China - Missing Women
(6)sometimes it uses stem policies to force them into it
2 Consequent to the population explosion, the Government introduced, in the 80‟s, one child policy in China Any additional pregnancy had to be terminated This was aimed to put a check on the teeming millions The policy had no relation to extermination of girl child in the womb But the policymakers had no idea about its long term impact People, with a patriarchic mindset, came up wit h their preference for a single male child The idea of a happy family became „parents with a single male child‟
3 The Chinese culture has always promoted sons over daughters because the society has been dominated by males In villages, where hard work is needed to sustain the agriculture, a boy is always preferable due to his superior physical strength compared to that of a girl [B■] In such circumstances, looking forward to a male baby seems justified If people have to limit their families, it is obvious they would prefer a boy over a girl child This problem has been accentuated by the use of ultrasound scanning which helps determine the sex of the fetus This technology has played a crucial role in creating gender imbalance Sociologists consider this imbalance as the aftermath of Government‟s poorly thought and short-sighted policy The Government's intentions notwithstanding, China came to develop a markedly lopsided sex ratio Nobel Laureate Hayek feels that when Government tries to dominate the social system by making people forcibly inculcate a certain habit, such a condition is bound to happen People try to find ways which not only fulfill their preferences but also satisfy the law makers The Government damaged the dynamics of a healthy society and was now bearing the brunt of its past deeds
5 Hayek argues that by no means should a centralized bureaucracy be allowed to design preferences for hundreds of thousands of people, without even consulting them In such a system, with the passage of time, unforeseen consequences spring up Government can bind people to its chosen course for a time but the impositions cannot limit their options for long [C■] The quarter century that has passed since commencement of the effort to redesign the Chinese family is leaving behind its own trail
6 The Government needs to be careful now It has to invent new remedies to address this problem It needs to redesign the social fabric so that programs like „Care for Girls‟ get support of the masses, who seem to have little faith in the system They view the new program for the girl child in the same resigned manner as the program that was forced on them in the past Some women social workers are of the view that the fall of sex ratio has been an advantage for the women of China, as their social value has increased [D■] The Government policy has in a way helped uplift the status of females The real fear now is that China will soon be faced with hordes of bachelors at war with their brethren over finding their brides The “surplus sons” of China need to stop interfering with the social system
Question 43: The word "havoc" in paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. ordinary problem B. great destruction and trouble C. serious dispute D. an infectious disease
(7)A. Government is providing incentives to girls
B. Government is trying to decipher implications of the census records
C. Government is devising polices to undermine the position of boys in the society D. Government is extending incentives to encourage parents with single girls Question 45: What is the "blueprint" as discussed in paragraph 1?
A. It is a list of rules for the Chinese people to follow to maintain population control B. It is a rough plan for regulating community behavior
C. It is the Government‟s plan containing details of regulations and incentives to improve the girl child ratio
D. It is a printed guide for conduct rules governing sex ratio
Question 46: The word “teeming” in paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. overflowing B. female population C. couples D. general population Question 47: What was the vision behind the government's policy discussed in paragraph 2?
A. The vision about China with women at top positions in the government B. The vision for China to control its burgeoning population in near future C. The vision about a female dominated society
D. The vision that Chinese young men and women would find life partners among themselves Question 48: The word "inculcate" as used in paragraph means
A. calculate the pros and cons
B. forting somebody to one's bidding C. get into the habit of
D. impressing upon the mind by persistent urging
Question 49: How has "One Child Policy" supposedly improved the value of females? (Refer paragraph 6)
A. Due to scarcity of girl child, there is a perceived sense of "value" B. Government has worked hard to promote the policy
C. Low female ratio has helped the cause of health of the girl child D. Females are able to get good education as family expenditure is limited
Question 50: Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage:

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
(10)real than speech A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language Human beings have been writing at least 5,000 years, but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings When writing developed, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Even today, there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal man cannot be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past, many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write while some who learn the rudiments of those skills so imperfectly
To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not to disparage the later One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized
Question 12: According to paragraph 1, the author of the passage argues that _ A writing has become too important in today's society
B speech is more basic to language than writing C everyone who learns to speak must learn to writing D all languages should have a written form
Question 13:The word “doubtless” in the passage mostly means _ A “almost uncertainly” B “almost certainly” C “almost impossibly” D “almost doubtly” Question 14:According to the passage, writing _
A is imperfect, but less than speech B represents speech, but not perfectly C developed from imperfect speech D is represented perfectly by speech Question 15:In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of _
A people who learn the rudiments of speech B people who speak many languages C intelligent people who couldn't write D severely handicapped children Question 16:The word “acquire” in the passage mostly means _
A “help somebody learn something by giving information about it” B “gain something by our own efforts or ability”
C “become aware of something by hearing about it” D “develop a natural ability or quality so that it improves”
Question 17:Theword “disparage” in thepassage mostly means _ A “think that something is more important”
(11)D “suggest that something is not important or valuable” Question 18:In the author's judgment _
A writing has more advantages than speech
B speech is essential but writing has important benefits C speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does D writing is more real than speech
Question 19:According to the author, one mark of a civilized society is that if _ A affirms the primacy of speech over writing
