Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it. In mid-15th century, a Muslim colony was founded in the inhospitable mangrove forest of the Sundarbans near the seacoast in Bagerhat district by a saint Ulugh Khan Jahan. He was the earliest torchbearer of Islam in the South who laid the nucleus of an affluent city during the reign of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah (1442-59), then known as ‘Khalifatabad’ (present Bagerhat). Khan Jahan adorned his city with numerous mosques, tanks, roads and public buildings. The most spectacular of which is the imposing multidomed mosque in Bangladesh, known as the Shat Gambuj Masjid. The stately fabric of the monument stands on the eastern bank of a vast sweet-water tank, clustered around by the heavy foliage of a low-lying countryside characteristic of a seacoast landscape. The mosque is roofed over with 77 squat domes, including 7 chauchala or four-sided domes in the middle row. The vast prayer hall is provided with 11 arched doorways on east and 7 each on north and south for ventilation and light. It has 7 longitudinal aisles and 11 deep bays by a forest of slender stones columns. From these columns spring rows of endless arches, supporting the domes.

The interior and the exterior of the mosque give a view of rather plain architecture but the interior western wall of the mosque was beautifully decorated with terracotta flowers and foliage.

The Statue of Liberty, originally called Liberty Enlightening the World, is a statue on Liberty Island, formerly Bedloe’s island, in the harbour of New York. The statue symbolises liberty in the form of a woman wearing flowing robes and a spiked crown. She holds a torch aloft in her right hand and carries in her left hand a book inscribed “July 4, 1776”. Broken chains, symbolising the overthrow of tyranny, lie at her feet. The statue was designed by the French sculptor Frederic Bartholdi and was given by France to the United States to commemorate the centennial of US independence in 1876. France raised funds by popular subscription to pay for the statue; US donors financed the pedestal and installation of the monument. President Grover Cleveland dedicated the work on October 28, 1886.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it. The first thing is that teaching gives women a better opportunity to take care of both home and career. Very few people realise the amount of work that a teacher has to do. A teacher not only has to take classes but also has to assess students’ test and exam scripts after class hours. Also you have to study and be aware of the latest findings and developments in the field of teaching. In the university teaching profession, a good postgraduate degree from a well-known university is essential for the better career path. However, you can develop as a teacher by doing refresher courses from time to time, by doing study and research and most

importantly, by co-operating with your colleagues. Opportunities for professional development exist equally for every one in teaching. Yet due to social and family circumstances, it often becomes difficult for women to take them. Thus they fall behind in the merit race. It is not that easy for a woman to leave her family and home behind in order to receive training abroad, even sometimes within the country. The most important thing in any woman’s successful career is the support she gets from her family. This is something that can make or break her career. Things are definitely changing though the change is slow and there is much scope for improvement. The new generations of women in the work place seem more assertive and confident in their work. They are more organised and have a lot more courage than what we had in our day. I feel that the new


generation of women can go far into their career as they now have more confidence in themselves. At first, you have to get good qualifications. Qualifications are something that can never be taken away from you. Plan your career as early as possible and try to make a choice that allows you to give back something to your society. 1. Choose the best answer from the alternatives. 1×5=5 (a) A teacher has to work ⎯ after regular class

hours. i) very little ii) classically iii) a lot iv) all the time (b) The women of these days possess more ⎯ than

before. i) prestige ii) self-esteem iii) honour iv) confidence (c) Teaching is a/an ⎯ job for women. i) easy ii) difficult iii) suitable iv) hard (d) Women cannot go abroad for training because of ⎯. i) financial problem ii) family support iii) less merit iv) family and social barriers (e) The new generations of women in the workplace

seem more assertive. Here the word 'assertive' means ⎯.

i) submissive ii) boldly self-assured iii) narrative iv) negative 2. Write whether the following statements are true or

false. If false, give the correct answer. 1×5=5 (a) As a profession teaching does not suit a woman. (b) Gender discrimination exists in teaching. (c) Most of the people have a little idea about the

amount of work a teacher does. (d) The speaker is pessimistic about woman's career in

teaching. (e) The new generations of women are not conservative. 3. Fill in each gap in the following passage with a suitable

But now I can see that the percentage wavers between 40% and 50%”. This is a clear indication that now more than ever women are entering the medical profession. “Mind you these women are here because of their merit” she emphasizes. “In the highly competitive world of the medical profession over the years you can see that there has been a remarkable and notable increase in the participation and performance of women. Due to the nature of the profession there is less discrimination faced by women. The new generation doctors are more assertive, freer and open-minded than we were at that age. They are professional and most of them are quite career-oriented”, comments Dr Nafiza. She however points out that there is still some lacking in the overall training of young doctors. “Earlier it was essential for doctors to go abroad for their post graduate degree in order to get a better exposure and acquire a more professional, cultural orientation in dealing with patients. But nowadays due to access to such postgraduate degrees here in Bangladesh many women opt for a degree in Bangladesh rather than leave their families and go aboard. This limits their perception and vision about how treatment of patients should be, especially, in case of humane patient dealing.” As there are no such specialised training opportunities in Bangladesh, she believes that it is essential to know what is happening around the world. Her advice to the new generation of young women doctors is : “Keep up-to-date with knowledge regarding technology and research.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it. The National Memorial at Savar is a symbol of the nation’s respect for the martyrs of the War of Liberation. It is built with concrete, but made of blood. It stands 150 feet tall, but every martyr it stands for stands so much taller. It is an achievement the dimensions of which can be measured, but it stands for an achievement which is immeasurable. It stands upright for the millions of martyrs who laid down their lives so that we may stand upright, in honour and dignity, amongst the nations of the world. Most prominently visible is the 150 feet tower that stands on a base measuring 130 feet wide. There is actually a series of 7 towers that rise by stages to a height of 150 feet. The foundation was laid on the first anniversary of the Victory Day. There is actually a plan to build a huge complex in several phases. The entire complex will cover an area of 126 acres. The plan of this complex includes a mosque, a library and a museum. The relics of the Liberation War will be kept in the museum. They will ever remind our countrymen and all who would come to visit the

museum of the valiant struggle and supreme sacrifices of a freedom loving people. Here also will be a clear warning to all oppressors that the weapons of freedom need not be very big, and that oppression will always be defeated. The will of people prevails, for man is born to be free. The most moving sight of the complex is the several graves of the martyred freedom fighters close to the tower.

Part A : Reading Test Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it. Most libraries are arranged in a systematic way that makes it possible to locate any book quite easily. All of the books in a library are organised into categories or classes and then arranged alphabetically within their class. There are two systems for organising books in a library. One is called the Dewey Decimal System and the other is known as the Library of the Congress System. Most of the libraries follow the Dewey Decimal System. Under the Dewey Decimal System, the books are grouped into ten major categories or subject areas. Each category is assigned a range of numbers and every book in the category is assigned its own special number within that number range. For example, Science is assigned numbers from 500 to 599. A particular science book can have a number such as 542.46 or 581.93. A

science book would never have a number such as 800 or 200. The number that is assigned to a book is called ‘call number’. 1.
