Paper I GENERAL ENGLISH
Maximum : 30 MARKS
Answer ALL questions.

1)

a) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Antarctica is situated at the southern end of the world. Most of the inhabitants of the
earth do not know that it is a continent in itself. It is surrounded by a broad zone of
drifting pack ice and icebergs. So it was inaccessible to explorers until the advent of
modern ice breakers and long range planes with a combination of ordinary ice fields
and whose skies allow them to land on compact snow.
i) Where is Antarctica situated?
ii) When did its exploration become possible?
iii) Who do not know Antarctica itself is a continent?
iv) What is Antarctica surrounded by?
v) Write the antonym of modern.
b) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by
choosing the right answer:
There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible
as a school. To begin with, it is a prison. But it is in some respects more cruel than a
prison. In a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the
warders (who of course would not be warders if they could write readable books), and
beaten or otherwise formented if you cannot remember their utterly unmemorable
contents. In the prison you are not forced to sit listening to the turn keys discoursing
without charm or interest on subjects that they dont understand and dont care about,
and are therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. In a prison they
may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains; and they protect you
against violence and outrage from your fellow- prisoners. In a school you have none
of these advantages.
