Reading Comprehension

Q.66-70) Consider the passage below and answer the questions that follow-

For many commentators, the Internet has always been an inherently educational tool. Indeed, many
people would argue that the main characteristics of the Internet align closely with the core concerns
of education. For instance, both the Internet and education are concerned with information
exchange, communication, and the creation of knowledge.

Thus, in light of the Internet’s capacity to allow these activities to take place on a vast and almost
instantaneous scale, the educational implications of the Internet are understandably often described
in grand terms. Take, for example, this recent pronouncement from Jeb Bush:

The Internet isn’t just a powerful tool for communication. It’s arguably the most potent force for
learning and innovation since the printing press. And it’s at the center of what is possibly America’s
mightiest struggle and greatest opportunity: How to reimagine education for a transformative era.

Beyond such hyperbole, the implications of the Internet for education and learning can be
understood in at least four distinct ways. First, is the potential of the Internet to offer individual
learners increased freedom from the physical limitations of the real world. This is often expressed in
terms of reducing constraints of place, space, time, and geography, with individuals able to access
high-quality learning opportunities and educational provision regardless of local circumstances. The
Internet is therefore portrayed as allowing education to take place on an any time, any place, any
pace basis. Many commentators extend these freedoms into a transcendence of social and material
disadvantage, with the Internet perceived as an inherently democratizing medium. The ability to
support freer and fairereducational interactions and experiences is seen to reflect the Internet’s
underpinning qualities as “a radically democratic zone of infinite connectivity”.

Secondly, the Internet is seen to support a new culture of learning—i.e., learning that is based
around bottom-up principles of collective exploration, play, and innovation rather than top-down
individualized instruction (Thomas and Seely-Brown 2011). The Internet allows learning to take place
on a many-to-many rather than one-to-many basis, thereby supporting socio-constructivist modes of
learning and cognitive development that are profoundly social and cultural in nature. Many
educators would consider learners to benefit from the socially rich environments that the Internet

can support (see Luckin 2010). For example, it is often argued that the Internet offers individuals
enhanced access to sources of knowledge and expertise that exist outside of their immediate
environment. In this sense, there is now considerable interest in the ability of the Internet to
support powerful forms of situated learning and digitally dispersed communities of practice. The
Internet is therefore seen as a powerful tool in supporting learning through authentic activities and
interactions between people and extended social environments.

Question 66) According to the passage, what is one of the main characteristics shared by the
Internet and education?

A) Information exchange
B) Entertainment purpose
C) Political activism
D) Business transaction

Question 67) According to the passage, what is one of the implications of the Internet for education
and learning?

A) Enhanced access to situated learning

B) Promotion of top-down instruction
C) Limitation of educational opportunities
D) Reduction of social and cultural interactions

Question 68) Based on the passage, which term best describes the Internet's impact on education?

A) Conservative
B) Disruptive
C) Isolated
D) Inconsequential

Question 69) According to the passage, what distinguishes the Internet as an educational tool?

A) Its focus on individualized instruction

B) Its limited scope for communication
C) Its ability to promote conformity
D) Its potential for transcending physical limitations

Question 70) Based on the passage, what is one of the ways in which the Internet supports learning
and cognitive development?

A) Promoting individualized instruction

B) Encouraging passive consumption of information
C) Facilitating socio-constructivist modes of learning
D) Restricting access to external sources of knowledge

Q.71-75) Consider the passage below and asnwer the questions that follow-

The English Civil was an important part of English Revolution in 17th Century. It was a series of
armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians and Royalists. It lasted ten
years-from 1642 to 1651. According to the opinions of the historians, the English Civil war in 17th
century could be divided into two parts: the first English Civil war and the second English Civil War.
At last, the Parliamentarians won the war. It caused a big change in English political system.

The parliamentarians and the royalists stood for the benefits of different people. The
parliamentarians stood for the benefits of the new bourgeoisies, new nobles, yeomen, and most of
the commons. The royalists stood for the benefits of the king, the old nobles, the priests and the
bureaucrats and the magnates. With the development of the economy, the conflicts between them
became more serious.

England was one of the blankets of Capitalism. Since the 13th century, many nobles and people who
had money began to buy lands and managed their farms. Many farmers who lost their lands became
the main labors for the development of the capitalism. Many farmers worked in one farm, and the
products of the farm will go to market directly. Besides the agriculture, the commerce and industry
got a great development. With the development of the economy, bourgeois became an important
part of the society. However, under the reign of the king, the economy developed very slowly. The
feudality blocked the development of the economy. In addition, Charles I levied upon heavy tax from
the citizens for his luxurious life and the war. More and more people opposed the reign of Charles I.
Charles I did not care the people, and continued to carry out his policies. He even decided to break
the parliament. The conduct of Charles I had enraged people. Rebellions happened in many places.

In November, 1641, the parliament made and passed a document to accuse the bad conduct of
Charles I, and required him to give industry and commerce freedom. The most important point of
this document was that the government should listen to the parliament. However, Charles I did not
agree with this kind of document. To response the rebellion, he captured the members of the House
of Commons, but he failed at last. Further negotiations by frequent correspondence between the
King and the Long Parliament through early summer proved fruitless. In August 22, 1642, Charles I
declared to crusade against the members of the Parliament who rebelled him. This thing caused the
first English war between parliamentarians and royalists.

