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.
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 diseases. 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 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 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 managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance.

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.
The increase in urbanization causes different problems. Air and water pollution are amongst the major issues we have to tackle.
In the first place, cars, factories and burning waste emit dangerous gases that change the air quality in our cities and pose threats to our health. Dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides cause respiratory diseases, for instant, bronchitis and asthma. Those are also proved to have long-term effects on the environment.
Furthermore, with the increased population, it becomes difficult to manage the waste generated in cities. Most of the waste is discharged or dumped into rivers or onto streets. The waste pollutes water and makes it unfit for human consumption. Subsequently, it becomes more and more difficult for city dwellers to get clean water. Some cities in Africa are unable to provide adequate water supply because most of the water is lost in pipe leakages. In fact, most city dwellers in developing countries are forced to boil their water or to buy bottled water, which is very expensive.
There are several actions that could be taken to eradicate the problems described above. Firstly, a simple solution would be joining community efforts to address problems affecting your city. Ask your parents, friends and relatives to join in as well. These efforts might include clean-up campaigns, recycling projects and a signature campaign to ask the government to do something about the situation. A second measure would be encouraging your teacher to talk about these problems and to discuss how young people can help to solve them. Finally, writing to local organizations working on these issues for ideas on how you can contribute to solve them.

Người ta ước tính rằng đến năm 2050, hơn 2/3 dân số thế giới sẽ sống ở các thành phố, tăng từ khoảng 54% so với hiện nay. Mặc dù đã hiểu rõ nhiều lợi ích của các thành phố có tổ chức và hiệu quả, nhưng chúng ta cần nhận ra rằng quá trình đô thị hóa nhanh chóng, thường không có kế hoạch này mang đến những rủi ro về bất ổn xã hội sâu sắc, rủi ro đối với cơ sở hạ tầng quan trọng, tiềm ẩn khủng hoảng nước và khả năng lây lan dịch bệnh. Những rủi ro này chỉ có thể trở nên trầm trọng hơn khi quá trình chuyển đổi chưa từng có từ nông thôn ra thành thị tiếp tục diễn ra.
Mức độ hiệu quả của những rủi ro có thể được giải quyết sẽ ngày càng được xác định bởi mức độ quản lý của các thành phố. Sự tập trung ngày càng tăng của con người, tài sản vật chất, cơ sở hạ tầng và các hoạt động kinh tế có nghĩa là những rủi ro hiện hữu ở cấp thành phố sẽ có tiềm năng gây rối loạn xã hội lớn hơn bao giờ hết.
Đô thị hóa tự nó không có nghĩa là xấu. Nó mang lại những lợi ích quan trọng cho sự phát triển kinh tế, văn hóa, xã hội. Các thành phố được quản lý tốt vừa hiệu quả vừa thành công, cho phép kinh tế theo quy mô và hiệu ứng mạng đồng thời giảm tác động của giao thông đến khí hậu. Như vậy, một mô hình đô thị có thể làm cho hoạt động kinh tế thân thiện với môi trường hơn. Hơn nữa, sự gần gũi và đa dạng của mọi người có thể khơi dậy sự đổi mới và tạo ra việc làm khi việc trao đổi ý tưởng nảy sinh ra những ý tưởng mới.
Nhưng những khái niệm không tưởng này đang bị đe dọa bởi một số yếu tố thúc đẩy quá trình đô thị hóa nhanh chóng. Ví dụ, một trong những yếu tố chính là di cư từ nông thôn-thành thị, được thúc đẩy bởi triển vọng có cơ hội việc làm lớn hơn và hy vọng có cuộc sống tốt hơn ở các thành phố. Nhưng mật độ dân số tăng nhanh có thể tạo ra nhiều vấn đề nghiêm trọng, đặc biệt nếu các nỗ lực quy hoạch không đủ để đối phó với làn sóng dân cư mới. Kết quả có thể, trong những trường hợp cực đoan, là đói nghèo trên diện rộng. Các ước tính cho thấy 40% sự mở rộng đô thị trên thế giới đang diễn ra trong các khu ổ chuột, làm trầm trọng thêm sự chênh lệch kinh tế xã hội và tạo điều kiện mất vệ sinh cái mà tạo điều kiện cho dịch bệnh lây lan.
Báo cáo Rủi ro Toàn cầu năm 2015 xem xét bốn lĩnh vực phải đối mặt với những thách thức đặc biệt khó khăn khi đối mặt với quá trình đô thị hóa nhanh chóng và không có kế hoạch: cơ sở hạ tầng, y tế, biến đổi khí hậu và bất ổn xã hội. Trong mỗi lĩnh vực này, chúng ta nhận thấy những rủi ro mới có thể được quản lý tốt nhất hoặc trong một số trường hợp, được chuyển giao thông qua cơ chế bảo hiểm.
