(COMPREHENSIONS)
1. YEAR 2004 (GROUP I)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end.
Fortunately, however, the growth of industrialism has coincided in the west with the growth of
democracy. It is possible now, if the population of the world does not increase too fast, for one man's
labour to produce much more than is needed to provide a bare subsistence for himself and his family.
Given an intelligent democracy not misled by some dogmatic creed, this possibility will be used to raise
the standard of life. It has been so used to a limited extent, in Britain and America, and would have
been so used more effectively but for war. Its use in raising the standard of life has depended mainly
upon three things; democracy, trade unionism, and birth control. All three, of course, have incurred
hostility from the rich. If these three things can be extended to the rest of the world as it becomes
industrialized, and if the danger of great wars can be eliminated, poverty can be abolished throughout
the whole world, and excessive hours of labour will no longer be necessary anywhere. But without these
three things industrialism will create a regime like that in which the Pharaohs build the pyramids. In
particular, if the world population continues to increase at the present rate, the abolition if poverty and
excessive work will be totally impossible.
Questions:
(i) What connection does the writer show between industrialism and democracy?
(ii) How can the standard of life be raised?
(iii) How can poverty be abolished?
(iv) What will be the impact of increase in population at the present rate?
(v) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
(vi) Make a prcis of the passage.
2. YEAR 2004 (GROUP II)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end.
Real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as of the outer self. The beauty of a porcelain jar is a
matter of shape, of colour, of surface texture. The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of
honey or stinking slime - it makes no difference to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is live, and her
beauty is therefore not skin deep. The surface of the human vessel is affected by the nature of its
spiritual contents. I have seen women who, by the standards of a connoisseur of porcelain, were
ravishingly lovely. Their shape, their colour, their surface texture were perfect. And yet they were not
Page 2 of 19
beautiful. For the lovely vase was either empty or filled with some corruption. Spiritual emptiness or
ugliness shows through. And conversely, there is an interior light that can transfigure forms that the
pure aesthetician would regard as imperfect or downright ugly. There are numerous forms of
psychological ugliness. There is an ugliness of stupidity, for example, of unawareness (distressingly
common among pretty women). An ugliness also of greed, of lasciviousness, of avarice. All the deadly
sins, indeed, have their own peculiar negation of beauty. On the pretty faces of those especially who
are trying to have a continuous good time, one sees very often a kind of bored sullenness that ruins all
their charm.
Questions:
(i) What does real beauty signify?
(ii) Where does the beauty of a porcelain jar lie?
(iii) Differentiate between inner beauty and outer beauty.
(iv) Point out some forms of psychological ugliness.
(v) Make a precis of the passage.
3. YEAR 2005 (GROUP I)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end.
A person who is aware of his duties and rights in his society in a good citizens. He knows that he is a
member of a group with which he is associated by a thousand and one ties. He realizes that he should
live in harmony with other members of society. Man cannot live without a society. He cannot live alone.
He must live with his fellow human beings. But living in a society means cooperation with other
members of that society. When you live in a society, you have to live as others live. You have to accept
the conditions and traditions that a society prescribes for its members. These conditions and standards
of behavior are for the common good and welfare of the society and individuals. Society gives you
some rights and some duties. A good citizen does his best to do his duty to the society. He always
keeps in view the interests of his society and state. He lives a clean and honest life. He keeps away
from such activities that may harm the interests of his fellow citizens. A good citizen is aware of the fact
that his is indebted to his society in many ways. He knows that the labour and work of countless
persons have enriched his life. His life, to a very great extent, depends on others. He has received
much in material and spiritual benefits from others. It is only just and right that he should pay his
debts. How does a good citizen pay his debts to the society? By living a useful and fruitful life. He lives
not for himself alone. He lives for others. He pays his taxes. He takes keen interest in the affairs of his
state. He does not live in isolation. He is not selfish. He is tolerant, kind and virtuous.
Questions:
(i) Give a suitable title to passage.
(ii) Who is a good citizen?
(iii) Why is society formed?
(iv) What are the duties of a good citizen?
(v) Give other words for:(a) Harmony
(b) Prescribe
(c) Indebted
(d) Isolation
(vi) Make a precis of the passage in about 100 words.
4. YEAR 2005 (GROUP II)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end.
Ought women to have the same rights as men? A hundred year ago, the answer in every country in the
world would have been, "No". If you had asked, "Why not?" you would have been told, scornfully and
pityingly, that women were weaker and less clever than men, and had worse characters. Even now, in
the Twentieth Century, there are many countries where women are still treated almost like servants, or
even slaves.
