SECTION-A (READING) 20 MARKS
Q1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions: (1X8=8)
The story of Joanne Kathleen Rowling’s ‘near magical rise to fame’ is almost as well known as
the characters she creates.
Rowling was constantly writing and telling stories to her younger sister Dianne. “The first story I
ever wrote was about a rabbit called Rabbit.” Rowling said in an interview. “He got the measles
and was visited by his friends including a giant bee called Miss Bee. And ever since Rabbit and
Miss Bee, I have always wanted to be a writer, though I rarely told anyone so.
However, my parents, both of whom come from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom
had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk
that would never pay a mortgage or secure a pension.
A writer from the age of six, with two unpublished novels in the * drawer, she was stuck on a train
when Harry walked into her mind fully formed. She spent the next five years constructing the plots
of seven books, one for every year of his secondary school life.
Rowling says she started writing the first book, Harry’ Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, in Portugal,
where she was teaching English.
At first nobody wanted to publish Harry Potter. She was told that the plot was too complex.
Refusing to compromise, she found a publisher.
In 1997 Rowling received her first royalty cheque. By book three, she had skyrocketed to the top
of the publishing world. A row of zeros appeared on the author’s bank balance and her life was
turned upside down. Day and night she had journalists knocking on the unanswered door of her
flat.
Rowling’s quality control has become legendary, as is her obsession with accuracy. She’s thrilled
with Stephen Fry’s taped version of the books and outraged that an Italian dust jacket showed
Harry minus his glasses. “Don’t they understand that the glasses are the clue to his vulnerability?”
Annual earnings of J.K. Rowling from 2010 to 2019
On the basis of your understanding of the passage answer the e questions given below.
(a) Explain J.K. Rowling’s ‘near magical rise to fame’.
(b) What reason did the publishers give for rejecting Rowling’s book?
(c) What was the drawback of achieving fame?
(d) Why was Rowling outraged with the Italian dust jacket?
(e) Find a word in the last para that means the same as ‘insecure/helpless.
(f) According to the graph, how many years did it take Rowling to become very successful?
(g)What were her parents' views about her writing novels?
(h)When did the famous character ‘Harry’ crop up in Rowling’s mind?
Q2. Read the passage given carefully and answer the questions that follow. (12)
(1) Human life changes constantly over time. Mobile phones were previously seen only among
few high-class
people and were considered as something lavish. Then slowly, even the average or the common
men on the street, like a cobbler or vegetable vendor, could be seen having a cell-phone. In the
world today, even young kids and school going children are found busily chatting away on their
mobile phones. Now kids as young as seven and eight too have started owning a mobile phone.
Welcome to the new age world!
(2) Studies recommend that mobile phones should only be given to children above sixteen years
of age. Children below the age of sixteen should not be given mobile phones since their brain is
too sensitive to withstand the effects of mobile radiation. Since the tissues in the brain and body
are still developing, these radiations can cause cell damage. Due to the absorption of radiation,
children can have severe health issues. Although, adults also get affected by these radiation. It will
be more severe in children because of increased absorption of these radiation levels. Experts also
believe there is a link between childhood cancer and mobile phone usage among children.
(3) Having a cell phone will tempt your teen to spend all day talking or texting instead of doing
productive things. Studies have proven that teens who spend too much of their time with their cell
phones are more prone to stress, anxiety, and depression. Research has also found that excessive
use of smartphones may result in an increased risk of mental health problems. Most teens keep
their cell phones nearby while sleeping to respond to texts and calls and remain reachable around
the clock. This may lead to sleep disturbances and interruptions.
Studies have found that teenagers who use cellphones after the lights out experienced increased
tiredness. Also, college students who use cell phones after the onset of sleep are reported to be
awake an extra 46 minutes per week Moreover, the blue light emitted by the phone screens is
believed to lower the levels of melatonin, thus interrupting the sleep cycle.
(4) Pew Research Centre survey involving teens aged 13 and 17 revealed that 44% of teenagers
check their phones as soon as they are awake, and about 56% of the teens link the absence of their
mobile phone with loneliness, being upset, or feeling anxious. Additionally, girls were found to be
more likely to feel lonely or anxious without their cell phones.
(5) A survey was conducted to get the views of the parents and teachers as to whether the children
below sixteen years of age should be given mobiles or not. The responses received were formulated
into a pie diagram
as under: Whether students should be given mobiles or not
Based on your understanding of the above passage, answer the questions: (1x12=12)
a) What adverse effect can mobiles have on teenagers?
b) Mention the disease which is linked to mobile phone usage?
c) How do the blue light emitted by phone screens adversely affect teenagers?

