11. (Questions 11 to 14):Read the passage and answer the questions.

The stratosphere—specifically, the lower stratosphere—has, it seems, been drying
out. Water vapour is a greenhouse gas, and the cooling effect on the Earth’s climate
due to this desiccation may account for a fair bit of the slowdown in the rise of
global temperatures seen over the past ten years. Whether the trend will continue,
stop or reverse itself, though, is at present unknown.

The stratosphere sits on top of the troposphere, the lowest, densest layer of the
atmosphere. The boundary between the two, the tropopause, is about 18km above
your head, if you are in the tropics, and a few kilometres lower if you are at higher
latitudes (or up a mountain). The tropopause separates a rowdy below from a
sedate above. In the troposphere, the air at higher altitudes is in general cooler than
the air below it, an unstable situation in which warm and often moist air below is
endlessly buoying up into cooler air above. The resultant commotion creates
clouds, storms and much of the rest of the world’s weather. In the stratosphere, the
air gets warmer at higher altitudes, which provides stability
1
The stratosphere—which extends up to about 55km, where the mesosphere begins
—is made even less weather-prone by the absence of water vapour, and thus of the 
clouds and precipitation to which it leads. This is because the top of the
troposphere is normally very cold, causing ascending water vapour to freeze into
ice crystals that drift and fall, rather than continuing up into the stratosphere.

A little water manages to get past this cold trap. But as Dr Solomon and her
colleagues note, satellite measurements show that rather less has been doing so
over the past ten years than was the case previously. Plugging the changes in water
vapour into a climate model that looks at the way different substances absorb and
emit infrared radiation, they conclude that between 2000 and 2009 a drop in
stratospheric water vapour of less than one part per million slowed the rate of
warming at the Earth’s surface by about 25%.

Such a small change in stratospheric water vapour can have such a large effect
precisely because the stratosphere is already dry. It is the relative change in the
amount of a greenhouse gas, not its absolute level, which determines how much
warming it can produce, and this change was about 10% of the total.

By comparison with the greenhouse effect caused by increases in carbon dioxide,

the stratospheric drying is hardly massive. Dr Solomon and her colleagues peg the
2000-2009 cooling effect at about a third of the opposite effect they would expect
from the carbon dioxide added over the same decade, and only a bit more than a
twentieth of the warming expected from the rise in carbon dioxide since the
industrial revolution. But it is surprising, nonetheless.

It is for the most part only in the tropics that tropospheric air can be drawn up into
the stratosphere; it is also in the tropics that one finds the most spectacular
thunderstorms, and these can reduce the temperature at the top of the troposphere,
deepening the cold trap that ascending water vapour must pass through and thus
impeding its rise. Over the past decade this stormy effect seems to have been
pronounced, with the coldest parts of the tropical troposphere getting about a
degree colder. But why this should be is not clear. Sea-surface temperatures, which
drive the big tropical storms, have been high, and during the past few years have
seemed to correlate with increased coldness aloft. At other times, though, they
have seemed to predict a wetter stratosphere.

Dr Solomon cannot say what is driving the change she and her colleagues have
studied, nor how long it will last. It may be one of many aspects of the climate that
flop around, seemingly at random, over periods of years to decades. Or it might be
something driven by a long-term change, such as the build-up of greenhouse gases
1
(or, conceivably, layers of sooty smog). Dr Solomon suspects the former, because
of the way the relationship between the stratosphere and the sea-surface

temperature has changed. Patterns of sea-surface temperature which come and
go, rather than absolute levels that continue to rise, may be the important thing.

That said, it is possible that the changes in the stratosphere are linked to the
effects humans are having on the atmosphere at large, and that the drying may
persist in providing a brake on warming. Or it may be, as others have suggested in
the past, that the long-term trend, as the troposphere warms up, will be to a wetter,
more warming lower stratosphere, too. Whether this is the case depends on
physical subtleties that are currently undecided, but it is not implausible. If it were
true, then the current drying would be more a blip than a trend.

What is the order of layers in the atmosphere, starting from the lowermost and
going to the topmost?
a) Tropopause, Troposphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere.
b) Troposphere, Tropopause, Stratosphere, Mesosphere.
c) Troposphere, Tropopause, Mesosphere, Stratosphere. bbcd
d) Troposhere, Stratosphere, Tropopause, Mesosphere.

12. What is the passage has been cited as the main reason affecting global
temperatures?
a) Relative change in water vapour content in the Stratosphere.
b) Drop in Stratospheric water vapour of less than one part per million.
c) The extreme dropness in the Stratosphere.
d) Absorption and emission of infrared radiation by different substances.

13. Why is the situation in the troposphere defined as unstable?

a) Because, unlike the Stratosphere, there is too much water vapour in the
Troposphere.
b) Because the Troposphere is not directly linked to the Stratosphere, but through
the Tropopause which creates much of the world‘s weather.
c) Because of the interaction between warm and cool air which is unpredictable in
nature and can leads to storms.
d) Because this layer of the atmosphere is very cloudy and can lead to weather
related disruptions.

