Section - A (Reading)

Read the following passage carefully : High altitude climbing is still a very dangerous task in spite of availability of oxygen masks and other protective equipments, which modern climbers take with them. These, of course, are indispensable accessories of climbing but more important than these is the stamina of the climber, which ultimately determines the success of his attempt. Throughout his journey, death is his constant companion, which he can keep at a distance only with his superb presence of mind. He has to tread every inch of the ground with utmost care, for a false step may not only strike him a fatal blow, but also bring disaster to the whole expedition. That is why all expeditions invariably take with them local guides who are experienced climbers and who have a thorough knowledge of the nature of the terrain. The primary object of a mountaineering expedition is to get to the top conquer it. But it should not be presumed that the expedition is a complete failure if it does not reach its destination. Sometimes operations are temporarily suspended because of bad weather, loss of some valuable equipment or the sudden death of a very important member of the party. Every big expedition takes with it men who are interested in various branches of science, and these men carry with them equipment for recording their observations concerning the weather, the terrain, and different forms of life in higher altitudes. Other scientists, explorers and expeditionists utilize the fruits of their observations. The British Expedition led by colonel hunt would have found their way to Everest much more difficult had not earlier expeditions armed them with useful knowledge about the death - dealing weather which they had to encounter in the vicinity of the summit. To ordinary people, mountaineering need not to be a fearful journey in the land of snowstorms, where the brave adventurer is always face to face with death. They can scale less ambitious heights, rest their weary limbs under a quiet shelter and feast their eyes in the distant landscape. A1- Answer the following questions carefully: (10) a) How can the climber keep death at a distance? b) Describe the primary objective of mountaineering. c) When are mountaineering expeditions suspended temporarily? d) What do men who accompany a big expedition carry with them? e) Choose the appropriate meanings of the given words from the options provided. i) Fatal - deadly / cruel / dangerous / serious ii) Expedition - journey / picnic / movement / action Read the following poem carefully :

Fame is a food that dead men eat, I have no stomach for such meat. In little light and narrow room, They eat in the silent tomb. With no kind voice of comrade near To bid the feaster be of cheer. But friendship is a noble thing. Of friendship it is good to sing. For truely when a man shall end, He lives in memory of his friend, Who doth his better part recall, And of his fault make funeral.

A2- Answer the following questions. (10) a) By the expression 'Fame is a food that dead men eat'. What does the poet mean? b) Why is the friendship a noble thing? c) Why is friendship better than fame? d) In the last line of the above poem what does the poet want to convey? e) What does the word 'recall' mean?
