Directions (66-80):Read the following passages and answer the questions given below each ofthem. 76. PASSAGE-ATo those who do listen, the desert speaks of things with an emphasis quitedifferent from that of the shore, the mountain, the valley or the plains.Whereas these invite action and suggest limitless opportunity and exhaustlessresources, the implications and the mood of the desert are somethingdifferent. For one thing, the. desert is conservative, not radical. It is more likelyto provoke awe than to invite conquest. The heroism which it encourages is theheroism of endurance, not that of conquest. It brings man up against hislimitations, turns him in upon himself and suggests values which moreindulgent regions suppress. Sometimes it induces contemplation in men whohave never contemplated before. And of all the answers to the question - whatis a desert good for - contemplation is perhaps the best. 77. 66 Problem In order to receive the deserts message the be-holder needs to be a. Courageous in his reaction b. Conservative in his responses c. A good listener d. Sensitive to nature 78. 67 Problem The desert is unique among landscapes in that it encourages only a. Contemplation b. Indolence c. Heroic Endeavour d. Adventurous spirit 79. 68 Problem If one responds with insight to the mood of the desert, it evokes a. An inclination for deep thought b. The possibility of unending resources c. The desire for heroic conquest d. A sense of intense revulsion 80. 69 Problem The writer calls the desert conservative rather than radical because it provides an environment that a. Inspires man to explore it b. Offers unlimited opportunity to conquer c. Tests ones endurance d. Makes one gloomy 81. 70 Problem What does the phrase "it brings man up against his limitations," mean? a. It makes man feel hopeless about his limitations b. It makes man aware of his limitations c. It compels man to fight against his limitations d. It dissuades man from overcoming his limitations. 82. PASSAGE-BThe best way of understanding our own civilization is to take an ordinary sort ofday in the life of an ordinary sort of man, myself, for instance and to see what hedoes. My home is in London. I get up in the morning when an alarm clock ringson the table by my bed. It is quite a complicated machine and works perfectly. Iget into a hot bath, the water for which has been heated by gas. The gas issupplied to me by the Gas Board for the area in which I live; it is part of nationalsystem. The water is supplied by the City Water Board. After bathing, I shave-thewater for my shave comes from a kettle which has been heated by electricity. Asfar as I am concerned, what happens is very simple: I put a plug in **the walland put on the switch and the electricity does the rest. I use a safety razor, theblade of which, made of very finely tempered steel, has been cut, together withmillions of other blades, by machines, the clothes which I put on have also beenspun and woven largely by steam or electrically driven machines. 83. 71 Problem The T in this passage represents a.

A semi-urbanised society d. A socialist society 88. PASSAGE-CThe idea of evolution (which is gradual change) was not a new one. The Greekshad thought of it, so had Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin,and also the Frenchman, Lamarch. It is one thing to have an idea; we can allguess and sometimes make a lucky guess. It is quite another thing to produce aproofof the correctness of that idea. Darwin thought he had that proof in hisnotebooks. He saw that all animals had to struggle to survive. Those whichwere best at surviving their environment passed on the good qualities whichhelped them to their descendants. This was called the survival of the fittest.For example, in a cold climate, those who have the warmest fur will live.Darwin believedthatthis necessity for an animal to deal with its environmentexplained the immense variety of creatures. 89. 76 Problem At the time that Darwin arrived on the scene, the idea of evolution a. Was an unheard of idea b. Had already been proved beyond doubt c. Had been thought of but not proved d. Was not thought fit for exploration 90. 77 Problem According to Darwinian thought, the world of ani-mals is marked by a. Peaceful coexistence b. A struggle for survival c.
