Meanwhile, rural residents increasingly lag behind their urban counterparts in income and access to services, leading many to migrate to cities Migration presents challenges for urban management but also opportunities to enhance labor mobility Fortunately, these trends can be reversed For example, four years ago, Alley 76 in Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh City was only narrow enough for one motorbike to get through Store owner Bui Thi Mai knows how a clean and efficient city can make or break a business When it rained, the alley was often flooded with floating garbage and mosquitoes Crime was increasing Today, after undergoing major upgrading under an urban renewal project, the street is cleaner, safer and trucks carry, goods to her door Her family income has soared and her life has been completely changed Question 3: Urbanization in Viet Nam has A made rural areas develop along with urban ones B mainly contributed to the country’s GDP C made urban areas develop faster than the average D promoted the country’s economy twice as fast as before Question 4: The number of urban residents in Vietnam today is _ A 13 million B 17 million C 30 million D 43 million Question 5: The word "remarkable" is closest in meaning to _ A exciting B interesting C threatening D astonishing Question It can be inferred from the passage that along with urban migration A population of cities accounts for the majority of the country's B cities offer sufficient employment opportunities for migrants C the city authorities face both advantages and disadvantages D people in rural areas not suffer from poor infrastructure in the city Question The responsibility of city authorities is A to contribute much more to the country's gross domestic product B to stop the migration from the rural areas C to provide equal opportunities for every group of residents D to leave all difficulties behind in order to move forward Question All of the following are benefits from the urban renewal project EXCEPT that A the streets and alleys will no longer be flooded B the neighborhood has become cleaner and safer C business and the living conditions have been improved D people can have goods carried to their door Question The word "lag behind" is closest in meaning to A earn more B develop more slowly C run behind D become poorer 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 following questions In 1900, just 13 per cent of the world's people lived in cities In 2008, the number passed 50 per cent for the first time in history By 2050, the number will be about 70 per cent The urban population in Asia and Africa will double, and there will be nearly 30 'megacities' - cities with more than 10 million people So what will life be like for people in the cities of the future?
