Questions.

Question 1.
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. (8)
Coral reefs are warm, clear, shallow ocean habitats that are rich in life. The reef’s massive structure is formed from coral polyps, tiny animals that live in colonies. When coral polyps die, they leave behind a hard, stony, branching structure made of limestone.

There are two types of corals, hard corals and soft corals. Hard corals (like brain coral and elkhorn coral) have hard, limestone skeletons which form the basis of coral reefs. Soft corals (like sea fingers and sea whips) do not build reefs.

Coral reefs develop in shallow warm water usually near land, and mostly in the tropics; corals prefer temperatures between 70° and 85° F (20-30° C). There are coral reefs off the eastern coast of Africa, off the southern coast of India, in the Red Sea, and off the coasts of northeast and northwest Australia and on to Polynesia. There are also coral reefs off the coast of Florida, USA, to the Caribbean, and down to Brazil.

The Great Barrier Reef (off the coast of North-East Australia) is the largest coral reef in the world. It is over 1257 miles (2000 km) long. Many coral reefs are dying. Major threats to coral reefs are water pollution (from sewage and agricultural run off), dredging off the coast, careless collecting of coral specimens and sedimentation (when silt or sand from construction or mining projects muddies the waters of a reef and kills corals, which need light to live).

The underwater coral city is a unique and diverse collection of colourful and weirdly patterned animals. Most of the problems of a city are present: food supply and distribution, that of accommodation and living space, leading to large scale squatting and a shift system, a large floating population, immigration and a balancing force of criminal predators.

The islands are low, merely a metre or two above the sea level, yet they withstand the powerful hurricanes and waves of the sea. As they are encircled by a protective reef, any destruction during an attack by pounding waves is quickly repaired by its microscopic engineers and architects before the next wave comes.
(i) The massive structure of the coral reef is formed from…… (1)
(ii) What are coral reefs? (1)
(iii) Where do coral reefs develop?  (1)
(iv) Soft corals differ from hard corals as they   (1)

(vi) The largest coral reef is which is long.  (1)
(vii) Where are coral reefs found?  (1)
(viii) What does the underwater coral city comprise of?  (1)

Question 2.
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. (12)
How you can best improve your English depends on where you live and particularly on whether or not you live in an English speaking community. If you hear English spoken every day and mix freely with English speaking people, that is on the whole an advantage. On the other hand, it is often confusing to have the whole language poured over you at once. Ideally, a step-by-step course should accompany a lead-up to this experience. It will also help a great deal if you can easily get the sort of English books in which you are interested.

To read a lot is essential. It is stupid not to venture outside the examination ‘set books’ or the textbooks you have chosen for intensive study. Read as many books in English as you can, not as a duty but for pleasure. Do not choose the most difficult books you find with the idea of listing and learning as many new words as possible. Choose what is likely to interest you and be sure in advance that it is not too hard. You should not have to be constantly looking up new words in the dictionary, for that deadens interest and checks real learning. Look up a word here and there, but as a general policy try to push ahead, guessing what the words mean from the context. It is extensive and not intensive reading that normally helps you to do interesting extra reading and thereby improve your English. You should enjoy the feeling which extensive reading gives of having some command of the language.

As you read, you will become more and more familiar with words and sentence patterns you already know, understanding them better and better as you meet them in more and more contexts, some of which may differ only slightly from others.

Some people say that we cannot learn to speak a language better with the help of a book. To believe this is to believe that the spoken language and the written language are quite different things. This is not so. There is a very great deal in common between the two. In learning the patterns and vocabulary of the written form we are learning to a considerable extent those of the spoken form too. We are, in fact, learning the language and not merely the form of the language.
(i) How can we improve our English? (2)
(ii) What two things should we avoid while trying to learn English language? (2)
(iii) What are the advantages of extensive reading over intensive reading? (2)
(iv) Are the spoken language and written language different? If not, how? (2)
(v) Which word in paragraph 2 means the same as ‘set out’? (1)
(vi) Which word in paragraph 1 means the same as ‘society’? (1)
(vii) The word in paragraph 2 which is synonym of ‘thorough’is (1)
(viii) The word in paragraph 2 which is an antonym of ‘occasionally’ is (1)

