Read the following passage and answer the following questions (91 on it.
There is an enemy beneath our feet -an enemy the more deadly for his complete impartiality. He recognises no national boundaries, no political parties. Everyone in the world is threatened by him. The enemy is the Earth itself. When an earthquake strikes, the world trembles. The power of a quake is greater than anything man himself can produce. But today scientists are directing a great deal of their effort into finding some way out of combating earthquakes, and it is possible that at some time in the near future mankind will have discovered a means of protecting itself.
An earthquake strikes without warning. When it does, its power is .immense. If it strikes a modern city, the damage it causes is as great as if it has struck a primitive village. Gas mains burst, explosions are caused and fires are started. Underground railways are wrecked.
Whole buildings collapse, bridges fall, dams burst. Gaping crevices appear in busy
streets. If the quake strikes at sea, huge tidal waves sweep inland. If it strikes in the
r
mountain regions, avalanches roar down into the valley.
91. Who is the great enemy mentioned in the above passage?
Sea Mountain Waves Earthquake
92. What happens when the earthquake strikes?
The world trembles Birds fly in the sky
Animals run away The sky disappears
93. According to the writer, the enemy is impartial because he recognizes
no national boundaries and political parties
no caste and creed
no difference between men and women
no difference between the poor and the rich
94. What happens when the earthquake strikes in mountain regions?
Smoke spreads everywhere
Rivers begin to flow
Avalanches fall down into the valley
Clouds gather around the mountain
95. Huge tidal waves sweep inland. Find out the noun form of the underlined urd from the following options.

An artificial foot that recycles energy otherwise wasted in between steps could make it easier for amputees to walk, its developers say.
"For amputees, what they experience when they are trying to walk normally is what I would experience if I were carrying an extra 30 pounds (13 said Art Kuo, Professor in the University of Michigan, Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
Compared with the conventional prosthetic feet, the new device significantly cuts the energy spent per step.
A paper about the device is published in a journal. The foot was created by Kuo and Steve Collins, who were University of Michigan graduate students. The human walking gait naturally wastes energy as each foot collides with the ground in between steps.
A typical prosthesis does not reproduce the force a living ankle exerts to push off the ground. As a result, test subjects spent 23% more energy walking with a conventional prosthetic foot, compared with walking naturally. To test how stepping with their device compared with normal walking, the engineers conducted their experiments with non-amputees wearing a rigid boot and prosthetic simulator.
In their energy-recycling foot, the engineers put the wasted walking energy to work, enhancing the power of ankle push-off. The foot naturally captures the dissipated energy. A microcontroller tells the foot to return the energy to the system at precisely the right time.
Based on the metabolic rate measurements, the test subjects spent 14 per cent more energy walking in energy-recycling artificial foot than they did walking naturally. That's a significant decrease from the 23 per cent more energy they used in the conventional prosthetic foot, Kuo says.
He also explained how this invention differs from current technologies. "All prosthetic feet store and return energy, but they don't give you a choice about when and how. This is the first device to release the energy in the right way to supplement push-off, and to do so without an external power source."
The energy-recycling foot uses less than one watt of electricity through a small portable battery. "With further progress, robotic limbs may yet beat their biological forerunners," Collins added.
96. Name the creators of the new device. Choose the correct option.

Read the following passage and answer the following questions (91 on it.
There is an enemy beneath our feet -an enemy the more deadly for his complete impartiality. He recognises no national boundaries, no political parties. Everyone in the world is threatened by him. The enemy is the Earth itself. When an earthquake strikes, the world trembles. The power of a quake is greater than anything man himself can produce. But today scientists are directing a great deal of their effort into finding some way out of combating earthquakes, and it is possible that at some time in the near future mankind will have discovered a means of protecting itself.
An earthquake strikes without warning. When it does, its power is .immense. If it strikes a modern city, the damage it causes is as great as if it has struck a primitive village. Gas mains burst, explosions are caused and fires are started. Underground railways are wrecked.
Whole buildings collapse, bridges fall, dams burst. Gaping crevices appear in busy
streets. If the quake strikes at sea, huge tidal waves sweep inland. If it strikes in the
r
mountain regions, avalanches roar down into the valley.
91. Who is the great enemy mentioned in the above passage?
Sea Mountain Waves Earthquake
92. What happens when the earthquake strikes?
The world trembles Birds fly in the sky
Animals run away The sky disappears
93. According to the writer, the enemy is impartial because he recognizes
no national boundaries and political parties
no caste and creed
no difference between men and women
no difference between the poor and the rich
94. What happens when the earthquake strikes in mountain regions?
Smoke spreads everywhere
Rivers begin to flow
Avalanches fall down into the valley
Clouds gather around the mountain
95. Huge tidal waves sweep inland. Find out the noun form of the underlined urd from the following options.

An artificial foot that recycles energy otherwise wasted in between steps could make it easier for amputees to walk, its developers say.
"For amputees, what they experience when they are trying to walk normally is what I would experience if I were carrying an extra 30 pounds (13 said Art Kuo, Professor in the University of Michigan, Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
Compared with the conventional prosthetic feet, the new device significantly cuts the energy spent per step.
A paper about the device is published in a journal. The foot was created by Kuo and Steve Collins, who were University of Michigan graduate students. The human walking gait naturally wastes energy as each foot collides with the ground in between steps.
A typical prosthesis does not reproduce the force a living ankle exerts to push off the ground. As a result, test subjects spent 23% more energy walking with a conventional prosthetic foot, compared with walking naturally. To test how stepping with their device compared with normal walking, the engineers conducted their experiments with non-amputees wearing a rigid boot and prosthetic simulator.
In their energy-recycling foot, the engineers put the wasted walking energy to work, enhancing the power of ankle push-off. The foot naturally captures the dissipated energy. A microcontroller tells the foot to return the energy to the system at precisely the right time.
Based on the metabolic rate measurements, the test subjects spent 14 per cent more energy walking in energy-recycling artificial foot than they did walking naturally. That's a significant decrease from the 23 per cent more energy they used in the conventional prosthetic foot, Kuo says.
He also explained how this invention differs from current technologies. "All prosthetic feet store and return energy, but they don't give you a choice about when and how. This is the first device to release the energy in the right way to supplement push-off, and to do so without an external power source."
The energy-recycling foot uses less than one watt of electricity through a small portable battery. "With further progress, robotic limbs may yet beat their biological forerunners," Collins added.
