526 . Read the following passage and answer questions An alloy is a substance that is formed by combining a metal with other metals, or nonmetals. For example, brass is an alloy of the metals copper and zinc, and steel is alloy of the metal iron with the nonmetal carbon. The special characteristics of metals, such as hardness, strength, flexibility, and weight are called its properties. By the process of alloying it is possible to create materials with the exact combinations of properties for particular use. In the aircraft industry, there is a need for metals that are both strong and light. Steel is strong but too heavy, whereas aluminum is light but not strong. By mixing aluminum with copper and other metals, an alloy is created that is strong to withstand the stresses of flight, but light enough to reduce the cost of fuel to lift the aircraft. There is an important difference between the alloys created by us and the combination of metals that occur accidentally as impure metals.. Both are mixtures, but alloys are mixtures that have been deliberately combined in specific proportions for definite purpose. The passage says that alloys are--
  • A. industrial by products
  • B. industrially unimportant
  • C. made by us
  • D. only used in aircraft industry

527 . Read the following passage and answer the Increasing every year questions: Forests are an important part of civilization. They not only form a considerable portion of the national wealth of a country, but also play an important role in maintaining the environmental balance. Indiscriminate felling of trees to enhance city areas is a threat to our civilization. We often forget that a peaceful and well-balanced co- existence of man-made civilization and nature is absolutely important for human existence on the earth. Indiscriminate felling of trees makes our planet less green and threatens the wildlife. Forests and trees have an enormous impact on the climate as they are instrumental in drawing rain to the earth. Deforestation has resulted in radical changes in our climate. The overall temperature of the planet is increasing at an alarming rate. The duration of seasons is fluctuating all over the world. The rate of rainfall is becoming erratic. The future of this planet is in trouble unless immediate attention is paid to this danger. A suitable title of the passage is :
  • A. Temperature changes
  • B. Deforestation
  • C. Human existence on the earth
  • D. Melting of Polar ice-caps

By culture, (L3) one means first of all what the anthropologists mean, the way of life of a particular people (L4) living together in one place. That culture is made visible in their arts, in their social system, in (L5) their habits and customs, in their religion. It is and aggregate of customsinstitutions, manners, (L6) standards, testes, morals and beliefs. Now, these are transmitted rather by the family than by (L7) the school , hence when family life fails to play is  part, we must expect our culture to (L8) deteriorate (L9)  It is a delusion to think that the maladies of the modern world can be put right by a system of (L10) instruction. on the contrary, universal education, by lowering standards, morals and tastes to (L11) a common denominator and by sharpening the wits rather than disciplining character, tends to (L12) break down existing cheeks and balances. Education should be the drawing forth of potential (L13) values, it should not be the destruction of the safeguards that tradition place around young (L14) egos naturally inclined to wilful and precarious flights. (L15)    1.The writer uses the term ‘culture’ to refer to-

536 . Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow: While many theories have been proposed about the function of dreams, no consensus has emerged. Considering the time we spend in a dreaming state, the fact that researches do not yet understand the purpose of dreams may seem baffling. However, it is important to consider that science is still unravelling the exact purpose and function of sleep itself. Some researchers suggest that dreams serve no real purpose, while others believe that dreaming is essential to mental, emotional and physical well-being. Some researchers suggest that dreams are a subjective interpretation of signals generated by the brain during sleep. Dreamers are not meaningless. Instead, during dreams the cognitive elements in our brain produce new ideas. One theory suggests that dreams are the result of our brains trying to interpret external stimuli during sleep. For example, the sound of the radio may be incorporated into the content of a dream.    The passage mentions a theory of dream that suggests that when we sleep, we receive stimuli from
  • A. our memory
  • B. our desire
  • C. sources inside our body
  • D. sources that lie outside of the body.
