SAMPLE QUESTION PAPER

CLASS-VIII

SECTION-A

COMPREHENSION

Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: (1x5=5)

On Dec. 26, 2004, nature shocked us. It was a black day for the world. Nature blinded us by

unleashing the demon named as Tsunami, which came to life through a gigantic earthquake in

the Indian Ocean. It affected countries from Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia to India,

Bangladesh, Maldives and even France, Kenya and Somalia. The worst in four decades, It

battered an endless coastline of the south and south-east Asia, with the toll nearing some 2,

00,000 of which some 11,500 deaths are in India alone. The word ‘Tsunami’ comes from the

Japanese words ‘Tsui (harbour) and `Namr (wave). About 80% of all tsunamis occurred; n the

Pacific Ocean and Japan have suffered many times. Tsunamis could be better described as a

wave train, or series of waves caused in a sea or ocean by submarine earthquakes. These killer

waves of nature which occurred on the fateful Sunday could be generated when the water was

disturbed by the uplift or subsidence of the seafloor. Cape Lopata in Siberia witnessed the

highest tsunami ever recorded, in 1737. The wave rose 210 ft. above sea level. Another

demoniac tsunami waves more than seven stories tall, engulfed whole villages along Sanriku,

Japan in 1896 drowning almost 26,000 people. We can only pray to Mother Nature not to show

this cruelty to us.

On the bases of the reading of the above passage answer the following questions briefly:

(a) Why is Dec.26, 2004 a black day for the world?

(b) What does Tsunami mean?

(c) What happened in 1737?

(d) Can anything be done about Tsunami?

(e) Find words from the passage which means same as — immense, devilish

Q2. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Have you ever wondered how it comes about that in the newspapers or on the radio we hear so

quickly about events that have occurred in distant parts? By wireless it is possible to send a

message around the world in a fraction of a second, so why should we not be told by the

newsreader what has happened only an hour ago, say, in Moscow? It is not so simple as it

sounds. How is the news sent to the newspaper offices all over the country and to the B.B.C., so

that it can be served ‘hot’ (as the newspaper man say) at our breakfast tables and from our loud-

speakers?Unless it was the business of certain people to distribute news while still ‘hot’, it

would take much longer to get to us. If you look at a newspaper you will see that most of the

Page 2: SAMPLE QUESTION PAPER CLASS-VIII SECTION-A … · SAMPLE QUESTION PAPER CLASS-VIII SECTION-A COMPREHENSION Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: (1x5=5)

items of news indicate where they come from. At the head of some of them is printed: ‘From

our own correspondent’. This means that the newspaper has a man or woman belonging to its

staff ‘covering’ certain happenings, and sending in ‘exclusive’ reports to the newspaper office,

Messages ‘from our own correspondent’ are usually concerned with important happenings

which were foreseen so that correspondence could be sent to cover them.O r they are from some

important city, where the newspapers consider it worthwhile to employ a reporter or

correspondent permanently. At the end of other news, ‘stories’ there may be printed ‘Associated

Press’, or, most commonly, the world ‘Rueter’. These are news agencies. News agencies are

firms whose business is to collect news and sell it to newspapers and radio systems all over the

world. Even the greatest newspapers and broadcasting systems cannot afford to have

correspondents everywhere, so it is obvious that the news agencies are very useful to them.

On the bases of the reading of the above passage answer the following questions

briefly:

(i) Name the two sources from where we get instant

information.

(ii) Explain the term’ news served

hot’.

(iii) What is the function of the news

agencies?

(iv) What does the term ‘our own correspondent’ mean?

Find the words from the passage which mean similar as the following words indicated:

(i)hand out or share out (para-2)

(ii)related( para-3)
