It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural

to urban areas continues

How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities

are governed The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before

Urbanization is by no means bad by itself It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly Further, the proximity and diversity of

people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas

But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating

unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease

The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance

(Adapted from zurich.com)

Question 33: The word “that" in paragraph 4 refers to

Trang 7

A unsanitary conditions B urban expansion

Question 34: According to paragraph 3, what is one of the advantages of urbanization?

A It makes water supply system both efficient and effective

B It minimizes risks for economic, cultural and societal development

C People may come up with new ideas for innovation

Question 35: Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?

A Rapidly increasing population density can help solve poverty

B 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050

C Risks cannot be addressed effectively no matter how well cities are governed

D Urbanization brings important benefits for development as well

Question 36: The word "addressed" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _

A aimed at B agreed on C dealt with D added to

Question 37: What can be inferred from the passage?

A Poverty may be a foregone conclusion of unplanned urbanization

B The increasing number of people in cities can create more employment

During times of crisis, people find themselves faced with lifestyle changes One of the earliest and most noticeable changes seen during the Covid-19 lockdown was how we consume media-and especially how we read

People tend to find comfort in certain books, and reading habits and genre preferences can change during periods of stress This helps to explain why much genre fiction has roots in times of significant social, political or economic upheaval Gothic literature is, in part, a British Protestant response to the French Revolution

Trang 8

Respondents generally reported that they were reading more than usual This was largely due to

having more free time (due to being furloughed, or not having a commute or the usual social obligation

or leisure activities) This increased reading volume was complicated for those with caring responsibilities Many people with children reported that their reading time had increased generally because of their shared reading with children, but had less time than normal for personal reading Reading frequency was further complicated by a quality vs quantity snag People spent more time reading and

seeking escape, but an inability to concentrate meant they made less progress than usual In short, people

spent more time reading but the volume they read was less

Unsurprisingly, lockdown also made re-reading a physical necessity for some Some respondents noted how they were unable to visit the library or browse at the bookshop for new books Others reported that they simply wished to save money On the other hand, the participants who reported re- reading less than normal during the lockdown period wanted to use their newfound time to seek out new topics and genres

(Adapted from theconversation.com)

Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel There are many problems with fossil fuel One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage Another problem is that we are running out of it That is why we need new sources

of energy A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power Thirty-one countries use nuclear power Many ships also use it

Nuclear power has some advantages First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power Nuclear power does not make the air dirty Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil from other countries

However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power For example, nuclear accidents are very serious In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick

and died In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan Japan is still trying to clean up the

nuclear waste from the accident

Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries They say that it is not safe A lot of people want

their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity There have been protests against nuclear energy

in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries

Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy We just don't have enough fossil fuel However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future

31 Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel?

A It can pollute the air B We don't use much of it

C Its sources are limited D Mining fossil fuel can bring harm to the environment

32 All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that _

A they have been very serious B their effects can last many years

Trang 19

C it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident

D there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011

33 The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _

34 What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A countries B protesters C officials D supporters

35 Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most?

A Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy

B We should consider seriously the nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages

C We can continue using nuclear energy until there is an accident

D Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries and governments should follow their people

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

Henrietta Lake talks to a remarkable 14-year-old entrepreneur who is certainly going places Between studying for nine GCSEs, including business studies, 14-year-old Dominic McVey has set up his own company, Scooters UK The business, which imports motorized scooters and skateboards from the United States, has already made a profit of over £5,000 on sales of the equipment

Dominic needed £3,000 to set up his business and pay for the initial stock He used savings from birthday and Christmas money and cashed in some investments that his father had made when Dominic was born The young entrepreneur had also invested in shares on the stock market “I had to do the deals in my dad’s name because I was too young,” he says, “but he doesn’t know anything about the market, so I told him what to buy and sell.”

“I realized the potential for the business when I noticed that a lot of inner-city streets were being closed to

cars or they were chock-a-block with traffic,” he explains “I thought there would be a great market for these

scooters and skateboards, particularly now that more restrictions on cars in town centres have been introduced.” “You can take a smaller one with you on a train in a backpack and then unfold it and use it when you get into town Men in suits are riding them up and down Wall Street in the US and it is my aim to get them to do the same in this country I approached the American manufacturer and, after doing some research into their company and the scooters, I was allowed to become their UK distributor.”

