English Class 10 Sample Paper

SECTION – A

(Reading Skill)

Q.1 Read the following passage carefully : 

Man is a singular creature. He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals so that, unlike them, he is not a figure in the landscape; he is a shaper of the landscape. In body and in mind he is the explorer of nature, the ubiquitous animal who did not find but has made his home in every continent.

Man is distinguished from other animals by his imaginative gifts. He makes plans, inventions, new discoveries, by putting different talents together; and his discoveries become more subtle and penetrating, as he learns to combine his talents in more complex and intimate ways. So the great discoveries of different ages and different cultures, in technique, in science, in the arts, express in their progression a richer and more intricate conjunction of human faculties, an ascending trellis of his gifts.

Of course, it is tempting – very tempting to a scientist – to hope that the most original achievements of the mind are also the most recent. And we do indeed have cause to be proud of some modern work. Think of the unravelling of the code of heredity in the DNA spiral; or the work going forward on the special faculties of the human brain. Think of the philosophic insight that saw into the Theory of Relativity or the minute behaviour of matter on the atomic scale.

Yet to admire only our own successes, as if they had no past (and were sure of the future), would make a caricature of knowledge. For human achievement, and science in particular, is not a museum of finished constructions. It is a progress, in which the first experiments of the alchemists also have a formative place, and the sophisticated arithmetic that the Mayan astronomers of Central America invented for themselves independently of the Old World. The stonework of Machu Picchu in the Andes and the geometry of the Alhambra in Moorish Spain seem to us, five centuries later, exquisite work of decorative art. But if we stop our appreciation there, we miss the originality of the two cultures that made them.

In every age there is a turning point, a new way of seeing and asserting the

coherence of the world. It is frozen in the statues of Easter Island that put a stop to time – and in the medieval clocks in Europe that once also seemed to say the last word about the heavens for ever. Each culture tries to fix its visionary moment,when it was transformed by a new conception either of nature or of man. But in retrospect, what commands our attention as much are the continuities – the thoughts that run or recur from one civilization to another. There is nothing in modern chemistry more unexpected than putting together alloys with new properties; that was discovered after the time of the birth of Christ in South America, and long before that in Asia. Splitting and fusing the atom both derive,conceptually, from a discovery made in prehistory that stone and all matter has a structure along which it can be split and put together in new arrangements.
 
(A) On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the following questions briefly.
(i) Why is man a singular creature?
(ii) How is man distinguished from other animals?
(iii) What does each culture try to do?
 
(B) Complete the following sentences

(ii) Man’s new discoveries become more subtle and penetrating as he________________________

(C) Find words from the passage which mean the same.
(i) Unlike anything else
(ii) Considering the past
 
Q.2 Read the given poem carefully: 
Silver
Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon
This way, and that , she peers and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silver thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log.
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered, sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam
By silver reeds in a silver stream.
