Urban
development is having a direct impact on the weather in (26) _
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 (27)
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,
(28) it is not
uncommon to find plants growing on top of roofs or down the walls of large
buildings. In Singapore, the
government has (29) to transform it into a
"city within a garden" and, in 2006, they held an international
competition calling for entries to develop a master plan to help bring this
about. One outcome was the creation of 18 "Supertrees" – metal
constructions resembling very tall trees. Each one is a vertical freestanding
garden and is (30) _ to exotic
plants and ferns. They also contain solar panels used to light the trees at
night and also containers to collect rainwater, making them truly self-
sufficient.

Edward Patrick
Eagan was born on April 26th 1897 in Denver, Colorado, and his father died in a
railroad accident when Eagan was only one year old. He and his four brothers
were raised by his mother, who earned a small income from teaching foreign
languages.
Inspired
by Frank Marriwell, the hero of a series of popular novels for boys, Eagan
pursued an education for himself and an interest in boxing. He attended the
University of Denver for a year before serving in the U.S. army as an artillery
lieutenant during World War I. After the war, he entered Yale University and
while studying there, won the US national amateur heavyweight boxing title. He
graduated from Yale in 1921, attended Harvard Law School, and received a Rhodes
scholarship to the University of Oxford where he received his A.M. in 1928.
While studying
at Oxford, Eagan became the first American to win the British amateur boxing
championship. Eagan won his first gold medal as a light heavyweight boxer at
the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp,
Belgium. Eagan also fought at the 1924 Olympics in Paris as a heavyweight but
failed to get a medal. Though he had taken up the sport just three weeks before
the
competition, he managed to win a second gold medal as a member of
four-man bobsled team at the 1932 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. Thus, he
became the only athlete to win gold medals at both the Summer and Winter
Olympics.

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.
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 diseaset.
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.

Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Urbanization brings
important benefits for development as well.
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.
