21. Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

Passage -Spiders are not insects as many people believe. They belong to a class of animals called arachnids. Spiders have eight eyes, four pairsof segmented legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. They do not have antenna or wings. A spider’s body can be divided into two sections. The sections are the abdomen and the cephalothorax. The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are in the cephalothorax section. Most spiders have poison glands and fangs in their jaws, which they use to inject poison into insects. This poison is called venom. Venom can paralyze an insect allowing the spider to eat the insect as food. Spiders can live almost anywhere in the world. Some like very humid or hot temperatures and some like places that are very dry. Some spiders prefer to live under ground and others live in trees. We have all seen spiders that prefer to live in our houses. These amazing animals usually have six fingerlike silk glands called spinnerets located beneath their abdomen. The silk comes from inside the spider’s body as a liquid that is thicker than water. A spider uses this silk to make a web by squeezing the silk out of two small holes at the back of its body. These small holes are called spinnerets. At the time the silk hits the air, the silk dries into a line that looks like a long string of hair. Spiders use this silk as draglines to hang onto as the wind blows it through the air. The spider can crawl up or down on this dragline if the wind takes it somewhere it doesn’t want to be. Young spiders and adult male spiders like ballooning and can release long silken threads that float or ride in the wind to new areas.

There are about 30,000 different types of spiders known to scientists. Most of them are very tiny animals that help us by eating insects. The next time you are out in the yard and see a spider, take a few minutes to watch this most interesting animal.

Which of the following is NOT true?

A . The legs, eyes, and mouthparts of the spider are located in the abdomen section.B . Spiders have eight eyes and four pairs of segmented legs.C. Spiders can live almost anywhere in the world.D. Most spiders have fangs and poison glands located in their jaws.


Passage -Water covers most of our planet. It can be found in oceans, lakes, and ponds, and in the ground itself. The cycle of water from liquid to vapour to solid is called the water cycle. The water cycle is an exciting and continuous process, with no beginning or end. The water cycle is the movement of water in the environment by evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

The warm sun causes liquid water to evaporate (to change from a liquid into a gas or vapour) and rise up into the sky. The water vapours that are formed cool during evaporation. These cooled water vapours form clouds in the sky. The transformation of the vapour into clouds (that is, from a gas into a liquid) is condensation. Clouds can be a mass of water droplets and/or ice particles. When the clouds get heavy enough, the water falls back to the ground in the form of rain, snow, or hail. This is precipitation. Plants in our environment contain water in a liquid form. They release water vapour into the atmosphere. When plants do this it is called transpiration. Transpiration is a kind of evaporation.

What causes evaporation?

A . The warm sun and photosynthesis.B . Perspiration and precipitation.C. Rain and snow.D. The sun and transpiration.

23. Read the story given below and answer the following question:

Passage -Harris was riding a bicycle with his wife through Holland. The roads were stony, and the machine jumped a good deal. ‘Sit tight,’ saidHarris, without turning his head. Mrs. Harris thought he said, ‘Jump off.’ Mrs. Harris did jump off; while Harris pedaled away hard, thinking that she was still behind him. At first she thought he was riding up the hill just to show off.

She expected him to jump off when he reached the top of the hill, and lean in a careless and graceful manner against the bicycle, waiting for her. When she saw him pass the top of the hill and cycle rapidly down the other side, she was quite alarmed. She ran to the top of the hill and shouted, but he never turned his head. She watched him disappear into a wood a mile and a half away, and then

sat down and cried.

She had no money and she knew no Dutch. People passed, and seemed sorry for her. She tried to make them understand what had happened. They gathered that she had lost something, but could not grasp what. They took her to the nearest village, and found a policeman for her. From the signs she made, the policeman thought that some man had stolen her bicycle. They found a boy driving a lady’s bicycle about four miles away. They brought him to her in a cart, but as Mrs. Harris did not want either him or his bicycle, they let him go again.

Meanwhile, Harris continued his ride with much enjoyment. It seems to him that he had suddenly become a stronger cyclist. “1 haven’t felt this machine so light for months. It’s this air, I think. It’s doing me good,” he said. Then he told his wife not to be afraid, and he would show her how fast he could go.

