1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: (10x1=10)
Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help researchers find out why a killer whale population off the northwest
coast of the United States is on the decline. He searches for whale faeces floating on the surface of the water,
which are then collected for examination. He is one of the elite team of detection dogs used by scientists
studying a number of species including right whales and killer whales.
Conservation canines are fast becoming indispensable tools for biologists according to Aimee Hurt, associate
director and co-founder of Working Dogs for Conservation, based in Three Forks, Montana.
Over the last few years, though, so many new conservations dog projects have sprung up that Hurt can no
longer keep track of them all. Her organization’s dogs and their handlers are fully booked to assist field
researchers into 2012.
“Dogs have such a phenomenal sense of smell”, explained Sam Wasser, director of the Center for
Conservation biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has worked with scat-detection dogs
since 199(g). Scientists have been using Conservation Canines in their research since 199(g). These dogs have
enabled them to non-invasively access vast amount of genetic and physiological information which is used to
tackle conservation problems around the world. Such information has proved vital for determining the causes
and consequences of human disturbances on wildlife as well as the actions needed to mitigate such impacts.
The ideal detection dog is extremely energetic with an excessive play drive. These dogs will happily work all
• day long, motivated by the expectation of a ball game as a reward for sample detection. The obsessive, high
energy personalities of detection dogs also make them difficult to maintain as pets. As a result, they frequently
find themselves abandoned to animal shelters, facing euthanasia. The programme rescues these dogs and
offers them a satisfying career in conservation research.
Attempt the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read:
a. According to the text there are a few________ detection dogs like Tucker.
b. Tucker sniffs for whale________
c. The dogs are special because they assist in research without ________
d. The ideal detection dog ________

2.a. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: (10x1=10)

1. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. When areas in and around Leh began to experience water
shortages, life didn’t grind to a halt. Why? Because Chewang Norphel, a retired civil engineer in the Jammu
and Kashmir government came up with the idea of artificial glaciers.
2. Ladakh, a cold desert at an altitude of 3,000-3,500 meters above sea level, has a low average annual rainfall
rate of 50 mm. Glaciers have always been the only source of water. Agriculture is completely dependent on
glacier melt unlike the rest of river/monsoon-fed India. But over the years with increasing effects of climate
change, rainfall and snowfall patterns have been changing, resulting in severe shortage and drought situations.
Given the severe winter conditions, the window for farming is usually limited to one harvest season.
3. It is located between the natural glacier above and the village below. The one closer to the village and
lowest in altitude melts first, providing water during April/May, the crucial sowing season. Further layers of
ice ensuring continuous supply to the fields. Thus, farmers have been able to manage two crops instead of
one. It costs about a 1,50,000 and above to create one.
4. Fondly called the “glacier man”, Mr. Norphel has designed over 15 artificial glaciers in and around Leh
since 1987. In recognition of his pioneering effort, he was conferred the Padma Shri by President Pranab
Mukherjee, in 2015.
5. There are few basic steps followed in creating the artificial glacier.
6. River or stream water at higher altitude is diverted to a shaded area of the hill, facing north, where the winter
sun is blocked by a ridge of a mountain range. At the start of winter/November, the diverted water is made to
flow onto sloping hill face through distribution channels. Stone embankments are built at regular intervals
which impede the flow of water, making shallow pools and freeze, forming a cascade of ice along the slope.
Ice formation continues for 3-4 months resulting in a large accumulation of ice which is referred to as an
“artificial glacier.”
(i) A farmer
(iv) A doctor

2.b. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: (10x1=10)
Then all the windows of the grey wooden house (Miss Hilton used to live here. She expired last week), were
thrown open, a thing I had never seen before.
At the end of the day a sign was nailed on the mango tree: FOR SALE.
Nobody in the street knew Miss Hilton. While she lived, her front gate was always locked and no one ever
saw her leave or saw anybody go in. So, even if you wanted to, you couldn’t feel sorry and say that you missed
Miss Hilton.
When I think of her house, I see just two colours. Grey and green. The green of the mango tree, the grey of
the house and the grey of the high iron fence that prevented you from getting at the mangoes.
If your cricket ball fell in Miss Hilton’s courtyard you never got it back. It wasn’t the mango season when
Miss Hilton died. But we got back about ten or twelve of our cricket balls.
The house was sold and we were prepared to dislike the new owners even before they came. I think we were
a little worried. Already we had one resident of the street who kept on complaining about us to our parents.
He complained that we played cricket on the pavement; and if we were not playing cricket, he complained
that we were making too much noise anyway.
One afternoon when I came back from school Pal said, ‘‘Is a man and a woman. She pretty pretty, but he ugly
like hell.’’ I didn’t see much. The front gate was open, but the windows were shut again. I heard a dog barking
in an angry way.
One thing was settled pretty quickly. Whoever these people were they would never be the sort of people to
complain that we were making noise and disturbing their sleep.
A lot of noise came from the house that night. The radio was going at full volume until midnight when the
radio station closed down. The dog was barking and the man was shouting. I didn’t hear the woman.
On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, complete the statements that follow:
a. Nobody went into Miss Hilton’s house because her front _________ .
4
b. Her house had only two colours, (i) ______, and (ii) _______ .
c. The high iron fence did not let the boys get __________ .
d. They never got it back if their __________ fell into her courtyard.
e. The boys were ready to dislike the ____________ .
f. One resident of the street always ___________ .
g. The new owners of Miss Hilton’s house were (i) _______, and (ii) _______ .
h. The man was shouting, the dog was barking, only __________ .
