READING COMPREHENSION: this section has ten questions. Answer ALL the questions

Passage 1: read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow

Chocolate –– there’s nothing quite like it, is there? Chocolate is simply delicious. What is chocolate? Where does it come from? Christopher Columbus was probably the first to take cocao beans from the New World to Europe in around 1502. But the history of chocolate goes back at least 4,000 years! The Aztecs, who lived in America, thought that their bitter cocao drink was a divine gift from heaven. In fact, the scientist Carolus Linnaeus named the plant Theobroma, which means “food of the gods.” The Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez went to America in 1519. He visited the Mexican emperor Montezuma. He saw that Montezuma drank cocao mixed with vanilla and spices. Cortez took some cocao home as a gift to the Spanish King Charles. In Spain, people began to drink Cortez’s chocolate in a drink with chili peppers. However, the natural taste of cocao was too bitter for most people. To sweeten the drink, Europeans added sugar to the cocao drink. As a sweet drink, it became more popular. By the 17th century, rich people in Europe were drinking it. Later, people started using chocolate in pastries, like pies and cakes. In 1828, Dutch chocolate makers started using a new process for removing the fat from cocao beans, and getting to the center of the cocao bean. The Dutch chocolate maker Conrad J. van Houten made a machine that pressed the fat from the bean. The resulting powder mixed better with water than cocao did. Now, some call van Houten’s chocolate “Dutch chocolate.” It was easy to mix Dutch chocolate powder with sugar. So other chocolate makers started trying new recipes that used powdered chocolate. People started mixing sweetened chocolate with cocoa butter to make solid chocolate bars. In 1849, an English chocolate maker made the first chocolate bar. In the 19th century, the Swiss started making milk chocolate by mixing powdered milk with sweetened chocolate. Milk chocolate has not changed much since this process was invented. Today, two countries - Brazil and Ivory Coast - account for almost half the world’s chocolate. The United States imports most of the chocolate in the world, but the Swiss eat the most chocolate per person. The most chocolate eaten today is sweet milk chocolate, but people also eat white chocolate and dark chocolate. Cocoa and dark chocolate are believed to help prevent heart attacks, or help keep them from happening. They are supposed to be good for the circulatory system. On the other hand, the high fat content of chocolate can cause weight gain, which is not good for people’s health. Other health claims for chocolate have not been proven, but some research shows that chocolate could be good for the brain. Chocolate is a popular holiday gift. A popular Valentine’s Day gift is a box of chocolate candies with a card and flowers. Chocolate is sometimes given for Christmas and birthdays. Chocolate eggs are

Passage 2: read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

In 1760, a man named Tiphaigne de la Roche made a bizarre prediction. In an imaginary

story called Giphantie, mirror images of scenes from nature could be captured permanently on a

canvas covered with a sticky material. After the material dried in darkness, the image would

remain on the canvas forever. At the time, the idea was unheard of. It was not until the following

century that the concept of photography was born, starting with some experiments by Nicéphore

Niépce.

Nicéphore Niépce, who was a French inventor, was interested in lithography, which is a

printmaking technique. He was experimenting with lithography when he found a way of copying

etchings onto glass and pewter plates using a chemical that changes when it is exposed to light.

He learned to burn images onto the plates and then print the images on paper. He shared his

findings with Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre, who improved the process and announced it to the

French Academy of Sciences in 1839. The Daguerreotype, the photography method named after

Daguerre, met with great success. It was so successful, in fact, that French newspapers said the

French public had an illness called Daguerreotypomania! Daguerreotypes were inexpensive and

were suitable for portraiture. People called the Daguerreotype a “mirror with a memory.” Some

Portrait artists went out of business when Daguerreotypes came into vogue. Others became

Daguerreotypists, now known as photographers.

Photography took off and today includes You Tube fans, I–Reporters, and everybody

with a cell phone camera. Today photography captures life around the globe. The bizarre

prediction of Mr. de le Roche has come true, and then some.

But how was the prediction of mirror-image pictures made in the first place? Was de la

Weekly test:7 18.12.2010

Roche’s prediction of mirror-image photography just a lucky guess? Or was the Daguerreotype a

picture-perfect case of life imitating art?

Questions

8. According to the passage, which of the following statements is/are true?

I) Photographic images were shown in de la Roche’s book Giphantie.

II) Nicéphore Niépce experimented with printmaking.

III) Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre invented photography.

A) I only B) II only C) III only D) I and II only

E) II and III only

9. In line 1, bizarre most closely means

A) common B) humorous C) obvious D) popular E) strange

10. In the context of the passage, which of the following best articulates the author’s opinion?

A) It is hard to know how de le Roche predicted a photographic-type process a full century

before photography was invented.

B) It is hard to draw a comparison between early Daguerreotypists and modern-day photographers.

C) It was inaccurate to say that the Daguerreotype was a “mirror with a memory,” since the

images were not reversed.

D) It is difficult to understand why the French public preferred Daguerreotypes to painted

portraiture.

E) It was difficult for portrait artists to acquire the skills necessary to become

Daguerreotypists.

7. Principle: Whoever by deceiving any person dishonestly induces the person so deceived to deliver any property to that person commits ‘cheating’.

After paying the first installment, Ajeet goes to reside in another city without any intention of paying the remaining installments.

Page 15: Weekly test:7 - Ningapi.ning.com/.../test7.docx · Web viewName the new program of the Andhra Pradesh government which envisages "taking the administration to the doorstep of the

Weekly test:7 18.12.2010

Anirudh hurriedly buys the apartment for Rs 75 lakhs and on discovering the malfunction, spends Rs 7 lakh to rectify it. He then sues SRK claiming Rs 12 lakh as damages. While SRK agrees that he was at fault, he claims that he is liable to pay only Rs 5 lakh.

(a) SRK is liable to pay 12 lakh(b) SRK is liable to pay Rs 5 lakh(c) SRK is liable to pay Rs 7 lakh.(d) SRK is not liable to pay anything since it was a major malfunction and ANirudh would

However, Sanjay is under the impression that M-2 type of manure is to be supplied. The type of manure was clearly stamped on the bags.

(A)Salim need not pay but must return the bags.(B) Salim cannot avoid the agreement as it is not void.(C) The agreement is void as both Salim and Sanjay were mistaken(D)The agreement is voidable at the option of Salim.

Principle 3: An agreement made without consideration is void.

Facts: Shantanu is deeply attached to his nephew Arjun and he wants to gift him a Tata Indigo car worth rupees five lakh and fifty thousand. But Arjun refuses this gift saying that this against his self respect. Arjun owns about one hundred shares in a small company that has not been performing well for the past couple of years and as a result of this, the market value of these shares has stagnated at Rs 1000. Shantanu offers to buy these shares from Arjun in exchange for the car as via media between Arjun’s self respect and his urge to gift him the car. Later for some reason Shantanu and Arjun fall out and this transaction is brought to court.

(a) The transaction is void since the shares were of less value compared to the car’s price
