 Passage 1
The evolution of agriculture from being a
less productive to a more productive activity
entailed a transition from being less energy-
intensive to being more energy-intensive. This
transformation has been manifest in the change
of agro-ecosystems from ‘hunting and gathering’
to ‘primitive agriculture’ to ‘agro-horticulture’ to
‘agrarian societies’ to ‘modern agriculture.’ In
the process of this transformation, the varieties
of crops chosen, though high-yielding, were
found to be more prone to epidemic diseases.
Extensive use of pesticides and insecticides to
counter them also gave rise to an ever-increasing
potential danger.
The changes in environment caused by
agricultural practices span a variety of issues:
defacement of land, deforestation, loosening of
soil structure, depletion of soil nutrients, water
logging, depletion of ground water resources,
multiple nutrient imbalance, changing pest-
disease-weed syndrome, eutrophication
(enriched nutrient content) of water bodies
and methaemoglobinaemia (a kind of anaemia
caused by water containing nitrates).
Agriculture is the most dominant land
using activity. As settled agriculture
encroaches further into forests and fragile
areas, the ecosystem gets destroyed with
universally acknowledged adverse impacts on
all forms of wildlife. Deforestation is already
known to have caused irreversible damage in
some areas and its continuation would lead
to further ecological disasters. The estimated
current rate of loss of forests in developing
countries at over half a per cent a year, is
perceived as jeopardising the sustainability
of the whole pyramid of systems for human
support based on plant life. Removal of forest
cover also upsets the natural hydrological
system - reducing water-holding capacities of
land, leading to flash floods, soil erosion and
the consequent dry season water shortages
downstream. Three key issues of agro practices
determining sustainability are irrigation, soil
and biocides.
Controlled irrigation is a condition for the
success of intensive agriculture. Problems
related to irrigation range from seepage in the
canal system to excessive irrigation, which
causes salinity and water logging, reducing
aeration and percolation of the applied
fertilizers below the root system. The major
2
problems associated with the unscientific and
unregulated development of ground water are
the over-exploitation of the resource leading
to a fall in water levels causing failure of the
well/tube well, deepening of the structure
resulting in higher cost of pumping as well as
seepage from sewer system.
Soil erosion takes place when the surface
soil is washed away due to excessive rains
and loods, indiscriminate felling of trees,
conversion of forest into cultivated land and
incorrect methods of cultivation. Besides
depleting vegetative cover, overgrazing hardens
the soil, prevents forest regeneration and
causes soil erosion. Excessive use of fertilizers
also leads to micronutrient deiciency in soil.
The applied fertilizers which are not used by
crop plants and percolate down ind their
way into groundwater aquifers, increasing
concentration of nitrates in drinking water,
which could lead to methaemoglobinaemia in
bottle-fed infants. Extra amounts of fertilizers
being washed down with rain water into water
bodies cause eutrophication of the latter.
Biocides like insecticides, herbicides,
fungicides and rodenticides remain active
long after their targets are destroyed. This
makes biocides environmentally dangerous.
Their concentration in the food chain gets
magniied at each trophic level - a process
called ‘biological magniication.’
1. Which information, according to the
passage, is not true?
(a) before settled agriculture agricultural
cultivation was a part of other
cultivations
(b) seeds yielding highly are also more
prone to diseases
(c) use of more energy ensured larger
production
(d) pesticides etc. have compounded
problems instead of solving them
2. Which one of the following is not a
problem caused by excessive use of
fertilizers?
(a) eutrophication
(b) anaemia caused by nitrates
(c) imbalance of the nutrients in soil
(d) improper absorption of fertilizers