He sped merrily on for about five miles. Then, the feeling began to grow upon him that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand behind him and felt there was nothing there. He jumped, or rather fell off, and looked back up the road. It stretched white and straight and not a living soul could be seen on it.

Harris was in a panic. He asked several people, but nobody could understand anything that he was saying except that he seemed to have lost a lady. A young man suggested the police station at the next town. Harris made his way there.

The police gave him a piece of paper, and told him to write down a full description of his wife, together with the details of when and where he had lost her. He did not know where he had lost her- all he could tell them was the name of the village where he had his lunch. He knew he had her with him then, and they had started from there together.

With the help of a hotel-keeper, who spoke a little English, the police were able to make out what he wanted. In the evening they brought her to him in a covered wagon, together with a bill of expenses. She was very angry! (Adapted from Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K. Jerome)

Why could people not grasp what Mrs. Harris was trying to tell them?

A . Because she had no money.B . Because she could not speak Dutch.C. Because she could not speak.D. Because she could not speak English.


Passage -A long time ago, when animals could talk, there lived in a forest four wise creatures -a hare, a jackal, an otter and a monkey.

They were good friends, and every evening they would sit together in a forest glade to discuss the events of the day, exchange advice and make good resolutions. The hare was the noblest and wisest of the four. He believed in the superiority of men and women, and was always telling his friends tales of human goodness and wisdom.

One evening, when the moon rose in the sky, and those days the moon’s face was clear and unmarked, the hare looked up at it carefully and said, “Tomorrow good men will observe a fast, for I can see that it will be the middle of the month. They will eat no food before sunset, and during the day they will give alms to any beggar or holy man who may meet them. Let us promise to do the same. In that way, we can come a little closer to human beings in dignity and respect.”

The others agreed, and then went their different ways.Next day, the otter got up, stretched himself, and was preparing to get his breakfast when he remembered the vow he had taken with his friends.

“If I keep my word, how hungry I shall be by evening!” he thought. “I’d better make sure that there’s plenty to eat once the fast is over.” He set off towards the river.

A fisherman had caught several large fish early that morning, and had buried them in the sand, planning to return for them later. The otter soon smelt them out.

“A supper all ready for me,” he said to himself. “But since it’s a holy day, I mustn’t steal.” Instead he called out, “Does anyone own this fish?”

There being no answer, the otter carried the fish off to his home, setting it aside for his evening meal.

- Ruskin Bond (from The Hare in the Moon)

A . He would have enough food in the evening.B . He could throw a party for his friends.C. He could give it to the animals who were hungry.D. He could eat it for breakfast.



She expected him to jump off when he reached the top of the hill, and lean in a careless and graceful manner against the bicycle, waiting for her. When she saw him pass the top of the hill and cycle rapidly down the other side, she was quite alarmed. She ran to the top of the hill and shouted, but he never turned his head. She watched him disappear into a wood a mile and a half away, and thensat down and cried.

Mars gets its reddish colour from the high amount of iron oxide on its surface.Mars is also home to Olympus Mons, the highest discovered mountain in the solar system.Mars’ Valles Marineris is the solar system’s largest canyon, measuring more than seven miles deep.Mars has an extremely thin atmosphere which gives rise to fearsome dust storms that may envelop the entire planet and cause overall temperatures to rise. 95% of it is carbon dioxide, 3% is nitrogen, 1.6% is argon, and the remainder consists of traces of oxygen and water.Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Because Phobos has a particularly low orbit, scientists believe it will eventually crash into Mars, or, break up into pieces, possibly forming rings around the planet like Saturn.There has long been speculation concerning the possibility of life and or liquid water on Mars but scientists think this water would be too salty or acidic to support life.Many spacecraft have attempted to visit Mars, the most notable of which was NASA’s Mariner 4, the first to visit in a flyby ml 965. In 1976, Viking 1 and 2 became the first spacecrafts to conduct successful and sustained landings on Mars.
