Class 10 English Sample Paper with Solutions

ENGLISH COMMUNICATIVE

SECTION – A : READING 
 
1. Read the following passage carefully:
 
1. The international craze for shawls made of Shahtoosh, “the wool of kings, will make the Chiru (Tibetan Antelope) extinct in a few years. The Supreme Court‟s directive to the J&K government to ban the manufacture and trade of Shahtoosh products has thus come not a day too soon. In effect, a ban already exists – it is a question of enforcement. The J&K government in 2002 had amended its wildlife act to include the Chiru in Schedule I, thus
prohibiting hunting of the animal and trade of its parts. The Wildlife (Protection) Act of India (1972) also protects the Chiru under Schedule I.
 
2. The Chiru is mostly found in the Tibetan Plateau, often straying into Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim. Its gossamer wool, extremely fine and warm at the same time, is far superior even to the famed Pashmina. The shawls are sold at rates ranging from $ 1000 to 15,000. The Chiru‟s wool cannot be shorn like in sheep. The animal has to be killed, and three to five animals are slaughtered to make enough wool for one shawl. The wool is smuggled into J&K and the master weavers of Kashmir then turn it into highly desirable objects that adorn the shoulders of film stars and fashion celebrities around the world. Before becoming an international fashion craze, it was evidently a prized dowry item in Northern India, available to a privileged few.
 
3. The Wildlife Trust of India, which moved the PIL in 2003 resulting in the Supreme Court directive earlier this week, has estimated that 1000 to 2000 shawls are available for sale in New Delhi on any given day. A worldwide campaign has been started to educate people about the source of the Shahtoosh shawl, on the lines of the anti-ivory and anti-fur campaigns, so that the demand is reduced. The trade has flourished even when the Chiru is protected not only by national laws in India, China and Nepal, but by international treaties. The J&K government should act now to cut a key link in the trade. For weavers and buyers, there is always Pashmina.
 
1.1 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer any eight of the questions that follow:
 
a) Where is the Chiru mostly found?
 
b) What is the International craze for?
 
c) Why are the Chiru killed so recklessly?
 
d) What do the wild life lovers apprehend about the Chiru?
 
e) Why are the Chiru objects available to a very few privileged persons?
 
f) What was the Supreme Court‟s directive to the J &K government?
 
g) What campaign has been started and why?
 
h) What should the J&K government now act upon?
 
i) Under which laws is the trade of the parts of the Chiru banned?
 
2. Read the passage given below :
 
1. If you think that imagination has nothing to do with reality, you are wrong. The Wright brothers wanted to fly, and people considered them lunatics. Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison and Bill Gates were considered as daydreamers, when actually, they were visualizing and imagining their vision.
 
2. Whatever they were imagining years ago is now a solid reality. Imagination has much to do with reality. It shapes the way we see our reality, and therefore, affects our expectations and hopes, our actions and behavior. Imagination is like a software that programs our behavior,expectations and actions. This means that we have to be very careful with what we imagine, since what we see in our mind‟s eye can become our reality.
 
3. If we imagine bad things, we program our mind accordingly, and sooner or later see, act and behave accordingly, and create what we imagined. This also works the other way. Imagine good things, and this will affect your actions and behavior, which consequently would create in your life what you imagined in your mind. Your reality mirrors what goes on in your mind.
 
4. If you imagine yourself weak and poor, you will enact this part in your life, but if you imagine yourself powerful and rich, you will eventually become so. Everything starts in the mind. A business starts as a thought and a mental image. You first imagine yourself possessing a certain kind of car, and then you do something to get it.
 
5. If you wish to lose weight, you start by imagining yourself slim and well-shaped. If this thought is clear and focused, and you allow no doubt, you will sooner or later find the ideas, the information, and the energy to do something about it. If you imagine yourself as an athlete, a teacher or an actor, and repeat this thought in your mind, day after day, this thought will drive you into action, and eventually would turn into reality. This is exactly how successful people become prosperous.
 
6. Four reasons, why your imagination is creating the events in your life.
 
1. When you imagine a certain thing, day after day, gradually, you start thinking about it most of the time. This will drive you instinctively to search for information about it.
 
2. Using your imagination to build a mental picture of what you want tells your subconscious mind that you really want it. Consequently, the subconscious mind will supply you the energy to do something about it.
 
3. Your thoughts create a mental image of the object, situation or people you are thinking about, and in subtle ways, affect you and your environment.
 
4. You, through your imagination, are shaping your life‟s events. If you tend to worry, think negatively and expect failure, you are using your imagination in a negative manner. And vice versa, if you imagine and envision progress, promotion and successful results, you will attract opportunities and take action.
 
2.1Read the given questions and write the answers in about 30-40 words. (Any four)
 
a)How are imagination and reality connected?
 
b)How has the writer compared imagination with?
 
c)How do negative things happen?
 
d)According to the writer, how does the process of losing weight start?
 
e)Why do successful people become prosperous?
 
2.2 Complete the following on the basis of the passage : (Any Two)
 
1. When you imagine a certain fact or thing, you gradually start thinking and this will ________.
 
2. Using your imagination to build a mental picture of your goal, initiates the subconscious mind to ____________________.
 
3. The creation of a mental image of people, facts or goals, in subtle ways _________________.
