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 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 The number of urban residents in Vietnam today is more than that in 1986 A 13 million B 17 million C 30 million D 43 million Question 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? Professor of human geography Ben Rhodes describes his vision of the urban world in 2050 Life in cities will be very different from how it is today Energy, especially oil, will be very expensive, so many people will probably work at home, or have their work places close to where they live There will be less traffic on the roads, and it will be easier for people to be close to their families For these reasons, cities won't have just one centre where everyone goes to work and shop Instead, we'll probably see cities with many different centres It will be difficult to provide enough water, gas and electricity for really big cities, so these will probably stop growing Many people from the countryside will move to smaller cities of 500,000 people or less Transport over long distances will be a lot more expensive than it is now, so people will have to use food and energy from the countryside around their cities They will use local materials for building, and perhaps traditional styles of architecture too The thing I really worry about is that energy may become too expensive for many people In the end we might have two groups of people: a rich group which can afford energy and lives in clean, green areas, and a bigger, poorer group which can't afford energy and has to live in the more polluted parts of the city This might lead to serious political problems Question 10 By 2050, 70% of the population will live _ A in cites B in slum C in poverty D in the countryside Question 11 The word "their" in paragraph refers to _ A work places B families C people D cities Question 12 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the shortages that cities will face in the 2050s?