Desktop Diet
by Ankita Roy, Class IX-A

People working in offices very often grab a bite of fast food to get rid of their hunger pangs. The meal options comprise of burgers, sandwiches, momos, pizzas and similar snacks. Very frequently, they also gulp down cups of tea or coffee to endure their long hours of working. This is termed as ‘desktop diet’ by doctors and nutritionists. They are urging people to improve such a ‘desktop diet’, meaning all items of food that a person consumes at his/ her workplace. They are saying this because they have observed an alarming rise in ailments like inflated sugar levels, fat deposits and a fluctuating blood pressure due to this.
Thus, it is wise for office goers to prepare meals at home and pack them for taking to the office. If working people want snacks, they should have high fibre snacks. Fibre rich fruits, vegetables or whole grain dishes keep the stomach satiated during the afternoon and a nutritious diet keeps one alert at the workplace throughout the day.

Dear Diary
My uncle works for a news channel. He took me to his production office today as I had a holiday at school. He took me to the studio, which was very big. A lot of people and various electronic machines were working to produce the various programmes telecast by the channel. I am glad that I could experience a live news show. I sat and admired the newsreader’s communication skills as he read the news flashing on the screen in front of him. He was very confident despite being surrounded by so many lights and cameras. I realised that it is a tough job for each one of them working hard to produce even a news item from scratch so that it appears interesting and understandable to the viewers. I really enjoyed the day at my uncle’s office. It was highly informative and motivated me to think of a career in the line of electronic media.
Good night.

We sat in a circle and waited for our teacher. My friend Anita was sitting beside me. All of us were busy completing the problems given by our teacher for the home assignment.

Suddenly Anita poked me and showed me her class test notebook. I saw that she had scored three marks out of fifteen. Within a moment, she wrote a numerical one in front of the number and changed her score. As An*”” mother served us snacks as refreshment, she asked, “What is your score, Anita?” When Anita showed her class test notebook to her mother, she smiled and praised her performance. After an hour of waiting, our teacher rang and informed us that she will not be able to come due to the heavy rain and the next class will be conducted next week. However, she informed Anita’s mother about her marks. When Anita’s mother came to know about the truth, she cross-questioned me. I agreed with Anita’s changed score and remained silent. Anita’s mother scolded both of us for not telling the truth. We felt ashamed of ourselves and promised never to do or allow such things to happen again.

Mysterious Gift

Tina turned 16 yesterday. She had been planning her party from the past two weeks. Her parents and her younger brother were all very excited. Finally, the day came and the party was an enjoyable one. All her friends had a gala time at the party. They danced, played games and ate delicious snacks and slices of a mouth-watering chocolate cake. They had brought gifts for Tina and thought that she would open them after the party.
At night, Tina was opening the gifts one by one, carefully reading the names of the persons who had given them. She noticed a small rectangular box without a name or note. This made her curious. When she opened it she found a photo frame in which she saw her childhood photograph with a girl. She recognised this girl as her childhood friend Shikha.
Tina and Shikha were best friends until 5 years of age, before Shikha’s family shifted outside India. Since then, both the girls had not been in touch with each other. Tina was surprised and felt happy that her old friend had remembered her. At the back of the photo frame was Tina’s current address and phone number. She called Shikha and thanked her for the surprise gift.

These words are spoken to the author by Krishtakka, her grandmother. The author used to narrate to her grandmother every week the story of the novel named Kashi Yatre being serialised in the weekly magazine Karmaveera. However, one week the author’s absence from home due to a marriage in the family made the grandmother helpless, as she could not read the story on her own, being illiterate. So she decided to become independent by learning how to read her mother tongue, Kannada.
She asked the author to teach her Kannada. She proved to be an epitome of determination with her words. She worked hard to achieve her goal and that too within the deadline she had set for herself, the Saraswati Pooja day during Dassara. Even at her old age, she displays the values of determination and hard work to achieve her goal. She serves as an example of achieving her goal through dedication and hard work.