Passage 2
Water plays a versatile role in the functioning
of the biosphere. The water cycle has two
distinct branches: the atmospheric branch
and the terrestrial branch. In the atmosphere,
water exists mainly in gaseous form. On the
earth, liquid forms and solid forms (ice/snow)
predominate.
Water is important to the biosphere in
that it is from water that biosphere draws its
most abundant element, hydrogen. Hydrogen
in the form of carbohydrates constitutes a
very important source of energy for all living
things. Although we have plentiful supply of
water in the oceans, it is not of direct use to
us. We have to depend upon a small stock of
water-less than 1% contained in our rivers
and fresh water lakes and in the subsoil. Even
this small proportion can cause havoc to life if
it is not properly managed: the reference here
is to loods.
We return to the subject of loods again
since nature’s fury seems still unabated. While
relief measures are undoubtedly important,
attention has to be focused on the long-term
lood control measures. In the past, We had
4
constructed lood moderation reservoirs
across catchment areas of rivers, and built
19,260 km of embankments and 27,850 km
length of drainage channels. Besides, 18,900
villages have been raised above the lood level
up to March 1997.
The fact is that long-term lood control
measures to be effective should include
both traditional methods and afforestation
measures. The intensity of loods may be
reduced by keeping the drainage channels
clear and removing the accumulated silt from
reservoirs and river beds. In fact, the dams
built have trapped silt coming from the hills
and prevented its large accumulation in river
beds downstream. Hence the new emphasis
on building more dams in the northern rivers
should be welcomed. The embankments also
need to be reinforced. In many places, they
are just made of mud and sand and easily
breached by a little gush of water. Other
improvements should be in the regulation
of water discharge from illed reservoirs and
in the lood forecasting system. Even the
present warning system, though inadequate,
has helped to save many valuable lives and
property. Since the states have been lethargic
in implementing lood control schemes and
since most rivers low through many states, it
would be better if lood control is handled by
the Centre. The mighty Himalayan rivers are
unlikely to be tamed unless we have a basic
understanding as to how loods originate.
Since 1947, Indian and foreign scientists
have been repeatedly emphasizing that the
volume of water in the Himalayan rivers in the
Monsoons is the combined effect of rainfall,
snow melt and glacier discharges. Even the
irst expert committee set up by Mr. Nehru
had opined that a serious study of the snow
melt and glacier discharges is essential for
avoiding lood disasters in the North. But
efforts in this direction, during the last 50
years, have been very inadequate. Now that
satellite pictures are available detailing the
snow cover in the Himalayas over large areas
and their movements, the government would
do well to initiate measures to obtain the
relevant data from such pictures. Field studies
in the Himalayan region would also help lood
control measures.

elder brothers of the animals and the younger
brothers of the gods. Civilization fulils itself
when they are elevated from animality to
spirituality. Religion and spirituality have their
role in this transforming and regenerating
process. Their role should be redeined and
reformulated in the modern context.
Religion is awareness: it is wisdom and
enlightenment. Bigotry, hatred, dogma,
fanatical fury, intolerance and such negative
elements are alien to it. “I was born not to
share men’s hatred but their love” (Antigone:
Sophocles). True religion is free from the
trappings of superstition, dogma, ritual,
quackery, magic and witchcraft. It is sensitive
to social needs. Holiness, purity, charity,
human equality, service to human beings,
etc., are religious universals and not the
prerogative of any one faith.
Religion and spirituality should not be
equated with otherworldliness or ascetic
seclusion and escape from life’s realities. They
are related to life here and now and provide
the guidelines for the art of living. One is
most religious and spiritual when one is most
human. A Russian peasant remarked at the
conclusion of a lecture by Maxim Gorky on
the marvels of science: “We are taught to ly in
the air like birds and swim in water like ish,
but how to live on earth, we do not know.”
Religions are many, but religion is one.
There is no relative superiority of one
religion over another. One should go beyond
denominational religion to understand religion.
What the world needs is a fellowship of faiths
on a common march towards a common goal.’’
Man must evolve for all human conlicts a
method which rejects revenge, aggression and
retaliation. The foundation of such a method
is love.” These words of Martin Luther King
sum up the essence of religion. The present
cancerous growth of hatred and violence can
be averted by the inculcation and assimilation
of the spirit of religion - religion understood
to mean “reinement,” “sweetness and light,”
“the culture of the soul,” and “the culture of
tolerance.” The question is not, “why religion?”
but “what kind of religion?”
12
28. The sentence “religion has become its
own enemy” indicates that:
(a) religion is getting self-destructive
(b) constituting beliefs are working
against the interest of that faith
(c) religion is breeding people who are
opposing the same religion
(d) religion is eroding values
29. The sentence “religion should graduate
into spirituality” means:
(a) people should value spirituality more
(b) religion should give way to spirituality
(c) religion should uplift itself to
spirituality
(d) salvation should be the sole aim of
religion
30. Which one of the following is not a
core value of all religions?
(a) all religions are same
(b) people of the whole world are brothers
(c) man is a divine creature
(d) charity is a cardinal part of faith
31. True religion, according to the passage,
is not:
(a) sensitivity
(b) divine power
(c) service
(d) deeper awareness
Passage 4
Laughter is the best medicine. If you can
laugh when you are ill you will get your health
back sooner. If you cannot laugh, even if you
are healthy, sooner or later you will lose your
health and you will become ill.
Laughter brings inner energy to the fore.
When you really laugh, for those few moments
you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking
stops. It is impossible to laugh and think
together. When you really laugh, suddenly,
the mind disappears. And the whole Zen
methodology is how to get into no-mind.