f) How do mobiles deviate the teenagers from channelising their energy in productive things?
g) Mobiles help people to remain entertained from morning to night with posts on social

live without them we should be prepared for that. In life we might
become very rich and affluent one day. Still, we should be simple from
heart and must not be ashamed of embracing it at any moment.

The Fun They Had’ is a futuristic story. It tells us about the
revolutionary changes that will come in the field of education in the
22nd century. Technology will replace the concept of old schools and
printed books. Margie and Tommy are the students of the year 2157.
They are taught in their bedrooms serving as virtual classrooms. A
mechanical teacher will replace a human teacher. Computers and e-
books will replace old printed books.

कई लोग असाधारर् अवसर की बाट जोहा करते हैं। साधारर् अवसर उनकी दृल्ष्ट्ट में उपर्ोगी
नहीं रहते। परं तु वाततव में कोई अवसर छोटा-बडा नहीं है। छोटे -से-छोटे अवसर का उपर्ोग
करने से, अपनी बुदचध को उसी में लभडा दे ने से, वही छोटा अवसर बडा हो जाता है। सवोत्तम
मनुष्ट्र् वे नहीं हैं, जो अवसरों की बाट दे खते रहते हैं, परं तु वे हैं जो अवसर को अपना दास बना
लेते हैं। हमारे सामने हमेशा ही अवसर उपल्तथत होते रहते हैं। र्दद हम में इच्छा-शल्क्त है , काम
करने की ताकत है, तब तो हम तवर्ं ही उनसे लाभ उठा सकते हैं। अवसर न लमलने की
लशकार्त कमजोर मनुष्ट्र् ही करते हैं। जीवन अवसरों की एक धारा है। तकूल, कॉलेज का प्रत्र्ेक
पाठ, परीक्षा का समर्, कदठनाई का प्रत्र्ेक पल, सदप
ु दे श का प्रत्र्ेक क्षर् एक अवसर है। इन
अवसरों से हम नम्र हो सकते हैं, ईमानदार हो सकते हैं, लमत्र बना सकते हैं, उत्तरदानर्त्वों का
मूपर् समझ सकते हैं और इस प्रकार उच्ि मनुष्ट्र्ता प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। ऐसे अनेक लोग हैं जो
अवसर को पकडकर करोडपनत हो गए। परं तु अवसरों का क्षेत्र र्हााँ समाप्त नहीं हो जाता।
अवसर का उपर्ोग करके हम इंजीननर्र, डॉक्टर, कला-ववशारद, कवव और ववदवान ् भी बन
सकते हैं। र्दर्वप अवसरों के उपर्ोग से धन कमाना अच्छा काम है, परं तु धन से भी कहीं श्रेष्ट्ठ
कार्य है। धन ही जीवन के प्रर्त्नों का अंत नहीं है, जीवन के लक्ष्र् की िरम सीमा नहीं है।

35. Electricity and magnetism were considered

separate and unrelated phenomena for a long time. In
the early decades of the nineteenth century,
experiments on electric current by Oersted, Ampere
and a few others established the fact that electricity
and magnetism are inter-related. They found that
moving electric charges produce magnetic fields. For
example, an electric current deflects a magnetic
compass needle placed in its vicinity. This naturally
raises the questions like: Is the converse effect
possible? Can moving magnets produce electric currents? Does nature permit such a
relation between electricity and magnetism? The answer is a resounding yes! The
experiments of Michael Faraday in England and Joseph Henry in the USA, conducted
around 1830, demonstrated conclusively that electric currents were induced in closed
coils when subjected to changing magnetic fields.
a) Name the phenomenon that is depicted in the diagram shown.

b) Write the condition when there will be no induced current in the coil.
c) Name any 2 devices that work on the phenomenon mentioned above.