Private Quelch was admired by his teachers and peers for his vast knowledge. He was brilliant, well-read and knowledgeable. However, he had one very disturbing habit. His method of exhibiting his knowledge and stating his views was not in keeping with the discipline of a military camp. He used to do this by interrupting his seniors’ lectures and correcting them publicly, thus insulting them. He appeared to be too overbearing, snobbish and boastful, besides having bad manners. He needed to respect the point of view of others, particularly his seniors and colleagues. Due to his bad habit, on many occasions he insulted his professors by interrupting their lectures. He also publicly corrected their mistakes. The teacher is supposed to be a guide and mentor and he should be treated with the respect due to him. Thus, Private Quelch had no right to be disrespectful to his seniors.

Answer 11.
Gulliver had no hope to leave from Brobdingnag, although he was optimistic about his liberation from there. However, it was by chance that he was able to leave from there. One day, while his nurse was away and he was sleeping in his box by the sea coast, an eagle lifted his box high up in the air and flew • away. But suddenly another eagle attacked it and accidentally the box fell into the sea.
Luckily the strong box did not break. Hence no water seeped into it. Soon Gulliver felt his box being raised and then heard the sound of a cable passing through a ring. He cried for help. This time there was a response and the sailors pulled Gulliver out from his box. The ship was destined for England and thus Gulliver was saved.

Respectful, Kind and Generous The King of Luggnagg has many qualities that will attract the reader. He is very kind, generous, caring, wise and hospitable. He gives Gulliver the highest priority. He enjoys the company of Gulliver. He wants to listen to Gulliver because he is eager to know about Gulliver and his experiences. It shows his desire of collecting information. He also respects a person who is experienced and knowledgeable like Gulliver. He offers Gulliver employment in his court as a mark of giving him respect.

Proud and Whimsical Apart from these qualities, he has a big shortcoming. He is full of pride and whimsical. He makes all those who come to meet him lick the dust off the floor in front of him. This ritual also served another purpose, which was to eliminate his enemies. He did this by sprinkling a poisonous powder on the floor. When the person licked the floor, he was poisoned and died soon. It was nothing less than the arbitrariness of the monarch and it showed his whimsical nature.

Three Men in a Boat

The three friends were sitting in a meadow, about to have lunch. Harris was busy carving the beefsteak pie and asked for a spoon. George and J turned to get a spoon out of the hamper, and when they looked round again, both Harris and the pie had disappeared. J and George could not think of a valid reason for such a strange disappearance. It was an open field and Harris had vanished in thin air with the pie.
While they were mourning his disappearance, they were terrified to see Harris’ head sticking bolt upright among the tall grass. His face was red with anger. He accused the two of doing it on purpose. Harris had apparently been sitting on the verge of a deep ditch. The long grass had hidden it. In leaning back a little, he had fallen into the ditch. Harris said that he has never felt so surprised in all his life as when he first felt himself going, without being able to guess what had happened.
Harris never stopped believing that George and J had planned it all beforehand.

Humorous Hypochondriac Jerome’s habit of reading about different diseases makes him suffer. He is psychologically driven to acknowledge that he is suffering from some disease and he himself confirms his suffering and decides to go to a doctor. He reads about hay fever, typhoid and many other diseases. Every time he reads about the symptoms of the diseases he believes that he is suffering from the same disease. Thus, he is actually a hypochondriac. He even jokes that the prime symptom of his current disease is “a general disinclination to work of any kind”. He perhaps enjoys his habit of visiting a doctor with casual excuses of diseases.

Justifies Laziness The doctor’s prescription also becomes a joke to the narrator. The doctor has advised him to eat and drink well, walk every morning and sleep early every night. It has been his tendency to suffer from laziness when he was a child and he adds humour in justifying that beatings would have worked well instead of medicines. Jerome always casually encounters the doctor in the context of suffering. He with his casual disposition also contributes to the humour in the novel.

   • Section A: Reading                 20 Marks
   • Section B: Writing and Grammar  30 Marks
   • Section C: Literature (Textbooks)  30 marks
2. All the questions are compulsory.
3. All the questions of a particular section must be attempted in the correct order.

 Section (A)
Reading (20 Marks)

Questions.

Question 1.
Read the passage given below.  (8 Marks)
1. Facebook’s free-but-restricted internet service, Free Basics, has been banned in India after the country’s national telecom regulator ruled that the programme and others like it infringe the principles of net neutrality.

