1 Summative Assessment I, 2011 English Communicative Class - IX Maximum Marks: 90 Time : 3 hours Instructions: The question paper is divided into four sections. Section A: Reading 20 marks Section B: Writing 25 marks Section C: Grammar 20 marks Section D: Literature 25 marks Section A (Reading 20 Marks) Q1. Read the following passage carefully: (10 marks) The Olympic flame or Olympic fire is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek God Zeus by Prometheus, its origin lies in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. For the ancient Greeks, fire had divine connotations. Therefore, a fire permanently burns on an altar in Olympia. During the Olympic games which honoured Zeus, additional fires were lit at his temple and that of his wife, Hera. The modern Olympic flame is ignited at the site where the temple of Hera used to stand. Fire did not appear at the modern Olympics until The Dutch architect Jan Wils had included a tower in his design for the Olympic stadium for the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics and came up with the idea of having a fire burn throughout. It has been part of the modern Olympic games ever since. The idea of an Olympic flame was met with enthusiasm, and was incorporated as a symbol of Olympism. The modern torch relay was introduced at the 1936 summer Olympics in Berlin. German sports official and sports scientist Carl Dien conceived the idea of an Olympic relay for the 1936 summer Olympics in Berlin. More than 3000 runners carried the torch form Olympia to Berlin. German track and field athlete Fritz Schilgen was the last to carry the torch, igniting the flame in the stadium. The Olympic flame is nowadays ignited several months before the opening celebrations of the Olympic games at the site of the ancient Olympics in Olympia, Greece. Eleven priestresses, played by actors, light the fire by placing a torch in a concave parabolic mirror which concentrates rays from the sun. The torch is then transported to the host city of the upcoming Olympics by means of a torch relay. Page 1 of 10
2 Choose the correct alternative from the given options and complete the sentences. Write only the answer in your answer script: I (1) Olympic games honoured the Greek God. (2) The Olympic flames burnt on an. (3) A fire permanently burns on an altar in Olympia because. (4) Olympic flame is lighted at the. (5) The idea of an Olympic flame was met with. (6) They light the fire by placing a torch. II Fill in the blanks with one word only : The Olympic games are an (a) sports festival held every (b) years in a different country. Its purpose is to encourage (c) in games and to forge (d) among people of the world. III Find words in the passage that mean the following : (a) everlasting (b) extinguish Q2. Read the following passage carefully: (5 marks) An owl is a bird. There are two basic types of owls : typical owls and barn owls. Owls live in almost every country of the world. Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night. Owls are predators - they hunt the food that they eat. Owls hunt for mice and other small mammals, insects, and even fish. Owls are well adapted for hunting. Their soft, fluffy feathers make their flight nearly silent. They have very good hearing which helps them to hunt well in the darkness. The sharp hooked beaks and claws of the owl make it very easy to tear apart their prey quickly, although owls also eat some prey whole. Owl's eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both the eyes of the owl face front. The owl cannot move its eyes. Owls are far - sighted, which means they can see very well far away... but they can t see up close very well at all. Fortunately, their distant vision is what they use for hunting, and they can see far away even in low light. Owls have facial disks around their eyes, tufts of feathers in a circle around each eye. These facial disks are thought to help the Owl's hearing. Owls can turn their heads 180 degrees. This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all Page 2 of 10
3 the owl needs to see what s going on all around him. Perhaps because of the Owl's mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions about owls. Many cultures believe that owls are unusually wise. Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad omens. The screech of the barn owl is considered by many to sound eerily human, like a person screaming. However, owls probably do not interact with the fates of humans at all. In fact, some owl species may become extinct because of humans. (a) Which of the following is not true about owls? (i) Owls eat small animals. (ii) Owls are able to fly silently. (iii) Owls have the best hearing of all birds. (iv) Owls have poor vision (b) The eyesight of the owl is used for. (i) flying (ii) hunting (iii) sleeping (iv) none of these (c) The purpose of this short article is. (i) to entertain (ii) to inform (iii) to persuade (iv) none of these (d) Another good title for this story can be. (i) Owls hunt at night (ii) Owls can fly silently (iii) Owls are interesting animals (iv) Owls have flexible necks (e) Which of the following is true? (i) The facial disks of the owl help them to see. (ii) Owls have a strong, bent beak. (iii) Most owls hunt for food during the day. (iv) Owls are dangerous to humans. Page 3 of 10
