Directions for Questions 11-14: Read the passage and answer the questions that fol-low on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a mil-limeter of the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the surface water. Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the wind mixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of this phenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water, which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicated phenomenon. When waves

are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts of energy-energy, which is con-sequently not available for the production of turbulence.

11. This passage principally intends to:

A. resolve a controversyB. attempt a description of a phenomenonC. sketch a theoryD. reinforce certain research findingsE. tabulate various observations

Answer : B

12. The wind over the ocean usually does which of the following according to the given passage?

I. Leads to cool, dry air coming in proximity with the ocean surface.II. Maintains a steady rate of heat and moisture transfer between the ocean and the air.III. Results in frequent changes in the ocean surface temperature.

A. I onlyB. II onlyC. I and II onlyD. II and III onlyE. I, II, and III

Answer : A

13. According to the author the present knowledge regarding heat and moisture trans-fer from the ocean to air as

A. revolutionaryB. inconsequentialC. outdatedD. derivativeE. incomplete

Answer : E

14. According to the given passage, in case the wind was to decrease until there was no wind at all, which of the following would occur?

A. The air, which is closest to the ocean surface would get saturated with water vapor.B. The water would be cooler than the air closest to the ocean surface.C. There would be a decrease in the amount of moisture in the air closest to the ocean surface.D. There would be an increase in the rate of heat and moisture transfer.E. The temperature of the air closest to the ocean and that of the air higher up would be the same.

Answer : A

Directions for Questions 15-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that fol-low on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Roger Rosenblatt’s book Black Fiction, manages to alter the approach taken in many previous studies by making an attempt to apply literary rather than sociopolitical cri-teria to its subject. Rosenblatt points out that criticism of Black writing has very often served as a pretext for an expounding on Black history. The recent work of Addison Gayle’s passes a judgement on the value of Black fiction by clearly political stan-dards, rating each work according to the ideas of Black identity, which it propounds.Though fiction results from political circumstances, its author react not in ideological ways to those circumstances, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instru-ments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise. Affinities and con-nections are revealed in the works of Black fiction in Rosenblatt’s literary analysis; these affinities and connections have been overlooked and ignored by solely political studies.The writing of acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presumes giving satis-factory answers to a quite a few questions. The most important of all, is there a suffi-cient reason, apart from the racial identity of the authors, for the grouping together of Black authors? Secondly, what is the distinction of Black fiction from other modern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? In the work Rosenblatt demon-strates that Black fiction is a distinct body of writing, which has an identifiable, co-herent literary tradition. He highlights recurring concerns and designs, which are in-dependent of chronology in Black fiction written over the past eighty years. These concerns and designs are thematic, and they come form the central fact of the pre-dominant white culture, where the Black characters in the novel are situated irrespec-tive of whether they attempt to conform to that culture or they rebel against it.Rosenblatt’s work does leave certain aesthetic questions open. His thematic analysis allows considerable objectivity; he even clearly states that he does not intend to judge the merit of the various works yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For example, certain novels have an appearance of structural diffusion. Is this a defeat, or are the authors working out of, or attempting to forge, a different kind of aesthetic? Apart from this, the style of certain Black novels, like Jean Toomer’s Cane, verges on expressionism or surreal-ism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more nat-uralistic modes of expressions?Irrespective of such omissions, what Rosenblatt talks about in his work makes for an astute and worthwhile study. His book very effectively surveys a variety of novels, highlighting certain fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man. Black Fiction is tightly constructed, and lev-elheaded and penetrating criticism is exemplified in its forthright and lucid style.

15. The author of the passage raises and objection to criticism of Black fiction like that by Addison Gayle as it:

A. Highlights only the purely literary aspects of such worksB. Misconceive the ideological content of such fictionC. Miscalculate the notions of Black identity presented in such fiction

D. Replaces political for literary criteria in evaluating such fictionE. Disregards the reciprocation between Black history and Black identity exhibited in such fiction.

Answer : D

16. The primary concern of the author in the above passage is:

A. Reviewing the validity of a work of criticismB. Comparing various critical approaches to a subjectC. Talking of the limitations of a particular kind of criticismD. Recapitulation of the major points in a work of criticismE. Illustrating the theoretical background of a certain kind of criticism.

Answer : A

17. The author is of the opinion that Black Fiction would have been improved had Rosenblatt:

A. Undertaken a more careful evaluation of the ideological and historical aspects of Black FictionB. Been more objective in his approach to novels and stories by Black authorsC. Attempted a more detailed exploration of the recurring themes in Black fiction throughout its historyD. Established a basis for placing Black fiction within its own unique literary tradi-tionE. Calculated the relative literary merit of the novels he analyzed thematically.

Answer : E

18. Rosenblatt’s discussion of Black Fiction is :

A. Pedantic and contentiousB. Critical but admiringC. Ironic and deprecatingD. Argumentative but unfocusedE. Stilted and insincere.

