Section A 
READING  [20] 
A 1. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.                             10 
1. It went totally unnoticed, World Food Day on October 16. The day is meant to highlight the 
plight of the hungry, the undernourished and the malnourished of the world. Particularly 
the plight of children of the poor, among whom the girl child, as usual is the worst off. India 
ranks high in the number of people unable to get the minimum calorie requirements of 
each day. 
2. True, we have some of the best software engineers in the world. True that we produce 
enough food grains to feed all our people, if so much were not lost in transportation and 
storage of food. But the real truth is that the number of people who go to bed hungry every 
night is around 300 million. 
3. The irony here is that the people who work to grow food  are the ones who mainly go  
hungry. With around 600 million people living in rural areas, around 400 million of them 
depend on agriculture for sustenance and with the rural population increasing at around 15 
million a year, the pressure on land and demand for food is outpacing supply year after 
year. 
4. The UN report released on the occasion of World Food Day gives details of what hunger 
does to the individual, the family and society as a whole. It says: 
5. “Women do not always have the same access  to food as men, which not only affects their 
health but also the future development and growth of their children. In the case of food 
shortages, which is often the case in some families, men have preferential access to food.” 
6. Without adequate nutrition, individuals, families, and societies face several adverse 
consequences. Hunger debilitates people physically, physiologically and psychologically 
and they get trapped in a vicious cycle of hunger- low productivity-poverty-hunger. 
Laziness is said to be the reason for an individual’s low productivity. It is lethargy, 
however, and not laziness that makes people unproductive. Lethargy is a combination of 
factors such as low energy intake, undernourishment and behavioral adaptations to 
conserve energy. These are the people who cannot be productive even if they try hard. 
7. “Seven out of ten of the world’s poor are women and girls. Therefore, a focus on women is 
essentially a focus on the poorest. There is strong evidence that empowering women is 
the surest way to reduce poverty. In households facing continuous hunger, even babies in 
mothers’ wombs, the newborn and young children do not receive the required nutrition. 
This results in inadequate development of physical and mental capacities in the new 
generation. A physically and mentally weak new generation is doomed to perpetuate the 
hunger-poverty cycle. What maternal malnutrition can do to a child is devastating. It is a

A.2 Read the passage carefully. 
Wolves have been persecuted for centuries. Human attitude will determine whether our top 
predators can survive in the twenty-first century. Most people have lost their traditional knowledge 
of how to cope with large carnivores and of how humans and predators can coexist. Local people 
can actually benefit from working with carnivores. By promoting eco-tourism, a country’s tourist 
industry can be extended. Understandably, there is concern about livestock casualties but 
throughout history shepherds have effectively used traditional guarding methods with dogs, and 
sheep and cattle have been protected by being put in pens at night. 
Public awareness is needed to counteract the view of wolves as wicked, cunning  and merciless. 
This negative image is fuelled by popular mythology and children’s stories and is based more on 
fear than on fact.  
Wolves are actually social, timid animals that avoid contact with humans. Wolf attacks are 
extremely rare but shedding their bloodthirsty reputation involves public education on many 
levels. These include educational visits to their habitat, publicity in the international media and the 
distribution of literature. 
Tick the most appropriate answer.       [5 marks]

 Pirate movies returned in a big way with Johny Depp. He stars in Pirates of the Caribbean:       
The curse of the Black Pearl and also in its sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. 
After 40 or more years, pirate movies are popular again. 
But long before there were movies, there were other forms of entertainment, such as plays, 
operas and books. In 1880, fans of comic opera fell in love with Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera, The 
Pirates of Pezance. There years later, Robert Louis Stevenson published his wonderful 
adventure, Treasure Island. That was soon followed by another novel, Kidnapped. 
When films came along, so did pirate movies. Douglas Fairbanks was famous as a 
swashbuckling hero because he starred in the silent movie, The Black Pirate. Later, Errol Flynn 
acted in Captain Blood and Adventures of Captain Fabian. 
Even the comic actors Bud Abbot and Lou Costello got into the act with Abbot and Costello Meet 
Captain Kidd, and in 1958 Yul Brynner played in The Buccaneer. But during the 1960s there were 
fewer and fewer pirate films- until Johny Depp made them popular again.
