Section B: Comprehension: Read the passage carefully and answer all the questions

We are today faced with a great ecological problem for which we are largely responsible The planet, earth, the only home of man is bathed in a steady rain of the sun rays. Most of these rays supply us heat and light, but small percentage is deadly. These are the ultraviolet – B rays (or UV B). If these were to get to the surface of the earth directly, they would kill us off. Luckily the earth surface is shielded from these rays by the ozone layer, but sadly enough this ozone layer is being destroyed by man.

The ozone layer formed from a kind of oxygen with three atoms (O3) instead of normal two (O2). Ozone occurs naturally in the stratosphere, several kilometers above the earth’s surface. It absorbs the dangerous UV B rays but allow the much needed safe light to pass through. There in the stratosphere, it is constantly being created by the sun’s ray, thus it is a self-repairing shield. But man is now gradually destroying this vital shield with his industrial gases. The most lethal of these gases are the chlorofluoro carbons or CFC which are used in making all kind of foamed plastic products propellant in spray cans, coolant in air conditioner and refrigerators and solvent to clean electronic equipment.

Down here, they are not lethal. But after they have leaked from air conditioners, plastic, foam, cups, etc., they slowly drift up to the stratosphere where, bombarded by ultraviolet rays, they break up at last, releasing chlorine, the real ozone killer. Sadly, one chlorine molecule may remain active for a century destroying thousands of ozone molecules.

Question:

What is the greatest ecological problem man faces todays?

What is the ozone layer made of?

Where it is normally found?

Describe the importance of the ozone layer.

How is man destroying the ozone layer?.

Give the name the gas specifically mentioned as very dangerous to the ozone layer.

What kind of figurative expression is: The planet earth the only home of man, is bathed in a steady rain of the sun’s rays?

……which are used in making all kind of foamed plastic products

What grammatical name is given to this expression?

What is the function in the sentence

(h) for each of the following words find another word or phrase that means the same and can replace it as used in the passage

(I) shielded (II) absorbs (III) Vital (IV) Lethal (V) Active

Section C: summary : Read the following question carefully and answer the summary question

The story of warfare reveal that man has come a long war in the beginning a man contented himself with simple hand hurled missiles. Man threw stones at other animals in warfare, as his enemies. Destruction are minimal, as this is determined by the size and roughness of the stone and the energy of the thrower. Even when man later invented the catapult, destruction was only slightly higher. The primitive catapult was made from tough rope at one end of which was tied a big stone. Its most limiting was that such a missile, no matter how strong the force behind it, could kill only one person at a time.

Things were relatively easy for the assailant with the invention of the bow and arrow. For the first time, man utilized very little strength to bring down his enemy, even at a distance position. The size of the bow the elasticity of the string, and the sharpness of the arrow, much more than the rude energy of the thrower, determined how fast arrow travelled. The weapon became even more significant when man later fix a sharp metal to the tip of the arrow. And when that metal was dyed in highly lethal poison, it became even more effective in killing man.

It’s the coming of metal, farm implement where developed. But man, soon turn some of these especially the machete, into weapon of combat. The sword is thus a close cousin of the machete. Used in combat, the sword especially when carried by a very skilled fighter on a horse could wreck more havoc than the bow and arrow. It is that the foremost conqueror of the classic period from Alexander the great to Julius Caesar,used this simple hand-borne instrument of combat. And this in its simple scabbard reigned for centuries.

Things took a dramatic turn with the invention of gun and bullet. The arrival of gun introduced the destruction of human lives at an unprecedented rate with the most elementary gun. In the handoff foot soldier, it became possible to count casualties in hundreds in a single encounter. With practically no physical effort, apart from the moving of a finger on the trigger, the highly lethal bullet is sent through the barrel at a speed much faster than that of sound. The enemy, the enemy, at a considerable distance, may thus be brought down without even the shooting or seeing the assailant.

The development of grenades, bombs, missiles, nuclear, and chemical warheads have made all previous weapons appear little more than toys. With bombs delivered by fast-flying airplanes, and nuclear and chemical warheads borne to their distant destinations by unmanned missiles, destruction of cities and infact, whole countries within a matter of is now a great possibility. Today man doesn’t need to be physically present to haul or throw the spare or send the arrow the missile has now replace all these. And it does not need to be physically sent by an individual. Electronic and computers do the lunching, and man dies in hundreds of thousands.

Question : in five(5) sentences, one for each, summarize the different type of warfare and their relative effectiveness.

SECTION B (COMPREHENSION)

READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON IT.

