Directions (1-5): Read the passage, carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. The environment comprises all the physical, social and cultural factors and conditions influencing the existence or the development of an organism. Due to indiscriminate industrialization, man has created a state of decadence. He has continuously tampered with nature which has resulted in the threat to the sustenance of mankind. Although, attempts have been made to restore nature to its previous state of purity and serenity, the efforts have not been whole-hearted. Earth is the home we all share and would pass on to our future generations as their legacy. But if they inherit the present state of the world, they would be unable to sustain themselves. Man has steadily improved the technologies and other means necessary for higher production of wealth and for the availability of devices that could give more physical and mental pleasures. The industrial revolution led to a drastic escalation of earth’s surface temperature. Man exploited nature for his benefits, without any foresight as to what the implications of his actions would be. Indiscriminate industrialization resulted in urban migration as the rural poor settled in cities in search of opportunities. Cities, already facing a population crisis could not accommodate the migrants and this led to the development of slums. This has resulted in increased pressure on the available resources and further degradation of the environment.

Directions (6-10): Read the passage, carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle which uses two or more kinds of propulsion. Most hybrid vehicles use a conventional gasoline engine as well as an electric motor to provide power to the vehicle. These are usually called hybrid-electric-vehicles, or HEVs. Hybrids use two types of propulsion in order to use gasoline more efficiently than conventional vehicles do. Most hybrid vehicles use the gasoline engine as a generator which sends power to the electric motor. The electric motor then powers the car. In conventional vehicles, the gasoline engine powers the vehicle directly. Since the main purpose of using a hybrid system is to efficiently use resources, most hybrid vehicles also use other efficient systems. Most hybrid vehicles have regenerative braking systems. In conventional vehicles, the gasoline engine powers the brakes, and the energy used in braking is lost. In regenerative braking systems, the energy lost in braking is sent back into the electrical battery for use in powering the vehicle. Some hybrid vehicles use periodic engine shutoff as a gas-saving feature. When the vehicle is in idle, the engine temporarily turns off. When the vehicle is put back in gear, the engine comes back on. Some hybrids use tires made of a stiff material which rolls easily and prevents drag on the vehicle. Since hybrid vehicles use less gasoline than conventional vehicles, they put fewer emissions into the atmosphere than conventional vehicles do. As hybrids become more popular, conventional vehicles are being used less, and the level of emissions being put into the air is decreasing. Hybrid vehicles are an example of an energy-efficient technology that is good for both consumers and the environment.
Q6. Two kinds of propelling forces used by hybrid vehicles are
(a) electric motor and power
(b) electric engine and generator
(c) gasoline engine and electric motor
(d) electrical battery and gasoline
Q7. The difference between hybrid and conventional vehicle is that
(a) Hybrids are heavier as compared to conventional ones.
(b) Hybrids do not use electric motors while conventional ones do.
(c) Hybrids use gas while conventional vehicles use petrol.
(d) Hybrids use two types of propulsions while conventionals rely on one.
Q8. Why do HEVs use two types of propulsions?
(a) To go faster
(b) To use gasoline efficiently
(c) To provide a comfortable ride
(d) To become environmental friendly
Q9. ‘Regenerative’ most closely means:
(a) Restorative
(b) Electric
(c) Gasoline
(d) Powerful
Q10. In the context of the passage which of the following best articulates how the author regards the topic?
(a) Conventional vehicles may be more powerful than hybrid vehicles but hybrid vehicles are more socially responsible.
(b) Since hybrid vehicles use less gasoline and put fewer emissions into the atmosphere, they are better for the environment.
(c) Hybrid vehicles are less expensive, so they are a smarter buy than conventional vehicles.
(d) Conventional vehicles are faster but hybrid vehicles are better for the environment.
Directions (11-5): Read the passage, carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can call the cloud and the paper inter-are. If we look into this sheet of paper even more deeply, we can see the sunshine in it. If the sunshine is not there, the forest cannot grow. In fact, nothing can grow. Even we cannot grow without sunshine. And so, we know that the sunshine is also in this sheet of paper. The paper and the sunshine inter-are. And if we continue to look, we can see the logger who cut the tree and brought it to the mill to be transformed into paper. And we see the wheat. We know that the logger cannot exist without his daily bread, and therefore the wheat that became his bread is also in this sheet of paper. And the logger’s father and mother are in it too. When we look in this way, we see that without all of these things, this sheet of paper cannot exist. Looking even more deeply, we can see we are in it too. This is not difficult to see, because when we look at a sheet of paper, the sheet of paper is part of our perception. Your mind is in here and mine is also. So we can say that everything is in here with this sheet of paper. You cannot point out one thing that is not here-time, space, the earth, the rain, the minerals in the soil, the sunshine, the cloud, the river, the heat. Everything co-exists with this sheet of paper. This is why I think the word inter-be should be in the dictionary. “To be” is to inter-be. You cannot just be by yourself alone. You have to inter-be with every other thing. This sheet of paper is, because everything else is.
Q11. A poet sees a cloud in a sheet of paper as
(a) He/She is very creative
(b) He/She loves nature
(c) He/She writes poetry on paper
(d) He/She sees the universe as a single entity
Q12. A cloud and the paper inter-are means
(a) Both are very important
(b) Both exist because of the other; they are interrelated
(c) A cloud exists on its own
(d) Everything in this world is separate
Q13. Why can’t the logger exist without his bread?
(a) He likes to buy his bread by cutting trees
(b) He can’t grow wheat
(c) Without cutting trees he can’t earn money: can’t buy his meals
(d) There won’t be enough trees to cut
Q14. The theme of the comprehension is
(a) Paper is the basic material of everything
(b) Don’t harm anybody
(c) Inter-are and inter-be
(d) Very confusing
Q15. Why does the writer think that the word ‘inter-be’ should be in the dictionary?
(a) Because he didn’t find this word in the dictionary
(b) Because he is a linguist
(c) Because he is interested in new words
(d) Because our very existence is defined by this term
