Std. : XII ENGLISH Time : 3 Hr.
1. This question paper consists of three sections
2.All questions are compulsory
3. There are 5 printed pages
4. All questions of a particular section must be attempted in the correct order.
SECTION A
(READING – 30 Marks)
Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below : (20)
1. ``You swing like a girl.’’ Rocky Balboa, cinema’s favourite underdog-turned-reluctant boxing coach,
uses banter and prejudice to spur his ward Adonis. It works. Adonis goes on to do great , cathartic
things, but one wonders what our Indian girl boxers would make of the casual sexism employed in the
movie `Creed’, the millennial sequel to the celebrated Rocky series. Do they duck, parry, simply take it
on their chin? Or do they swing back? Like a girl?
2. Ask Mary Kom. She does a pretty good job of it. At the time of writing, she had just won her sixth
world title bout at the Women’s World Championship in the Capital. The diminutive mother of three has
something of a cult following in women’s boxing. Skye Nicholson, seen as a potential superstar in an
Australia currently in search of sporting heroes, looks up to the Indian legend for inspiration. In Wales,
Lauren Price turned her back on football to try and do a Mary Kom`Ì admire Mary Kom,”she says
simply.
3. Back home, she has inspired a new generation who, not content with simply gazing at her in awe, are
determined to emulate her. Three World Championship first-timers—Simranjeet Kaur, Sonia Chahal
and Lovlina Borgohain—have won the host nation two bronzes and one silver.
4. Simranjeet Kaur had not even discovered herself before the Delhi event. The Punjab girl has been
honing her skills under Blas Inglesias Fernandes- the avuncular Cuban coach who has been largely
responsible for the rise of Indian men’s boxing in the past decade and a half, and the first foreign coach
to be awarded the prestigious Dronacharya award in 2012. Simranjeet is a Blas student at the Punjab
Institute of Sports (PIS) in Mohali. ``Fernandes Sir has really helped my technique, strength and the
accuracy of my punches. Training under him is such an education,” gushes the boxer.
5. Fernandes too talks fondly about his ward.``Simranjeet doesn’t come from a rich family and just wants
to make her family proud through boxing. She hardly deviates from her routine, going straight from
room to training and then back to room again,”Fernandes tells the paper from Mohali.
6. The 23-year old from Chakar village in Ludhiana district took up boxing on a whim because elder sister
Amandeep, (national- level medallist) and brothers Kamalpreet and Arshdeep are also boxers. But a
family tragedy, when her father passed away suddenly this July, saw their mother Rajpal pushing her
youngest daughter into serious boxing. ``Both my brothers and sister are working and trying to support
my family since my father’s death. I want to win a medal for my late father, who always supported me,”
says Simranjeet, who was included in the squad at the insistence of women’s coach
RaffaeleBergamasco, who saw an early spark in her.
7. Then there is the tall, lanky welterweight Lovlina from Assam’s Golaghat district, 300 km from
Guwahati. Boxing’s gain has been Muay Thai’s loss. Her sisters, twins Licha and Lima still compete in
the Thai form of boxing, but Sports Authority of India (SAI) coach PardumBoro picked out Lovlina for
boxing glory. She responded with a gold at the Indian Open in January this year. Not surprisingly, she
looks up to Mary Kom for inspiration. ``Mary didi has been an inspiration for all of us youngsters. Her
tips really helped me in improving my game. Before the World Champioshipsalso,she told me a few
things which have been very helpful,” says the 21-year old.
8. Mary Kom dismisses this with a loud, infectious laugh. `Ìt feels great to know that I am an inspiration
for the three girls,”she says. `Àll three worked really very hard to prepare for the World
Championships. The way they have performed on their debut is really commendable.”
9. For all the quiet reverence for the master, the competitive spirit shows up. Lovlina has an interesting
side story to share from their training sessions. To build stamina, the boxers had to run 3000m races on
the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium track once a week. The supremely fit Mary Kom always led the way. The
21-year old took it as a personal challenge, managed to beat Mary with a sub-13-minute run days before
the Championship began.
