READING COMPREHENSION(41-45):
The strength of the electronics industry in Japan is the Japanese ability to organise production and
marketing rather than their achievements in original research. The British are generally recognised as a far
more inventive collection of individuals, but never seem able to exploit what they invent. There are many
examples, from the TSR Z hovercraft, high speed train and Sinclair scooter to the Triumph, BSA and
Norton Motorcycle which all prove this sad rule. The Japanese were able to exploits their strengths in
marketing and development many years ago, and their success was at first either not understood in the
West or was dismissed as something which could have been produced only at their low price. They were
sold because they were cheap copies of other people's ideas churned out of a workhouse which was
dedicated to hard grind above all else.

The most important reason for this state of affairs, perhaps, is that India was the only country in
the world to truly recognise the achievements of the Soviet Union-rather than merely focus on the
debilitating faults that Communism brought to its people. The people of India realised that the
achievement of one hundred per cent literacy in a country much, much larger than its own and with
similarly complicated ethnic and religious groupings, the rapid industrialization of a nation that was a
primarily agrarian society when the Bolshevik revolution took place in 1917, the attendant revolutionary
steps in science and technology, the accessibility of health care (primeval according to Western standards,
perhaps, but not according to Indian ones) to the general population, and despite prohibition of the
government of the time the vast outpourings in literature, music, art, etc. are momentous and remarkable
feats in any country. In contrast, all that the West focused on were the massive human rights violations by
the Soviet State on its people, the deliberate uprooting and mass migrations of ethnic peoples from one
part of the country to another in the name of industrialization, the end of religion. In short, all the tools of
information were employed to condemn the ideology of Communism, so much at variance with capitalist
thinking. The difference with the Indian perception, I think here is, that while the Indians reacted as
negatively to what the Soviet governments did to its people in the name of good governance (witness the
imprisonment of Boris Pasternak and the formation of an international committee to put pressure for his
release with Jawaharlal Nehru at its head), they took the pain not to condemn the people of that broad
country in black and white terms; they understood that mingled in the shades of grey were grains of
uniqueness (The Russians have never failed that characteristic in themselves; they have twice
experimented with completely different ideologies, Communism and Capitalism both in the space of a
century).
42. Which of the following statements according to the passage is correct?
A. India took heed on the weak faults of Russian policies and system
B. India seriously commended the achievement of Russia, i.e.. cent per cent literacy and rapid
industrialization
C. The process of industrialization had already started when Russian revolution took place in 1917
D. The literature, art and music received a setback during the communist regime in Russia
43. The West did not focus on:
A. rapid growth of nuclear weapons in Russia
B. Massive human rights violation by the Soviet state on its people
C. deliberate uprooting and mass migration of ethnic people in the name of industrialization.
D. Both B & C
44. The India perception of the USSR was always
A. negative B. neutral C. counter-reactionary D. applauding
45. The passage is :

Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is
conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics.
By contrast, in musical theater an actor's dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser
role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theater such as scenery, costumes,

accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic
orchestra.

Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning
sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize
that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when
they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some
scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they
communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent
than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill
them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover
about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.
41. It is clear from the passage that dolphins ----.
A) don't want to be with us as much as we want to be with them
B) are proven to be less intelligent than once thought
C) have a reputation for being friendly to humans
D) are the most powerful creatures that live in the oceans
E) are capable of learning a language and communicating with humans
42. The fact that the writer of the passage thinks that we can kill dolphins more easily than they can kill us
----.
A) means that they are better adapted to their environment than we are
B) shows that dolphins have a very sophisticated form of communication
C) proves that dolphins are not the most intelligent species at sea
D) does not mean that we are superior to them
E) proves that Dolphins have linguistic skills far beyond what we previously thought
43. One can infer from the reading that ----.
A) dolphins are quite abundant in some areas of the world
B) communication is the most fascinating aspect of the dolphins
C) dolphins have skills that no other living creatures have such as the ability to think
D) it is not usual for dolphins to communicate with each other
E) dolphins have some social traits that are similar to those of humans

EROSION IN AMERICA
Erosion of America's farmland by wind and water has been a problem since settlers first put the
prairies and grasslands under the plow in the nineteenth century. By the 1930s, more than 282 million
acres of farmland were damaged by erosion. After 40 years of conservation efforts, soil erosion has
accelerated due to new demands placed on the land by heavy crop production. In the years ahead, soil
erosion and the pollution problems it causes are likely to replace petroleum scarcity as the nation's most
critical natural resource problem.