Answer : B

19. According to the given passage the author would be LEAST likely to approve of which among the following?

A. Analyzing the influence of political events on the personal ideology of Black writ-ersB.

Directions for Questions 11-16: Read the passage and answer the questions that fol-low on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Everyone conforms to infancy, infancy conforms to nobody, so that one babe com-monly makes four or five out of the adults who prattle and play to it. So God has armed youth and puberty and manhood no less with its own piquancy and charm, and made it enviable and gracious and its claims not to be put by, if it will stand by itself. Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! In the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic. It seems he knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or bold, then, he will know how to make us se-niors very unnecessary.The healthy attitude of human nature can be seen in the nonchalance of boys who are sure of a dinner, and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one. A boy is in the parlor what the pit is in the playhouse; independent, irresponsible, looking out from his corner on such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sen-tences them on their merits, in the swift, summary way of boys, as good, bad, interest-ing, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He never cumbers himself regarding consequences, about interests and he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You should court him: he will not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his conscious-ness. As soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched by the sympathy or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. There is no Lethe for this. Ah, that he could pass again into his neu-trality.These are the voices, which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Everywhere society is conspiring against the manhood of ev-ery one of its members. Society is joint – stock company, in which members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. It is averse to self-re-liance. What it loves is names and customs and not realities and creators.Whosoever is a man has to be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that to this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only right is what is after me constitution, the only wrong what is against it. A man is to carry himself in the presence of all opposition as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he. I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions. Every decent and well-spoken individ-ual affects and sways me more than is right. I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.I shun father and mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the doorpost, whim. I hope it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation. Except me not to show cause why I seek or why I exclude company. Then, again, do not tell me, as a good man did not to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the time, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a class of person to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison, if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at collage of fools; the building of meeting – house to the vain end to which many now stand;

alms to sots; and the thousand fold Relief Societies; – though I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked dollar which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold.If you refuse to conform, you can experience the displeasure of the world. Hence, a man should know how to estimate a sour face. The by – standers look askance on him in the public street or in the friend’s parlor. In case this aversion originates from con-tempt and resistance similar to his own, it might result in a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are caused by reasons as diverse as the direction of the wind and what he reads in the newspa-pers. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the senate and the collage.Another factor, which frightens us from self – trust in our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then?This is a rather silly consistency in our minds, which is adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. Uniformly a great soul has almost nothing to do, he could just occupy himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words; and to-morrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said to-day. – ”Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunder-stood.” – Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. What can be considered to be truly great is to be misunderstood.

1)Which of the following statements would best describe the main theme of the above passage?

Answer : C

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that fol-low on the basis of the information provided in the passage.Certain scraps of evidence bear out those who hold a very high opinion of the average level of culture among the Athenians of the great age. Pericles’s funeral speech is un-doubtedly the most famous evidence from Athenian literature, that its level was in-deed high. However, Pericles was a politician, and it is possible that he was flattering his audience. We know that thousands of Athenians sat hour after hour in the theater listening to the plays of the great Greek dramatists. The Greek plays, particularly the tragedies, maintained an extremely high intellectual level throughout, with no let-

downs, no concessions to the lowbrows or to the demands of ”realism”, like the gravediggers scene in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The music and dancing seen in these plays were also of an equally high level. The best modern parallel can be seen in the restrained, difficult opera of the 18th century. The comparison is no doubt dangerous, but can you imagine almost the entire population of an American city (in suitable in-stallments, of course) sitting through performances of Mozart’s Don Giovanni or Gluck’s Orpheus? Perhaps the Athenian masses went to these plays because of a lack of other amusements. They could at least understand something of what went on, since the subjects were part of their folklore. Undoubtedly the theme of grand opera is not part of the folklore of the American people.

1)From the passage it is evident that the author seems to question the sincerity of

A. politiciansB. playwrightsC. opera goersD. ”low brows”E. gravediggers.

Answer : A

2) According to the author the average American

A. Enjoys HamletB. Loves folkloreC. Is not able to understand grand operaD. Seeks a high cultural levelE. Lacks entertainment.

Answer : C

3)From the passage, we can say that the author’s attitude toward Greek plays is one of

A. Qualified approvalB. Grudging admirationC. Studied indifferenceD. Partial hostilityE. Great respect.

Answer : E

4)The author makes a suggestion that Greek plays

A.Were demanding on the actorsB.Flattered their audiencesC.Were focussed on a limited audienceD.Were dominated by music and dancingE.Stimulated their audiences.

Directions for Questions 11-16: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would re-move the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make the understanding of chemical reac-tions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil’s Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that itteaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him ac-quainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limitedsuccess has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and chem-istry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of sci-entific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which edu-cated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatever. The only way of learn-ing the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until the educa-

tional or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and develop them.

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.Furthermore, insofar as any conclusion about its author can be drawn from five or six plays at-tributed to him, the Wakefield Master is without exception considered to be a man of sharp con-temporary observation. He was, probably clerically educated, as indicated by his Latin and mu-sic, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is remembered for his his quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial, vernacu-lar turns of speech and a humor alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy. Therefore in spite of his conscious artistry as can be seen in his feeling for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.It is now fairly accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the medieval drama. Therefore more stress has been laid on it as depicting realistically humble man-ners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of Yorkshire on a typically cold night of De-cember 24th. After what are often regarded as almost ”documentaries” given in the three succes-sive monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. In actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also the raison d’etre of the introductory ”realism.”Superficially the present play supports the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. At the same time, the ”realism” of the Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowl-edge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption . So deeply (one can hardly say ”naively” of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the author of the Brome Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time ”costume romances,” such as The Knight’s Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used highly romantic materials, which could excuse his taking liberties with history.

1)Of the following statements, which is not true of Wakefield Master?

A.He and Chaucer were contemporaries.B.Wakefield Master is remembered as having written five or six realistic plays.C.His plays realistically portray the plight of the country folk of his dayD.His writing was similar to that of John Steinbeck.E.He was an accomplished artist.

Answer : E

4)From the following what would the writer be expected to do in the subsequent paragraphs:

A.Make a justification for his comparison with SteinbeckB.Put forth a view point, which would take up the thought of the second paragraphC.Point out the anachronisms in the playD.Discuss the works of ChaucerE.Talk about the lack of realism in the works of the Wakefield Master.

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.The existence of mammals on the earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time. The rate of development was retarded, till evolutional change suddenly accelerated in the oldest Pale-ocene. This resulted in an increase in average size, larger mental capacity, and special adapta-tions for different modes of life, during the Eocene time. Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch, with the appearance of some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are especially significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their peak with reference to variety and size.

