Section – A : Reading Skills (20 Marks)
Question 1.
Read the following text.
1. We sit in the last row, bumped about but free of stares. The bus rolls out of the dull crossroads of the city, and we are soon in open countryside with fields of sunflowers as far as the eye can see, their heads all facing us. Where there is no water, the land reverts to desert. While still on level ground, we see in the distance the tall range of the Mount Bogda, abrupt like a shining prism laid horizontally on the desert surface. It is over 5,000 metres high, and the peak is under permanent snow, in powerful contrast to the flat desert all around. Heaven Lake lies part of the way up this range, about 2,000 metres above sea level, at the foot of one of the highest snow-peaks.
2. As the bus climbs, the sky, brilliant before, grows overcast. I have brought nothing warm to wear. It is all down at the hotel in Urumqi. Rain begins to fall. The man behind me is eating overpoweringly smelly goat’s cheese. The bus window leaks inhospitably, but reveals a beautiful view. We have passed quickly from desert through arable land to pasture and the ground is now green with grass, the slopes dark with pine. A few cattle drink at a clear stream flowing past moss-covered stones; it is a constable landscape. The stream changes into a white torrent, and as we climb higher, I wish more and more that I had brought with me something warmer than just the pair of shorts that have served me so well in the desert. The stream (which, we are told, rises in Heaven Lake) disappears, and we continue our slow ascent. About noon, we arrive at Heaven Lake, and look for a place to stay at the foot, which is the resort area. We get a room in a small cottage, and I am happy to note that there are thick quilts on the beds.
3. Standing outside the cottage, we survey our surroundings. Heaven Lake is long, sardine-shaped and fed by snow melt from a stream at its head. The lake is intense blue, surrounded on all sides by green mountain walls, dotted with distant steep. At the head of the lake, beyond the delta of the inflowing stream, is a massive snow-capped peak which dominates the vista; it is part of a series of peaks that culminate, a little out of view, in Mount Bogda itself.
4. For those who live in the resort, there is a small hall by the shore. We eat here sometimes, and sometimes buy food from the vendors outside, who sell kabab and naan until the last buses leave. The kababs, cooked on skewers over charcoal braziers, are particularly good, highly spiced and well done. Horse’s milk is available too from the local Kazakh herdsmen, but I decline this. I am so affected by the cold that Mr. Cao, the relaxed young man who runs the mess, lends me a spare pair of trousers, several sizes too large but more than comfortable.

2. The society has been working for the well-being and welfare of animals for many years. Its main aim is to change the attitude and thinking of people towards animals.

Unfortunately, about 35% of people don’t think about the animals at all. They are totaLly indifferent to them.

Answer:
Hero of Indian History – Shivaji
Indian history abounds with the heroic deeds of heroes, like Shivaji and Rana Pratap. Shivaji is one such hero. He lived and died for the glory of the country. Shivaji was born in 1627 in the hill fort of Shivner in Maharashtra. His father was a Jagirdar. His mother Jijabai was a religious lady. She told him the stories of great heroes from the Mahabharat and the Ramayana. She made him ‘Shivaji the Great’. Guru Ramdas also influenced his life. In his boyhood, he learnt horse riding, swimming and the use of various arms and weapons. At the early age of seventeen, he collected a small army of loyal Marathas and trained them in guerilla war-fare. With their help he began to conquer one fort after another.
First of all, he won the fort of Toran. There he got much wealth and weapons. Then he built a strong fort of his own at Durg. Shivaji started attacking the Mughal territories. The Sultan of Bijapur sent a large army against him under Afzal Khan but he killed Afzal Khan tactfully with his claws of steel. Aurangzeb also sent Shaista Khan against him with a large army but he also lost the battle. Shivaji was always a sore in the eyes of Aurangzeb. In the later years, Shivaji became an independent king.

