English Class 12 Question Paper

SECTION A
(Reading) 
1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
 
1 In Ladakh, 30 years ago, it was difficult to cross the stream near Hemis monastery, on the way to a small dharma school. It could be done only early morning or in the afternoon and that too, only on horseback. Now you could just walk across the stream. ‘‘It is shocking to see how the
stream has shrunk,’’ said Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche, anguished at the alarming ecological changes in the Himalayan region. Besides, China is reportedly planning to divert the Brahmaputra waters to irrigate the parched Xingjiang region, preventing it from flowing into India, he added. ‘‘Let us make the Himalayan region — from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, and the Hindu Kush area — green.’’
 
2 ‘‘Going green is a mindset, a philosophy. It means, first, to be mindful of what you do and its impact on other living beings and our global ecosystem,’’ said Rajesh Patel. ‘‘Green lives matter, but that alone will not reverse climate change. It has to become a movement to make any impact.’’
 
3 Go Green, Go Organic and Goldenmile Learning came together in 2015 and harnessed water from melting glaciers, and planted 25,000 trees at 15,000 ft altitude in the Ladakh region. Now they plan to improve their efforts and develop a 250-acre land donated by Phobrang and its nearby
villages of Lukung and Yurgo as a model to promote sustainable living to manage climate change and bring economic prosperity to the Himalayan economy.
 
4 The 250 acres of land will be developed within five years to include facilities for the community to interact with each other, learn new skills, showcase and sell their arts and crafts and other produce. An international standard ice rink for ice hockey, too, has been planned.
 
5 Employing best indigenous practices and proven technologies from the world over, conservation agro-forestry, herbal and vegetable cultivation, green energy from the sun and wind, and traditional and modern water management by way of building artificial lakes to trap the glacial melt,
kuls and zings, all have been planned to build a thriving and sustainable environment, economic and social ecosystem for the three villages.
 
‘‘Green Himalayas is an all-in-one project which is taking environment into consideration and it includes all kinds of living things. We want environmentalists, economists and agriculturists, everyone to join this mission,’’ said Namgyal.
 
6 Meenakshi Singh, the Chief Operating Officer, Green Himalayas, said that they had done a survey of what villagers wanted and have designed the place accordingly. ‘‘We are not planning to make nomads into agrarians. The trees we are planting are only to hold the water and they are of the indigenous variety. Greening can happen in many ways, through sustainability and spirituality.’’ When completed, the project will be transferred to the local community and then they will leave.
 
7 For an auspicious start to the Green Himalayas project, a group of Buddhist nuns and little monks from the Drikung Kagyu Institute (DKI), Dehradun, prayed to the Triple Gems — the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and invoked Goddess Manjushree, the wisdom deity. ‘‘We believe that the Buddha is like a doctor, Dharma is like medicine, and Sangha is like nursing care, and in order to heal any kind of illness, these three things are very important. For any activity, wisdom is very important, so we invoke Manjushree to remove darkness of ignorance,’’ said Khenpo Konchok Rangdol, general secretary, DKI.
On the basis of your reading of the above passage, answer the following questions briefly :
 
(a) How has the stream near Hemis monastery changed over the years ?
 
(b) Why does Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche feel very unhappy ?
 
(c) In what ways have the combined efforts of Go Green, Go Organic and Goldenmile Learning benefitted Ladakh ?
 
(d) What type of trees is ‘Green Himalayas’ planting in the area ? 
 
(e) What does the term, ‘Triple Gems’ refer to ? 
 
(f) Name any two facilities planned for the development of Ladakh. 
 
(g) Choose the correct option : 
 
China is planning to divert the Brahmaputra to
 
(i) build a dam to produce power.
 
(ii) irrigate the thirsty Xingjiang.
 
(iii) deprive India of the water from the Brahmaputra.
 
(iv) prevent flooding in China.
 
(h) Manjushree is the Goddess of : 
 
(i) wealth.
 
(ii) learning.
 
(iii) wisdom.
 
(iv) beauty.
