her feet she from the plashy earth
Raises a mist; that, glittering in the sun,
Runs with her all the way, wherever she doth run.

He sent away the assistant and sat beside the patient. At about eleven the patient opened
his eyes and smiled at his friend. He showed a slight improvement, he was able to take in a
little food. A great feeling of relief and joy went through the household. They swarmed around
the doctor and poured out their gratitude. He sat in his seat beside the bed, gazing sternly at the
patients face, hardly showing any signs of hearing what they were saying to him. The sick
mans wife asked, Is he now out of danger? Without turning his head the doctor said, Give
glucose and brandy every forty minutes; just a couple of spoons will do. The lady went away
to the kitchen. She felt restless. She felt she must know the truth whatever it was. Why was the
191
great man so evasive? The suspense was unbearable. Perhaps he could not speak so near the
patients bed. She beckoned to him from the kitchen doorway. The doctor rose and went over.
She asked, What about him now? How is he? The doctor bit his lips and replied, looking at
the floor, Dont get excited. Unless you must know about it, dont ask now. Her eyes opened
wide in terror. She clasped her hands together and implored, Tell me the truth. The doctor
replied, I would rather not talk to you now. He turned round and went back to his chair. A
terrible wailing shot through the still house; the patient stirred and looked about in
bewilderment. The doctor got up again, went over to the kitchen door, drew it in securely and
shut off the wail.

SECTION I

State whether the following statements are true or false and rewrite them:
According to the narrator
(i) The first thought that entered the writers mind was that it was a ghost.
(ii) The sound of the footsteps began at quarter past one oclock.
(iii) The grandmother was in the kitchen.
(iv) The narrator was in the bed when he heard the steps.
The ghost that got into our house on the night of November 17, 1915, raised such a
hullabaloo of misunderstandings that I am sorry I didnt just let it keep on walking and go to
bed. Its advent caused my mother to throw a shoe through a window of the house next door
and ended up with my grandfather shooting a patrolman. I am sorry, therefore, as I have said,
that I ever paid any attention to the footsteps.
They began about a quarter past one oclock in the morning, a rhythmic, quick-
cadenced walking around the dining-room table. My mother was asleep in one room upstairs,
my brother Herman in another, grandfather was in the attic, in the old walnut bed which, as
you will remember, once fell on my father. I had just stepped out of the bathtub and was
busily rubbing myself with a towel when I heard the steps. They were the steps of a man
walking rapidly around the dining-table downstairs. The light from the bathroom shone down
the back-steps, which dropped directly into the dining-room; I could see the faint shine of
plates on the plate-rail; I couldnt see the table. The steps kept going round and round the
table; at regular intervals a board creaked, when it was trod upon. I supposed at first that it
was my father or my brother Roy, who had gone to Indianapolis but were expected home at
any time. I suspected next that it was a burglar. It did not enter my mind until later that it was
a ghost.

Two regiments of mentioned in the
Indian Army passage
Each crowd had a language of its own and spoke among themselves without the fear of
being overheard. Something as ubiquitous as dal tasted like sambar in the south, gaining its
dal-ness as we climbed up to Orissa; tea was called, chya, chai and sa, while coffee was kafi,
kaapi, and koffee. For a person with limited skills when it comes to learning and
understanding new languages, this was my Train of Babel.
But I was clearly in minority. The train had in it soldiers from the south going back to
patrol borders far away from home, and workers from the east going back home on a much-
needed break both serving as the connection between various parts of the country. These
were the polyglots, speaking in tongues that had no relation with their own, at times in
functional, curt phrases, or with flourish.
On the train, it was soon clear how important this was for those from the south and
Northeast. Every second passenger was a defence personnel, a majority of them belonging to
the oldest regiment of Indian Army, the Madras regiment, and the Assam Rifles. The other
half was made up of labourers from the east and further east the seven sisters of the
northeast. The former protects, the latter serves.
The third kind of passengers was those from the north and north east, forces to come
down thousands of kilometres for quality medical care. P. Gupta, the patriarch of a family
from Dimapur, Nagaland, had come to the CMC Hospital in Vellore, where he underwent
check-ups for his various ailments.