2. The decision from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) comes after a long battle between Facebook and the country’s net neutrality advocates. Free Basics was blocked temporarily in India last December while the TRAI considered its case, but other services like Airtel Zero had previously been the subject of protests. But although Facebook’s attempt to offer subsidised content wasn’t the only such programme in India, it was particularly visible. After its temporary ban, the company started a campaign to try and win public support, reportedly spending nearly $45 million promoting Free Basics with billboards and newspaper advertisements.

3. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg even wrote an op-ed in The Times of India defending the programme, expressing surprise that there was any debate over the virtues of Free Basics at all. “Instead of wanting to give people access to some basic internet services for free, critics of the programme continue to spread false claims — even if that means leaving behind a billion people”, he wrote, adding: “Who could possibly be against this?”

4. However, critics of Free Basics and zero-rating in general argue that the practice creates an unfair marketplace. By subsidising consent, companies like Facebook get pick and choose winners, creating incentives for Customers to use certain services because they don’t eat into their data. This in turn makes it harder for smaller players to compete and quashes innovation.

5. Facebook argued that Free Basics not only offered free access to Facebook (of course), but also a range of helpful sites that offered resources like weather reports and health information. (Cellphone usage in India is relatively high, but it’s estimated that only around 19 per cent of the population have access to the internet.) Opponents of Free Basics, though, argued that Facebook was being disingenuous. Although, Free Basics didn’t include any advertisements, they said it did collect user data, suggesting that the company was just laying the groundwork for a time when India’s population could be monetised via ads.

6. In the end, though, Facebook’s campaigning has come to nothing. In a press release,
the TRAI notes that its decision was “guided by the principles of net neutrality”, and that its end goal is “to ensure that consumers get unhindered and non-discriminatory access to the internet.” Whether or not it achieved this goal is sure to be debated in India and around the world. (478 words)

1.1 Attempt any eight of the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read. (1×8 = 8)
(i) What resulted in the ban on Free Basics in India? (1)
(ii) Why did TRAI temporarily block Free Basics? (1)
(iii) How much money did Facebook spend to promote Free Basics and why? (1)
(iv) Mark Zuckerberg expressed surprise on what issue? (1)
(v) What did the critics argue for Free basics and zero-rating? (1)
(vi) How did Facebook defend itself? (1)
(vii) What was the result of the debate over Free Basics in India? (1)
(viii) What is TRAI’s end goal? (1)
(ix) What ultimately quashes innovation?

Question 2.
Read the passage given below. (12)
1. Travelling plays an important role in our education. The terms ‘travelling’ and ‘education’ cannot be alienated from each other. Our education remains incomplete without travelling.

2. ‘Travelling’ means going from one place to other places. In ancient times, travelling was very difficult and risky because there were no proper roads and transports. A traveller had to pass hills and forests. He had to face the fury of nature, wild beasts, robbers and many other obstacles.

3. Travelling also removes the narrowness and superstitions of man. It makes a traveller smart and self-reliant. Owing to the fabulous progress in the field of communication, travelling today involves less hazards. Hence, students must take part in educational tours. It is both entertaining and instructive for them.

4. Travelling is now regarded as an important part of education. An educational tour increases our knowledge and new thoughts and ideas grow up in us. The education of man remains incomplete if he does not visit important places of the world. Reading of books only provides man with half knowledge. But, travelling with eyes wide open and mind fully active gives him full knowledge.

5. The education of a student remains incomplete without travelling. Educational institutions and tourist bureaus often arrange study tours at affordable rates. Many schools and colleges arrange visits to places that are of geographical or historical importance. Visits to historical places give students a practical insight of the past events. After visiting these historical places, when these students read about those places or events, they are able to fully understand the subject.

7. It has been observed that in cities, students are travelling twice a year either with their respective school/ college or with their parents or friends, because there is no financial problem with them. However, students of village schools are deprived of such travel for want of money. Government should look into the matter and make arrangement for educational tours in village schools. (353 words)

Dear Diary
Today was a red-letter day for me, as I participated in a huge candlelight demonstration at the historic Jantar Mantar monument. Students and youth from all over the country were present. It was a silent and peaceful march where everyone prayed for the poor souls who were victims of various crimes such as dowry death, rape, domestic violence and other similar offences. The march was organised by a well-known NGO working for the cause.
I was happy to see the awareness of this problem even among the boys and men who participated in the march. I returned home with a feeling that now the government will listen to us and take strict action against the offenders. It was a good experience for me.

