Kashmir , a 222,236 sq km region in the northwestern Indian subcontinent , is surrounded by China in the northeast,
the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab in the south, by Pakistan in the west and by Afghanistan in the
northwest. The region has been dubbed “disputed territory” between India and Pakistan since the partition of India in
1947. The southern and southeastern part of the region make up the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir , while the
northern and western parts are controlled by Pakistan. A border called the line of control (agreed to in 1972) divides
the two parts. The eastern area of Kashmir , comprising the northeastern part of the region (Aksai Chin) came under the
control of China in 1962. The predominant religion in the Jammu area is Hinduism in the east and Islam in the West.

A3 Read the following passage carefully (8)
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the
other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They need this blood to live and produce eggs. When a female
mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a
deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry diseases from one person to another very
easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried diseases from one person to another very easily. Two of the most
deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever. More than 700 million people become sick from
this disease every year. At least 2 million of these people die from these diseases.
Many scientist are working on safer and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far, there is no sure way to protect
everyone in the world from there bites. Mosquitoes nets can be placed over beds to protect people against being
bitten. These nets help people stay safe at night, but they do not kill any mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural
enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to
cut down the amount of mosquitoes in that area.

1. What do you know about the eating habits of male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes?
2. Why do female mosquitoes need animal’s blood?
3. Which mosquitoes are harmless to humans ? Which mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting disease to
humans ?