(iv) The husband and wife set a small table in the corner of the room for the old man.
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law and their four-year-old son.
The old mans hands trembled, his eyesight was bad and his step faltered. Every night the
family ate together at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfathers shaky hands and failing
sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped
his glass, often water spilled on the table cloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated
with the mess. We must do something about grandfather, said the son. Ive had enough of
his spilled water, noisy eating and food on the floor. So the husband and wife set a small
table in a corner of the room. There, the old man was made to eat alone while the rest of the
family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since he had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a
wooden bowl. Sometimes, when the family glanced in his direction, he had a tear in his eye as
he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he
dropped a spoon or spilled food. Their four-year-old son watched it all in silence.
One evening before dinner, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the
floor. He asked the child sweetly, What are you making? Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food for when I grow up. The
four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were
speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both
knew what must be done. That evening the husband took his fathers hand and gently led him
back to the family table.

B1. Advantages (2)
Mention any Four advantages of cycling as given in the passage:
Advantages
of cycling
Motor Transport is killing us! So says, Dr Anuradha Lal of DHI (Doctors of a Healthy
India) which met in Delhi yesterday. Thousands of people die every year in traffic accidents.
Even more people die because they breathe polluted air from motor vehicles. (Delhi is one of
the most polluted cities in the world.) So what is the answer? DHI says, we should make
cycling easier. Dr Lal outlined six reasons why:
(1) Most Indian cities are very polluted because every motor vehicle produces dirty fumes.
Doctor says that city air is so dirty that thousands of people die every year of chest
illnesses. Cycling is clean because it produces no fumes.
(2) Cyclists dont have to spend on petrol, so bicycles are cheap to run. Cycle repairs are
cheaper than motor repairs too because bicycles are quite simple machines.
(3) Bicycles save money for our country too. All motor vehicles need petrol which comes
from oil. India does not produce much oil, so we have to buy it from other countries.
But we dont need to buy anything from foreign countries to ride bicycles.
(4) If we get exercise every day, we become healthy. Cycling keeps us fit. Driving motor
vehicles does not!
(5) In cities sometimes, traffic doesnt move at all as there is not enough space on the
roads. Bicycles are too small to take up much road space.
(6) Motor traffic is very noisy. In contrast, bicycles are quiet except for the gentle tring,
tring of their bells.

There was a roaring in the wind all night;

The rain came heavily and fell in floods;
But now the Sun is rising calm and bright,
The birds are singing in the distant woods;
Over his own sweet voice the stock-dove broods;
The Jay makes answer as the Magpie chatters;
And all the air is filled with pleasant noise of waters.
All things that love the sun are out of doors;
The sky rejoices in the mornings birth;
The grass is bright with raindrops on the moors
The hare is running races in her mirth;
And with her feet, she from the plashy Earth
Raises a mist; that, glittering in the Sun,
Runs with her all the way, wherever she doth run.

(ii) The age of the writer when the story took place was _______.
One of the advantages of growing up in an Army household was the frequency with
which we move. Postings came with predictable regularity every three years. What was
unpredictable and therefore exciting was the suspense. Where would we go this time?
Ambala, Pune, Dehradun, Allahabad, Tejpur, Bangalore, Yo! In my short span of thirteen
years we had moved lock, stock and barrel eleven times!
Every move meant a change. New journeys, new schools, my new books, new
uniforms, new friends and new houses. We lived in tents, bashas, Nissen huts, flats and
bungalows. No matter what the shape and size of the dwelling, mother soon put her own
special stamps on it and transformed it into a familiar place our home complete with
bright yellow curtains, coffee-brown carpet, assorted pictures, hanging ferns and potted
palms providing a comforting sense of continuity in our essentially nomadic life.
I was thirteen, the year we moved to the Cantonment at Allahabad. In stark contrast to
the razzle-dazzle of the citys commercial areas like Katra and Chowk, the cantonment was a
quiet, orderly place with broad tree-lined roads that still carried the names of long-dead
Britishers. Our bungalow was on a sleepy by-lane called MacPherson Road. When we first
saw it, my brothers and I were delighted. It was by far the biggest house we had ever lived in.
The task of furnishing those huge, echoing rooms daunted Mother.