I like to watch cartoons and there are many cartoon characters I like. Some of them are Tom, Doremon, He-Man, Mickey Mouse etc. However, the cartoon character that I like the most is Jerry. Jerry is a mouse that appears in my favourite cartoon show, Tom and Jerry Show. I have been watching Jerry in the Tom and Jerry Show since I was a kid. He is portrayed in the cartoon series as a small mouse which is brown in colour. The other character in the show is Tom, the cat. Tom is much bigger than Jerry and is always after it. This is so because Jerry is habitual of teasing Tom. Jerry plays a lot of pranks on Tom and is not fearful of the big-size cat at all. It is a lot of fun watching both of them running after each other. It seems obvious to viewers that Tom would be able to get hold of Jerry but that doesn’t happen. It is the prankster, Jerry, who wins in the end and steals the show. I enjoy this show so much and am always in awe of Jerry.

Encountering a UFO

One night I was sitting beside my bedroom window. Suddenly, I saw a bright spot in the sky which was drawing nearer and nearer. When it came very near my home, I saw that it was a bright spacecraft like an overturned saucer floating across the sky. As I watched, the object came lower and slowly landed in my garden. Soon, the door of the spacecraft opened and a few tiny stick-like figures emerged.

I was completely numb with amazement. These odd creatures were carrying gadgets which I had never seen. They walked about the garden, collecting samples of grass, flowers, inserts and leaves, finally making their way back towards the spaceship. I quickly took some photos of them with my cellphone camera to share with my friends.

I could not hear them speak anything. The only sound they made was like the chirping of a bird. Soon they had all entered the spacecraft. Its door closed and a few moments later, the spacecraft was airborne again, leaving only a circular, burnt mark on the grass as a sign of its ever having come here. The spacecraft left as silently as it had come. When I went through the photos I had taken, not a single photo showed anything at all. I was totally confused and saddened that I did not have evidence of what I had witnessed first hand.

To complete a task, one of most important step is ‘planning’. It is a step by step execution of one’s thoughful actions to obtain desired results. If one doesn’t plan well then there are more chances of failures. A well-planned things give you the freedom to execute the plans well, but they might collapse in the end. In the chapter ‘If I were you’, the intruder was a meticulous planner. He had worked out everything in detail and had gathered almost all the facts about Gerrard. He had kept a close eye on all the activities of Gerrard, his possessions like car and the persons families with him, yet he failed in killing Gerrard.
This shows that even if you have planned well, you need to consider your expectation. Therefore, you should not undermine your opponent because he might find holes in your plan. Hence, it is advisable to consider your opponent’s strength with careful planning to fulfil your aspirations.

In the poem ‘No Men are Foreign’, the poet gives a universal message of brotherhood among all human beings. He reminds us in different ways that all human beings are similar. Despite being from different countries, speaking different languages, believing in different religions etc, we are all similar we are human being. So, the poet teaches us the values of humanity, brotherhood, love and compassion. All men, though they wear different dresses, have similar bodies. They all equally enjoy the sun, air, water, and live and die on this Earth.

The poem criticises war and says that we can win over others through love and not by power or waging a war. But, if we are in brotherhood we can share the joys of being together and enjoy the peace. Our misdeeds, hatred and jealousy have no end which pollute our humanity. Therefore, we must remain infact to our values, ethics and dignity.

Reading (20 Marks)

Questions.

Question 1.
Read the passage given below.  (8 Marks)
1. Organic farming was being practised in India years ago till the British ruled it. In traditional India, agriculture was practised using organic techniques, where the fertilisers, pesticides etc were obtained from plant and animal products. Organic farming was the backbone of the Indian economy. Ploughing was done by bullocks and cow dung was being used as manure.

2. During the 1950s and 1960s, the ever increasing population of India and several natural calamities led to a severe food crisis. As a result, the government was forced to import foodgrains from foreign countries. To increase food security, the government had to increase food production. Several hectares of land were brought under cultivation. Hybrid seeds were introduced. Natural and organic fertilisers were replaced by chemical fertilisers and locally made pesticides were replaced by chemical pesticides. As time went by, extensive dependence on chemical farming has led to loss of land fertility. Pests are becoming immune, requiring the farmers to use stronger and costlier pesticides. Due to increased cost of farming, farmers are falling into the trap of moneylenders, who are exploiting them no end and forcing many to commit suicide. Both consumers and farmers are now gradually shifting back to organic farming in India. It is believed by many that organic farming is healthier. Consumers are willing to pay higher prices for the same. Many farmers in India are shifting to organic farming due to the domestic and international demand for organic food.

