PART C: READING
I. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
following questions.
A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However,
it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and
the state of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government
decided to create a new capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible
locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous
architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report
suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both
locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as
transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally,
the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen, and on the 24th February 1960 the new capital was given the
name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three
different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and
would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional
centre with industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to
provide space for education, recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free
atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings,
and well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example of good urban

planning.

The greenhouse effect is always reported as being a negative consequence of current human
lifestyle practices. However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences
of the greenhouse effect.
A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for
agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. However, they do not

such climatic changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits.

world. For example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss
of valuable and populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have
emitted only a tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases.
The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where
will these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously
worsen the already critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food