The motorized scooters, which sell for £499 and can travel at up to 22 mph, are not classified as motor vehicles and do not need a license or tax He also sells unmotorized skateboards for £129 They have special high-speed wheels and are capable of reaching 10 mph

“I ride them around town in busy areas and usually end up with a crowd of people running down the street wanting to know where to buy them, or winding down their car windows at traffic lights,” he says Recently he went with his mother on a sales trip to Paris “The scooters are really popular there because the centre of the city

is pedestrianized at the weekend I went out with 500 leaflets and came back with none.”

In the early stages Dominic had to overcome one or two obstacles When he tried to open a business account

at his bank, he made an appointment to see the manager However, the bank thought it was a joke, and when he arrived there they had not set up any time for the meeting “This really upset me,” says Dominic, “but I managed to get a good rate of interest on the account because they were so embarrassed I think people should take children more seriously.”

Now that he has succeeded in setting up the business Dominic wants to expand it At the moment, the company is still importing scooters in small numbers “But business is picking up and so I am ordering a big container of 106 scooters in the-new year.” Dominic is aiming to sell 500 scooters over the next 12 months "I think it is worth taking the risk when you are young: if the worst happens, I have my parents’ support and I am still at school.”

He also plans to open a showroom for his scooters in the City of London, “right by some traffic lights so people stop and look” His idea would then be to sell the business and look for further opportunities to make money “I’d like to be able to retire before I’m 40,” he tells me

In 776 B.C., the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greek’s chief god, Zeus The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle

caused the Greeks to create competitive sports Only the elite and military could participate at first, but

later the games were opened to all free Greek males who had no criminal record The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth Therefore, contests in running, jumping, javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds Originally these contests were held as games of

friendship and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place They also helped to

strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities presented

The Greeks attached so much importance to the games that they calculated time in four-year cycles called “Olympiads”, dating from 776 B.C The contest coincided with religious festivities and constituted

an all-out effort on the part of participants to please the gods Any who disobeyed the rules were

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42

In 2011, on the popular American TV quiz show, Jeopardy!, two champions competed against a brand new opponent Both Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter had won millions of dollars on Jeopardy! Jennings

once won 74 games in a row, the most ever Then Rutter beat him in a tournament and set a new record

for the most money won on Jeopardy! Their new opponent, Watson, had never appeared on the game

show and had only played practice games before, in which he often got answers wrong

However, Watson isn’t human He, or rather it, is a machine, a wonder of technology made by researchers at IBM In the game, Watson used math to decide on an answer When a question was read out, Watson was immediately given the same question in electronic form It analyzed the question and

searched its memory bank - about the same as one million books of information - for possible answers

It then narrowed the options down to one answer If Watson felt around 75 percent confident about the answer, it would answer the question

The way Watson thinks is very different from the way humans think People often make decisions by listening to their emotions and feelings, even if they are unsure of the answer As a computer, Watson couldn’t do this People also watch and listen to those around them Watson was not able to “listen” to the wrong answers given by his competitors In one question, Jennings answered the question incorrectly and Watson later answered with the same wrong answer Watson also made silly mistakes In a question in the category U.S Cities, Watson incorrectly answered Toronto, even though the city of Toronto is in Canada

An IBM researcher said Watson got confused because it saw in its memory bank that the U.S is often called America Toronto is considered a North American city, so that was the answer that Watson gave

Still, Watson defeated his human opponents somewhat easily and received the $1 million prize The

other players also won money for participating in the special game Everyone left the game happy, as each player was earning money for different charities

Trang 36

B He reads the question in an electronic form

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building One way is to provide

an alternative, non-polluting source of energy First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce

electricity from the rays of the sun Once installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution

Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building It is possible to cut electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs To reduce

the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the

building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer

One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally responsible office building in America Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use

Trang 39

A larger project is under way in China The first phase of this project will include houses for 400

families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China

Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading Individuals, companies, and governments are beginning to see their benefits Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run
