Reading Comprehension - Passage 1 (76-83)
Passage 1: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions (76-83).
We worry a lot about smog, water and noise pollution, but seldom think of light pollution : One of the fastest environmental alterations caused by humans.
Orbiting satellites show our planet swash in its own light, which drowns incident light from space. Light literally spills out of everything manmade-from industry-to public and residential buildings and roads. Astronomers first noticed it in the 1980s, when the telescope atop Mt. Wilson in San Diego was shut down due to this 'sky-glow' or 'light trespass' from the town. It was reducing their ability to observe the night sky. Because of artificial light, songbirds serenade a false dawn, and others migrate prematurely. The moon is a directional reference for birds. On moonless nights, confused migrating flocks have been known to fly into tall illuminated buildings - sometimes killing thousands of them. Nocturnal birds and mammals like bats, badgers, and otters are often discouraged from using their feeding grounds if they are artificially lit. and newly-hatched turtles that aim for the glow of the horizon above the sea find themselves blindly heading inland, instead, to their deaths. Many photosensitive plants, too, are affected by light pollution, mistiming their blooms, or failing to flower at all. Look around and see how many street lamps - some of them aglow even at midday – toss light energy skywards, instead of down onto the ground. If you are old enough to remember how the sky looked, say, 30 years ago, you'll probably remember seeing our own galaxy, The Milky Way. But not anymore. Of the dozen constellations of the zodiac, five are now invisible in most light-polluted skies, while the other seven have many of their stars missing'. If only we realized that better lighting leads to lesser energy needs-ergo, less pollution from unnecessary power stations. Bit by bit, we are losing a direct connection with the universe. For the light from stars takes millions of years to reach us- only to be lost when it touches Earth. To combat light pollution, individuals and communities can install shielded fixtures, use motion sensors, and opt for warm-coloured bulbs to minimize glare and light trespass.
76. Identify the part of speech of the word "seldom" in the sentence: "We worry a lot about smog, water and noise pollution, but seldom think of light pollution."

Reading Comprehension - Passage 2 (84-90)
Passage 2: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions (84-90):
The musical accomplishments of composer Ludwig van Beethoven have been all the more remarkable for the fact that he lost his hearing ability from an early age.
He developed the symptoms of tinnitus, a constant sound of ringing in his ears that made it difficult for him to hear. He is compared to Mozart for his genius, and is considered the most eminent musician after Mozart. Although his formal education never went beyond the elementary level, he trained in music under Joseph Haydn. He has always been acclaimed as a brilliant piano maestro. His father and grandfather were the court musicians of a German prince. Young Ludwig was often made to perform for his father's drinking companions in the middle of the night, and was even beaten if he protested. For the first thirty years of his life, Beethoven could listen to and play effortlessly. As a result, he understood sounds of musical instruments and the pitch of the singing voices. He knew the harmony between music and singing before he became completely deaf. His deafness was not sudden, but a gradual decline. This slow process of losing his hearing activated his mind to imagine how his compositions would sound like. When he became completely deaf, he started to observe the vibrations of the piano. The observations helped him realise that he could not hear the high notes of the piano. To be able to hear his own compositions, he sawed off the legs of his piano. The piano touched the floor, and Beethoven would press his ear to the floor, banging the piano keys to listen to the high notes in his composition. The most significant aspect of Beethoven's character was that he did not give up. With a brave heart, he confronted the greatest challenge a musician can face, and continued living his dream of composing music. Deafness could not deter him from achieving the pinnacle of musical success. He fought against the greatest obstacle and won. His quality of 'never giving up' strengthened him. It made him come to terms with his deafness in a dynamic and constructive way. These qualities led him to become a famous composer.
84. Why did Beethoven saw off the legs of his piano?
(A) To move it easily
(B) To improve sound quality
(C) To feel vibrations through the floor
(D) To repair the instrument
Correct Answer: (C)
85. Choose the correct synonym of "eminent" as used in the passage:

(A) Beginning of success
(B) Sudden fame
(C) Highest level of achievement
(D) Temporary recognition