The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the reptiles of the Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals apparently have not done much better than the corresponding reptilian forms. Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal than the pterosaur, but at the same time the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the antelope, must excel any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of their superior brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant to note that various species of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the plains and were able to run swiftly (horse, deer, bison), others started liv-ing in rivers and swamps (hippopotamus, beaver), inhabiting trees (sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole), feeding on flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dol-phin, whale, seal), and flying in the air (bat). Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness mechanical methods to conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions.

Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure. This is a biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that early in its evolu-tional cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal progresses in its cycle be-coming old and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The generalized types of organisms retain longest the ability to make adjustments when required, and it is from them that new, fe-cund stocks take origin-certainly not from any specialized end products. With reference to mam-mals, we see their birth, plastic spread in many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a characteristic of the evolution of life, which can be seen in the geo-logic record of life.

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.No effort is made to understand the reasons for these recurring disasters. Nobody has or the time or the inclination to understand the reasons. Unless and until we make an effort to understand

these disasters will continue year after year with ever-increasing intensity.The paramount need of day is “information, education, and planning”. Information would mean gathering data from all over the world about environmental degradation, loss of forest cover or mangroves, and pollution of all kinds. Education would mean informing the rules the mankind the reasons for these distressed. People must be made aware of the phenomenon of global warm-ing. The vaporous by products of human activities create gas, like carbon dioxide-CO2 – which traps vast amount of heat resulting in the increase of earth’s temperature, which boosts sea-level, shifts seasons. Unseasonal floods, rains, droughts etc. are the direct pattern of seasons but not so under E1 Nino. Increase of two degrees in global warming can cause a havoc. Greenhouse effect is another phenomenon, which haunts us, incoming sunlight has an energy equivalent to about 3,100 watts bulbs per sq yard. Lower air layers, which contain a number of gases, water vapour , CO2 and many others, trap the heat when these gases warm up, some of the heat is radiated back to earth ‘s surface. This is broadly known as green effect. CO2 emission accounts for 60 percent of warming and has a life span of about 100 years in the atmosphere. Water vapour in contrast has a life span of eight days only. Ozone-level depletion is another cause of series concern as it causes killer cancer for which as yet there is no cure. Once we understand the causes, it is easy to take to remedial measures. This brings us to planning. Effluent management planning is the dire need of the day. There should be steering committee of governmental ministers, scientists, indus-tries, NGOs, to devise means to develop and install machineries to prevent major cause of pollut-ing effluents mentioned earlier. Within a time-bound framework, these devices must be installed, failing which the erring industries must be closed down. No new industries should be permitted without efficient effluent management and treatment. Chemical pesticides should be phased out gradually. Indian farmer for centuries depended upon organic fertilizers. Let us opt for them again. Recently, studies showed that mother ‘s milk has DDT contents, obviously from consum-ing food having agrochemicals or pesticides. The indiscriminate use of pesticides kills both predatory and beneficial insects also. Let us bring back use of Neem for pesticides, which kills only predatory insects, or Tulsi for cleaning the atmosphere from suffocating pollution. Planting these trees on war footing in the urgent need of the day. A country needs more than 30 percent forest cover. Trees retain water in soil and act as buffers against the waves. They are necessary for maintaining the regular cycle of seasons. India has less than 20 percent of forest cover. All this is possible if we opt for information technology. Vast sources of information are available. Let us use them to bring the knowledge to the doorstep of a common man, the executive, the politicians and the judiciary. Environment is a finely-tuned and extremely well –balanced eco-logical mechanism. Flora and fauna, birds, animals and, of course, humans play a vital role. Touch one adversely and all suffer. We are courting irreversible disaster. We have turned our back on Nature. Let us go back to Nature- at least for our survival.

Directions for Questions 17-20:One recent example of industrial hyper growth has taken place in the recycling industry, led by the rapid expansion of the recycled paper market. Though many laws were enacted in the late 1980s to encourage (and in some cases require) the collection of waste paper for recycling, there were not, at that time, companies with sufficient capacity to recycle it all. Consequently the col-lected paper accumulated in storage, usually at the expense of the recycling companies, thereby adding to their overhead and squeezing their already thin profit margins. Today a different situa-tion exists. Fifty-seven new paper mills have been built since 1991, and of these, at least twenty-nine use recycled fiber. This surge in capacity has resulted in a concurrent rise in profits. The price per Ton of waste paper has quadrupled in the past year, as have the prices of corrugated cardboard and used newsprint. Trash haulers have benefited from these conditions by combining their trash hauling and recycling operations. Recycling centers are connected both to the clients to whom they sell end products and to those from whom they collect refuse; thus, the company gets paid twice for the same trash, once for hauling the waste and once for selling the usable ma-terial. Industry profits have increased more than tenfold during this period. As the industry has become more competitive, some haulers have chosen to rebate a portion of this money to their clients in the hopes of ensuring their loyalty.

17. According to the passage, which of the following is a reason for the increase in profits in the trash hauling business?

A Haulers’ ability to sell both services and products.B Money offered by haulers to preferred customers.C Foresight exhibited by the leaders of the industry.D Haulers’ willingness to adapt technology to a changing industry.E Passage of stricter environmental legislation.

