(ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS)
Read carefully the passage given below and based on your understanding, answer the
questions given underneath.
Cultural pluralism is not a modern phenomenon. History provides many examples

of different communities and cultures living side by side within the same society, co-
existing peacefully, and sometimes, even amicably. The ancient empires of Persia, Egypt
and Rome were culturally diverse. In India, similarly, people of diverse religions and
languages have lived together for several centuries. In some pre-modern societies,
differences of religion were even legally recognized and accommodated. The Ottoman
Empire, while affirming Islam as its own religion, gave formal recognition to Orthodox
Greeks, Jews and Orthodox Armenians. In fact, under the Millet system, each of these three
communities had certain legal rights to govern their own communities (Walzer 1997 : 17)
The co-presence of different communities within the same polity is, therefore, not a
new occurrence. Cultural plurality has been a hallmark of many societies for a very long
time. However, the existence of plurality at the societal level does not imply that
multiculturalism as a value prevailed in these societies. The simultaneous presence of
many cultures and communities within the same social space points to a plural social
fabric, but it does not be token the presence of multiculturalism. The latter entails
something more than the mere presence of different communities or the attitude of
tolerance in society. Multiculturalism is concerned with the issue of equality: it asks
whether the different communities, living peacefully together, co-exist as equals in the
public arena.
It is this emphasis on equality that distinguishes multiculturalism from pluralism.

Within the framework of plurality, the major concern is peaceful co-existence and amity. So
long as communities have some degree of freedom to live by their own religious and
cultural practices, their position vis--vis other groups and communities in the public arena
is non-issue. Pluralism, in other words, indicates the presence of differences and marks a
departure from policies aimed at annihilating the other, but that is all. It remains silent
about the public status of these communities. Indeed, in most pre-modern societies,
pluralism prevailed against the backdrop of a widely accepted hierarchy of cultures and
communities.

The Millet system, which is regarded by many scholars as a prime example of
tolerance, provided a fairly elaborate system of legal pluralism. It conceived the three
acknowledged religious minority groups as semi-autonomous entities with rights to
manage and govern the life of their members. So long as they paid their taxes and lived
peacefully, it did not interfere in the affairs of these communities. In fact, it communicated
with them primarily through their leaders. Thus, it was the communal heads of the Millets
who were summoned to receive news on behalf of their constituencies while the rest of
the population were communicated by public criers (Lerner 1958 : 114). Yet, even within
this system, the recognized religious communities enjoyed a relative degree of autonomy
only vis--vis their own members. They were subject to the same restrictions with regard to
such issues as dress, proselytizing, intermarriage, etc., vis--vis the Muslims, who
constituted the ruling community (Walzer, 1997 : 17-18). In this respect, the Ottoman
Empire was not an exception. Here, like in many other plural societies, multiple
communities coexisted but within an acknowledged framework of hierarchy with the
rulers religion and culture occupying the highest position (see Gupta 1996 : 192-211)
Pluralism and tolerance are often most visible when the dominance of one
community is unambiguously acceded. In medieval India, for instance, plural and syncretic
existence was much in evidence when the subject population or its patron avowed their
loyalty to the ruler. Thus we find Akbar allowing high ranking Rajput officers in his
service to build their own monumental temples in the provinces to which they are posted,
as in the case of the Govind Deva Temple in Brindavan, patronized by Raja Man Singh
(Eaton, 2001 : 71). By the same logic, when the implicit structure of dominance is
challenged openly or even indirectly, tolerance swiftly vanishes. What we witness at such
moments are acts of repression or unequivocal assertion of supremacy through such
actions as desecration of the places of religious worship (see Eaton, 2000 and 2001). A
plural social fabric or stories of collective participation in festivals and processions are,
therefore, no indication of the absence of hierarchy and inequality. In fact, it often exists
when the authority of the dominant community and the symbols of its power are readily
accepted by others.

