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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Around the world, Rio de Janeiro is famous for its beautiful beaches and Carnival celebration. But the
city is also known for its poor areas, known as favelas. For years, many favelas had high poverty and crime
rates. However, things are starting to change.
In the past, many favelas received very little government assistance. Neighborhood residents had to
build their own streets and homes. Gangs were also com guns. However, a new government plan is starting to
change this. The city is sending thousands of police officers into favelas with the goal of driving out the gangs.
In some favelas, the plan is already working. Crime is down, and unlike in the past, children arc playing in the
streets again. New apartment buildings are being built, and the city is providing more services. "In 20 years,"
says police officer Leonardo Nogueira, "the children who live here now ... will be different people."
Police influence is changing the favelas, but something else is, too. Today, more Brazilians are moving
into these neighborhoods because housing is expensive in other parts of Rio. "Favelas are a place for young
doctors without much money to get started and young architects to start working,” explains Simone Miranda, a
Rio tour guide. In the past, favela residents felt different - separate from the rest of Rio. “But now," says
Miranda, "they feel part of the society of Brazil.”
Life is improving in the favelas, but there are still challenges. In some areas, poverty rates are still high.
As students, families, and foreigners move into the favelas, property costs skyrocket. In some places, housing
has more than doubled in price. Despite this, favela residents are hopeful. If Rio can develop these favelas for
all residents – both poor and middle class - the city could become a model for other cities with similar
problems.
1. Which of the following best serves as the title for this passage?
A. A History of Rio's Favelas B. Crime on the Rise in Rio's Favelas

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a bias
against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption, crime,
poverty, and moral degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part, by a notional ideology that proclaimed
farming the greatest Occupation and rural living superior to urban living. This attitude prevailed even as the
number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the notional landscape. Gradually,
economic reality overcame ideology. Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and
better paying jobs in the city. But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and
suspicions with them. These new urban population, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great
problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city.
One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were usually
operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned. Reformers feared
that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services and
deliver them only to people who would afford them, some city and state governments responded by regulating
the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves. Proponents of these
reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and
guarantee a fair price.
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole.
Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should
develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing new, but the
rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration
for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some cities introduced plans to
completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future
growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or
commercial development.

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
  • 25. 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. 1. Why was a commission founded in 1959?

Around the world, Rio de Janeiro is famous for its beautiful beaches and Carnival celebration. But the city is also known for its poor areas, known as favelas. For years, many favelas had high poverty and crime rates. However, things are starting to change. In the past, many favelas received very little government assistance. Neighborhood residents had to build their own streets and homes. Gangs were also com guns. However, a new government plan is starting to change this. The city is sending thousands of police officers into favelas with the goal of driving out the gangs. In some favelas, the plan is already working. Crime is down, and unlike in the past, children arc playing in the streets again. New apartment buildings are being built, and the city is providing more services. "In 20 years," says police officer Leonardo Nogueira, "the children who live here now ... will be different people." Police influence is changing the favelas, but something else is, too. Today, more Brazilians are moving into these neighborhoods because housing is expensive in other parts of Rio. "Favelas are a place for young doctors without much money to get started and young architects to start working,” explains Simone Miranda, a Rio tour guide. In the past, favela residents felt different - separate from the rest of Rio. “But now," says Miranda, "they feel part of the society of Brazil.” Life is improving in the favelas, but there are still challenges. In some areas, poverty rates are still high. As students, families, and foreigners move into the favelas, property costs skyrocket. In some places, housing has more than doubled in price. Despite this, favela residents are hopeful. If Rio can develop these favelas for all residents – both poor and middle class - the city could become a model for other cities with similar problems. 1. Which of the following best serves as the title for this passage? A. A History of Rio's Favelas B. Crime on the Rise in Rio's Favelas C. How Rio's Favelas Are Changing D.

Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a bias against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption, crime, poverty, and moral degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part, by a notional ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest Occupation and rural living superior to urban living. This attitude prevailed even as the
  • 28. number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the notional landscape. Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology. Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city. But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicions with them. These new urban population, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city. One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were usually operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned. Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services and deliver them only to people who would afford them, some city and state governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves. Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price. While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial development. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. A comparison of urban and rural life in the early twentieth century B. The role of government in twentieth-century urban renewal C. Efforts to improve urban life in the early twentieth century D.