18. It can be inferred from the passage that the price of waste paper

A will increase steadily over the next few yearsB will increase as more companies get involved in the industryC is closely related to the availability of trash haulersD is not as important to trash haulers as the price they charge for hauling wasteE is sometimes set by the weight of the product

19. The author of the passage would most likely agree with which of the following?

A. Competition between trash haulers and recyclers will prevent the recycled paper industry from reaching its fulleconomic potential.B. Pressure from anti-environmental groups has increased pressure on the government to oppose recycled paperinitiatives.C. The recycled paper industry may continue to grow at its present rate as long as the industry re-mains profitable.D. The profit-seeking of recyclers have overshadowed environmental concerns in the recycled paper industry.E. Government negligence prevented the recycled paper industry from becoming successful until the early 1990’s.

20. According to the passage, all of the following are results of the increase in the number of new mills using

recycled finer except

A. The price of waste paper has risen dramatically.B. Trash haulers are earning increased revenues.C. Profits at recycling centers have increased more than tenfold.D. The price of corrugated cardboard has risen.E. Trash haulers have been forced to compete with recyclers.

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.The existence of mammals on the earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time. The rate of development was retarded, till evolutional change suddenly accelerated in the oldest Pale-ocene. This resulted in an increase in average size, larger mental capacity, and special adapta-tions for different modes of life, during the Eocene time. Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch, with the appearance of some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are especially significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their peak with reference to variety and size.

The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the reptiles of the Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals apparently have not done much better than the corresponding reptilian forms. Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal than the pterosaur, but at the same time the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the antelope, must excel any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of their superior brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant to note that various species of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the plains and were able to run swiftly (horse, deer, bison), others started liv-ing in rivers and swamps (hippopotamus, beaver), inhabiting trees (sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole), feeding on flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dolphin, whale, seal), and flying in the air (bat). Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness mechanical methods to conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions.

Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure. This is a biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that early in its evolu-tional cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal progresses in its cycle be-coming old and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The generalized types of organisms retain longest the ability to make adjustments when required, and it is from them that new, fe-cund stocks take origin-certainly not from any specialized end products. With reference to mam-mals, we see their birth, plastic spread in many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a characteristic of the evolution of life, which can be seen in the geo-logic record of life.

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.No effort is made to understand the reasons for these recurring disasters. Nobody has or the time or the inclination to understand the reasons. Unless and until we make an effort to understand these disasters will continue year after year with ever-increasing intensity.

The paramount need of day is “information, education, and planning”. Information would mean gathering data from all over the world about environmental degradation, loss of forest cover or mangroves, and pollution of all kinds. Education would mean informing the rules the mankind the reasons for these distressed. People must be made aware of the phenomenon of global warm-ing. The vaporous by products of human activities create gas, like carbon dioxide-CO2 – which traps vast amount of heat resulting in the increase of earth’s temperature, which boosts sea-level, shifts seasons. Unseasonal floods, rains, droughts etc. are the direct pattern of seasons but not so under E1 Nino. Increase of two degrees in global warming can cause a havoc. Greenhouse effect is another phenomenon, which haunts us, incoming sunlight has an energy equivalent to about 3,100 watts bulbs per sq yard. Lower air layers, which contain a number of gases, water vapour , CO2 and many others, trap the heat when these gases warm up, some of the heat is radiated back to earth ‘s surface. This is broadly known as green effect. CO2 emission accounts for 60 percent of warming and has a life span of about 100 years in the atmosphere. Water vapour in contrast has a life span of eight days only. Ozone-level depletion is another cause of series concern as it

causes killer cancer for which as yet there is no cure. Once we understand the causes, it is easy to take to remedial measures. This brings us to planning. Effluent management planning is the dire need of the day. There should be steering committee of governmental ministers, scientists, indus-tries, NGOs, to devise means to develop and install machineries to prevent major cause of pollut-ing effluents mentioned earlier. Within a time-bound framework, these devices must be installed, failing which the erring industries must be closed down. No new industries should be permitted without efficient effluent management and treatment. Chemical pesticides should be phased out gradually. Indian farmer for centuries depended upon organic fertilizers. Let us opt for them again. Recently, studies showed that mother ‘s milk has DDT contents, obviously from consum-ing food having agrochemicals or pesticides. The indiscriminate use of pesticides kills both predatory and beneficial insects also. Let us bring back use of Neem for pesticides, which kills only predatory insects, or Tulsi for cleaning the atmosphere from suffocating pollution. Planting these trees on war footing in the urgent need of the day. A country needs more than 30 percent forest cover. Trees retain water in soil and act as buffers against the waves. They are necessary for maintaining the regular cycle of seasons. India has less than 20 percent of forest cover. All this is possible if we opt for information technology. Vast sources of information are available. Let us use them to bring the knowledge to the doorstep of a common man, the executive, the politicians and the judiciary. Environment is a finely-tuned and extremely well –balanced eco-logical mechanism. Flora and fauna, birds, animals and, of course, humans play a vital role. Touch one adversely and all suffer. We are courting irreversible disaster. We have turned our back on Nature. Let us go back to Nature- at least for our survival.

Directions for Questions 17-20:

One recent example of industrial hyper growth has taken place in the recycling industry, led by the rapid expansion of the recycled paper market. Though many laws were enacted in the late 1980s to encourage (and in some cases require) the collection of waste paper for recycling, there were not, at that time, companies with sufficient capacity to recycle it all. Consequently the col-lected paper accumulated in storage, usually at the expense of the recycling companies, thereby adding to their overhead and squeezing their already thin profit margins. Today a different situa-tion exists. Fifty-seven new paper mills have been built since 1991, and of these, at least twenty-nine use recycled fiber. This surge in capacity has resulted in a concurrent rise in profits. The price per Ton of waste paper has quadrupled in the past year, as have the prices of corrugated cardboard and used newsprint. Trash haulers have benefited from these conditions by combining their trash hauling and recycling operations. Recycling centers are connected both to the clients to whom they sell endproducts and to those from whom they collect refuse; thus, the company gets paid twice for the same trash, once for hauling the waste and once for selling the usable ma-terial. Industry profits have increased more than tenfold during this period. As the industry has become more competitive, some haulers have chosen to rebate a portion of this money to their clients in the hopes of ensuring their loyalty.

