* Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
MEGACITY: A NEW KIND OF CITY
A term 'megalopolis' (or megacity) was first used by French geographer Jean Gottman to describe the
north-eastern United States in 1961. The term is used more widely now and is defined as an urban area of
more than 10 million inhabitants dominated by a low-density housing. In 1995 there were 14 megacities.
By 2020 there could be 30.
Megacities are the result of the process of urbanization. After cities grew into crowded urban centres,
people who could afford to move into suburbs at the edge of the city. When the suburbs in turn became
crowded, people moved into villages and dormitory towns outside the city, but within commuting
distance. In this way, for the first time since industrialisation, the countryside began to gain population,
whereas cities lost their inhabitants. In the 1980s St Louis and Detroit in the America lost between 35 and
47 per cent of their populations and London lost 15 per cent in the 20 years to 1971.
However, this movement away from cities does not mean that the city is dying. In fact it is spreading.
From the old city develops a metropolitan area with many low-level urban developments. When these
metropolitan areas merge together, they form megacities which contain over 10 million people. The
largest of these is in America, called Boswash - a region over 300 miles long from Boston in the north to
Washington, DC in the south with more than 44 million people. There are emerging megalopolises in
Britain centred around London and the south-east, in Germany in the industrial region of the Ruhr and
Japan in the Tokyo-Osaka-Kyoto region.
Question 24: A megacity is characterised by .
A. number of centres B. high-rise apartment buildings
C. those who move from villages D. low-level urban developments
Question 25: Movement away from cities creates .
A. urbanization B. dormitory towns C. metropolitan areas D. industrialisation
Question 26: Areas merging together form .
A. city spread B. megacity
C. suburb movement D. village movement
Question 27: Which is the best title for paragraph 3?
A. Megacities around the world B. What is a megacity?
C. The formation of megacities D. Cities lose their people
Question 28: Which of the following is NOT true?
A. London is an example of emerging megalopolis.
B. People moving out of the cities live in the area within travelling distance.
C. The loss of city population can reach nearly 50%.
D. Megacities must have overall 10 million inhabitant.
Question 29. The word "spreading" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. lessening B. shrinking C. decreasing D. expanding
Question 30. The highlighted word "these" in the passage refers to .

* 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 43 to 50.
Political and economic reforms launched in 1986 have transformed the country from one of the poorest
in the world, with per capita income around US $100, to lower middle income status within a quarter of a
century with per capita income of around US $2,100 by the end of 2015.
Vietnam’s per capita GDP growth since 1990 has been among the fastest in the world, averaging 5.5
percent a year since 1990, and 6.4 percent per year in the 2000s. Vietnam’s economy continued to
strengthen in 2015, with estimated GDP growth rate of 6.7 percent for the whole year.
The Vietnamese population is also better educated and has a higher life expectancy than most countries
with a similar per capita income. The maternal mortality ratio has dropped below the upper-middle-
income country average, while under-five mortality rate has fallen by half, to a rate slightly above that
average. Access to basic infrastructure has also improved substantially. Electricity is now available to
almost all households, up from less than half in 1993. Access to clean water and modem sanitation has
risen from less than 50 percent of all households to more than 75 percent.
Vietnam’s Socio-Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) 2011-2020 gives attention to structural
reforms, environmental sustainability, social equity, and emerging issues of macroeconomic stability. It
defines three "breakthrough areas": promoting human resources/skills development (particularly skills for
modem industry and innovation), improving market institutions, and infrastructure development.
In addition, the five-year Socio-Economic Development Plan 2011-2015 focused on three critical
restructuring areas - the banking sector, state-owned enterprises and public investment - that are needed to
achieve these objectives. The recent draft of the SEDP 2016-2020 acknowledges the slow progress of the
reform priorities of the SEDP 2011-2015.
With agriculture still accounting for almost half the labour force, and with significantly lower labour
productivity than in the industry and services sectors, future gains from structural transformation could be
substantial. The transformation from state to private ownership of the economy is even less advanced.
The state also wields too much influence in allocating land and capital, giving rise to heavy economy
wide inefficiencies. So, adjusting the role of the state to support a competitive private sector-led market
economy remains a major opportunity. This will be important for enhancing productivity growth which
has been stagnating for a long time.
