PASSAGE-2
A recent investigation by scientists at the USA Geological Survey shows that strange animal behaviour might help predict
future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten kilometre radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent

can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap.

PASSAGE 3

Every profession or trade, every art and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to
designate things or processes which have no names in ordinary English and partly to secure greater exactness in
nomenclature. Such special dialects or jargons are necessary in technical discussion of any kind. Being universally
understood by the devotees of the particular science or art, they have the precision of a mathematical formula. Besides,
they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical
terms are very properly included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather on the outskirts of the English
language than actually within its borders. Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special
vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts and other vocations like farming and Ashing that have occupied great numbers of
men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is very old. An average man now uses these in his own vocabulary. The
special dialects of law, medicine, divinity and philosophy have become familiar to cultivated persons.

Passage 4

In May 1966, the World Health Organisation was authorised to initiate a global campaign to eradicate small pox.The goal
was to eradicate the disease in one decade. Because similar projects for malaria arid yellow fever had failed, few
believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated, but eleven years after the initial organisation, of the campaign, no
cases were reported in the field, The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations, but also to isolate patients with
active small-pox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission, Rewards
for reporting small-pox assisted In motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one, each smallpox victim was
sought out, removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire, village where the victim had
lived was vaccinated. Today small-pox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped
worldwide.

Passage 5

If we look back on the great political revolutions and the great technological revolutions (both of which are clues to the
range of mankinds capacities and possibilities), we see a striking contrast. Political revolutions, generally speaking, have
revealed man's organised purposefulness, his social conscience, his sense of justice, the aggressive assertive side of his
nature.
Technological change, invention and innovation have tended, rather, to reveal his play instinct, his desire and his ability
to go where he has never gone, to do what he has never done. The one shows his willingness to sacrifice in order to
fulfill his plans the other his willingness to sacrifice in order to pursue his quest. Many of the peculiar successes and
special problems of our time come from our efforts to assimilate these two kinds of activities. We have tried to make
government more experimental and to make technological change more purposive, more focused, more planned than
ever before.

Q73. According to the author our peculiar successes and special problems are a result of
(A) our ability to experiment (B) mans organized purposefulness
(C) our efforts to assimilate political and technological activities (D) desire to fulfil our plans

Passage 6

Some people say that mans desire for war is due to his fight for survival and that war is necessary to preserve his virility.
Yet war nowadays leaves a legacy of the weakest men and stimulates not the noble but the bestial qualities of mankind.
Adventure of some kind is necessary for man; he will inevitably deteriorate physically and mentally if his life is one of
ease and luxury lived In an atmosphere of 'Safety First. This is the real reason behind our love of sports in the open air.
It is no use being a millionaire if one suffers from chronic indigestion; a tramp with good innards is far happier. Nothing
that money can buy is worthwhile without good health.
There is no better way to perfect health and physical fitness than to walk over or climb hills and mountains. But
mountains give us much more than mere physical fitness; they exercise the mental faculties as well. Climbing a high and
difficult peak is as much a mental exercise as a physical exercise. It calls for sense and judgment for planning and
thinking ahead, for anticipating difficulty and danger, for responsibility towards one's companions, and best of all, it
brings the mountaineer into touch with the beauties of the universe.
