20 Name... Class - VII M.M. : 40 Sample Paper Time : 60 minutes Subject: English (10 marks) 1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: 5 The beginning of this fun-filled season with the sun hidden behind the grey clouds brings cheer to many of us waiting eagerly to splash in the rains. Of course not everything about rains is glamorous.especially when you think about endless traffic jams, the bad roads dotted with potholes, un-cleared garbage and the spate of water borne diseases. Also viral infections like cold and cough make their presence felt. Most infectious diseases prevalent in rainy season can be prevented by simply washing our hands regularly. Scrubbing hands regularly with water and soap can prevent us from contacting respiratory and diarrheal diseases. Kids have a lower level of immunity and hence hand washing becomes a crucial part of their life style. When playing especially during monsoon season kids come into contact with germs and can unknowingly become infected simply by touching their nose, eyes or mouth.the Food and Drug Administration states that the human influenza virus can survive on surfaces for up to eight hours, making people susceptible to catching it each time they touch the infected surface. Hence repeated hand washing is required. To make the best of the rainy season we should follow some simple guidelines.first of all if we decide to get wet in rains we should change into a dry set of clothes at the earliest. Also we should keep raw food items at bay and wash vegetables and fruits thoroughly before use. Moreover strict kitchen hygiene should be maintained in order to enjoy one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. Also, in order to have a trouble free rainy season home made fresh food should be given preference over the fast food sold in the market. (i) People wait for the rains since they can in it. (ii) After getting wet in rains we should put on dry clothes. (iii) Besides maintaining kitchen hygiene we should so as to keep us disease free in rainy season.

24 Name... Class - IX M.M. : 40 Sample Paper Subject: English (10 marks) Time : 60 minutes 1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: 5 What exercise is to body, reading is to mind. There are different purpose of reading. One of them is deriving pleasure. Children reading for their pleasure rarely stop to ask about the words. They want to get on with the story. If the word is important, they can usually make a good guess about what it is. He drew an arrow from his quiver. Easy to see that quiver is some sort of gadget to put arrows in. More complicated words they figure out by meeting them in different contexts. People learn to read well and get good vocabulary, from books, not work books or dictionaries. As a kid I read years ahead of my age, but I never looked up words in dictionaries, and didn t even have a dictionary. In my lifetime I don t believe I have looked even as many as fifty words - neither have most good readers. Most people don t know how dictionaries are made. Each new dictionary starts from scratch. The company making the dictionary employs thousands of editors, to each of whom they give a list of words. The job of the editor is to collect as many examples as possible of the ways in which these words are actually used. They look for the words in books, newspapers, and so forth and every time they find one, they cut out or copy that particular example. Then after reading these examples they decide from the context what the writer in each case had meant by the words. From these they make definitions. A dictionary in other words, is a collection of people s opinions about what words mean as other people use them. (a) How do children find out meanings when they are reading for pleasure? (b) Does the passage suggest that dictionary is essential for a good vocabulary? Why or why not? (c) Write any one step in the process of making a dictionary. (d) Define a dictionary in your own words. (e) Find the phrase in the passage which means calculate/think about until one understands. 2.