17. According to the passage, which of the following is a reason for the increase in profits in the trash hauling business?

A Haulers’ ability to sell both services and products.

B Money offered by haulers to preferred customers.

C Foresight exhibited by the leaders of the industry.

D Haulers’ willingness to adapt technology to a changing industry.

E Passage of stricter environmental legislation.

18. It can be inferred from the passage that the price of waste paper

A will increase steadily over the next few years

B will increase as more companies get involved in the industry

C is closely related to the availability of trash haulers

D is not as important to trash haulers as the price they charge for hauling waste

E is sometimes set by the weight of the product

19. The author of the passage would most likely agree with which of the following?

A. Competition between trash haulers and recyclers will prevent the recycled paper industry from reaching its fulleconomic potential.

B. Pressure from anti-environmental groups has increased pressure on the government to oppose recycled paperinitiatives.

C. The recycled paper industry may continue to grow at its present rate as long as the industry re-mains profitable.

D. The profit-seeking of recyclers have overshadowed environmental concerns in the recycled paper industry.

E. Government negligence prevented the recycled paper industry from becoming successful until the early 1990’s.

20. According to the passage, all of the following are results of the increase in the number of new mills using

recycled finer except

A. The price of waste paper has risen dramatically.

B. Trash haulers are earning increased revenues.

C. Profits at recycling centers have increased more than tenfold.

D. The price of corrugated cardboard has risen.

E. Trash haulers have been forced to compete with recyclers.

Directions for Questions 11-16: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the informationprovided in the passage.

Everyone conforms to infancy, infancy conforms to nobody, so that one babe commonly makes four or five out of the adults who prattle and play to it. So God has armed youth and puberty and manhood no less with its own piquancy and charm, and made it enviable and gracious and its claims not to be put by, if it will stand by itself. Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! In the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic. It seems he knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or bold, then, he will know how to make us seniors very unnecessary.

The healthy attitude of human nature can be seen in the nonchalance of boys who are sure of a dinner, and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one. A boy is in the parlor what the pit is in the playhouse; independent, irresponsible, looking out from his corner on such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sentences them on their merits, in the swift, sum-mary way of boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He never cumbers him-self regarding consequences, about interests and he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You should court him: he will not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his con-sciousness. As soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched

by the sympathy or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. There is no Lethe for this. Ah, that he could pass again into his neutrality.

These are the voices, which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Everywhere society is conspiring against the manhood of every one of its mem-bers. Society is joint – stock company, in which members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most re-quest is conformity. It is averse to self-reliance. What it loves is names and customs and not real-ities and creators.

Whosoever is a man has to be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sa-cred but the integrity of your own mind.

No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that to this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only right is what is after me constitution, the only wrong what is against it. A man is to carry himself in the presence of all opposition as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he. I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions. Every decent and well-spoken individual affects and sways me more than is right. I ought to go upright and vi-tal, and speak the rude truth in all ways.

I shun father and mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the doorpost, whim. I hope it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation. Except me not to show cause why I seek or why I exclude company. Then, again, do not tell me, as a good man did not to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dol-lar, the time, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a class of person to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison, if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at collage of fools; the building of meeting – house to the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots; and the thousandfold Relief Societies; – though I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked dollar which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold.

If you refuse to conform, you can experience the displeasure of the world. Hence, a man should know how to estimate a sour face. The by – standers look askance on him in the public street or in the friend’s parlor. In case this aversion originates from contempt and resistance similar to his own, it might result in a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are caused by reasons as diverse as the direction of the wind and what he reads in the newspapers. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the senate and the collage.

Another factor, which frightens us from self – trust in our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.

But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then?

This is a rather silly consistency in our minds, which is adored by little statesmen and philoso-phers and divines. Uniformly a great soul has almost nothing to do, he could just occupy himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words; and to-morrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said to-day. – ”Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.” – Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. What can be considered to be truly great is to be misunderstood.

Which of the following statements would best describe the main theme of the above passage?“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little mind.”“Eternal youth means eternal independence.”“Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.”“Colleges are designed to educate fools.”“Infancy conforms to nobody.”Answer : C

When is the period during which we are most nonconformist?infancypubertyyouthmanhoodold ageAnswer : A

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.Certain scraps of evidence bear out those who hold a very high opinion of the average level of culture among the Athenians of the great age. Pericles’s funeral speech is undoubtedly the most famous evidence from Athenian literature, that its level was indeed high. However, Pericles was a politician, and it is possible that he was flattering his audience. We know that thousands of Athenians sat hour after hour in the theater listening to the plays of the great Greek dramatists. The Greek plays, particularly the tragedies, maintained an extremely high intellectual level throughout, with no letdowns, no concessions to the lowbrows or to the demands of ”realism”, like the gravediggers scene in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The music and dancing seen in these plays were also of an equally high level. The best modern parallel can be seen in the restrained, diffi-cult opera of the 18th century. The comparison is no doubt dangerous, but can you imagine al-most the entire population of an American city (in suitable installments, of course) sitting through performances of Mozart’s Don Giovanni or Gluck’s Orpheus? Perhaps the Athenian masses went to these plays because of a lack of other amusements. They could at least under-stand something of what went on, since the subjects were part of their folklore. Undoubtedly the theme of grand opera is not part of the folklore of the American people.

