Questions (101 to105) : Read the following
passage and answer the questions that
follow.
‘I’ve had a most amazing time...’
So begins the Time Traveller’s astonishing
first hand account of his journey 800,000
years beyond his own era – and the story
that launched H.G. Wells’ successful career
and earned him his reputation as the father
of science fiction. With a speculative leap that
still fires the imagination, Wells sends his
brave explorer to face a future burdened with
our greatest hopes and our darkest fears. A
pull of the Time Machine’s lever propels him
to the age of a slowly dying earth. There he
discovers two bizarre races – the ethereal
Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks – who
not only symbolise the duality of human
nature, but offer a terrifying portrait of the men
of tomorrow as well.
Although it clocks in at less than 150 pages
long, H.G. Wells’ ‘The Time Machine’
published in 1895, is still one of the most
influential science fiction novels ever written.
Not only is it the first book to popularise the
notion of time travel, it is also one of the first
works to help bring the genre of Sci-Fi to
mainstream fiction fans.
This science fiction novella has since then
been adapted into two feature films of the
same name, as well as two television
versions, and a large number of comic book
adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired
many other works of fiction in many media
and will continue to enthrall readers for
generations to come.

(1) it was published in 1895.

Questions 106 – 110 : Read the following
passage and answer the questions given
after it.
Sparrows can be seen on every continent
on Earth. This small bird originates from
North Africa, but it has been successfully
introduced to North America, Europe, Asia,
Australia and New Zealand. Sparrow,
unlike many other birds, cannot be found
in forests and deserts. It prefers life close to
human settlements, including both urban
and rural areas. Number of sparrows
decreased dramatically in the last couple
of years for unknown reasons. Three
quarters of sparrows disappeared from the
London between 1994 and 2000. Due to
the fast decline in number of sparrows, this
bird is listed as threatened in UK. Sparrow
has stout body, covered with brown, black
and white feathers. Its wings are rounded.
Males and females can be distinguished by
the feather colouration. They are very social
and live in colonies called flocks. These
birds are carnivores by nature, but they have
changed their eating habits when they
learned to live close to people. Sparrows
primarily eat moths and other small insects,
but they can also eat seed, berries and fruit.
One of the reasons why sparrows adapted
to the life in human settlements is constant
supply of food. They easily learned to eat
‘served food’ when people started to build
bird feeders. Main predators of sparrows are
dogs, cats, foxes and snakes. Young and
inexperienced birds are the main target and
easy meal for these carnivores. Sparrows
are not territorial animals, but they will
aggressively protect their nest from other
sparrows. They usually build nest under the
roofs, under bridges and in tree hollows.
