Environment implies a healthy natural balance in the air, water, animals,
plants, and other natural resources. It contributes to the existence and
development of organisms but does the opposite if pollution occurs.

harmful substances into it. Industrialization and other anthropogenic
activities constantly pollute the environment and harm nature, posing
serious threat to the existence of mankind.
The increase of world population implies growth of industries, and
industrial units release toxic gases and filthy poisonous effluents.
Besides, trees are cut down for fuel, various commercial purposes, and
building houses, reducing the supply of oxygen. Consequently, the
shelter of birds and other animals is destroyed and ultimatley the
ecological balance is upset. Therefore, environment saving scientific
methods should be adopted in development activities and environment
protecting rules and regulations need to be enacted towards reducing
emissions of toxic gases and poisonous effluents.

Passage -04
Read the following passage and answer the questions (01-04)
What are the difficulties in learning a second language? Clearly one of the
main difficulties is that usually the learner does not live in an environment where
the second language is commonly spoken. The language may be used in special
language classes or even as a medium of instruction in school, but generally only a
small proportion of the learner's time is spent in using it.

Another difficulty is that of 'interference' between the learner's mother tongue and
the second language. Interference is perhaps most noticeable in pronunciation, but
it also affects the learner's understanding of grammar and ability to write well in
the second language. Learning another language, therefore, is clearly not easy.
It requires interest, persistence, and the determination to correct mistakes.

Playing video games is undoubtedly a more popularleisure activity than
reading literature. It's easier, and it may well give most people a more
immediate sense of pleasurable relaxation. Reading literature, rather
than just spending the evening in front of the TV, requires a conscious

human contentment.
ReaIf we don't read we become trapped in our own individual minds,
never allowing somebody else's thoughts to alter our mental climate in
subtle ways by thinking themselves inside us. Without reading, we can
end up living in a mental weather system which is always the same, so that
rain and sunshine become the same thing, and a sameness which isn't
really total living begins to take hold of us. Of course, we can be moved
and challenged by films and televisions, and other electronic images too,
but the City of Words has a unique intimacy and power, and that is where
we live when we study English, and then take it into the rest of our lives.

Passage -08
Read this passage carefully in order to choose the most suitable
answers to the queries followed by it. The questions are of equal
value. Rajshahi is usually associated by the average Bangladeshi with
silk, mangoes and the river Padma upon whose banks the city stands.
All three are indeed magnificent symbols of our region and we are
proud of all of them. but (as must be well-known by now) when we
Rajshahites wish to call ourselves by a pretentious title we do so by
reference to something entirely different. We are not Silk City, not
Mangoland; by no means the gift of the Padma.
We are, First and foremost, Education City. Whether well deserved or not, this title
is intended to bring to everyone's notice that the most important things in Rajshahi
are its educational institutions, at least two of which, as Dr Johnson said of
Shakespeare, have "long outgrown' their centuries. To speak of academic studies in
Rajshahi on any subject is to speak of them and I will therefore begin this essay on
the current status and future prospects of English studies at the University of
Rajshahi with a historical introduction to these institutions that are so much older
than the University itself. English studies in Rajshahi began in colonial times with
the founding of collegiate School in 1828 and subsequently of RajshahiCollege in
1873...
1. 'We are, first and foremost, Education city’. This is an example of-

the passage carefully to answer the questions below it:
If I were to call Professor Enamul Haque the "gentle giant"of the English
Department, my colleagues would probably agree. It was not that he was very
tall or bulky, it was just that he gave off the impression of height and largeness.
Gentle he most certainly, was being widely known for his mild-mannered and
soft-spoken ways. It was very rarely that he lost his temper in public but even if
he did it was rarely that he raised his voice. I'm sure that most of his colleagues
will remember him by his smile and the jokes with which he would regale us,
often to lighten the atmosphere after a difficult teachers' meeting. He had quite
a large collection of jokes of various kind stashed away in his memory some of
them in Hindi which he had picked up during his graduate study in Delhi but he
was not prodigal with his collection.
He would extract one or two from his joke bank when the need arose and apply them
admirably and appropriately to whatever was being talked about at the moment. Some
years ago, after he started teaching Hamlet, he was equally versatile in his use of
appropriate quotations from that play, and these too were always applied jocularly
and wittily to the talk or circumstance of the moment. He had very apparently a
pronounced sense of humor but was, in general, a reticent and a reserved person who
had many acquaintances but few really close friends. It was his reticence; his reluctance
to speak too much of personal matters, that made his sudden illness and death within
a few days. of a cerebral stroke such a surprise to all of his colleagues in the
Department. He had never confided to any of us that he had health problems or indeed
any serious problems at all. His untimely and unexpected death was thus all the moreof
a shock to his colleagues and to his students.
01. 'He had many acquaintances but few really close friends.' is a:

D. contracted sentence
02. Professor Haque is referred to as a 'giant', because:

A. he seemed to be very tall and large

B. he lived like a giant

C. he was very tall and bulky

03. confidant' means:
A. a person who is confident
B. feeling sure
C. a person that you trust and who you
talk to about private or secret things
D. confidence
04. What is not the characteristic trait of Professor Haque?

A. wit

B. sense of humor

C. reticence

D. indifference
 05. 'He was too reticent and reserved to speak too much of personal matters.’

Its complex form is:

A. Being reticent and reserved he did not speak too much of personal matters.

B. He was reticent and reserved, so he did not speak too much of personal matters.

usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in
buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it.

life. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have

his early adult life.

evolved nation has undergone a series of degenerative
processes through several generations of discuses that have

value. Telegrams, even urgent ones, take long in transmission,and
as I had to do a journey of a thousand miles by rail and road, and the
last twenty miles on foot, a week elapsed between the sending of
the telegram and my arrival at the village; and in the mean time the
tiger made another kill. The victim on this occasion was a woman
who, with her husband and children, had lived for years in the
compound of the house adjoining our home in Naini Tal.
This woman, in company with several others, was cutting grass on the hill above the
village when she was attacked by the tiger, killed and carried off in full view of her
companions. The screams of the frightened women were heard in the village, and,
while the women were running back to Naini Tal to report the tragedy, the men of the
village assembled and with great gallantry drove away the tiger. Knowing--with an
Indian's trust that I would respond to the telegram they had sent me, they wrapped
the body in a blanket and tied it to the topmost branch of a thirty-foot rhododendron
tree. From the tiger's subsequent actions it was evident that he had been lying up
close by and had watched these proceedings, for if he had not seen the body being
put up in a tree he would never have found it, as tigers have no sense of smell.

Passage -20
Question I though 4 are based on the following passage:

It is possible that disease processes are evolving in the

same or a similar way to the social and spiritual evolution
of human rights. We can say for example that generally
one nationality is more polite than another.
What we may actually be implying unwittingly is that this evolved
nation has undergone a series of degenerative processes through
several generations of discuses that have transformed the primitive
instincts into more acceptable forms of social behavior, but not
necessarily into more health. Evaluation may be going hand in hand
with degeneration tempering or restraining some basic instincts of life
that give pleasure orhappiness on the physical level.