From the passage it is evident that the author seems to question the sincerity ofpoliticiansplaywrightsopera goers”low brows”gravediggers.Answer : A

According to the author the average AmericanEnjoys HamletLoves folkloreIs not able to understand grand operaSeeks a high cultural levelLacks entertainment.Answer : C

From the passage, we can say that the author’s attitude toward Greek plays is one ofQualified approvalGrudging admirationStudied indifferencePartial hostilityGreat respect.Answer : E

The author makes a suggestion that Greek playsWere demanding on the actorsFlattered their audiencesWere focussed on a limited audienceWere dominated by music and dancingStimulated their audiences.Answer : E

Directions for Questions 11-16: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.

The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would re-move the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make the understanding of chemical reac-tions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil’s Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that itteaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him ac-quainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limitedsuccess has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and chem-istry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of sci-entific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which edu-cated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatever. The only way of learn-ing the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until the educa-tional or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and develop them.

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.Furthermore, insofar as any conclusion about its author can be drawn from five or six plays at-tributed to him, the Wakefield Master is without exception considered to be a man of sharp con-temporary observation. He was, probably clerically educated, as indicated by his Latin and mu-sic, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is remembered for his his quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial, vernacu-lar turns of speech and a humor alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy. Therefore in spite of his conscious artistry as can be seen in his feeling for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.

It is now fairly accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the medieval drama. Therefore more stress has been laid on it as depicting realistically humble man-ners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of Yorkshire on a typically cold night of De-cember 24th. After what are often regarded as almost ”documentaries” given in the three succes-sive monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. In actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also the raison d’etre of the introductory ”realism.”

Superficially the present play supports the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. At the same time, the ”realism” of the Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowl-edge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption . So deeply (one can hardly say ”naively” of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the author of the Brome Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time ”costume romances,” such as The Knight’s Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used highly romantic materials, which could excuse his taking liberties with history.

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage. Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to fol-low Moore’s Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.

This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum compo-nent cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the micropro-cessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete micro-processor at about the same time: Intel’s 4004, Texas Instruments’ TMS1000, and Garrett AiRe-search’s Central Air Data Computer. . A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) micropro-

cessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro con-troller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?A) Electronic computerB) Central Processing UnitC) Memory diskD) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?A) MicrosoftB) IntelC) Texas InstrumentsD) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?A) Drivers for calculatorsB) Core for large mainframesC) Advanced mobile phonesD) Used for small handheld computers

15) “A number of microprocessors at its CPU” is an apt description of a:A) 11icro-controllerB) Micro-computerC) Micro-processorD) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage.Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or sav-ing a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDL-G.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDL-G.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box’s Filename text box.

The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL’s work is done. The application, for example, may ex-pect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the re-sponsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return informa-

tion the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the pro-cessor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC’s hard-ware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application dis-plays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:A) Saves processing timeB) MultitasksC) Shares program codeD) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes itB) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routineC) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes itD) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?A) Just the name of the routineB) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in returnC) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parametersD) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:A) Waits for the routine to executeB) Continues with other tasksC) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC’s hardwareD) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling appli-cationB) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling applicationC) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect itD) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function opera-tion was a success

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage. Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors.

By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (con-taining the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore’s Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.

This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum compo-nent cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the micropro-cessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete micro-processor at about the same time: Intel’s 4004, Texas Instruments’ TMS1000, and Garrett AiRe-search’s Central Air Data Computer.

A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?A) Electronic computerB) Central Processing UnitC) Memory diskD) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?A) MicrosoftB) IntelC) Texas InstrumentsD) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?A) Drivers for calculatorsB) Core for large mainframesC) Advanced mobile phonesD) Used for small handheld computers

15) “A number of microprocessors at its CPU” is an apt description of a:A) 11icro-controllerB) Micro-computerC) Micro-processorD) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the ba-sis of the information provided in the passage. Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides sev-eral files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that per-form common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the func-tions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes.

The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the opera-tion. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box’s Filename text box. The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL’s work is done. The application, for example, may ex-pect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the re-sponsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return informa-tion the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the pro-cessor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC’s hard-ware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application dis-plays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:A) Saves processing timeB) MultitasksC) Shares program codeD) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes itB) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routineC) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes itD) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?A) Just the name of the routineB) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in returnC) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parametersD) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:A) Waits for the routine to executeB) Continues with other tasksC) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC’s hardwareD) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling appli-cationB) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling applicationC) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect itD) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function opera-tion was a success

Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Few areas of neuron behavioral research seemed more promising is the early sixties than that in-vestigating the relationship between protein synthesis and learning. The conceptual framework for the research was derived directly from molecular biology, which had shown that genetic in-formation is stored in nucleic acids and expressed in proteins why not acquired information as well.

The first step towards establishing a connection between protein synthesis and learning seemed to be to block memory (cause adhesion) by interrupting the production of proteins. We were for-tunate in finding a non lethal dosage of puromycin that could, it first appealed, thoroughly inhibit brain protein synthesis as well as reliability produce amnesia.

Before the actual connection between protein synthesis and learning could be established how-ever we began to have douche about whether inhibition of protein synthesis was in fact the method by which puromycin produced amnesia. First, ocher drugs, glutavimides themselves po-tent protein synthesis inhibitors either failed to cause amnesia in some situations where it could easily be induced by puromycin or produced an amnesia with a different time course from that of puromycin. Second, puromycin was found to inhabit protein synthesis by breaking certain amino acid chaim, and the resulting fragments were suspected of being the actual cause of amnesia is some eases. Third, puromycin was reported to cause abnormalities in the train, including seizures. Thus, not only were decreased protein synthesis and amnesia dissociated, but alterna-tive mechanism for the amnestic action of puromycin were readily suggested.

