A. Even a leisurely game like cricket, demanding grace rather than strength, can cause much
ill-will, as we saw in the controversy over body-line bowling and over the rough tactics of the
Australian team that visited England in 1921. Football, a game in which everyone gets hurt
and every nation has its own style of play which seems unfair to foreigners, is far worse.
Worst of all is boxing. One of the most horrible sights in the world is a flight between white
and coloured boxers before a mixed audience. But a boxing audience is always disgusting,
and the behavior of the women, in particular, is such that the army, I believe, does not allow
them to attend its contests. At any rate, two or three years ago, when Home Guards and
regular troops were holding a boxing tournament, I was placed on guard at the door of the
hall, with orders to keep the women out.
21. Football is far worse.
A) True B) False
C) Might be D) None

boxers before a mixed audience.

C) May be D) None

24. The ------------ can cause much ill-will

A) Olympics B) Boxing
C) Cricket D) Foot Ball

25. The behavior of the ----------- is worst in boxing.

A) Audience B) Women
C) Boxers D) Men

B. Even in the English public schools the games cult did not start till the later parts of the last
century. Dr. Arnold, generally regarded as the founder of the modern public school, looked
on games as simply a waste of time. Then, chiefly in England and the United States, games
were built up into a heavily financed activity, capable of attracting vast crowds and rousing
savage passions, and the infection spread from country to country. It is the most violently
5
 combative sports, football and boxing, that have spread the widest. There cannot be much
doubt that the whole thing is bound up with the rise of nationalism-that is, with the lunatic
modern habit of identifying oneself with large power units and seeing everything in terms of
competitive prestige. Also, organized games are more likely to flourish in urban communities
where the average human being lives a sedentary or at least a confined life, and do not get
much opportunity for creative labour. In a rustic community a boy or young man works off a
good deal of his surplus energy by walking, swimming, snowballing, climbing trees, riding
horses, and by various sports involving cruelty to animals, such as fishing, cook-fighting and
ferreting for rats. In a big town one must indulge in group activities if one wants an outlet for
one’s physical strength or for one’s sadistic impulse.
26. Dr. Arnold is -----------------
A) Educationalist B) Scientist
C) Entrepreneur D) Chairman of Olympics

27. The most violently ------------- sports are football and boxing.
A) Aggressive B) Competitive
C) Combative D) Constructive

28 The modern habit of people are identifying ---------------

A) Fault B) Esteem
C) Envy D) similarities

29. Creativity is a/an ----------------.

A) Development B) Progress
C) Opportunity D) Uniqueness

30. In ---------Community, sadistic impulses are shown in group activities

A) Urban B) Rustic
C) Educated D) Cultivated

B. To the layman it seems as if science were facing a vast dilemma. Science is the search for
truth, and it is based on the glorious faith that truth is worth discovering. It springs from the
noblest attribute of the human spirit. But it is this same search for truth that has brought our
civilization to the brink of destruction; and we are confronted by the tragic irony that when we
have been most successful in pushing out the boundaries of knowledge, we have most
endangered the possibility of human life on this planet. The pursuit of truth has at last led us
to the tools by which we can ourselves become the destroyers of our own institutions and all
the bright hopes of the race. In this situation what do we do – curb our science or cling to the
pursuit of truth and run the risk of having our society torn to pieces?

31. The Layman is a ------------- man.
A) Common B) Uneducated
C) Technical D) Professional

A) Mutual B) Splendid
C) Inglorious D) Ignoble

33 We have most endangered the possibility of human life on this planet. We here refers to the

C) People D) Layman

34. The pursuit of truth has at last led us to the tools by which we can ourselves become the
destroyers of our own institutions and all the bright hopes of the race.
A) Community B) Society
C) Colours D) Layman

35. ------------ has brought our civilization to the brink of destruction

A) Science B) Research
C) Truth D) Technology

C. I suspect that the way out of the dilemma is not as simple as the questions now being asked
seem to imply. The good and the evil that flow from scientific research are more often then
not indistinguishable at the point of origin. Generally they are by products, or they represent
distortions of original purpose, none of which could have been foreseen when the initial
discovery was made. We are driven back to a question of human motives and desires.
Science has recently given us radar, jet propulsion and power sources of unprecedented
magnitude. What does society want to do with them? It can use them constructively to
increases the happiness of mankind or it can employ them to tear the world to pieces. There
is scarcely a scientific formula or a process or a commodity which cannot be used for war
purposes, if that is what we elect to do with it. In brief, the gifts of science can be used by evil
men to do evil even more obviously and dramatically than they can be used by men of
goodwill to do good.
36. At one point of origin, the good and the evil are------------------.
A) B) not similar
C) D) indistinguishable
37. Generally they are by products. “They” refer to-------------------
A) B) Progress

7

Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little
meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no
feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as
soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be
disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even
in a school football match knows this. At the international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But
the significant thing is not the behaviour of the player but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind
the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and
seriously believe-at any rate for short periods-that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of
national virtue.
21. “Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive.” Here competitive means
a. fair competition b. savage competition c. gracious competition d. skillful competition

Read the following passage and answer the questions (29 – 32) [4 x 0.5 = 2]

The pursuit of truth has at last led us to the tools by which we can ourselves become the destroyers of
our own institutions and all the bright hopes of the race. In this situation what do we do – curb our
science or cling to the pursuit of truth and run the risk of having our society torn to pieces? It is on the
basis of this dilemma that serious questions are forming in the public mind. Unless research is linked
to a human and constructive purpose, should it not be subject to some kind of restraint? Can our
scientists afford to be concerned solely with fact and not at all with value and purpose? Can they
legitimately claim that their only aim is the advancement of knowledge regardless of its
consequences? Is the layman justified in saying to the scientists: ‘We look to you to distinguish
between that truth which furthers the well-being of mankind and that truth which threatens it? One of
the scientists who played a leading role in the development of the atomic bomb said to the
newspapermen: ‘A scientist cannot hold back progress because of fears of what the world will do with
his discoveries’.