The mansion by the roadside in my village reminds me of a similar sight in the state capital, three decades ago. Standing conspicuously, by the highway in the heart of the city. The mansion posed a bold challenge to road users. It belonged to chief Koko who was regarded as untouchable in his community. Nobody dared step on his toes. Motorists has learnt to steer clear of it. it was generally assumed that moving close to it could cost one one’s life.

Then came a governor who decided to widen all the major roads in the capital city. He stressed that this would involve the demolition of buildings that fell within twenty metres from the centre of the road. However, although the governor also stressed that compensations would be paid, chief Koko was not impressed. He made it clear that nothing should tamper with his mansion warning that whoever defied him risked dire consequences.

Not long after the governor’s official proclamation, newspaper reporters had a field day speculating on the unprecedented confrontation with chief. With time, news filtered out that he asserted that whoever dared him would certainly end up where other like them had gone. The message was clear-defiance meant death so, reporters were pleading for a new route to circumvent the mansion. However, the governor made it clear that there would be no retreat.

Before long, work started on the project. One of the first casualties was a post office that was just some metres within the specified distance. It was cut into two. Soon, the frontage of a school nearby also followed. But, it was assumed that things would be different with the mansion whose owner tolerated no effrontery. Day by day, the project moved closer to the mansion, with the heavy machine levelling one structure after another. Then, when it was clear that the mansion was next in line, the driver of the bulldozer requested to governor to spare his life since children were still very young.

The following morning, people got a shocker; the governor himself showed up at the site and asked for the key to the bulldozer, ready to assume the role of the driver. The driver, surveying the possible consequence, tearfully climbed up and pleaded that the governor should please care for his children after his demise. The governor announced that if anything was to happen, he not the driver , would be the target.

So, the driver got to work and the mansion collapsed like a pack of cards. Press photographers went to town with the cameras, hoping to capture chief Koko in action. But nothing unusual happened, and soon the whole structure became a rubble.

The aftermath? everybody thought either or both men would soon belong to the great beyond. But this much I know, that governor is still around; and so is the driver.

What opinion did people have of chief Koko?

What does the expression, unprecedented confrontation tell us about the governor?

Why was it necessary to demolish buildings?

When the driver said that his children were still very young, what did he imply?

……..people got a shocker. Why was the governor’s action a shocker?

What did people expect chief Koko to do after the demolition of his mansion?

Not long after the governor’s official proclamation. i. what grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the passage?. ii. What is its function?

Quote a simile used in the sixth paragraph of the passage.

For each of the following words, find another word or phrase which means the same and which can replace it as it is used in the passage;

i. Assumed ii. Retreat iii. Specified iv. Showed up v. Collapsed

SECTION C; SUMMARY

READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON IT.

Every normal human being would want to put his or her feet up once in a while and relax, but, obviously, one cannot relax all the time. A little work does not kill. Rather, it keeps one active and mentally alert.

Some people think that the invention of robots is the best thing that ever happened to man. They are convinced that the invention has saved the day because robots are ideal workers who work without complaining or getting tired. Robots never reveal company secrets for any reason – corruption, fame or blackmail.

The admirers of robots think that once a robot is programmed, it can do any piece of work with precision over a long period without slowing down, getting bored or even going on break or vacation. Robots can be made to perform any task. They do not grumble usually demand. They also work under conditions which human beings would not accept due to either incapability or attitude.

One good thing about the robot is that any of its damaged parts can be replaced for work to go on effectively. On the other hand, if a human being loses a vital part of the body, that part may not be replaced for work to go on as effectively as before.

There is no doubt at all that the robot is useful but I strongly believe that the human being is more efficient that the robot in many ways. Human beings are sensitive, thinking beings who are flexible and can therefore control their actions. Thus, they can perform more fuctions than robots. Since human beings can think, discriminate and make value judgements, they can solve problems on the spur of the moment. The robot, on the other hand, cannot do this because what it has been programmed for is all that it is capable of doing. If a robot is wrongly programmed, it will continue to produce the wrong result until its programme is corrected.

The human being can take the initiative in many things. He can communicate or even call for assistance when need be, which the robot cannot do. The human being can be appealed to, to make some crucial changes, he can also learn from observing what goes on the modify what he is doing.

It is clear that even though robots are useful, they are deficient in many ways, and therefore cannot have an advantage over human beings. In crisis, the robot cannot face the challenge. It neither reacts not reflects.

The robot is designed and programmed by human beings. How then can the created be superior to the creator? Robots are created to assist human beings and relieve them of some of their burdens, not to take over completely from them.

In three sentences, one for each, state why the admirers of robots think that robots are more efficient than human beings.

In three sentences, one for each, state three advantages which the human being has over the robot.