26 l NAME.... CLASS:XI (Arts) T.M : 40 Sample Paper Time:1 hr SUBJECT : ENGLISH (15 MARKS) Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Ludwig Van Beethoven ( ) The composer came of a musical family; for his grandfather was Kapeilmeister, and his father, a tenor singer, filled a small musical post at Cologne. He was born at Bonn in December His father had become a confirmed toper, and the boy suffered in consequence. The father had heard of the prodigy Mozart, and the money he had brought his parents; and he conceived the notion of exploiting his own son in the same way. Thus he kept him slaving at the piano, and thrashed him when he did not practice long enough. There are stories of the sot coming home late and dragging the little fellow out of bed to go to the keyboard. This degraded specimen ended his life by his own hand, but not before his conduct had cast a gloom over his son s youth which greatly affected his after years. Beethoven seems to have had no regular course of instruction in Bonn, but when he was seventeen he went to Vienna and had some lessons from Mozart. Later on, he had lessons from Haydn; but the two did not get on well together, their natures being totally different. Beethoven finally left Bonn when he was twenty-two, and settled in Vienna, where he gradually made a name for himself. He began to appear in public as a player and in 1796 played before the King in Berlin; but he soon gave up playing for composing. His first works were roundly abused by the critics even some that we now regard as among his. greatest creations. Weber said of the Seventh Symphony that its composer was quite ripe for the madhouse. Then, when deafness came upon him the tragedy of his life the sapient fellows found that the horrors of sound in his works were due to the fact that he could not hear them himself. When Fidelio was first performed, it was said that never before had anything so incoherent, coarse, wild, and ear-splitting been heard! Of course, the deafness had nothing to do with it. Beethoven, like all really great composers, was simply before his time. But the deafness had a great deal to do with Beethoven himself. It turned him into a wretched misanthrope, and well-nigh caused him to end his life. Indirectly it prevented him from marrying. In the theatre he had to lay his ears close to the orchestra in order to understand the actors, and the higher notes of the instruments and voices he could not hear at a U when only a little distance away. Fidelio was begun in 1804 and the affliction, first evidenced in 1798, had become acute four years before that. We need not dwell on it. From the time of his deafness onwards, he was constantly adding to the world s stores of the best in music. His humour was of the sardonic kind, as when he sent a tuft of hair from a goat s bearded to a lady admirer, who had asked for a strand from his own leonine locks. When lying on his death-bed he had to be tapped. Better water from the body than from the pen, he observed to the doctor. When he realized that his end was near, he said to those around him: Clap hands, friends; the play is over. And so, on the 26th of March, 1827, this great master of tone went out to the darkness of the Silent Land. 1.

Beethoven finally left Bonn when he was twenty-two, and settled in Vienna, where he gradually made a name for himself. He began to appear in public as a player and in 1796 played before the King in Berlin; but he soon gave up playing for composing. His first works were roundly abused by the critics even some that we now regard as among his. greatest creations. Weber said of the Seventh Symphony that its composer was quite ripe for the madhouse. Then, when deafness came upon him the tragedy of his life the sapient fellows found that the horrors of sound in his works were due to the fact that he could not hear them himself. When Fidelio was first performed, it was said that never before had anything so incoherent, coarse, wild, and ear-splitting been heard! Of course, the deafness had nothing to do with it. Beethoven, like all really great composers, was simply before his time. But the deafness had a great deal to do with Beethoven himself. It turned him into a wretched misanthrope, and well-nigh caused him to end his life. Indirectly it prevented him from marrying. In the theatre he had to lay his ears close to the orchestra in order to understand the actors, and the higher notes of the instruments and voices he could not hear at a U when only a little distance away. Fidelio was begun in 1804 and the affliction, first evidenced in 1798, had become acute four years before that. We need not dwell on it. From the time of his deafness onwards, he was constantly adding to the world s stores of the best in music. His humour was of the sardonic kind, as when he sent a tuft of hair from a goat s bearded to a lady admirer, who had asked for a strand from his own leonine locks. When lying on his death-bed he had to be tapped. Better water from the body than from the pen, he observed to the doctor. When he realized that his end was near, he said to those around him: Clap hands, friends; the play is over. And so, on the 26th of March, 1827, this great master of tone went out to the darkness of the Silent Land. 1.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Ludwig Van Beethoven ( ) The composer came of a musical family; for his grandfather was Kapeilmeister, and his father, a tenor singer, filled a small musical post at Cologne. He was born at Bonn in December His father had become a confirmed toper, and the boy suffered in consequence. The father had heard of the prodigy Mozart, and the money he had brought his parents; and he conceived the notion of exploiting his own son in the same way. Thus he kept him slaving at the piano, and thrashed him when he did not practice long enough. There are stories of the sot coming home late and dragging the little fellow out of bed to go to the keyboard. This degraded specimen ended his life by his own hand, but not before his conduct had cast a gloom over his son s youth which greatly affected his after years. Beethoven seems to have had no regular course of instruction in Bonn, but when he was seventeen he went to Vienna and had some lessons from Mozart.
