SECTION - A
Q1. Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow them:
(5)
Everything that is alive needs energy. All animals get the energy they need from
food. People are animals.
Think about the human body as an amazing machine. It can do all kinds of things
for us. Food is the fuel that helps keep the amazing machine running. Plants use
sunlight to make their own food. Animals are not able to do that. Some animals eat
plants. Some animals eat other animals as meat. Some animals, like people, eat
both plants and animals. Since plants make their own food using sunlight, the sun’s
energy is found in plants.
The sun’s energy is very strong. It loses a lot of its strength by the time it goes into
a plant. When we eat plants, we get more of the sun’s energy than when we eat
animals. That’s why it is good to eat fruits and vegetables. When an animal eats a
plant, the energy is less strong. The animal also used its energy to find the plant to
eat. When a second animal eats the first animal, it gets even less energy than the
first animal got. The second animal used a lot of energy to chase its prey. Like a
car that has to be filled with gasoline, living things have to eat again and again.
Instead of gasoline, living things use food as fuel.

On the basis of your reading of the above passage, answer the following
questions:
1. Where do all animals get their energy?
2. Where do plants get their energy?
3. If a third animal eats the second animal, will it get more or less energy?

(a)living
(b) run after
Q2. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow .
(5)

Fuel is a material that is burned in order to get heat and light and also to generate
power. The Process of burning is a chemical reaction. A material combines with
oxygen from the air and gives off energy. The energy is given off in the form of
heat and light. Fuels can also be classified as solid, liquid and gaseous. Wood was
one of the first fuels used by man. It was the easiest to get the cheapest.
After wood started becoming scarce it was replaced by coal. Coal contains a high
percentage of carbon. Carbon is the most important ingredient in most fuels. Fuels
with a high percentage of carbon burn evenly and with a hot flame. The most
important liquid fuels come from petroleum. However, petroleum reserves are
becoming exhausted with the passage of time.
