ENGLISH
NAME: CLASS VIII
SECTION A – READING
Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions
This summer in Chennai, locals were praying for some rain; in Mumbai, people were reeling under a deluge. Long ago, these extreme disparities may have been solely blamed on nature’s vagaries, but now science has established that human-induced climate change is playing a major role. Climate change, caused by emissions from industries and other human activity, is making the world warmer, disrupting rainfall patterns and increasing the frequency of extreme weather events. No country is immune to these forces, but India is particularly vulnerable.
In 2018-19, as many as 2,400 Indians lost their lives to extreme weather events such as floods and cyclones, according to the environment ministry. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) says these events are increasing in both frequency and intensity Extreme events may be the most tangible and immediate impact of climate change, but another more long-term and equally dangerous effect is rising temperatures.
In India, according to IMD data released by the statistics ministry, average temperatures have increased by 0.6 degrees Celsius (° C) between 1901-10 and 2009-18. At an annual level, this may seem trivial, but projections deeper into the future paint a more alarming picture. For instance, the World Bank estimates that, if climate change continues unhindered, then average temperatures in India could reach as high as 29.1° C by the end of the century (up from 25.1° C currently).
As climate change becomes more palpable, some parts of India will be more affected. Comparing the average temperature in 2009-18 to the that in 1950-80 reveals that some pockets have already become much hotter. In parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and the North-East, average temperature over the last decade has risen by nearly 1° C compared to the historical average in the 1950-80 period. Rising temperatures, especially combined with humidity, can even be fatal. In his new book, Air: Pollution, Climate Change and India’s Choice Between Policy and Pretence, Dean Spears suggests that a new born exposed to a week of hot and humid environment is much less likely to survive compared to one faced with a less hostile condition.
Answer the following with help from the passage:
a) What is the main cause of climate change?
b) What does The India Meteorological Department say about the change in environment?
c) How will change in climate affect different places?
d) Name the book by Dean Spears and what does it say?
e) Which word means the same as ‘ a period of ten years’
Q2. Read the following poem and answer the questions
The countryside must be preserved
Preferably miles away from me.
Neat hectares of the stuff reserved
For those in need of flower or tree.
I’ll make do with landscape painting
Film documentaries on TV
And when I need to escape, panting,
Then open-mouthed I’ll head for the sea.
Let others stroll and take their leisure,
In grasses wade up to their knees.
For I derive no earthly pleasure
From the green, green rash that makes me sneeze.
I. Answer the following with help from the poem above.
a) According to the poet for what should the countryside be preserved?
b) When does the poet feel the need for fresh air?
