www.onlinemocktest.guru

the IITs. The HRD ministry's proposal to make students sit for a common entrance test for all
IITs, NITs and IIITs has given rise to a national controversy. Besides undermining. The
antinomy of individual institutions to conduct their own entrance exams and ensuring
standards of admission, the move will also add to the pressure on students who already
have to face a slew of stringent test s before they can gain entry into one of these highly
regarded institutions. Its not just engineering or medical or business administration colleges
that are tough to get into. Almost all Indian colleges worth their names have test results of
90% and above as the qualifying requirement for admission. Which is why average students
from affiuent families have no option but to apply to foreign universities which have lower
entrance standards. Students apart, India's increasingly competitive society imposes a
series of tests on everyone. In many if not most fields, there are periodic evaluation to
ensure that members of the profession are up to date with the latest developments in their
discipline. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, architects, pilots, bureauarats all have to pass a
series of tests before they can engage in their lines of work.

Directions (Q 6-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. Certain words are
printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. The RBI's
decision to hold interest rates steady in its midterm policy review has disappointed both
industry and markets. A cut in rates, they argue, would boost investments and growth. But
the RBI is right in taking a contrary view. Despite the significant dip in growth, inflation
levels remain high with retail prices, in particular, ticking up. This points to serious supply
bottle necks and the governments inability to curtail spending. So far the govt. has been
unable to follow up on cutsin interest rates by the RBI in Apirl. And euro zone problems
have only worsened the global scenario. Monetary policy can work only if the govt takes
tough decisions to keep its side of the bargain. Otherwise the ignominies will continue to
pour in from rating agencies like Standard and Poor's and fetch, which can only mean more
trouble in the days ahead as investment freezes up.

Directions (Q. 11-20): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. Tobacco was first brought to India by Portuguese merchants 400 years ago.
Although there were already some strains of locally-grown tobacco in India these were out
classed by the new imported varieties from Brazil. The trade boomed and tobacco quickly
established itself as the most important commodity passing through Goa in the 17th
century. Virtually every household in the Portuguese colony took up the new fashion of
smoking or chewing tobacco. Later on the British introduced modern commercially-

15

www.ibpsadda.com

www.onlinemocktest.guru

produced cigarettes. Today Tobacco production is an important source of income for Indias
farmers. While alternative crops are available in terms of agronomic suitability, in general a
move away from tobacco production would result in reduced income and food security for a
considerable number of farmers. Manufacturing, particularly of bidi, is also a source of
employment and hence of income for a large number of people. Thus any attempts to
control the use of tobacco would need to take into account the economic impact on these
sectors. On the other hand it also exacerbates poverty, contributes to world hunger by
diverting prime land away from food production, damages the environment and reduces
economic productivity. To be effective, measures to control the central government
regulates advertising and promotion of cigarettes. The state governments regulate, at most,
advertising of other tobacco products. Advertising of cigarettes is currently banned on
television and commercial radio stations, and in government owned premises. Cinema,
press and outdoor advertising are permitted, as is sponsorship of sports and other events
and cultural activities. The use of hoardings and billboards is, however, restricted in certain
areas and some sports grounds. Some state governments have started to follow the policy
of the central government. For instance, in 1997, the Government of Delhi State imposed a
ban on tobacco advertising. During 1997/98, some other states followed in imposing such a
ban, notably Himachal Pradesh and Goa. The central government has considered imposing a
total ban on advertising of cigarettes under a new Tobacco Products (Regulation of
Production, Supply and Distribution) Bill. The code would have prohibited the use of
personal testimonials by those well known or those specifically working with children.
Advertisements were also to be banned in any media aimed primarily at those under 18.
However, the code had to be withdrawn in December, 1998, because of lack of cooperation
from Indias domestic manufacturers. In particular, the code came into conflict with the
promotion of tobacco products at sport venues and the use of prominent celebrities for
tobacco promotion. The Tobacco Institute of India is preparing a new code for possible
adoption by the tobacco manufacturers, modeled on similar agreements between
government and the tobacco industry in European countries, such as the United Kingdom
and the Netherlands. The new code includes standardized health warnings, the publication
of tar and nicotine levels, and the introduction of age restrictions for tobacco purchase.
Moreover on May 31 every year, the world also observes World No Tobacco Day (WNTD)
that is promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO). The objective of observing
World No Tobacco Day is to reduce tobacco consumption which can lead to deadly diseases
like cancer and early death.

Direction (Q. 21 - 30) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity is commonly referred to as
biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and micro organisms, the enormous
diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts,
rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Biodiversity is not
evenly distributed; rather it varies greatly across the globe as well as within regions. Among
other factors, the diversity of all living things (biota) depends on temperature, precipitation,

altitude, soils, geography and the presence of other species. The study of the spatial
distribution of organisms, species, and ecosystems, is the science of biogeography. Diversity
consistently measures higher in the tropics and in other localized regions and lower in Polar
Regions generally. Rain forests that have had wet climates for a long time. Appropriate
conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being
integral to any approach to preserving biodiversity. Almost all cultures have their roots in
our biological diversity in some way or form. Declining biodiversity is therefore a concern for
many reasons. It has long been feared that human activity is causing massive extinctions.
Despite increased efforts at conservation, it has not been enough and biodiversity losses
continue. The costs associated with deteriorating or vanishing ecosystems will be high.
However, sustainable development and consumption would help avert ecological problems.
Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all
have an important role to play. For example, a larger number of plant species means a
greater variety of crops; greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life
forms; and healthy ecosystems can better withstand and recover from a variety of
disasters. There is now unequivocal evidence that biodiversity loss reduces the efficiency by
which ecological communities capture biologically essential resources, produce biomass,
decompose and recycle biologically essential nutrients. There is mounting evidence that
biodiversity increases the stability of ecosystem functions through time. Diverse
communities are more productive because they contain key species that have a large
influence on productivity, and differences in functional traits among organisms increase
total resource capture. The impacts of diversity loss on ecological processes might be
sufficiently large to rival the impacts of many other global drivers of environmental change.
Maintaining multiple ecosystem processes at multiple places and times requires higher
levels of biodiversity than does a single process at a single place and time. It plays a part in
regulating the chemistry of our atmosphere and water supply. Biodiversity is directly
involved in water purification, recycling nutrients and providing fertile soils. Experiments
with controlled environments have shown that humans cannot easily build ecosystems to
support human needs. And so, while we dominate this planet, we still need to preserve the
diversity in wildlife. While there might be survival of the fittest within a given species,
each species depends on the services provided by other species to ensure survival. It is a
type of cooperation based on mutual survival.