A) causes humans to place new demands on the land

READING COMPREHENSION(41-44): In nearly all human populations a majority of individuals can
taste the artificially synthesized chemical phenylthiocarbonide (PTC). However, the percentage varies
dramatically--from as low as 60% in India to as high as 95% in Africa. That this polymorphism is
observed in non-human primates as well indicates a long evolutionary history which, although obviously
not acting on PTC, might reflect evolutionary selection for taste discrimination of other, more significant
bitter substances, such as certain toxic plants.A somewhat more puzzling human polymorphism is the
genetic variability in earwax, or cerumen, which is observed in two varieties. Among European
populations 90% of individuals have a sticky yellow variety rather than a dry, gray one, whereas in
northern China these numbers are approximately the reverse. Perhaps like PTC variability, cerumen
variability is an incidental expression of something more adaptively significant. Indeed, the observed
relationship between cerumen and odorous bodily secretions, to which non-human primates and, to a
lesser extent humans, pay attention suggests that during the course of human evolution genes affecting
body secretions, including cerumen, came under selective influence.
Questions
41.It can be inferred from the passage that human populations vary considerably in their
A.sensitivity to certain bodily odors
B.ability to assimilate artificial chemicals
C.vulnerability to certain toxins found in plants D.ability to discern bitterness in taste
42.Which of the following provides the most reasonable explanation for the assertion in the first
paragraph that evolutionary history "obviously" did not act on PTC?
A.PTC is not a naturally occurring chemical but rather has been produced only recently by scientists.
B.Most humans lack sufficient taste sensitivity to discriminate between PTC and bitter chemicals
occurring naturally.
C.Variability among humans respecting PTC discrimination, like variability respecting earwax, cannot be
explained in terms of evolutionary adaptivity.
D.Unlike non-human primates, humans can discriminate intellectually between toxic and non-toxic bitter
substances.
43.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.Artificially synthesized chemicals might eventually serve to alter the course of evolution by
desensitizing humans to certain tastes and odors.
B.Some human polymorphisms might be explained as vestigial evidence of evolutionary adaptations that
still serve vital purposes in other primates.
C.Sensitivity to taste and to odors have been subject to far greater natural selectivity during the evolution
of primates than previously thought.
D.Polymorphism among human populations varies considerably from region to region throughout the
world.
44.It can be inferred from the passage that
A.The amount of bodily odours and secretion that take place reduce at each stage of evolution.
B.The extent of attention paid by non-human primates to body secretions is much higher than that of the
more evolved human species.
C.Artificially sythesized chemicals have impaired the extent of sensitivity that human beings have to
body secretions.
D.All of these

READING COMPREHENSION(41-44): At this stage of civilisation, when many nations are brought in
to close and vital contact for good and evil, it is essential, as never before, that their gross ignorance of
one another should be diminished, that they should begin to understand a little of one another's historical
experience and resulting mentality. It is the fault of the English to expect the people of other countries to
react as they do, to political and international situations. Our genuine goodwill and good intentions are
often brought to nothing, because we expect other people to be like us. This would be corrected if we
knew the history, not necessarily in detail but in broad outlines, of the social and political conditions
which have given to each nation its present character.

READING COMPREHENSION(41-45): It is to progress in the human sciences that we must look to
undo the evils which have resulted from a knowledge of physical world hastily and superficially acquired
by population unconscious of the changes in themselves that the new knowledge has imperative. The road
to a happier world than any known in the past lies open before us if atavistic destructive passions can be
kept in leash while the necessary adaptations are made. Fears are inevitable in time, but hopes are equally
rational and far more likely to bear good fruit. We must learn to think rather less of the dangers to be
avoided than of the good that will lie within our grasp if we can believe in it and let it dominate our
thoughts. Science, whatever unpleasant consequences it may have by the way, is in its very nature a
liberator, a liberator of bondage to physical nature and in time to come, a liberator from the weight of
destructive passions. We are on the threshold of utter disaster or unprecedentely glorious achievement. No
previous age has been fraught with problems so momentous; and it is to science that we must look to for a
happy future.