14. What accounts for the absence of water vapour in Stratosphere?

a) The layer of Stratosphere is situated too far above the water vapour to reach.
b) Rising global temperatures, leading to reduced water vapour that get absorbed in
the Troposphere.
1
c) The greenhouse gas gets absorbed by the cloudes in the Troposphere and
comes down as rain.

d) Before the vapour can rise up, it has to pass through below freezing
temperatures and turns into ice.

15. (Questions 15 to 18):Environmental toxins which can affect children are

frighteningly commonplace. Besides lead, there are other heavy metals such as
mercury, which is found frequently in fish, that are spewed into the air from coal-
fired power plants, says Maureen Swanson, MPA, director of the Healthy Children
Project at the Learning Disabilities Association of America. Mercury exposure can
impair children’s memory, attention, and language abilities and interfere with fine
motor and visual spatial skills. A recent study of school districts in Texas showed
significantly higher levels of autism in areas with elevated levels of mercury in the
environment. Researchers are finding harmful effects at lower and lower levels of
exposure, says Swanson.
They’re now telling us that they don’t know if there’s a level of mercury that’s safe.
Unfortunately, some of these chemicals make good flame retardants and have
been widely used in everything from upholstery to televisions to children’s clothing.
Studies have found them in high levels in household dust, as well as in breast milk.
Two categories of these flame retardants have been banned in Europe and are
starting to be banned by different states in the United States. The number of toxins
in our environment that can affect children may seem overwhelming at times. On at
least some fronts, however, there is progress in making the world a cleaner place
for kids and just possibly, reducing the number of learning disabilities and
neurological problems.With a number of efforts to clean up the environment stalled
at the federal level, many state governments are starting to lead the way.And rather
than tackle one chemical at a time, at least eight states are considering plans for
comprehensive chemical reform bills, which would take toxic chemicals off the
market.

Question: “Besides lead, there are other heavy metals such as mercury, which are
found frequently in fish, that are spewed into the air from coal-fired power plants”.
How can this line be worded differently.

A. Besides lead, mercury is another heavy metal which is found frequently in

discarded fish cooked in coal-fired power plants.
B. Besides lead, fish contains mercury which is a heavy metal ejected in the air from
power plants using coal.
C. Fish, contains mercury which is released in the air as industrial waste and which 1

is also a heavy metal like lead.

D. Mercury released in the air as industrial waste is another heavy metal like lead, 
found in fish.
16. All these are harmful effect of mercury in the children EXCEPT
A. Affect driving skill
B. Causes attention deficits ordered
C. lead to neurological problems
D. Impacts ability to learn language
17. “Researcher are finding harmful effects at a lower level of exposure “How can
this line be interpreted?
A. Lower level of exposure are harmful
B. Harmful effects from exposure are becoming less intense
C. Amount of clothing has an impact on harmful effect
D. Even little exposure, can cause harm
18. On at least some fronts, however, there is progress in making the world a
cleaner place for kids-and just possibly, reducing the number of learning disabilities
and neurological problems. What ‘front’ is being referred to?
A. Effort of Healthy children project at the learning disabilities association of
America
B. Banning of flame retardant in Europe and various states of America.
C. More and more states are joining the 2 states in Europe and various states in
America that have already banned harmful chemicals.
D. Proposed bill resulting in a blanket ban on all harmful chemicals.

19. (Questions 19 to 22):

For some animals, hunkering down in a cozy den when nights are long and
temperatures are low isn’t just a matter of temporary comfort — it’s necessary for
survival.
Certain animal species have evolved an adaptation that allows them to weather
long stretches of time when food is scarce — they enter a state known as
hibernation. And what happens when an animal hibernates is much more dramatic
than simply curling up for an extended nap; extreme metabolic changes are taking
place. The animal’s heart and breathing rates slow down, and its body temperature
drops. Depending on the species, days or even weeks may pass without the animal
waking to drink, eat or relieve itself.
Some animals like birds migrate during winters to relatively hotter places and they
even travel long distances to survive the winter. They use the Sun for their direction.
Most of the birds fly with the Sun on the same side of their flight. Some birds use
the positions of stars to travel during night time. The animals like Sea turtles can 1

sense their direction of movement since they can feel the Earth’s magnetic field to
identify North and South directions. 
Most of the animals keep themselves prepared with surplus food before
hibernating or migrating. In winter this helps them to survive while they are under
the migration or hibernation. Birds consume food nearly double to their weight to
help them supply surplus energy needs for their long flights.
The migration of birds usually follow the same path every year. But sometimes due
to presence of skyscrapers, pollution, availability of food along the path make them
change their path of migration.
Question: What does the word HUNKERING mean?
20. Which animals can sense Earth’s magnetic field?
A. Birds
B. Rabbits
C. Sea turtles
D. Birds and sea turtles
21. Which of the following can affect the birds paths of migration?
A. Quality of air
B. Presence of water along the path
C. Presence of predators along the path
D. All the above
22. Which of the following is true?
A. Animals save surplus food for winter.
B. Animals perform hibernation for surviving through the winter.
C. During hibernation the body metabolism of the animal decreases
D. All the above.
