Figures in the margin indicate full marks] Part-A: Reading Test (60 Marks) Read the given text carefully and answer the questions No 1-2: Global warming, known as the greenhouse effect, is one of the burning issues in the present world. Though it has received much attention in recent years, it is not a recent problem. Every year, almost 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by human activity. Global warming is in the earth’s upper atmosphere directly caused by increasing amount of carbon di-oxide, CFC gas, burning of fossil fuels, industrial waste, farming, and deforestation. Every year we see natural disasters that are extremely powerful. For example, In April of 2011, Japan was hard hit by an earthquake that took the lives of thousands of people. If we ignore the fact now the result will be catastrophic. Since the beginning of 20th century, the average surface temperature has increased by 1.1 degree Celsius. Just in the past 40 years, it has risen by a half of a degree. As of now the global sea level is rising three times faster than in the last hundred years when compared to the last three thousand years. This doesn’t sound like much right away but any change in temperature causes melting to the polar ice caps. If they continue to melt, the sea level will start to rise dramatically. Furthermore, it is a fact that the average rise in temperature globally is 1.1 degree. It is high time we solved this problem and created a congenial atmosphere for our future generation. 1.

Now at last we have it in our power to free mankind one and for all from the fear which is based on want. Now, for the first time man can reasonably begin to think that life can be something more than grim struggle for survival.