So, puromycin turned out to be a disappointment. It came to be regarded as a poor agent for am-nesia studies, although, of course, it was poor only in the context of our original paradigm of pro-tein synthesis inhibition. In our frustration, our initial response was simply to change dregs rather than our conceptual orientation. After many such disappointments, however, it now appears un-likely, that we will make a firm connection between protein synthesis and learning merely by pursuing the approaches of the past our experience with drugs has shown that all the amnestic agents, often interfere with memory in ways that seem unrelated to their inhibition of protein synthesis. More importantly, the notion that the interruption or intensification of protein produc-tion in the train can be related in cause and affect fashion to learning non seems simplistic and

unproductive. Remove the battery from a car and the car will not go Drive the car a long distance at high speed and the battery will become more highly charged. Neither of these facts proves that the battery power the car, only knowledge of the overall automotive system will reveal it mecha-nism of locomotion and the role of the battery with in the system.

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

MARK HUGHES is a master of the fine art of survival. His Los Angeles-based Herbalife Inter-national Inc. is a pyramid outfit that peddles weight-loss and nutrition concoctions of dubious value. Bad publicity and regulatory crackdowns hurt his U.S. business in the late 1980s. But Hughes, 41, continues to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in a $20 million Beverly Hills mansion. He has been sharing the pad and a yacht with his third wife, a former Miss Petite U.S.A. He can fi-nance this lavish lifestyle just on his salary and bonus, which last year came to $7.3 million.

He survived his troubles in the U.S. by moving overseas, where regulators are less zealous and consumers even more naive, at least initially. Today 77% of Herbalife retail sales derive from overseas. Its new prowling grounds: Asia and Russia. Last year Herbalife’s net earnings doubled, to $45 million, on net sales of $632 million. Based on Herbalife’s Nasdaq-traded stock, the com-pany has a market capitalization of $790 million, making Hughes 58% worth $454 million.

There’s a worm, though, in Hughes apple. Foreigners aren’t stupid. In the end they know when they’ve been had. In France, for instance, retail sales rose to $97 million by 1993 and then plunged to $12 million last year. In Germany sales hit $159 million in 1994 and have since dropped to $54 million.

Perhaps aware that the world may not provide an infinite supply of suckers, Hughes wanted to unload some of his shares. But in March, after Herbalife’s stock collapsed, he put off a plan to dump about a third of his holdings on the public.

Contributing to Hughes’ woes, Herbalife’s chief counsel and legal attack dog, David Addis, quit in January. Before packing up, he reportedly bellowed at Hughes, “I can’t protect you anymore.” Addis, who says he wants to spend more time with his family, chuckles and claims attorney-client privilege.

Trouble on the home front, too. On a recent conference call with distributors, Hughes revealed he’s divorcing his wife, Suzan, whose beaming and perky image adorns much of Herbalife’s lit-erature.

Meanwhile, in a lawsuit that’s been quietly moving through Arizona’s Superior Court, former Herbalife distributor Daniel Fallow of Sandpoint, Idaho charges that Herbalife arbitrarily with-holds payment to distributors and marks up its products over seven times the cost of manufactur-ing. Fallow also claims Hughes wanted to use the Russian mafia to gain entry to that nation’s market.

Fallow himself is no angel, but his lawsuit, which was posted on the Internet, brought out other complaints.

VERBAL SECTION (25 questions-25min)

Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Outside, the rain continued to run down the screened windows of Mrs. Sennett’s little Cape Cod cottage. The long weeds and grass that composed the front yard dripped against the blurred back-ground of the bay, where the water was almost the color of the grass. Mrs. Sennett’s five charges were vigorously playing house in the dining room. (In the wintertime, Mrs. Sennett was house-keeper for a Mr. Curley, in Boston, and during the summers the Curley children boarded with her on the Cape.) My expression must have changed. ” Are those children making too much noise?” Mrs. Sennett demanded, a sort of wave going over her that might mark the beginning of her get-ting up out of her chair.

I shook my head no, and gave her a little push on the shoulder to keep her seated. Mrs. Sennett was almost stone-deaf and had been for a long time, but she could read lips. You could talk to her without making any sound yourself, if you wanted to, and she more than kept up her side of the conversation in a loud, rusty voice that dropped weirdly every now and then into a whisper. She adored talking. To look at Mrs. Sennett made me think of eighteenth-century England and its literary figures. Her hair must have been sadly thin, because she always wore, indoors and out, either a hat or a sort of turban, and sometimes she wore both. The rims of her eyes were dark; she looked very ill. Mrs. Sennett and I continued talking. She said she really didn’t think she’d stay with the children another winter. Their father wanted her to, but it was too much for her. She wanted to stay right here in the cottage. The afternoon was getting along, and I finally left be-cause I knew that at four o’clock Mrs. Sennett’s  “sit down” was over and she started to get sup-per. At six o’clock, from my nearby cottage, I saw Theresa coming through the rain with a shawl over her head. She was bringing me a six-inch-square piece of spice cake , still hot from the oven and kept warm between two soup plates. A few days later I learned from the twins, who brought over gifts of firewood and blackberries, that their father was coming the next morning, bringing their aunt and her husband and their cousin. Mrs. Sennett had promised to take them all on a pic-nic at the pond some pleasant day. On the fourth day of their visit, Xavier arrived with a note. It was from Mrs. Sennett, written in blue ink, in a large, serene, ornamented hand, on linen-finish paper:. . . Tomorrow is the last day Mr. Curley has and the Children all wanted the Picnic so much. The Men can walk to the Pond but it is too far for the Children. I see your Friend has a car and I hate to ask this but could you possibly drive us to the Pond tomorrow morning? . . .Very sincerely yours, Carmen Sennett After the picnic, Mrs. Sennett’s presents to me were number-less. It was almost time for the children to go back to school in South Boston. Mrs. Sennett in-sisted that she was not going; their father was coming down again to get them and she was just going to stay. He would have to get another housekeeper. She said this over and over to me, loudly, and her turbans and kerchiefs grew more and more distrait. One evening, Mary came to call on me and we sat on an old table in the back yard to watch the sunset. “Papa came today, ” she said, “and we’ve got to go back day after tomorrow. “”Is Mrs. Sennett going to stay here? “”She said at supper she was. She said this time she really was, because she’d said that last year and came back, but now she means it .”I said, “Oh dear,” scarcely knowing which side I was on. “It was awful at supper. I cried and cried.”

