the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

Passage Most kinds of mammals live on the land. But few of them such as seals, walruses, whales and dolphins make their homes in the sea. Some of these animals can stay under water for long periods of time. But, like all mammals, they are air-breathers. They must come to the surface to breathe from time to time. Whales and dolphins look so much like fish that many people think they are fish. But they are mammals. Thay have hair, they are warm blooded and their babies drink milk from their mother’s breast. The dolphins and porpoises are really small whales. Most people can’t tell a dolphin and porpoise apart, but there is a way. The snout of a dolphin is beak like and it almost seems to be smiling. A porpoise has a rounded snout. Dolphins are also much more playful than porpoises. They often leap out of the water. Seals, sea lions and walruses belong to a second group of sea mammals. All these animals are called pinnipeds which mean ‘fin-foot’. Their fins are simply flattened feet. These sea mammals are very different from the ones in the first group. Although they spend much of their time in the water, yet they are able to come on to the land and waddle about on their fin feet. Whales and dolphins can stay under water for long periods of time but A. They must come to surface to breathe. B. Must drink salt water to breathe. C. Eat green sea plants to get their oxygen. D. None of the above

the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

Passage Air is a mixture of many gases. It contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. Animals need to breathe in air in order to get oxygen. Oxygen burns the food within their body and releases energy for various activities. Water animals derive oxygen from water. Microbes like amoeba breathe through their body surface. Insects breathe through their spiracles. Birds, reptiles and mammals breathe through their lungs. When we breathe, we take in fresh air. This is called ‘inhaled air’. The air that we breathe out is called ‘exhaled air’. Exhaled air is warmer and has more carbon dioxide. We should breathe in fresh air. Animals need air A. In order to get Oxygen B. In order to get Nitrogen C. In order to get food D. In order to get water

the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

Passage Spiders are not insects as many people believe. They belong to a class of animals called arachnids. Spiders have eight eyes, four pairs of segmented legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. They do not have antenna or wings. A spider’s body can be divided into two sections. The sections are the abdomen and the cephalothorax. The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are in the cephalothorax section. Most spiders have poison glands and fangs in their jaws, which they use to inject poison into insects. This poison is called venom. Venom can paralyze an insect allowing the spider to eat the

insect as food. Spiders can live almost anywhere in the world. Some like very humid or hot temperatures and some like places that are very dry. Some spiders prefer to live under ground and others live in trees. We have all seen spiders that prefer to live in our houses. These amazing animals usually have six fingerlike silk glands called spinnerets located beneath their abdomen. The silk comes from inside the spider’s body as a liquid that is thicker than water. A spider uses this silk to make a web by squeezing the silk out of two small holes at the back of its body. These small holes are called spinnerets. At the time the silk hits the air, the silk dries into a line that looks like a long string of hair. Spiders use this silk as draglines to hang onto as the wind blows it through the air. The spider can crawl up or down on this dragline if the wind takes it somewhere it doesn’t want to be. Young spiders and adult male spiders like ballooning and can release long silken threads that float or ride in the wind to new areas. There are about 30,000 different types of spiders known to scientists. Most of them are very tiny animals that help us by eating insects. The next time you are out in the yard and see a spider, take a few minutes to watch this most interesting animal. How is venom used by the spider? A. To paralyze insects B. For ballooning C. As a dragline D. None of these

Passage India is an ancient country. Many great kings have ruled over India. Some of them built wonderful buildings that today remind us of them. The most famous of these is the Taj Mahal at Agra. The Mughal kings built many buildings. One of the greatest Mughals was Emperor Shah Jahan. He was known to be fond of large and beautiful buildings.

the story given below and answer the following question:

Passage Harris was riding a bicycle with his wife through Holland. The roads were stony, and the machine jumped a good deal. ‘Sit tight,’ said Harris, without turning his head. Mrs. Harris thought he said, ‘Jump off.’ Mrs. Harris did jump off; while Harris pedaled away hard, thinking that she was still behind him. At first she thought he was riding up the hill just to show off. She expected him to jump off when he reached the top of the hill, and lean in a careless and graceful manner against the bicycle, waiting for her. When she saw him pass the top of the hill and cycle rapidly down the other side, she was quite alarmed. She ran to the top of the hill and shouted, but he never turned his head. She watched him disappear into a wood a mile and a half away, and then sat down and cried. She had no money and she knew no Dutch. People passed, and seemed sorry for her. She tried to make them understand what had happened. They gathered that she had lost something, but could not grasp what. They took her to the nearest village, and found a policeman for her. From the signs she made, the policeman thought that some man had stolen her bicycle. They found a boy driving a lady’s bicycle about four miles away. They brought him to her in a cart, but as Mrs. Harris did not want either him or his bicycle, they let him go again. Meanwhile, Harris continued his ride with much enjoyment. It seems to him that he had suddenly become a stronger cyclist. “1 haven’t felt this machine so light for months. It’s this air, I think. It’s doing me good,” he said. Then he told his wife not to be afraid, and he would show her how fast he could go. He sped merrily on for about five miles. Then, the feeling began to grow upon him that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand behind him and felt there was nothing there. He jumped, or rather fell off, and looked back up the road. It stretched white and straight and not a living soul could be seen on it. Harris was in a panic. He asked several people, but nobody could understand anything that he was saying except that he seemed to have lost a lady. A young man suggested the police station at the next town. Harris made his way there. The police gave him a piece of paper, and told him to write down a full description of his wife, together with the details of when and where he had lost her. He did not know where he had lost her- all he could tell them was the name of the village where he had his lunch. He knew he had her with him then, and they had started from there together. With the help of a hotel-keeper, who spoke a little English, the police were able to make out what he wanted. In the evening they brought her to him in a covered wagon, together with a bill of expenses. She was very angry! (Adapted from Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K. Jerome) Tick the meaning the following word from the passage: 'Wagon' A. To move from side to side B. A small bird with a long tail C. A vehicle on four wheels, usually pulled D. None of the above

the passage and answer the question that follows:

AMAZING BLACK HOLES How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail. But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes. You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years. As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die. As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe. Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump - the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything - even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness. So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes - the great mystery of space. According to the article, what causes a star to die? A. As its gases run out, it cools down. B. It collides with other stars. C. It can only live for about a million years. D. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.
