Question 3. Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. (10.0 points)
 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 
 DeThiTiengAnh.net Bộ 17 Đề thi học sinh giỏi Tiếng Anh Lớp 9 (Có đáp án + File nghe) - DeThiTiengAnh.net
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.