70. Make a precis of the following passage
Injections alarm some patients; they can also alarm doctors and nurses. In America
several thousand healthcare workers contract hepatitis every year by pricking themselves
with needles carrying contaminated blood. They run a risk of contracting many other
diseases too. Safer injections that cause less pain to patients are now available, but at a high
price.
The Biojector made by Bioject of Portland, Oregon is a hand held device about 20
km long. A plastic container that looks like a syringe without a needle fits on to one end.
The plunger on the syringe is pressed not by a finger, but by a blast of carbon-dioxide
which works much quicker. The drug gets blurted out of the fine blunt nozzle, at the end of
the syringe at 800 km per hour; at that speed it hardly notices when it hits the patients skin
and passes through. As the resulting hole is a third of the area of the syringe needle, and
the whole process takes but a fraction of a second, the patient hardly notices either. Slip on
a new sterile syringe and you are ready for the next patient with almost no risk of infection.

Such jet-propelled injections have been around for decades often used in
immunization programmes. However, they were administered by cumbersome costly
machines, with large tanks full of compressed carbon-dioxide, big, unwieldy hand guns.
The nozzles were made of rubics which were too expensive to change for each new
immunization. Fine control over the depth to which the drug was injected was not possible.
Some drug must be delivered deep into the muscle, others just under the skin
Miniaturizing the machine took Bioject seven years and $10 m. the company had to
find a way of ensuring that the pressure applied to deliver the medicine remains constant
for each injection even though the volume of carbon-dioxide within the canister is always
changing. It also had to make sure that the syringe can deliver variable amounts of the
liquid and that the materials used to make the device do not buckle under the high
pressure applied to them. The company developed a range of five different syringes, each
tailored to suit a particular need. Children, for example, have less fat under their skins, and
so the force with which the medicine is delivered, should not be so great as for older, fatter
adults.
Some snags remain. Although each Biojector can deliver up to 50,000 shots, they are
costly, almost $1,000 a piece, and 90 cents for each syringe. A disposable syringe with a
needle typically costs 20 cents. Still some American hospitals and private doctors have
started using the Biojector. If the company can get the price down, more may follow; in
time injections may be no more traumatic than swallowing pills.
71. Make a precis of the passage given below:
A hardly microbe that can withstand huge doses of radiation could have evolved
this ability on Mars.
That is the conclusion of Russian scientists who say it would take far longer than life
has existed here for the bug to evolve that ability in Earths clement conditions. They
suggest the harsher environment of Mars makes it a more likely birthplace.
They hardy bugs could have travelled to Earth on pieces of rock that were blasted
into space by an impacting asteroid and fell to Earth as meteorites.
Deinococcus radiocurans is renowned for its resistance to radiation it can survive

several thousand times the lethal dose for humans. To investigate how the trait might have
evolved, Anatoli Pavlov and his colleagues from the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St
Peters burg tried to induce it in E-coli. They blasted the bugs with enough gamma rays to
kill 99.9 percent of them, let the survivors recover, and then repeated the process.
During the first cycle just a hundredth of the lethal human dose was enough to wipe
out 99.9 percent of the bacteria, but after 44 cycles is took 50 times that initial level to kill
the same proportion.
However, the researchers calculate that it would take thousands of such cycles
before thee-coli were as hardy as Deinococcus. And on Earth it would take between a

million and a hundred million years to accumulate each dose, during which time the bugs
would have to be dormant.
Since life originated on Earth 3.8 billion years ago, Pavlov does not believe that there
has been enough time for this resistance to evolve.
On Mars, the bugs could receive the necessary dose in just a few hundred thousand
years, since radiation levels are much higher.

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: 7 x 3 = 21
Zoopharmacognosy is the study of how animals use plants, insects and other inorganic materials
in self-medication. Approximately 500 species of cone snails inhabit shallow tropical seas. They
defend themselves and paralyze their prey-worms, fish and other molluscs by injecting a
cocktail of toxins through a hollow, harpoon-like tooth. Each species has its own distinct set of
around 100 'conotoxins', which it mixes in constantly changing proportions, thereby preventing
evolution of resistance in their prey. Just as we are appreciating the remarkable potential of cone
snails as a source of new medicines, they are coming under intense pressure in the wild. Their
shallow tropical habitats are rapidly being destroyed and snails are being collected at alarming
rates from the wild to supply the ornamental shell trade as well as for biomedical research.

