A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 28 to 32 Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in (28) cities worldwide It has been noticed that the difference in temperature is usually greater at night and the phenomenon occurs in both winter and summer Experts agree that this is due to urban development, when open green spaces are replaced with asphalt roads and tall brick or concrete buildings These materials retain heat generated by the Sun and release it through the night In Atlanta, in the US, this has even led to thunderstorms (29) occur in the morning rather than, as is more common, in the afternoon Large cities around the world are adopting strategies to combat this issue, (30) it is not uncommon to find plants growing on top of roofs or down the walls of large buildings In Singapore, the government has (31) to transform it into a “city within a garden” and, in 2006,

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 33 According to paragraph 3, what is one of the

one for each of the original colonies Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-cent was issued with only twelve stars There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error Question 32: The word “their” in line refers to A features B coins C stars D colonies Question 33: The expression “Curiously enough” is used because the author finds it strange that _ A no silver coins were issued until 1794 B Tennessee was the first state to use half dimes C Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union in 1794 D silver coins with fifteen stars appeared before coins with thirteen Question 34: Why was a coin produced in 1828 with only twelve stars?

Ecotourism offers a long-term alternative to exploitation, generating sustainable revenue and ensuring better overall health of the ecosystem Nature reserves and national parks help prevent deforestation and pollution, while also protecting the habitat of endemic species The revenue that ecotourism provides can help replace profits from exploitative practices such as mining or slash ‘n’ burn agriculture It can also help ensure the long-term financial viability of the area Naturalist guides also help travelers understand the value of a pristine ecosystem, and teach them about the importance of conservation This ultimately help to create a more mindful and conscious legion of travelers When managed properly, ecotourism can offer locals alternative revenue streams In wildlife-rich countries such as Rwanda, former poachers are often employed as guides or trackers, capitalizing on their knowledge of the animals and their habitat In Costa Rica, unemployment has fallen to less than 10% since the country started building its ecotourism infrastructure in the 1970s Involving local communities in tourism management empowers them by ensuring that more revenue is reinvested locally Ecotourism also offers indigenous peoples an opportunity to remain on ancestral land, conserve it, and preserve traditional culture Sure, being a responsible traveler takes a greater level of commitment to being conscious and mindful of the impact we have on the destinations we visit But ecotourism also offers us incredible, transformative experiences, allowing us to develop closer personal relationships to the nature, wildlife, and local people we encounter during our adventures Learning about ecotourism can permanently change your understanding of mankind’s role in our planetary ecosystem And once you’ve had that sort of travel experience, you’ll never want to travel the traditional way again (Adapted from: https://www ith org za/what-is-eco-tourism/) Question 37: The word “revenue” in paragraph most likely means A reward B benefit C profit D interest Question 38: The word “pristine” in paragraph most likely means A natural B untouched C beautiful D dirty Question 39: The word “them” in paragraph refers to _ A species B relationships C poachers D locals Question 40: According to paragraph 3, in what direction can ethical tourism help the society?
