CBSE Class-10 Exam 2020 : Question Paper (English Communicative)

Subject : English Communicative
Time allowed : 3 hours
Maximum Marks : 80

Section – A

(Reading)

1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : 8

1 The time Uncle Ken and I went for a walk and he insisted on going the zigzag way, I did the same. It was fun. But like all things to do with Uncle Ken, it landed us in a situation where we had to make a hasty exit. While we were being chased away by an irate man from his fields and were dashing away, Uncle Ken’s hat flew off. Later, when we had stopped panting, I remembered what Granny had said about looking at the funny side of situations and had a good laugh. Unfortunately, I don’t think Uncle Ken saw the lighter side at that moment.

2 It helps to have such an outlook on finding oneself in the oddest of circumstances. Like the time I was in Mumbai and my belt decided to have some fun by getting entangled with a fellow passenger’s luggage. After that, I sat quietly at the book festival I had been taken to attend, to keep my belt out of trouble. And it’s not just belts that get me into trouble. There was the time I was sharing a taxi to Delhi with a gentleman with a fierce moustache. He was carrying a book written by me with him. When I told him it was my book, he looked offended that I was trying to lay a claim to his property. I gave up on the conversation quickly and filed it away for future use in a story.

3 I have even been accused by some of my younger audience for being too funny. Once a girl asked me disapprovingly why my ghost stories are not scary enough. ‘‘Your ghosts are too funny,’’ she grumbled. So, I tried to write a few scary ghost stories. But I find benign, friendly ghosts just as delightful. So, I also wrote about my friend Jimmy, who discovered he was a jinn. That meant he could elongate his arms at will. This ensured that he had a starring role to play in the school basketball team. Mostly, I feel I have been able to live this life enjoying its small moments of happiness and been able to laugh when needed.

1.1 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer any eight of the following questions : 1x8=8
(a) While on a walk, what did Uncle Ken insist on ?
(b) What happened when Uncle Ken was chased away from the field of an irate man ?
(c) How did Uncle Ken react to his hat flying off ?
(d) What was the oddest situation that the narrator had faced in Mumbai ?
(e) ‘I was trying to lay claim to his property.’ What is the ‘property’ referred to in this sentence ?
(f) What did the girl accuse the narrator of ?
(g) Why did Jimmy have a starring role to play in the school basketball team ?
(h) What kind of life did the narrator have ?
(i) Which word in paragraph 3 means the same as ‘harmless’ ?

2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : 12

1 Choice of profession and career is of great importance. Success depends on the right and timely choice of a career. There are a great variety of careers and professions. The lack of proper counselling worsens the situation. It also results in unemployment and frustration which means a lot of waste of money, time and energy. The students should take the help of elders, teachers, and professionals in deciding their careers. They should choose their career according to their aptitude and resources.

2 Young people are ambitious, impatient and eager to achieve good positions. They want to become high officials, executives and have top positions without considering their qualifications, skills etc. This is a wrong attitude. One should be realistic. One may dream of becoming a super film star and end up as a mere casual artist. Such high ambitions lead to disillusionment and unhappiness.

3 It is better to choose a career at the high school level than go for higher studies aimlessly. One should go for a vocational course at this stage. There are many careers, professions and vocations to choose from. There are teaching, engineering, medicine, law, technology, business, trade, computer application career, government employment, positions in the police and army etc. But each of these requires special aptitude, training, and resources. One may have proper qualifications and aptitude for a career of a doctor or engineer. But if there are no financial resources to train for it, one cannot choose it as one’s career. 4 Choice of a career is not simply a matter of likes and dislikes. Financial resources play a very important role in deciding to choose a profession. For lack of funds, one will have to choose a far humbler career. One can take to politics if one has an aptitude for public life. It is a profession of hard labour and perseverance. If you have strong optimism, ambition for fame and are prepared to face the worst, you are best suited for politics. If you have enough money and resources and want to grow very
rich, you can choose business as your career. Therefore, be practical, logical and reasonable in choosing your profession. This is a crucial choice.

2.1 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer any four of the following questions in 30 – 40 words each : 2x4=8

(a) State the factors that can help young people decide their career.
(b) What leads to disillusionment and unhappiness among young people ?
(c) What is the right time to make a career choice ? Why ?
(d) Why are financial resources important while choosing a career ?
(e) What are the qualities needed to become a politician ?

2.2 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, fill in any two of the following blanks with appropriate words/phrases : 1x2=2

(a) One’s success in life depends on ___________ .
(b) Lack of proper counselling leads to ___________ .
(c) ___________ play an important role in one’s choice of profession.

2.3 Find out words/phrases from the passage that mean the same as the following. Attempt any two. 1x2=2

(a) guidance (para 1)
(b) aspire (para 2)
(c) funds (para 3)

1. Read the following passage carefully.

(1) Caged behind thick glass, the most famous dancer in the world can easily be missed in the National Museum, Delhi. The Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-Daro is that rare artefact that even school children are familiar with. Our school textbooks also communicate the wealth of our 5000 year heritage of art. You have to be alert to her existence there, amid terracotta animals to rediscover this bronze image.

(2) Most of us have seen her only in photographs or sketches therefore the impact of actually holding her is magnified a million times over. One discovers that the dancing girl has no feet. She is small, a little over 10 cm tall – the length of a human palm – but she surprises us with the power of great art – the ability to communicate across centuries.

(3) A series of bangles – of shell or ivory or thin metal – clothe her left upper arm all the way down to her fingers. A necklace with three pendants bunched together and a few bangles above the elbow and wrist on the right hand display an almost modern art.

(4) She speaks of the undaunted ever hopeful human spirit. She reminds us that it is important to visit museums in our country to experience the impact that a work of art leaves on our senses, to find among all the riches one particular vision of beauty that speaks to us alone.