Make a prcis of the following passage:

56. GLOBAL WARMING : EVIDENCE AND IMPACT
The earth's climate is driven by solar radiation. In the long term, the energy
absorbed from the sun must be balanced by outgoing longwave thermal radiation from the
earth and the atmosphere. Part of this outgoing energy is absorbed and re-emitted by
radioactive atmospheric gases ("greenhouse gases"), thereby reducing net emission of
energy to space. To maintain the global energy balances, both the atmosphere and the
surface will warm until the outgoing energy equals the incoming energy. This is the
greenhouse effect.
The main natural greenhouse gases are water vapour (the largest contributor to the
greenhouse effect), carbondioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. There are also purely
man-made greenhouse gases, including many ODS such as CFCs, which are controlled
under the Montreal Protocol. The main greenhouse gases differ in the intensity of their heat
trapping (or "radiative forcing") and thus in their ability to affect the radiative balance of
the earth. GFCs and nitrous oxide are many times more potent than the same quantity of
carbon dioxide or methane.
The largest sources of methane in the atmosphere are natural wetlands, rice paddies and
livestock. Natural gas production (drilling, venting and transmission), biomass burning,
termites, landfills and coal mining also release methane. Nitrous oxide is released by the
oceans and soil, but human activities such as biomass burning and the use of fertilisers play
a role that is not yet fully understood or quantified.
For decades, scientists have studied the climatic effects of greenhouse gases. In 1827
Fourier conceived the theory of the greenhouse effect. Arrhenius in 1896 analysed possible
climate change caused by industrial emissions of radiatively active gases.
The impact of the global warming process will be felt by several sectors-agriculture,
fisheries, forestry, etc. - which would ultimately affect the economies of countries. For
example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts a shift in the
current agricultural production pattern away from the current production areas to northern
latitudes. Changes in groundwater availability, increased occurrence of climate extremes
and crop diseases are also predicted. A rise in sea levels as a result of melting of ice from
the poles will threaten low-lying coastal areas, especially those which are densely
populated.
Health experts expect a rise in climate-related diseases such as heat strokes and a
spread of vector-borne diseases such as malaria into areas so far unaffected. Others have
warned about the consequences of increased water shortages.
Geoscientists agree that the Arctic has been and will continue to be significantly
affected by global warming. Much of the land surface in the Arctic is underlain by
permanently frozen ground called 'permafrost'. The uppermost 'active layer' experiences
seasonal thawing. Recent studies indicate that climatic warming may result in a 12 to 15 per
cent reduction in the area covered by permafrost and a 15 to 30 per cent increases in the
thickness of the active layer. As temperature rises permafrost melts, releasing stored
carbon, but just as importantly, methane. Increased warming results in more permafrost
melting pushing the earth system ever forward into a future enhanced greenhouse
environment.