 Dancing and laughter are the best, natural,
easily approachable doors to attaining no-
mind. Existence melts into you; there is an
overlapping of boundaries. And if you are
really dancing - not managing it but allowing
it to manage you, allowing it to possess you -
if you are possessed by dance, thinking stops.
The same happens with laughter. If you are
possessed by laughter, thinking stops. And if
you know a few moments of no-mind, those
glimpses will promise you many more rewards
that are going to come.
Before the mind disappears there open two
alternatives: sleep or sushupti/samadhi and
satori. When thinking disappears, these are
the two alternatives left: either you move into
satori – a fully alert, no-thought state; or a
fully asleep, no-thought state-sleep. And sleep
is more natural, because you have practiced it
long. If you live 60 years, for 20 years you have
been asleep. It is the greatest activity that you
have been doing; one-third of your life is spent
in sleep. Laughing, how can you fall asleep?
It brings a state of no-mind and no-thought,
and does not allow you to fall asleep.
In a few Zen monasteries, every monk has
to start his morning with laughter, and has to
end his night with laughter. It will be dificult,
living in a family set-up, to suddenly laugh
early in the morning. But do try it; it’s worth
getting out of bed laughing. Yes, for no reason
at all. Isn’t it good to be alive?
One day you will not get up in the morning.
One day the milkman will knock at the door,
the spouse will be snoring, but you will not
be there. One day, death will come. Before it
knocks you down, have a good laugh - while
there is time, have a good laugh.
14
And look at the whole ridiculousness: again
the same day starts; you have done the same
things again and again for your whole life.
Again you will get into your slippers, rush to
the bathroom - for what? Brushing your teeth,
taking a shower - for what? Where are you
going? Getting ready and no where to go!
Look at the whole ridiculousness of it
- and have a good laugh. Laughter leads to
more laughter. And almost always I have seen
people doing just the wrong thing. From early
morning they get out of bed complaining,
gloomy, sad, depressed, and miserable. Then
one thing leads to another - and for nothing.
And they get angry ... it is very bad because it
will change your climate for the whole day, it
will set a pattern for the whole day.
In their insanity, Zen people are saner than
you are. They start the day laughing. Then
the whole day you will feel laughter bubbling,
welling up. There are so many ridiculous
things happening all over. God must be dying
of laughter - down the centuries, for eternity,
seeing this ridiculousness of the world.
The people that He has created, and all the
absurdities - it is really a comedy. He must be
laughing.
If you become silent after your laughter,
one day you will hear God also laughing, you
will hear the whole existence laughing with
you - even the trees and stones and stars.
32. We, according to the passage, can not
laugh at the fact that:
(a) our life is full of absurdities
(b) our existence is, in fact, ridiculous
(c) death shall wipe us out one day
(d) we are living
33. In the state of no-mind:
(a) chain of thoughts lingers
(b) we are in a trans - like state
(c) we get unconscious of the self
(d) we may be awarded by the Heaven