Comparing the powers of the two camps, the camp supporting parliament was in dominant position.
The areas the parliament controlled were developed. Four fifths of the tax was got from these areas.
Most of the people support the parliament. In addition, the army of the parliament controlled
important harbors and navy. However, the parliament was in a hard condition in the beginning. To
change the bad condition of the war, in 1645 Parliament reaffirmed its determination to fight the
war to a finish. “It passed the Self-denying Ordinance, by which all members of either House of
Parliament laid down their commands, and re-organized its main forces into the New Model Army
(“Army”), under the command of Sir Thomas Fairfax, with Cromwell as his second-in-command and
Lieutenant-General of Horse.” At the Battle of Naseby on 14 June and the Battle of Langport on 10
July, the Parliamentarians effectively destroyed Charles’ armies. Charles was eventually handed over
to the English Parliament by the Scots and was imprisoned. This marked the end of the First English
Civil War.

Question 71) What event prompted the declaration of the first English Civil War?

A) The Parliament's demand for industry and commerce freedom

B) Charles I's capture of members of the House of Commons
C) The passage of the Self-denying Ordinance by Parliament
D) The rebellion against Charles I by the Parliament

thought. The expression, therefore, indicates quite accurately the events that occurred in the
scientific society that succeeding the sixteenth century.

191. Answer: D) DCBA

Explanation- The best possible paragraph formed is - At the start of the scientific revolution, only a
few of Europe's academics and at the end of the sixteenth century regarded themselves as scientists.
"Natural philosopher" expressions had a lot of academic influence; hence, many of the studies on
scientific theory did conduct evaluations on the scientific realm as per se. The conducting is on a
philosophy basis where logical means such as pragmatism, as well as teleology, had promotion
broadly (Butterfield, 1960). Empiricism, together with teleology in the 17th century, happened as
fragments of medieval thinking, which philosophers like William of Ockham utilized. Empiricism is a
theory that ascertains that truth encompasses exclusively of what physically proficiencies.

Spheres," where he cites that the sun is the midpoint of the cosmos and that the globe together with
the other planets revolves in circular paths. The ideas of Copernicus have a significant influence on
other scholars in the science field. The Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), for instance,

194. Answer: C) CBAD

Explanation- The best possible paragraph formed is - Sadly, our society does not allow for ex-
convicts to just simply turn a new leaf and start their lives free from burden and crime. An early
example of the discrimination against ex-convicts can be seen from the life of George Appo in 19th
century New York. In his autobiography, George Appo reveals that his choice of a life of crime was
the result of various unfortunate circumstances throughout his life, rather than a selfish desire to
maximize profits from the criminal trade. Appo started his life without his father, who had been
convicted of murder after defending himself against attacks by his housemate, or his mother and
sister, who had died in a shipwreck.

Explanation- The best possible paragraph formed is - In Friedan's novel, The Feminine Mystique , she
highlighted the dead-end fate that women of that era faced, the inevitable fate of confinement to
one's home. The women she discussed were seen as mothers, wives, cooks, and housekeepers, but
were never seen as individuals with opinions and minds of their own. Those women were expected
from the moment of their birth to the day they died to submit and provide for the men in their lives.
They were not allowed to experience equality in the workforce, to go on birth control, or even to get
legal abortions.

196. Answer: A) ABCD

cornerstone of modern gender politics, as it ignited the second wave of the feminist movement,
taught generations how to navigate the life of a woman in American society. At a time when
women's importance was reduced to their fertility. Women's only tools at the time were thought to
be makeup and cleaning supplies and not their brains. This novel promoted women's reproductive
rights, called for better education for females, opposed sexist workplace laws and attitudes towards
parenting responsibilities and, above all, supported a woman's right to discuss openly the
fundamental question of what it entails to live a full life. Fundamentally, at the root of Friedan's
message with The Feminine Mystique is a tireless emphasis on the right to pursue one's dreams free
from limitations.

197. Answer: B) BCAD

Explanation- The best possible paragraph formed is - America has always been and continues to be a
diverse nation. One issue all Americans face is how to ensure that every citizen, regardless of race,
ethnicity, gender, or religion, can enjoy the freedom and equality that the country was founded
upon. It has been common in American history to discriminate against groups of people that are
seen as "different". However, if this country is ever to truly flourish, then acceptance and tolerance
must be our first response to changes as opposed to repression and persecution.

Explanation- The best possible paragraph formed is - In addition to the harsh treatment of the
Spaniards on the Pueblo Indians, another racial minority group that faced cruelty and discrimination
in America are African Americans. The legal institution of African slavery defined the lack of freedom

the 1700s, 151,600 people were free Europeans while 278,400 were enslaved Africans. 400,000
enslaved Africans would be sold into America before the abolishment of the international slave
trade. By 1860, the U.S. slave population was at 4,500,000.

Explanation- The best possible paragraph formed is - Throughout American history, whenever this
country and its people have felt threatened, the immediate reaction was always to repress and
persecute. In retrospect, we come to realize that the denial of civil liberties did not make the country
any better. On the contrary, we can now recognize the injustices the American government upheld
against various groups of people. The temptation to limit the constitutional protections of the
American people must be resisted as, in fact, adherence with the Constitution is not an obstacle to
national security.