It is certainly true that the average woman has weaker muscles that the average man. Thousands of
years ago, when men lived in caves and hunted animals for food, strength of body was the most
important thing; but now, in the Twentieth Century, brains are more important. Strength of body is still
needed for a few kinds of work, but the fact that such kinds of work are not well paid shows that the
Twentieth Century does not think that muscles are of very great importance.
What about women's brains? Of course, in countries where girls are not given so good an education as
boys they know less. But in countries where there is the same education for both, it has been clearly
shown that there is no difference at all between the brain of the average woman and that of the
average man. There have been women judges in Turkey, women ambassadors in America, women
ministers in the British government and women University professors in many countries. And among
the greatest and strongest rulers of England were Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria.
But women can do one thing that men cannot: they can produce children. Because they, and not men,
do this, they usually love their children more, and are better able to look after them, since they are
more patient and understanding with small children. For this reason, many women are happier if they
stay at home and look after their house and family than if they go out and do the same work as men
do. It is their own choice, and not the result of being less clever than men.
Page 3 of 19
Questions:
(i) Why would you have been told a hundred years ago that women ought not to have the same rights
as men?(ii) Why was strength of body important thousands of years ago?(iii) How can we see that it is
no longer so important?(iv) What work does the writer mention that women have done as well as men?
(v) What is particular about women that men can't do?(vi) Make a precis of the passage in not more
than 120 words.
5. YEAR 2006 (GROUP I)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end.
When the time for a general election approaches, candidates who wish to be elected travel around with
loudspeakers and hold meetings.
They hold meetings before the elections because they wish to appeal the electorate. They wish to
present to the public what they consider to be suitable programme for legislation when and if they are
elected, and they seek to show why their programme should be chosen in preference to that their
opponents. The candidates are in this way seeking to influence public opinion.
Holding a meeting is probably the simplest form in influencing public opinion, but it is still a very
important method. The speaker faces his audience, which is then able to gauge his honesty and
sincerity. In these days of political parties, it is more the political party that wields the greater influence,
rather than the individual speaker and what he has to say. Nevertheless if, as a speaker, he is
unimpressive he may do a lot to reduce his party's chances in the election.
But public meetings are not the only means of influencing public opinion. Every time people assemble
in a group and discuss some matters, they are employing a method of forming and persuading opinion.
In a democracy it is important that there should always be this attempt to get some expression of
opinion even among the humblest people. When people meet and formulate opinion they are really
helping to govern themselves. So this method of assessing and gauging public opinion and thereby
arriving at an agreement is of the greatest importance.
Questions:
(i) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
(ii) What is the importance of holding public meetings?
(iii) What is meant by "electorate"?
(iv) Why does an unimpressive speaker reduce his party's chances?
(v) What are the means of influencing public opinion?
(vi) Make a precis of the passage in about 1/3 of the whole.
6. YEAR 2006 (GROUP II)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end in your own words.
Great progress has been made by America in the field of mechanization. It is spending lavishly on
labour-saving machines. Efficient organization of highly mechanized system has resulted in maximum
productivity in America. With mass production, the amenities of life are available to almost every
citizen. On the contrary Europe subordinates the use of machines to human happiness and welfare. It
encourages man's reliance on his own faculties and realizes the dangers inherent in the American
scheme. However great the advantages of mechanization, it crushes the creative faculty of man and
makes a machine out of him. His individual liberty and personality suffer on irretrievable loss. In his
moments of leisure the worker finds it difficult to turn his hands to creative work, because the machinemade goods do not inspire him in the direction of refinement. These goods also lose their fascination
because mass production has given a setback to the individuality of the articles produced. The
Europeans, therefore, contend that it is better to sacrifice a few material comforts than crush the
aesthetic and spiritual urge in the individual which large-scale mechanization is doing in America.
Questions:
(i) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
(ii) What is the result of progress in the field of mechanization in America?
(iii) How has it affected the citizens?
(iv) What is the case in Europe?
(v) Why do Europeans sacrifice a few material comforts?
(vi) Make a summary of the passage.
7. YEAR 2007 (GROUP I)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end. The answers must
be in your own words.
Pakistanis are sometimes treated as suspects as they enter Saudi Arabia. They procedures for search
and investigation are aggressive, and naturally, time-consuming may be a humiliating experience for a
self-respecting Pakistani. Lately, another trend is developing which can hurt as still more as injury is
being added to insult. Quite a few Saudis are now unwilling to employ Pakistanis as they used to do in
the Seventies. One main reason cited is the incidence of drug-trafficking (business) through expatriate
Page 4 of 19
Pakistanis who, at times, collaborate with drug-traffickers. Thus, the channel of employment of our
labour in Saudi Arabia is drying up, partly owing to our failing as a people.
