English Question Papers for Class 8 (2026-27)

SECTION A- READING 
 
I. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: 
 
Inside the caravan, I stood on a chair and lit the oil lamp in the ceiling. I had some weekend homework to do and this was as good a time as any to do it. I laid my books on the table and sat down. But I found it impossible to keep my mind on my work. The clock showed half past seven. This was the twilight time. He would be there now. I pictured him in his old navy blue sweater and peaked cap, walking soft-footed up the track towards the wood. He told me he wore the sweater because navy-blue hardly showed up in the dark, black was even better, he said. The peaked cap was important too, he explained, because the peak casts a shadow over one’s face. Just about now he would be wriggling through the hedge and entering the wood. Inside the wood, I could see him treading carefully over the leafy ground, stopping, listening, going on again and again all the time searching and searching for the keeper who would be standing somewhere, as still as a post, behind a big tree with a gun under his arm. Keepers hardly move at all when they are in a wood watching for poachers, he had told me. They stand dead still, right up against the trunk of a tree and it’s not easy to spot a motionless man in that position at twilight.
 
1. On the basis of your reading the passage, complete the following sentences appropriately.
 
a) The narrator found it impossible to work because____________________.
 
b) He wore a navy-blue sweater as it_________________________________.
 
c) The keepers stood still against the trunk of a tree to ___________________ .
 
d) The peaked cap was important for him _______________________________.
 
e) Find a word from para 2 that means twisting and turning __________________
 
II Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: 
 
Be like a flower. One must try to become like a flower: open, rank, equal, generous an kind. Do you know what it means? A flower is open to all that surrounds it: nature, light, the rays of the sun, the wind etc. It exerts a spontaneous influence on all that is around it. It radiates joy and beauty. It is frank. It hides nothing of its beauty and lets its fragrance flow frankly out of itself. What is it within and what is in its depths, it lets it come out so that everyone can see it. It is equal: it has no preferences. Everyone can enjoy its beauty and its perfume without rivalry. It is equal and the same for everybody. There is no difference, or anything whatsoever.
 
Then generous without reserve or restriction, it gives away the mysterious beauty and the very own perfume of Nature. It sacrifices itself entirely for our pleasure, even its life it sacrifices to express this beauty and the secret of the things gathered within itself.
And then kind: it has such tenderness; it is so sweet, so close to us, so loving. Its presence fills us with joy. It is always cheerful and happy. Happy is he who can exchange his qualities with the real qualities of the flowers. Try to cultivate in yourself their refined qualities.
