ENGLISH
A. The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 On April 10, 1912, the Titanic, largest ship afloat, left Southampton, England on her maiden voyage to New York City. The White Star Line had spared no expense in assuring her luxury. A legend even before she sailed, her passengers were a mixture of the world’s wealthiest basking in the elegance of first class accommodations and immigrants packed into steerage.
She was touted as the safest ship ever built, so safe that she carried only 20 lifeboats – enough to provide accommodation for only half her 2,200 passengers and crew. This discrepancy rested on the belief that since the ship’s construction made her “unsinkable”, her lifeboats were necessary only to rescue survivors of other sinking ships. Additionally, lifeboats took up valuable deck space. Four days into her journey, at 11:40P.M. on the night of April 14, she struck an iceberg. Her fireman compared the sound of the impact to “tearing of calico*, nothing more.” However, the collision was fatal and the icy water soon poured through the ship.
6
It became obvious that many would not find safety in a lifeboat. Each passenger was issued a life jacket but life expectancy would be short when exposed to water four degrees below freezing. As the forward portion of the ship sank deeper, passengers scrambled to the stern. John Thayer witnessed the sinking from a lifeboat. “We could see groups of almost fifteen hundred people still aboard, clinging in clusters or bunches, like swarming bees; only to fall in masses, pairs or singly, as the great after part of the ship, two hundred and fifty feet of it, rose into the sky, till it reached a sixty-five or seventy-degree angle.” The great ship slowly slid beneath the water two hours and forty minutes after collision.
The next morning, the liner Carpathia rescued 705 survivors. One thousand five hundred and twenty-two passengers and crew were lost. Subsequent inquiries attributed the high loss in life to an insufficient number of lifeboats and inadequate training in their use. *calico = type of cloth
Answer the following questions:
1. From the second paragraph, give two reasons why the Titanic only carried 20
lifeboats.

B. In this extract from Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens, Nicholas has come to teach at Dotheboys Hall. Here the headmaster, Mr Squeers, shows him
the schoolroom and the pupils for the first time.
By degrees, the place resolved itself into a bare and dirty room with a couple of
windows whereof a tenth part might be of glass, the remainder being stopped up with old copy-books and paper. There were a couple of long old rickety desks, cut and
notched and inked and damaged, in every possible way; two or three rooms, a detached desk for Squeers and another for his assistant. The ceiling was supported
like that of a barn, by cross beams and rafters, and the walls were so stained and discoloured, that it was impossible to tell whether they had ever been touched with
paint or whitewash.
But the pupils – the young nobleman! The last faint traces of hope, the remotest glimmering of any good to be derived in this den, faded from the mind of Nicholas as
he looked in dismay around! Pale and haggard faces, lank and bony figures, children with the countenances of old men, deformities with irons upon their limbs, boys of
stunted growth, and others whose long meager legs would hardly bear their stooping bodies, all crowded on the view together; there were the bleared eye, the hare lip,
the crooked foot, and every other ugliness or distortion that told of un-natural aversion conceived by parents for their offspring, or of young lives which, from the earliest dawn of infancy, had been one horrible endurance of cruelty and neglect.
There were little faces which should have been handsome, darkened with scowl of sullen suffering; there was childhood with the light of its eye quenched, its beauty
gone and its helplessness alone remaining.
Answer the following questions:
1. What impression do you get of the schoolroom from the first paragraph?

C. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: My family was not rich. We just managed to make both ends meet. We economized on everything. We bought food on subsidized rates and our meals had no variety. My sisters made their dresses at home and I used to go through terrible scenes on account of lost buttons and torn trousers. Uncle Jules, my father’s brother, was the only hope of the family. I had heard about him since childhood, so I knew details of his life up to the day of his departure for America. Uncle Jules had visibly diminished my father’s share of inheritance after he had swallowed his own. Once, he wrote to us saying that he would soon make up for the damage done by him after two years, another letter arrived
Informing us that he was undertaking a long sea voyage on account of his business and he hoped to see us once he would return. Uncle Jules, who up to that time had not been worth his salt, suddenly became a good man. For ten years, nothing was heard from him; but as time went on, my father’s hope grew.
His letter became the gospel of the family. It was read on the slightest pretext and it was shown to everybody. Thousands of schemes were planned on the strength of his expected return. One day, following the wedding of one of my sisters, all of us took a trip to America. At a distance on the deck, an old ragged sailor was opening oysters with his knife and passing them to some gentlemen. He was dirty, wrinkled, and didn’t lift his eyes from his
9
work. Both my sisters and my brother – in – law, gathered around the old man to buy some oysters. My father suddenly appeared to be worried and said in a low voice, “the man opening the oysters looks like Jules.”
My father enquired from the captain, who confirmed that it was indeed Jules, my uncle Jules. My father murmured, “What a catastrophe!” My parents were visibly upset, and it was decided that in my brother – in – law’s presence none of us would acknowledge uncle Jules as our family member. It would be such a shame if we did. I was given five Francs to pay for the oysters my sisters had bought. As Jules returned the change, I gave him a generous tip, carefully observing him all the time. As we approached the harbor, a violent desire seized me to see my legendary uncle who had fallen from grace. I wanted to say something consoling to him, something tender but by then no one was eating any more oysters and he had disappeared.