Pakistan is a victim as drugs produced in Afghanistan pass through our territory. It cannot be denied
that drugs are produced in Pakistan, but the Government is trying to curtail their production. However,
with an estimated indigenous (native) population of just over three million addicts the local production
of drugs does not appear enough to meet the home demand. Thus, having started as a producer of
heroine in 1979, thanks to the transfer of such technology by a western adventurer, it is now the major
consumer. However, in the western countries, the treatment meted out to Pakistani nationals is
humiliating.
Questions:
(i) Why is the treatment humiliating for Pakistanis on entering Saudi Arabia?
(ii) What is the main reason for the reduction of employment opportunities in Saudi Arabia?
(iii) How much is Pakistan responsible for drug-trafficking?
(iv) Who is technologically responsible for the production of heroin?
(v) Suggest a suitable title to the passage.
(vi) Make a precis of the above passage.
8. YEAR 2007 (GROUP II)
Read the following passage and answer the questions at the end. The answers must be in
your own words.
One of the main objectives of Imam Khomeini's foreign and domestic policy was the propagation of the
humanitarian principles of Islam. The Islamic Republic of Iran took a bold stand on the basis of this
objective. Iran explained this stand at every international forum. The divine commands that have
shaped the Iranian policies are perhaps common to every major religion.
The revered Imam tried to associate the masses in his own and other Muslim countries with his
objective. He addressed them directly, had a silent dialogue of the heart with them even when he could
not meet them personally. The people in almost all the Muslim countries, and even in others whether
they were inhabited by Muslims or followers of other faiths, listened to his speeches and talks
attentively and devotedly. Thus, instead of appealing to the unpopular and reactionary governments of
the day, he established durable and lasting contacts with the common people and their true
representatives.
The great leader demanded the common people's presence, through their representatives, at important
meetings and participation in his decision-making. In this way he wanted to ensure the achievement of
the aims of the Islamic Revolution. This policy was instantly successful in winning the support of the
Muslim masses even in the countries that were being ruled by the so called representatives.
Questions:
(i) Explain the main objective of Imam Khomeini.
(ii) What was his mode of achievement towards his goal?
(iii) How can you call The Iranian Revolution a "people's revolution"?
(iv) Comment on the success of The Iranian Revolution.
(v) Suggest a suitable title to the passage.
(vi) Make a precis of the above passage.
9. YEAR 2008 (GROUP I)
Read the following passage and answer the questions at the end. The answers must be in
your own words.
It is common in our day, as it has been in many other periods of the world's history to suppose that
those among us who are wise have seen through all the enthusiasms of earlier times and have become
aware that there is nothing left to live for. The men who hold this view are genuinely unhappy but they
are proud of their unhappiness which they attribute to the nature of the universe and consider to the
only rational attitude for an enlightened man. Their pride on their unhappiness makes people
suspicious of its genuineness: they think that man who enjoys being miserable is not miserable. This
view is too simple; undoubtedly there is some slight compensation in the feeling of superiority and
insight which these sufferers have, but it is not sufficient to make up for the loss of simple pleasure. I do
not myself think that there is any superiority rationality in being unhappy. The wise man will be as
happy as circumstances permit and if he finds the contemplation of the universe painful beyond a
point, he will contemplate something instead. I am persuaded that those who quite sincerely attribute
their sorrows to their views about the universe are putting the cart before the horse: the truth is that
they are unhappy for some reasons of which they are not aware.
Questions:
(i) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
(ii) What is common with the wise today to suppose?
(iii) What is the result of pride on unhappiness?

13. YEAR 2010 (GROUP I)
Recently the mass media, formerly subservient to the medical profession, have become increasingly
restive and occasionally hostile. In Germany, in particular the newspaper and television have given a
great deal of time and space to the complaints against the medical profession. In Britain on BBC radio
and television, the medical practices have come under sharp and aggressive criticism. Is this
antagonism to the profession justified? And if so, why? I have tried to answer that question by looking
at the way it deals with some of the diseases of our civilization, including the most lethal, heart-attacks
and cancer. If what emerges is an indictment of the profession, then I would rebut the charge that I am
anti-doctor. What is required in the relationship between the doctor and the patient? The trust and
unshakable trust, I would say. Montaigne said; "I honour physicians not for their services but for
themselves". That goes for me too.
Questions:
(i) What do you understand by the mass media?
(ii) What is the writer's stance towards the medical profession?
(iii) What is a lethal disease? Explain.
(iv) Is there a radical change in the presentation of the art of healing by the mass media?