1.1 Attempt any eight of the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read.
(i) Where were the fertilisers, pesticides etc obtained from in traditional India ? (1)
(ii) What were the uses of Bullocks and cow dung in traditional India? (1)
(iii) Why was the government forced to import foodgrains from foreign countries? (1)
(iv) What has increased the cost of farming? (1)
(v) Why do farmers commit suicide? (1)
(vi) What was the reason behind rejection of Indian food consignments by foreign countries? (1)
(vii) How much land is under organic farming and how many organic farms are there in India? (1)
(viii) What could be a healthier and better alternative to chemical farming? (1)
(ix) What led to severe food crisis in India during 1950s and 1960s.

Question 2.
Read the passage given below. (12)
1. It is well known now that addressing the problem of climate change requires lifestyle changes. Some solutions might be difficult but others are not so. Consider handicrafts for instance. A range of jute products – handbags, office bags, table cloth and decorative wall hangings can replace many utility and decorative pieces produced in factories. Utility and decorative items made by skilled artisans using bamboo, different kinds of grass and leaves are equally graceful and artistic.

2. Most states in India have hundreds of such biodegradable handicraft items. The classic Odishi paintings from Odisha, the delicate woodwork of Bastar, the bamboo products from the North-East, the fine metal work from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka,
Terracotta and Kalighat paintings from West Bengal, the Chikankari work of Uttar Pradesh, the Madhubani paintings from Bihar, miniature paintings from Bundi, the Batua craft of Bhopal and the Kangra paintings from Himachal Pradesh are some examples of India’s thriving craft traditions. Such a rich legacy notwithstanding,
India’s share in global handicraft market is only 2 percent. The country’s Export Promotion Council is alive to such concerns. It has pegged the handicrafts export target at 25000 crore per annum by 2018. On the face of it, the target does not seem unrealistic.

3. Eco-friendly products are regarded savvy in the West and the developed world. This could work to the benefit of India’s more than five million artisans provided we have the right policy. But nurturing age-old skill amid commercialisation might not be easy. Selling handicrafts is easy but preserving the age-old skill is difficult. History is testimony to the fact that mass production is inimical to the artisan’s skill.

4. The market too demands diversity. But in the mad rush to produce for the market, the
artisan does not get the time and support for quality and innovation. The design of mass produced items has been watered down or averaged to a level where idiosyncrasy has almost disappeared, and often is not valued. Artisanal production is contingent on moment by moment decisions, on innovations. In modern times, this has given way to rules, standards and procedures. So, a number of artisans have lost the ability to create unique pieces in response to varying needs. The government must identify senior artisans and give them the wherewithal and the time to bring innovation. (382 words)

Answer 2.
2.1
(i) The key message given through the passage is the grim situation of artisans in India.

Artisans are losing the ability to create unique pieces in response to varying needs.

Privatisation of Electricity Distribution is Necessary
by Amita, Class IX-A

Frequent power cuts are due to faulty planning, faulty distribution systems and massive power theft due to incompetence and corruption in the government agencies distributing electric power. The only solution to electricity woes is privatisation of distribution. Privatisation will ensure proper distribution of electricity due to the private players ensuring that there are no power thefts due to unauthorised connections. Private players work with a motive of profit and thus will not allow power thieves to go scot-free. This will ensure adequate power being available to authorised consumers, reducing power cuts drastically. Power companies will ensure that less power is wasted, as power wasted will be a total loss for them. They will also ensure efficient billing and better overall working of the electricity distribution system. They have money and power in their hand to impose a heavy fine on someone who will have been caught in electricity theft. Even people understand it very well that government will not interfere in their matter after the privatisation of electricity distribution because they, will also get a huge amount of tender in respect of privatisation.

Do you have a silver key?” The traveller, who was quite intelligent, got the hint and pushed a rupee coin under the door. The keeper opened the door and let him in.