A team of California researchers from intensive and prolonged study have propounded that clean living
and healthful habits encourages longevity gifting an extra 11 years to a man, seven to a woman. This
life bonus is propped on seven golden behavioural rules: Eating regularly, and not between meals; eating
breakfast; getting eight hours sleep nightly; maintaining a normal weight, being neither overweight nor
underweight; not smoking or drinking and exercising regularly.Eating regularly and not between meals;
Discipline in food habits is important to life and continuous good health. Meal hours should be
scrupulously observed as the stomach gets geared to them. A balanced diet must contain the four basic
foods meat and fish; eggs and dairy products; vegetables and fruits; cereals and substitutes. These
provide the five nutrients: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Deserts and snacks
between meals make one corpulent. Rich food is as hazardous as a starvation diet.
Eating breakfast: rejuvenating the body by replenishing depleted blood is this meals work and must not
be skipped, as it comes 10 hours after the last meal. Nutritionally qualitative rather than quantitative
breakfast must provide a quarter of the days calories. A wholesome breakfast guarantees a sunshiny,
efficient day at work or school.
Getting eight hours sleep nightly: Sleep, the most irresistible of human needs, is the cessation of bodily
activity, an inner restorative force and physical refreshment. During sleep the heart and breathing slow
down, muscles relax, pupils contract. Everybody requires the traditional nightly eight hours of energising
sleep, but some can thrive on less; too much sleep enervates. Humans can live without food for three
weeks, but after 90 sleepless hours they start hallucinating. A definite sleep schedule should be followed.
Keeping a normal weight, being neither overweight nor underweight: A height aligned correct weight
creates a personality potential and a health plus. Any person weighing 10 Kilograms more than the
desirable weight is overfed. Overweight reduces ones life expectancy.
Not smoking: Smoking is injurious and debilitating to general health, often leading to cancer of the throat
and lungs. Tobacco dulls the sensitivity of the brain.
Not drinking alcoholic beverages: Alcoholics commonly suffer from liver disease and vitamin deficiency,
leading to brain disorders. It is a vicious enemy.
Exercising regularly: Daily calisthenics, a good habit, produces physical fitness while activating body
functions. Sports like Badminton and outdoor jogging tones up the physique. Exercise gives the heart a
good workout. Lack of exercises makes blood vessels lose elasticity and suppleness. A good brisk walk is
rewarding for sedentary folk. Exercise retards aging. The body wastes away unless used.
41. How many years do clean living and healthful habits add to a life of a woman and man respectively?
a) 10 years for a man and 5 years for a women b) 15 years for a man and 7 years for a women c) 11
years for a man and 3 years for a women
d) None of the above
42. What does smoking lead to?
a) Cancer of the throat b) Cancer of the liver c) Cancer of the throat and lungs
d) Brain cancer
43. What is rewarding for a sedentary folk?
a) Jogging
b) Exercising c) Brisk walking
44. Which amongst the below mentioned is one of the seven golden rules for better health?
a) Getting 8 hours sleep nightly b) Not smoking or drinking
c) Eating regularly and not between
meals d) All of the above
45. What does lack of exercise result in?

READING COMPREHENSION (41-45): What needs to be set right is our approach to work. It is a
common sight in our country of employees reporting for duty on time and at the same time doing little
work. If an assessment is made of time they spent in gossiping, drinking tea, eating "pan" and smoking
cigarettes, it will be shocking to know that the time devoted to actual work is negligible. The problem is
the standard which the leadership in administration sets for the staff. Forgot the ministers because they
mix politics and administration. What do top bureaucrats do? What do the below down officials do? The
administration set up remains week mainly because the employees do not have the right example to
follow and they are more concerned about being in the good books of the bosses than doing work.
41. The employees in our country
A. are quite punctual but not duty conscious
B. are not punctual, but somehow manage to complete
their work
C. are somewhat lazy but good natured D. are not very highly qualified
42. According to the writer, the administration in India
A. is by and large effective
B. is very strict and firm
C. is affected by red tape
D. is more or less ineffective
43. The word 'assessment' means A. enquiry B. report C. evaluation
D. summary
44. The leadership in administration
A. sets a fine example to the employees
B. is of a reasonably high standard
C. is composed of idealists
D. is of a very poor standard
45. The central idea of passage could be best expressed by the following
A. The employee outlook towards work is justified
B. The employee must change their outlook towards work
C. The employees would never change their work culture
D. The employer-employee relationship is far from healthy
PARAGRAPH BASED QUESTION (46-48):
Sports involve not only brawn but also aptitude and technique.
1. The Asian pride, of course, has been protected to a large extent by the performance of China.
2. While there may be something historical and perhaps even genetic about the brawn part of it,
aptitude and technique can be acquired over a period of time, provided there is a concerted,
scientific, effort to cultivate them.
3. If this is in fact so, our political leaders and bureaucrats have to shoulder squarely the blame for
the sheer ignominy of finding ourselves at the bottom of the medals tally list, among countries
whose population is a fraction of our own
4. But, for how longer is anybodys guess?
But surely, it would have been so much better if India and China had found themselves together at the top
of the list instead of the former barely meaning to get a toehold in it.

Reading Comphrehension
Organizations are institutions in which members complete for status and power. They compete for
resource of the organization, for example finance to expand their own departments, for career
advancement and for power to control the activities of others. In pursuit of these aims, grouped are
formed and sectional interests emerge. As a result, policy decisions may serve the ends of political and
career systems rather than those of the concern. In this way, the goals of the organization may be
displaced in favor of sectional interests and individual ambition. These preoccupations sometimes prevent
the emergence of organic systems. Many of the electronic firms in the study had recently created research
and development departments employing highly qualified and well paid scientists and technicians. Their
high pay and expert knowledge were sometimes seen as a threat to the established order of rank, power
and privilege. Many senior managers had little knowledge of technicality and possibilities of new
developments and electronics. Some felt that close cooperation with the experts in an organic system
would reveal their ignorance and show their experience was now redundant.

A. Groupism in organizations