“Did Theresa cry?”

“Oh, we all cried. Papa cried, too. We always do.”

“But don’t you think Mrs. Sennett needs a rest?”

“Yes, but I think she’ll come, though. Papa told her he’d cry every single night at supper if she didn’t,

and then we all did.”

The next day I heard that Mrs. Sennett was going back with them just to “help settle.”

She came over the following morning to say goodbye, supported by all five children. She was wearing her traveling

hat of black satin and black straw, with sequins. High and somber, above her ravaged face, it had quite a Spanishgrandee air.

“This isn’t really goodbye,” she said. “I’ll be backas soon as I get these bad, noisy children off my hands.”

But the children hung on to her skirt and tugged at her sleeves, shaking their heads frantically, silently saying,

“No! No! No!” to her with their puckered-up mouths

Following are some  questions on this passage:

1. According to the narrator, Mrs. Sennett wears a hat because she:

1. is often outside.2. wants to look like a literary figure.

3. has thin hair.

4. has unique taste in clothing.

Answer: C

2. Considering the events of the entire passage, it is most reasonable to infer that Mrs. Sen-nett calls thechildren bad  because she:

1. is bothered by the noise they are making.2. doesn’t like them hanging on her skirt.

3. doesn’t want to reveal her affection for them.

4. is angry that they never do what she tells them.

Answer: C

3. What is the main insight suggested by the conversation in lines 69–83?

1. The Curley family cries to manipulate Mrs. Sennett into doing what they want.2. The narrator regrets that she is not going to Boston and is a little jealous of Mrs. Sennett.

3. Mrs. Sennett is happy to leave the Curley family because they are always whining and crying.

4. Mrs. Sennett intends to return to the Cape soon because she has discovered that they have been manipulating and taking advantage of her.

Answer: A

4. Given the evidence provided throughout the passage, the children probably silently mouth the word “no”because:

1. Mrs. Sennett has just called them bad, noisy children, and they are defending themselves.2. they do not want to leave the Cape before the summer is over and are protesting.

3. they are letting the narrator know that Mrs. Sennett is thinking about returning to the Cape.

4. they are continuing their battle against Mrs. Sennett’s intention to return to the Cape.

Answer: D

5. At what point does Mr. Curley cry at the supper table?

1. Before Mary and the narrator sit and watch the sunset2. Before Mrs. Sennett tells the narrator she doubts she will stay another winter with the children

3. Before the children spend a rainy afternoon playing house in the dining room

4. After the narrator learns that Mrs. Sennett will return to Boston

Answer: A

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

From the 197 million square miles, which make up the surface of the globe, 71 per cent is cov-ered by the interconnecting bodies of marine water; the Pacific Ocean alone covers half the Earth and averages near 14,000 feet in depth. The portions which rise above sea level are the conti-nents-Eurasia, Africa; North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. The submerged borders of the continental masses are the continental shelves, beyond which lie the deep-sea basins.

The ocean are deepest not in the center but in some elongated furrows, or long narrow troughs, called deeps. These profound troughs have a peripheral arrangement, notably around the borders of the pacific and Indian oceans. The position of the deeps, like the highest mountains, are of re-cent origin, since otherwise they would have been filled with waste from the lands. This is fur-ther strengthened by the observation that the deeps are quite often, where world-shaking earth-quakes occur. To cite an example, the “tidal wave” that in April, 1946, caused widespread de-struction along Pacific coasts resulted from a strong earthquake on the floor of the Aleutian Deep.

The topography of the ocean floors is none too well known, since in great areas the available soundings are hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. However, the floor of the Atlantic is becoming fairly well known as a result of special surveys since 1920. A broad, well-defined

ridge-the Mid-Atlantic ridge-runs north and south between Africa and the two Americas and nu-merous other major irregularities diversify the Atlantic floor. Closely spaced soundings show that many parts of the oceanic floors are as rugged as mountainous regions of the continents. Use of the recently perfected method of submarine topography. During world war II great strides were made in mapping submarine surfaces, particularly in many parts of the vast Pacific basin.

Most of the continents stand on an average of 2870 feet above sea level. North America averages 2300 feet; Europe averages only 1150 feet; and Asia, the highest of the larger continental subdi-visions, averages 3200 feet. Mount Everest, which is the highest point in the globe, is 29,000 feet above the sea; and as the greatest known depth in the sea is over 35,000 feet, the maximum relief (that is, the difference in altitude between the lowest and highest points) exceeds 64,000 feet, or exceeds 12 miles. The continental masses and the deep-sea basins are relief features of the first order; the deeps, ridges, and volcanic cones that diversify the sea floor, as well as the plains, plateaus, and mountains of the continents, are relief features of the second order. The lands are unendingly subject to a complex of activities summarized in the term erosion, which first sculp-tures them in great detail and then tends to reduce them ultimately to sea level. The modeling of the landscape by weather, running water, and other agents is apparent to the keenly observant eye and causes thinking people to speculate on what must be the final result of the ceaseless wearing down of the lands.