Answer the questions based on the passage (33 – 36) [ 4 x 0.5 = 2 ]

The towering enemy of mankind is not science but war. Science merely reflects the social forces by
which it is surrounded. When there is peace, science is constructive; when there is war, science is
perverted to destructive ends. The weapons which science gives us do not necessarily create war; they
make war increasingly more terrible, until now it has brought us to the doorstep of doom. Our main
problem therefore, is not to curb science but to stop war to substitute law for force and international
government for anarchy in the relations of one nation with another.

33. Among the following words which doesn’t carry the correct meaning for Towering enemy ?
a. greatest enemy b. powerful enemy c. predominant enemy
d. silent enemy
34. Anarchy means
a. abiding law b. abiding order c. lawlessness d. obedience

Read the following passage and answer the questions (34 – 37)
[ 4 x 0.5 = 2 ]
When Einstein wrote his famous transformation equation in 1905 he was not thinking of the atomic
bomb, but out of the equation came one of the principles upon which the bomb was based. Willard
Gibbs was a gentle spirit whose life was spent in his laboratory at Yale University, and who never
dreamed that his work in mathematical physics might have even a remote relationship to war; and yet
it is safe to say that his ideas gave added power to the armaments of all nations in both World War I
and World War II. I suspect that the way out of the dilemma is not as simple as the questions now
being asked seem to imply. The good and the evil that flow from scientific research are more often
than not indistinguishable at the point of origin. Generally they are by products, or they represent
distortions of original purpose, none of which could have been foreseen when the initial discovery
was made. We are driven back to a question of human motives and desires. Science has recently given
us radar, jet propulsion and power sources of unprecedented magnitude. What does society want to do

widest. There cannot be much doubt that the whole thing is bound up with the rise of nationalism-that is,
with the lunatic modern habit of identifying oneself with large power units and seeing everything in terms
of competitive prestige. Also, organized games are more likely to flourish in urban communities where the
average human being lives a sedentary or at least a confined life, and do not get much opportunity for
creative labour. In a rustic community a boy or young man works off a good deal of his surplus energy by
walking, swimming, snowballing, climbing trees, riding horses, and by various sports involving cruelty to
animals, such as fishing, cook-fighting and ferreting for rats. In a big town one must indulge in group
activities if one wants an outlet for one’s physical strength or for one’s sadistic impulse.

C. To the layman it seems as if science were facing a vast dilemma. Science is the search for truth, and it is
based on the glorious faith that truth is worth discovering. It springs from the noblest attribute of the human
spirit. But it is this same search for truth that has brought our civilization to the brink of destruction; and we
are confronted by the tragic irony that when we have been most successful in pushing out the boundaries of
knowledge, we have most endangered the possibility of human life on this planet. The pursuit of truth has at
14
 last led us to the tools by which we can ourselves become the destroyers of our own institutions and all the
bright hopes of the race. In this situation what do we do – curb our science or cling to the pursuit of truth
and run the risk of having our society torn to pieces?

35. ------------ has brought our civilization to the brink of destruction
a) Truth b) Technology c) Research d) Science
c) I suspect that the way out of the dilemma is not as simple as the questions now being asked seem to imply.
The good and the evil that flow from scientific research are more often then not indistinguishable at the point
of origin. Generally they are by products, or they represent distortions of original purpose, none of which
could have been foreseen when the initial discovery was made. We are driven back to a question of human
motives and desires. Science has recently given us radar, jet propulsion and power sources of unprecedented
magnitude. What does society want to do with them? It can use them constructively to increases the happiness
of mankind or it can employ them to tear the world to pieces. There is scarcely a scientific formula or a
process or a commodity which cannot be used for war purposes, if that is what we elect to do with it. In brief,
the gifts of science can be used by evil men to do evil even more obviously and dramatically than they can be
used by men of goodwill to do good.

Discipline is of the utmost importance in student life. If the young students do not obey
their superiors and go without discipline, they will be deprive do much of the training
they should have at this period and in future they will never be able to extract
obedience from other sin the society. Society will never accept them as persons fit for
commanding and taking up any responsible positions in life. So it is the bounder. Duty
of all the students to observe discipline in the preparatory stage of their life. A college
without discipline can never impart suitable education to students. The rule of
discipline in the playground and the battle field as well plays a very important role. A
team without discipline may not fare well in spite of good players for want of mutual
understanding and cooperation. In any army everyone from the rank of the general
down to the ranks of an ordinary soldier must observe discipline. In case a soldier
does not obey his immediate superior the army becomes a rabble quite unfit for the
achievement of the common ends of war. At first sight it may appear to us that
discipline takes away individual liberty. But on analysis it is found that it does not do
so, for liberty is not license. We find disciplined liberty at the root of all kinds of human
happiness.