Passage 5
Many people believe that science and
religion are contrary to each other. But this
notion is wrong. As a matter of fact both are,
complementary to each other. The aim of both
these institutions is to explain different aspects
of life, universe and human existence. There
is no doubt that the methods of science and
religion are different. The method of science is
observation, experimentation and experience.
Science takes its recourse to progressive
march towards perfection. The tools of
religion are faith, intuition and spoken word
of the enlightened. In general, while science
is inclined towards reason and rationality,
spiritualism is the essence of religion.
In earlier times when man appeared on
earth he was overawed at the sight of violence
of powerful aspects of nature. In certain cases,
the usefulness of different natural objects of
nature overwhelmed man. Thus began the
worship of forces of nature ire, the sun, the
rivers, the rocks, the trees, the snakes, etc.
The holy scriptures were written by those who
had developed harmony between external
nature and their inner self. Their objective
was to ennoble, elevate and liberate the
human spirit and mind. But the priestly class
took upon itself the monopoly of scriptural
knowledge and interpretation to its own
advantage. Thus the entire human race was
in chains. Truth was louted and progressive,
liberal and truthful ideas, ideas expressing
doubt and skepticism were suppressed and
their holders punished. It was in these trying
circumstances that the science emerged as
a saviour of mankind. But its path was not
smooth and safe. The scientists and free
thinkers were tortured. This was the fate of
Copernicus, Galileo, Bruno and others. But,
by and by science gained ground.

religion both
(a) rely on the spoken word of the
enlightened
(b) emerged out of the fear of man

“science emerged as a saviour of
mankind”?
(a) many great thinkers contributed to
the progress of science
(b) science takes recourse to progressive

Passage 6
Emile Durkheim, the irst person to be
formally recognised as a sociologist and the
most scientiic of the pioneers, conducted a
study that stands as a research model for
sociologists today. His investigation of suicide
was, in fact, the irst sociological study to
use statistics. In Suicide (1964, originally
published in 1897) Durkheim documented

his contention that some aspects of human
behaviour - even something as allegedly
individualistic as suicide - can be explained
without reference to individuals.
Like all of Durkheim’s works, Suicide must
be viewed within the context of his concern
for social integration. Durkheim wanted to
see if suicide rates within a social entity (for
example, a group, organization or society) are
related to the degree to which individuals are
socially involved (integrated and regulated).
Durkheim described three types of suicide-
egoistic, anomie and altruistic. Egoistic
suicide is promoted when individuals do not
have suficient social ties. Since single (never
married) adults, for example, are not heavily
involved with family life, they are more likely
to commit suicide than are married adults.
Altruistic suicide, on the other hand, is more
likely to occur when social integration is too
strong. The ritual suicide of Hindu widows on
their husbands’ funeral pyres is one example.
Military personnel, trained to lay down
their lives for their country, provide another
illustration.
Durkheim’s third type of suicide - anomic
suicide - increases when the social regulation of
individuals is disrupted. For example, suicide
rates increase during economic depressions.
People who suddenly ind themselves without
a job or without hope of inding one are more
prone to kill themselves. Suicides may also
increase during periods of prosperity. People
may loosen their social ties by taking new
jobs, moving to new communities or inding
new mates.
Using data from the government population
reports of several countries (much of it from
the French government statistical ofice),
Durkheim found strong support for his line of
reasoning. Suicide rates were higher among
single than married people and among people
involved in nationwide crisis. It is important to
realise that Durkheim’s primary interest was
not in the empirical indicators he used such
as suicide rates among military personnel,
married people and so forth. Durkheim used
22
the following indicators to support several of
his contentions: (i) social behaviour can be
explained by social rather than psychological
factors, (ii) suicide is affected by the degree
of integration and regulation within social
entities, and (iii) since society can be
studied scientiically, sociology is worthy of
recognition in the academic world. Durkheim
was successful on all three counts.
57. Higher suicide rate during rapid
progress in a society is a manifestation
of
(a) altruistic suicide
(b) anomie suicide
(c) egoistic suicide
(d) none of these
58. Ritual suicide of Hindu widows on
their husband's funeral pyres was
(a) a manifestation of strong social
integration
(b) an example of brutality against
women
(c) an example of anomie suicide
(d) an example of egoistic suicide
59. According to Durkheim, altruistic
suicide is more likely among
(a) military personnel than among
civilians
(b) single people than among married
people
(c) divorcees than married people
(d) people involved in nationwide
economic crisis
60. To support his contentions, Durkheim
relied on the following indicators:
(a) social behaviour is explicable
predominantly through social factors
(b) suicide is contingent upon the degree
of regulation and interaction
(c) recognising sociology is to
acknowledge that society is
susceptible to scientiic investigation
(d) all of these