Q38 . One of the most pressing environmental challenges our society faces today is that
of plastic waste management. In response to this government organisations came
together to conceptualize and execute a community driven campaign for waste collection
in schools called the ‘Plastic Mukt Abhiyan’ in 2022. Inspired by and operating under the
tenets of Swachh Bharat Mission , the Plastic Mukt Abhiyan was initiated with a two-fold
agenda; firstly, to sensitize students to the challenges that plastic waste management
poses, and secondly to implement a methodology through which tangible results could be
achieved. The Abhiyan focussed on triggering a behavioral change amongst the students
to discourage the use of single use plastics and shift to alternative substitutes like cloth
bags, bamboo or paper straws, paper cups, bagasse made cutlery, steel/copper water
bottles etc.
a. Why should we discourage the use of single use plastics?

b. Why does a bucket made up of plastic not rust like a bucket made up of iron?
c. What are the harmful effects of throwing plastic wrappers of food on public places?
d. Which type of plastic can be recycled and why ?
e. It is not advisable to burn plastic. Why?

31 The use of resources varies from one country to another.

Due to technology and skilled human resources,the
developed countries like the United Kingdom and USA make
optimum use of resources as compared to the developing
countries like India. Distribution of resources across the
world is highly uneven.Rapid population growth has resulted
in over utilisation of natural resources. This has led to drastic
depletion and degradation of natural resources.For example,
has resulted in depletion of fertility of soil in many parts of
the world. Thus, there is an urgent need to maintain a
balance between population,Resource Planning and
conservation.

31.1) Define the term sustainable development.
31.2)State two methods to create a sustainable community. 1
31.3)Analyze any one reason for the drastic depletion of 2
natural resources.
32 Before the advent of the East India Company the rural life in
India was self sufficient and simple. The British brought
many changes in the field of Land revenue system,
agriculture, trade, Industry and administration. As the British
empire expanded, the amount of revenue also increased. So
much so that land revenue became the biggest source of
income for the Company. At this stage, Land revenue
settlements were introduced with an aim to legitimise the
practice of economic exploitation. Therefore, the ZAMINDARI
SYSTEM under the permanent settlement was introduced in
Bengal in 1793 by Lord Cornwallis.
1
32.1 Enlist two features of Permanent settlement. 1
32.2. Analyse the impact of Zamindari system on Indian 1
Farmers.
32.3 Examine the objective behind the introduction of the 1
Land Revenue system in India by British.

Rights, but has also prescribed remedies against their
violation, if a citizen feels that one of her/his fundamental
rights has been violated by an executive order she/he may
request the supreme court/High Courts to issue the
appropriate writ for the restoration of her/his rights.
In case, a fundamental Right is violated,one can move to the
court of law and seek justice.But our fundamental Rights are
not absolute or unlimited.The constitution has imposed
certain restrictions to check the abuse of these
rights.Besides, the state is allowed to impose reasonable
restrictions in the interest of public order.

26 Soil: Lithosphere consists of loose surface material called pg. 1x5=5

soil. Factors Affecting the soil Formation: 10’
1. The Parent Rock: The original rock from which soil is 11
formed by the process of weathering is known as the
parent rock. For example, the black soil of India is
derived from the lava rock.
2) The Topography: Topographical variations, such as
mountains, plateaus and plains affect the thickness of a
soil cover. In mountainous regions, on the steep slopes,
the soil cover is thick and deep. Soil cover is always
thick in plains.
3) The Climate: Climate factors, like temperatures and
rainfall, affect soil formation. In the areas of high rainfall
and extreme temperature, rocks are easily weathered.
4) The Vegetation Cover: At times, plants grow in the cracks
existing in a rock. With time, roots of these plants start
penetrating in the cracks and make them wider. As a
result, cracks disintegrate into smaller pieces and help
in soil formation.
5) TIME
Time gives maturity to the soil.
The soil of Ganga Brahmaputra delta is very deep and
fertile.