Answer:
An Interesting Cricket Match
Once I got a chance to witness a cricket match on our college ground last year. Our college played a cricket match against the team of another college of our city. The weather was fine. The spectators were sitting all around on the benches and chairs. Both the teams came on the playground on time. Two umpires also came there. The match began at the right time. The captains of both the teams came forward and shook hands. Then there was a toss. Our captain won the toss and decided to bat. The other team took to fielding. Our captain and Ramesh came as the opening batsmen.
Our captain hit several boundaries. After two hours first, our captain was caught behind the wicket. He scored eighty runs. Then Suresh came in to play but he went out very soon. Our whole team was out at two hundred and sixty runs. Then the other team started bating. Suresh and Sohan were our bowlers. They bowled very well. In the first over the players of the other team made ten runs and we became nervous. The opening batsmen scored hundred and twenty runs. But soon, a batsman was declared L.B.W. by the umpire.
After this the captain came out to bat. He was a very good batsman. He batted carefully and hit several boundaries. He was out after adding eighty runs to the score. But after this all the batsmen were soon bowled one by one. The whole team was out at the score of two hundred and forty runs. In this way our college team won the match by twenty runs only. There was a great rejoicing and clapping. Each team gave three cheers to the other.
Question 5.
Attempt ANY ONE from A and B given below.

Answer:
Tuesday
25 December 20XX
11:00 p.m.
Dear Diary,
I was very excited when I was invited by my friend to attend the Christmas Carnival which was organised by her on 25th evening. I joined the party at 6:30 p.m. She had decorated her house with balloons and ribbons. There was a Christmas tree which was decorated with lights and small toys. At 7:30 p.m. we cut the cake and enjoyed the moment. Christmas is synonymous to winter chill, stars, wreaths, Santa Claus, plum cakes, carols and midnight mass at the church. Many of us were dressed in red to mark the celebration. The Carnival included several presentations by live band, light music filling up the ambience, jugglers, a photo studio meant for funny and memorable clicks, magicians, several games as well as food stalls offering scrumptious snacks. Such festive celebrations call for merriment with family and friends. Events like these add up to the lost energies of people and give a chance to break free from the mundane lifestyle. With loads of gifts and goodies to be won, this Carnival turned out to be a memorable one, filled with vigour and excitement.
Good Night Diary!

(B) I look at the flute seller standing in a corner of the square near the hotel. In his hand is a pole with an attachment at the top from which fifty or sixty bansuris protrude in all directions, like the quills of a porcupine. They are of bamboo: there are cross flutes and recorders. From time to time he stands the pole on the ground, selects a flute and plays for a few minutes. The sound rises clearly above the noise of the traffic and the hawkers’ cries. He plays slowly, meditatively, without excessive display. He does not shout out his wares.

(B) Throw light on the central theme of the poem ‘A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal’.
Answer:
The central theme of William Wordsworth’s poem “A slumber did my spirit seal” revolves around the profound impact of death and its ability to create emotional detachment. The “slumber” that seals their spirit serves as a metaphor for the speaker’s experience of losing someone, which is explored in the poem. The idea of death as a transformational force that separates the living from the dead and causes a sense of estrangement is prevalent. The speaker’s spirit is cut off from the outside world and unable to feel the same emotions as previously, and memories of the lost person become blurry and distant. The theme focuses on the long-lasting impacts of loss and the speaker’s ongoing absence, illuminating the profound nature of death and its effects on the human spirit.

When the king ordered to execute the disciple, he prayed to his Guru to save him. The Guru heard his prayer in his vision and appeared to rescue his disciple. First, he whispered something in this disciple’s ears and then asked the king to execute him first and the disciple followed suit, which puzzled the king. Knowing the secret, the king fell into the trap of his temptation and wanted to be the king in his rebirth. He went into the prison at night and set the guru and disciple free. In their place, he and his minister disguised themselves as the guru and disciple and got executed. Thus, the Guru managed to save his disciple, though it was not easy to handle such a situation.

(B) The little swallow fanned the seamstress boy to make him feel comfortable. This act of the swallow was full of compassion. Give a real life example of such an act done by you for someone. Write in about 100-120 words.
Answer:
The Happy Prince asked the swallow to take the ruby out of sword where it was hidden and give it to the seamstress, whose son was lying on the bed with fever. The swallow reached him and fanned the boy to give comfort to him. I also experienced such an act of compassion in my life. Once when I was going to my school, I saw an old man lying on the road side. He was badly wounded, blood was flowing from his body. I took him to the hospital but he had no money. So I called my father to come with money. I also called the son of that old man. Thus, I could save the old man’s life. Really, it was an experience of joy of doing good to someone else. It is every individual’s responsibility.
