From time immemorial, cities have been the central gathering places of human life, from
where the great ideas and movements of the world have sprouted. In this country, the
beginnings of our independence fomented with the Boston Tea Party, while Philadelphia
served as the home of the Constitutional Convention. The seeds of economic and financial
power were sowed on the streets of New York City. Around the world, the great thinkers of
the Renaissance assembled in Florence, the impressionist painters flocked to Paris, and the
industrial revolution sparked in Birmingham England.
Hundreds of years later, great ideas and innovations are still sprouting in cities – but this
time accompanied by a growth in urbanized life over the last several decades never before
seen. For the first time in history, more people are living in cities than rural areas. And, this
way of living is only going to continue: by 2050, the urban share of global population is
projected to surpass 66 percent (up from 30 percent in 1950). This trend of urbanization is
even more dramatic beyond the borders of the United States. Take Nigeria's capital, Lagos,
which had a population of approximately 7.2 million in 2000, and is expected to rise to 24
million by 2030. And, eight times more Nigerians live in cities today than in 1975. Moreover,
the metro areas of Tokyo, New York and Mexico City were the only metro areas in 1975 with
at least 10 million people. Today, that list would include 31 such megacities – with 10 more
to join by 2030 – all of which are outside the United States.

Cities are undergoing what Brookings Institution author Bruce Katz terms the
"metropolitan revolution." Financial capitals New York and London are transforming into major
world tech hubs as new and innovative companies emerge within these cities. And, this shift
is not exclusive to New York or London, as many cities are undergoing similar transformations
driven by this global trend toward urbanization. This wave of urban growth stems, in large
part, from the mass adoption of the internet and interconnected technologies. Interestingly,
many sociologists predicted years ago that the advent of such interconnectivity would enable
people to live and work anywhere. But the practical result has been the opposite.
Indeed, in this new 21st century economy, innovative workers seek one another to
collaborate in building and developing new knowledge-based industries that are increasingly
disrupting and dominating a rapidly evolving global economy. Bright, curious minds in the
sciences and technology demand proximity in order to be more productive, more creative and
further stimulated. This need for collaboration has propelled millennials to move to urban
areas in droves. But once they get there, they desire new open physical environments – such
as incubators and shared workplaces – to enhance their collaborative efforts. Beyond work, a
growing single population – one that now outnumbers married people in the United States –
seeks out other singles amid the myriad activities and diverse nightlife that only cities offer.

These days you rarely hear about people who wish to move to a rural area. It is especially
strange when someone who has lived all their lives in an urban area one day decides to uproot
and go live in the peace and quiet of the countryside.
Often than not, people decide to find a peaceful place at their old age. Elderly people don’t
really like the hustle and the bustle of a big city and will usually look for a place where they
could live out their final years. A rural area is an ideal place for that. Especially if a person
likes nature or has been born there, coming back to your old place as a senior is not a bad
thing to do. It is actually much healthier and allows for people to relax in a very healthy setting.
Health should be your number one concern. Living in urban areas always comes with
health difficulties due to various causes of pollution that are found in big cities. Certain people
get fed up with it and decide that they don’t need the luxury if they can’t have their health. A
rural area does not have all the pollution that is burdening all of these enormous cities. A nice
house in the countryside is a perfect solution if you want to get away from all the noise and
problems that you will most likely experience in urban areas.
Big cities always come with one unique problem for a person – lack of social and sometimes
personal life. If you are working for a big company and have an important job, you will most
likely miss out on all the perks that other people enjoy in their personal lives. Also, a big city
does not really allow you to be that active socially. You have to make plans in advance and can’t
really be spontaneous when you want. Life in a rural area will fix all of that. You will have time
to dedicate more to your personal life and be able to attend to your hobbies. When you are not
doing things by yourself, you can get a little social and go meet up with your friends. Everything
can be sorted out as proximity and being too busy is no longer a problem.

Global warming, the rise in temperature around the earth’s atmosphere, is one of the
biggest (22)_________facing humans nowadays. The results of numerous studies show that global
warming is real. It is mainly man-made and its effects on people and nature are (23)_________.
The biggest cause of global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2) (24)__________from coal
burning power plants. When coal is burnt to make electricity, it releases a large amount of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In the USA, about 40% of CO, emissions come from
(25)__________ production. The second greatest source of CO emissions is the burning of petrol
for transport. In the USA, motor vehicles running (26)__________petrol are responsible for
about 33% of CO2 emissions. The situation is getting worse as the demand for cars is
increasing (27)__________ in the modern world. Another reason for the temperature rise is the
cutting down of forests for wood, paper or farming. Forests absorb and capture CO from the
atmosphere. This process has been (28)________by the current alarming rate of deforestation.
The worst effect of global warming is the rise in sea levels worldwide, which could make
millions of people lose their homes.
Global warming also results in severe weather-related natural disasters such as droughts
and floods that can kill or (29)__________large numbers of people. Global warming with
increasingly high temperatures can reduce crop harvests globally, (30)__________may lead to
famine. It is also predicted to have the worst impact on water supplies. Water (31)__________
are likely to delay economic growth and damage ecosystems. (32)__________ scary effect of
global warming is the disappearance of millions of species in the world. The widespread loss
of species is a matter of great concern for humans since we cannot exist without species
diversity on Earth.
It is important that people understand that human-caused global warming is happening
and its effects on us are serious. Everybody has to (33)__________ some actions now to reduce
the risks.

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.
“There is clear evidence that the global mean temperature is steadily rising,” says Mike
Szulczewski, a researcher in MIT’s Juanes Research Group. “The real risk with global warming
is if it accelerates so quickly that we can’t respond fast enough.” Whether current climate
change is part of a natural cycle or people-generated, the fear is that if left unchecked, the
trend could have serious consequences: disrupted plant cycles, the flooding of coastal cities
as sea levels change, a breakdown of geopolitical systems across the globe.
What is also clear is the increased level of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere since
the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. “Before the late 18th century, the concentration of
CO2 in the atmosphere was about 280 parts per million,” Szulczewski explains. “Currently, it’s
approximately 390 parts per million.” A byproduct of burning fossil fuels, CO2 is a so-called
greenhouse gas that absorbs and emits infrared radiation. Its buildup in the atmosphere over
time means a steady rise in the earth’s average surface temperature.
“The problem is so big that there is no one technological silver bullet for fixing things,”
says Szulczewski. Given the geographic, meteorological, and political scope of the situation,
studies have focused not on reversing global warming, but on mitigating it by stabilizing the
concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. “In order to do that,” says Szulczewski, “we must
reduce our energy usage, increase the efficiency of the energy we do use, and look at solutions
like carbon capture and storage.”
Szulczewski and his research team are currently investigating the safety and viability of
capturing CO2 emissions from power plants and putting them deep underground. “This is one
of the only options that would allow us to continue using fossil fuels,” says Szulczewski.
Everything from the manufacture of toasters to the generation of the electricity to operate
them traces back to power plants. If the US were to make a dent in those emissions by injecting
one sixth of them, the country would have to inject about 1 billion gallons or 40 million barrels
of CO2 every day. The US has never extracted more than about 10 million barrels of crude oil
a day in its entire history.