(v) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
(vi) Make a precis of the passage.
14. YEAR 2010 (GROUP II)
Moral self-control, and external prohibition of harmful acts, are not adequate methods of dealing with
our anarchic instincts. The reason they are inadequate is that these instincts are capable of many
disguises as the Devil in medieval legend, and some of these disguises deceive even the elect. The only
adequate method is to discover what are the needs of our instinctive nature, and then to search for the
least harmful way of satisfying them. Since spontaneity is what is most thwarted by machine, the only
thing that can be provided is opportunity, the use made of opportunity must be left to the initiative of
the individual. No doubt, considerable expense would be involved but it would not be comparable to the
expense of war. Understanding of human nature must be the basis of any real improvement in human
life. Science has done wonders in mastering the laws of the physical world, but our own nature is much
less understood, as yet than the nature of stars and electrons. When science learns to understand
human nature, it will be able to bring happiness into our lives which machines and the physical science
have failed to create.
Questions:
(i) Why are moral self-control, and external prohibition inadequate to deal with our anarchic instincts?
(ii) What is the adequate method of anarchic instincts?
(iii) What should be the basis of any real improvement in human life?
(iv) How can science help humanity to achieve happiness?
(v) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
(vi) Make a precis of the passage.
15. YEAR 2011 (GROUP I)
Poverty is almost as widely shared as Islam in Afghanistan. Except for a small number of wealthy
traders, nomadic tribal leaders, and the Royal family and its retainers, few Afghans have lived far from
the basic level of subsistence. Throughout the century their diet consists of coarse bread, tea, and dairy
products, supplemented by fruits and vegetables in season and an occasional serving of mutton or
chicken. Though the food is never plentiful, the Afghan diet during good crop years appears to be
sufficient to support a vigorous population, but the precariousness of the food supply is obvious from
the drastic and continuing erosion of the soil and the creeping desertization of its landscape. The
poverty of most Afghan farmers and herders has imposed an elemental quality on their culture. Values
are oriented toward social survival. Loyalty to the primary group ultimately takes precedence over selfassertion, despite the great importance given to personal independence. The conflict between these
competing values is a major feature of Afghan life, but in-group loyalty has necessarily played the
Page 7 of 19
paramount role in the shaping of the attitudes toward fellow Afghans and outsiders.
Questions:
(i) What is the economic condition of the people of Afghanistan?
(ii) What does the diet of Afghan people consist of?
(iii) Why is the food supply becoming so precarious?
(iv) What is the major feature of Afghan life?
(v) Make a suitable title of the passage.
(vi) Make a precis of the above passage.

The rich nations have made adjustments after the 1973 oil crisis, but the poor nations, who cannot
afford the continue using oil, have to look for alternatives in order to keep up the pace of their
development. The sun, therefore, offers a free supply of thermo-dynamically high-quality fuel -sunshine -- to countries that are located in the earth's solar belt (35N, 35S of the Equator), where the
sun comes out every day, keeping its radiant energy undiminished. What, however, stand in the way,
are a series of institutional and economic barriers which must be overcome if solar energy is to have an
impact on the energy scene. The solar energy plan requires new ways of thinking. It calls for a shift
from centralized energy supply systems to on-site decentralized distribution of energy. The term 'onsite' derives from the limited areas within which the energy produced by a system is consumed. It rests
its emphasis on the social benefits rather than the cost benefits of a system.
Questions:
(i) What is the effect of 1973 oil crisis on poor nations?(ii) What are the obstacles in the way of
acquiring solar energy?(iii) What system of distribution does the author recommend for solar energy?
(iv) What does the term "on-site" mean?(v) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.(vi) Make a precis of
the above passage.

The grand strategy for his campaign against Muslim backwardness envisaged two main activities,
namely; a weekly periodical to propagate progressive social and religious ideas among the intelligentsia
and an institution of higher learning to impart modern education to the new generation. The two
projects in his mind were closely interlinked; for without an enlightened public opinion adequate
support for the educational institution could not be ensured and, obversely, without modern education
the new generation would never outgrow its elders' prejudices and misconceptions. Syed Ahmad
addressed himself to the periodical first. He had tentatively proposed it in a letter, dated 22 April 1870,
to Mehdi Ali as the organ of an association which he wanted organized before his return to India for "the
uplift and reform of the Muslim", but with which his connection was not to be divulged. He had a block
prepared in England for the title page of the periodical, which was to be called the Tahzib-ul-Akhlaq in
Urdu and the Mohammedan Social Reformer in English.
Questions:
(i) What was the strategy against Muslim backwardness?
