SECTION-A: READING [20 Marks]

 

1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

[1] If our forests are in peril so are our grasslands with both man and animals contributing to the destruction. And the problem is by no means new. A survey done 30 years ago had classified 80 per cent of the country’s grasslands as “poor” but even today there is no policy on the management or protection of grasslands, no effort to break the vicious circle that is playing havoc on the diversity they support.

[2] As a recent issue of the magazine “Down to Earth” noted, the growing demand for cultivable land is eating into our grasslands. Common lands, which once provided grazing ground, are being used for other purposes and our growing livestock is destroying what remains. India is now the second biggest dairy producer in the world with one livestock animal for every two persons. In fact, 25 per cent of the total  gricultural produce comes from cattle rearing and dairy farming.

[3] So, as grasslands are getting degraded, more and more animals are needed to produce the same amount of milk that means an increasing demand for fodder. Moreover, goats have become popular because they also eat the roots.

[4] But this again means further degradation of grasslands. Weeds are replacing edible grass and soil erosion and water loss follow with far-reaching consequences for both man and animals.

[5] Perhaps the most affected are the 200 tribes, which amount to six per cent of the total population. Forced by the progressive decline in pasturelands many are giving up their traditional way of life of pastoral nomadism and joining the ranks of the urban and rural poor.

Several species of animals and birds which are linked to the bio diversity of grasslands including the wild buffalo, black buck, wild ass and chinkara are also under threat as also a host of insects and reptiles.

[6] Quite obviously, there is an urgent need for a long term holistic policy on the management and conservation of grasslands, one that will stress on improving the quality of livestock rather than quantity and will take traditional pastoral systems into account while developing strategies to meet the growing needs of the country.

 

A. On the basis of your understanding of the passage, complete the following statements: 1*5

[a] Grasslands are getting degraded not just because of __________________________.

[b] A recent issue of “Down to Earth” has ______________________.

2. R Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow:

There came a giant to my door,

A giant fierce and strong;

His step was heavy on the floor,

His arms were ten yards long.

He scowled and frowned, he shook the ground,

I remembered through and through;

At length I looked him in his face,

And cried, ‘Who cares for you’?

The mighty giant as I spoke,

Grew pale and thin and small;

And through his body, as ‘it were’ smoke,

I saw the sunshine fall.

Such giants came to strike us dumb,

But weak in every part;

They melt before the strong man’s eyes,

They fly the truth of heart.

 

A. Choose the most appropriate option to answer the following questions: 1* 6

[a]The poet has described his _______________, most prominently, in the poem.