The River Nile was the life of ancient Egypt. It still is. Every spring, when the snow
melted in the mountains, the Nile rose in flood and spilled across the fields, not only watering
them, but leaving fertile coat of mud.
The pharaohs or kings of ancient Egypt left many wonderful monuments which we can
still see, today. The pyramids and the sphinx are the most famous of these. There are three
large pyramids at Giza. The biggest, built for Khufu, was about 147 metres tall and was made
from 2.3 million blocks of stone! Each pyramid took about 20 years to build.
The ancient Egyptians belived that when a person was alive, he or she had three souls.
When the person died, the three souls would die too and not go to the next world if the body
was not kept as it was. That is why they tried to keep the bodies of the pharaohs by
embalming them with oil and salt and wrapping them with bandages to create a mummy

SECTION I
A1. Order (2)
Arrange the following sentences in the chronological order as they appear in the passage:
(i) On celebrations, parents can invest ` 200 and plant a sapling of a tree representing the
childs birth star.
(ii) He wants to create Brihat Panchavati.
(iii) He has been able to increase the areas of the Pavitra Vana.
(iv) Plans are afoot to create a Saptaswara forest.
Today, Reddy is one of the most well-known environment specialists in India. With his
influence, he has been able to increase the areas of the Pavitra Vann and has plans to bring
about awareness of Puranic trees and flowers for the knowledge of the Indian citizens.
He wants to create near the Pavitra Vana, a Brihat Panchavati so that parents can show
their children the forest where Shakuntala lived or Sita spent her final days. There will also be
a hillock where people can meditate. Plans are also afoot to create a Saptaswara forest,
pertaining to different ragas in music. Scientists have found that certain plants react in a
particular way to different ragas. So in such a forest, when a musician performs certain ragas,
the plants will react in such a manner that it will benefit the audience, the musician and the
whole environment. The other idea is an ecopark for children. On celebrations, like birthdays,
parents can invest ` 200 and plant a sapling of a tree representing the childs birth star. The
plant will also carry the childs name. The Pavitra Vana also houses a garden of Prophet
Mohammed, which has some plants mentioned in the Holy Quran. There is the date plant
sacred to Islam and Mimosops elengi, the latter a highly fragrant variety. There is also the
garden of Eden for housing plants sacred to Christianity, but the Pavitra Vana authorities have
to procure most of them in the new sections.

B1. Select (2)
Fill in the blanks choosing the correct alternatives from those given in the bracket:
(i) The author was inspired and motivated to read _______ by the time she was eleven.
(Shakespeare, Chaucer, G.B. Shaw)
(ii) Every lesson ________ took was spiced with half a dozen or more anecdotes.
(Mrs. Rowlands, Sister Monica, Mr. A. N. Patil)
(iii) The teachers helped the narrator to become ________.
(confident, happy, independent)
(iv) Mrs. Cynthia Nesamani and Sister Monica gave _______ to the narrator.
(freedom to do what he wanted, advice to do something, instructions to produce better results)
In a way, one of the greatest gifts any teacher can give a student, I think, is to inculcate
a curiosity to learn.
Ive been incredibly lucky to have at least one such teacher at every stage in my life.
The first was Mrs. Rowlands who taught me in primary school. She taught me to read without
ever pushing me. She made me want to read more by giving me some of the most interesting
childrens books available. And although I still love to go back to those books from time to
time, it was only because of her that I was able to read Shakespeare by the time I was ten, and
Chaucer a year later.
In later years, it was Mr. A. N. Patil, my Marathi and Hindi Teacher who made a huge
impression on me. Every lesson he took, was spiced with half a dozen or more anecdotes
from a wide variety of subjects: among them history, politics, religion and sociology. I was,
and still am in awe of his knowledge, which despite rather desperate attempts, I doubt Ill
ever be able to match.
There have also been other teachers who helped me to try to become independent: to
think and act for myself using my own judgement, which to my mind has been just as, if not
more important, than actually learning anything. After all, its much too easy to become a
completely useless repository of facts and little else.
Two teachers whom I remember in particular are Mrs. Cynthia Nesamani and Sister
Monica, both taught me in school. The former, by and large, gave me a free rein to do what I
wanted to do. I, being one of those people who dislike instructions, she helped me to produce
much better results than Id have otherwise done.