Carbon dioxide makes up a greater proportion, of the atmosphere by volume, but
methane absorbs energy much more efficiently. Increased warming at high latitudes may
cause an increase in the release of methane from bogs or peatlands. Methane release from
organic decomposition in wetlands coupled with carbon dioxide from melting permafrost
will drive greenhouse gas levels higher, creating warmer temperatures.
Changes to the reflectivity of the surface (called the albedo) affects the amount of
solar radiation absorbed by the earth. As Arctic sea ice melts it exposes open water which is
less reflective (albedo decreases). The reduction in albedo allows more light to be absorbed
by the ocean. As the ocean water warms, more heat is added to the air driving Arctic
temperatures ever higher. The reduction in sea ice is having a significant impact on arctic
ecosystems.
57.
Rapid climate changes such as the ice age and catastrophic events like meteorite
impacts and volcanoes cause the extinction of many species. Nevertheless, mass extinction
which can be the bane of one species can become an opportunity for another. All mass
extinctions have been followed by periods of recovery, known as adaptive radiations. After
almost every mass extinction, numerous new species have evolved to fill new or vacated
ecological niches in the changed environment. The extinction of dinosaurs, for example,
was followed by an explosive rise of mammals. Fossil records suggest about 10 million
years or more are required for adaptive radiations to rebuild biological diversity after a
mass extinction.
Today, however, species are going extinct at an accelerated and dangerous rate,
because of non-natural environmental changes caused by human activities.
This increased rate does not allow for ecosystems to recover or other species to
occupy vacant slots. Species that have a very limited habitat or small population size are
particularly vulnerable to extinction.
Some of the activities have direct effects on species and ecosystems, such as habitat
loss/degradation, over exploitation (such as over fishing), and spread of non-native
species/diseases. Some human activities have indirect but wide-reaching effects on
biodiversity, including climate change, and pollution.
All of these threats have put a serious strain on the diversity of species on Earth.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), globally about
one third of all known species are threatened with extinction. That includes 29% of all
amphibians, 21% of all mammals and 12% of all birds. If we do not stop the threats to
biodiversity, we could be facing another mass extinction with dire consequences to the
environment and human health and livelihood.

A large percentage of life style diseases are preventable through the reduction of
their four main behavioural risk factors : tobacco use, physical inactivity, harmful use of
alcohol and unhealthy diet.
Working out tobacco restrictions :
Globally about 6 million people die from tobacco use each year, both from direct
tobacco use and second-hand smoke.
Many Countries, including India, have enacted strict legislations to discourage

people from smoking. Cost-effective interventions include protecting people from tobacco
smoke and banning smoking in public places; warning about the dangers of tobacco use;
enforcing bans on tobacco advertising, promotion an sponsorship; and raising taxes on
tobacco. The benefits of these actions have begun to show. The use of tobacco is showing
signs of warning in many countries.
Encouraging regular physical activity :

Approximately 3.2 million people die each year due to physical inactivity. People
who are insufficiently physically active have a 20% to 30% increased risk of all cause
mortality.
Regular physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease including high
blood pressure, diabetes, breast and colon cancer and depression.
Insufficient physical activity is a bane in high-income countries, but is increasingly
becoming a challenge in some low and middle-income countries. Promoting public
awareness about the benefits of physical activity makes a good case for health policy-
makers, who must also pay attention to creating sufficient facilities for physical activities,
rather than falling prey to land mafia. Formulating national physical activity guidelines;
implementing school-based physical activity programmes for children; and creating
workplace and community programmes for physical activity for adults make sound
investments.
Limiting intake of alcohol:
Approximately 2.3 million die each year from the harmful use of alcohol, accounting
for about 3.8% of all deaths in the world. More than half of these deaths occur from NCDs
including cancers, cardiovascular disease and liver cirrhosis.
While adult per capita consumption is highest in high-income countries, it is nearly

as high in the populous upper-middle-income countries. Lower-middle-income countries
like India are also falling into this trap. Concrete steps such as restricting access to retailed
alcohol; enforcing bans on alcohol advertising; and raising taxes on alcohol must be
initiated to curb alcohol abuse.
Promoting healthy food habits :
Adequate consumption of fruit and vegetables reduces the risk for high blood
pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and stomach and colorectal cancer. On the other
side, high salt, saturated fats and trans-fatty acids consumption is ill-advised.

Most populations, however, consume high levels of salt. This is an important
determinant in the development of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. High
consumption of saturated fats and trans-fatty acids is also closely linked to heart disease.
Unhealthy diet, including lower-middle-income countries since the 1980s.
Community and individual interventions need to be stepped up by fostering healthy

nutrition environments in schools; nutrition information and counselling in health care;
promoting public awareness about healthy diet patterns; and taking active measures to
reduce salt content of processed and packaged foods; and replacing trans-fat in food with
polyunsaturated fat.