10. The third of the trio, featherweight Sonia comes from India’s boxing factory, Bhiwani. She has Olympic
medallists like Vijender Singh and two-time World Championships bronze medallist Kavita Chahal to
look up to. `Èver since I saw the reception that Kavitadidi got on her return to the village in 2011( after
winning Asian Championship bronze0, I have wanted to become a boxer,” says the 21-year old whose
father is a small-time farmer while her mother sells milk door-to-door in Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri
district. ``there was so much craziness for boxing in our village, my parents never had any hesitation in
allowing me to take up the sport,” says the girl from Nimri village in Haryana. A decision that the
country can be thankful for as the rookie has already won a silver at her first-ever Women’s World
Champioship.
11. It’s a feat that bodes well for Indian boxing that always worried what would happen once Mary Kom
exited the scene. But,as always, the master has the final word.`` I am still fighting with the same passion
that I did many years ago. I believe that the three girls will carry this same passion forward. Lots to
achieve in the future, but yes, this has been a great beginning for them,” says Mary.

Q. 2. Read the passage and answer the questions given below : (10)
1. Homeopathy is a system of natural health care that has been in worldwide use for over 200 years.
Homeopathy treats each person as a unique individual with the aim of stimulating their own healing ability. A
homeopath selects the most appropriate medicine based on the individual’s specific symptoms and personal
level of health.
2. It is recognized by the World Health Organisation as the second largest therapeutic system in use in the
world. While it is most popular in India and South America, over thirty million people in Europe, and millions
of others around the world, also benefit from its use.
3. The name homeopathy, coined by its originator, Samuel Hahnemann, is derived from the Greek word for
`similar suffering’ referring to the `like cures like’ principle of healing. Hahnemann was born in Germany two
hundred and fifty years ago. At this time the old world-view was being renovated and traditional beliefs, many
flimsily based upon superstition, were being increasingly subjected to the rigour of experimental scrutiny and
assessment. The practice of homeopathy is based upon science while its application is an art.
4. Homeopathy is founded on two principles that have occurred regularly throughout the history of medicine,
both in eastern and western worlds. The first principle of `like cures like’ can be looked at in several ways. One
way is to assume that the body knows what it is doing and that symptoms are the body’s way of taking action to
overcome illness. This healing response is automatic in living organisms; we term it the vital response. The
similar medicine acts as a stimulus to the natural vital response plus the medicine, giving it the information it
needs to complete its healing work. Since the initial action of the vital response plusthe medicine is to increase
the strength of the symptoms, this is our first indication of internal healing taking place, of diseases being cured
from within- pushed outwards along the established routes of past and present symptoms.
5. Before the medicines are decided upon, their curative powers are discovered by testing them out on healthy
human subjects and carefully noting emotional, mental and physical changes. This is termed as `proving’. This
information constitutes the basis for` like cures like’, for a medicine’s unique symptom picture must match up
with the individual’s unique expression of their disease, that is, the present and persisting symptoms of the
disease.
6. The second principle, that only `the minimum dose’ should be employed is based upon the understanding that
the stimulus of the medicine works from within the vitality and is not imposed from the outside. Only enough is
administered to initiate the healing process, which then carries on, driven by its own internal healing mission.
Homeopathic medicines given in minimum doses, while they do stimulate the body’s vital response, do not
produce the gross side-effects that are so often the pit-fall of conventional treatment.
7. Homeopathic treatment works with your body’s own healing powers to bring about health and well- being.
You are treated as an individual, not as a collection of disease labels. Homeopathy treats all your symptoms at
all levels of your being- spiritual, emotional, mental and physical and finds the `like cures like’ match for them.
Homeopathically prepared remedies, providing the minimum dose, are gentle, subtle and powerful. They are
non-addictive, and not tested on animals.

title for it.(5)