(i) A new research suggests that eating healthy food and getting proper sleep helps
children to succeed in school.
(ii) Kids in the age group of 6-12 years should get an average sleep of little less than 7 hours.
(iii) Kids should start their day with yogurt, fruits and veggies.
(iv) Children should have consistent sleeping habit.
A new research suggests that eating healthy food and getting proper sleep can help
children succeed in school. According to research, when kids go to school without eating
breakfast, their cognitive function can be affected.
According to study, kids should start the day with fruits, proteins and whole grains and
they should avoid sugary cereals because they cause a sugar high. If the kids do need to eat
something prior to dinner, parents should offer healthy choices like yogurt, fruits and veggies or
baked chips. Children have also been advised to drink water instead of soda as it lacks nutritional
value. Moreover, research suggests that children need a good nights sleep for their overall
school performance. It is said that lack of sleep can lead to problems with attention and memory
in the classroom, affect impulse control and mood regulation lead to anxiety and even
depression.
While kids aged 6-12 years should get nine hours sleep nightly, adolescents from the
age of 13 to 18 years should get an average sleep of little more than seven hours per night.
However, the research suggests that catching up on lost sleep on the weekend can make
matters worse and recommended a consistent bedtime seven days a week.

(i) The effect of receding forest _______.
(ii) The number of animals is reduced because _______.
(iii) Elephants entered the city because _______.
(iv) Elephants lived a wary life _______.
On the left bank of the Ganga, where it emerges from the Himalayan foothills, there is
a long stretch of heavy forest. There are villages on the fringe of the forest, inhabited by
bamboo cutters and farmers, but there are few signs of commerce or pilgrimage. Hunters,
however, have found the area an ideal hunting ground during the last seventy years, and as a
result, the animals are not as numerous as they used to be. The trees, too, have been
disappearing slowly; and, as the forest recedes, the animals lose their food and shelter and
move further on into the foothills. Slowly, they are being denied the right to live.
Only the elephants can cross the river. And two years ago, when a large area of the
forest was cleared to make way for a refugee resettlement camp, a herd of elephants finding
their favourite food, the green shoots of the bamboo, in short supply waded across the river.
They crashed through the suburbs of Haridwar, knocked down a factory wall, pulled down
several tin roofs, held up a train, and left a trail of devastation in their wake until they found a
new home in a new forest which was still untouched. Here, they settled down a new life but
an unsettled, wary life. They did not know when men would appear again, with tractors,
bulldozers and dynamite.

The doctor said to himself, If my word can save his life, he shall not die. The will be
damned. He called, Gopal listen. This was the first time he was going to do a piece of
acting before a patient, simulate a feeling and conceal his judgement. He stooped over the
patient and said, with deliberate emphasis, Dont worry about the will now. You are going to
live. Your heart is absolutely sound. A new glow suffused the patients face as he heard it.
He asked in a tone of relief, Do you say so? If it comes from your lips it must be true
_______
The doctor said, Quite right. You are improving every second. Sleep in peace. You
must not exert yourself on any account. You must sleep very soundly. I will se you in the

doctor picked up his bag and went out, shutting the door softly behind him.

That Lawley Extension case. You might expect the collapse any second now. Go there with a
tube of _______ in hand, and give it in case the struggle is too hard at the end. Hurry up.
Next morning he was back at Lawley Extension at ten. From his car he made a dash for
the sick bed. The patient was awake and looked very well. The assistant reported satisfactory
pulse. The doctor put his tube to his heart, listened for a while and told the sick mans wife,
Dont look so unhappy, lady. Your husband will live to be ninety. When they were going
back to the hospital, the assistant sitting beside him in the car asked, Is he going to live, sir?
I will bet on it. He will live to be ninety. He has turned at corner. How he has survived
