Read the text carefully then answer the following questions from 21 to 27.
Tokyo, with a population of 33 million people, is by far the largest city in world. It’s also the most technologically advanced, and the city runs like digital clockwork. The automated subway, for example, is so efficient that it is able to transport almost eight million commuters every day and on the rare occasions that it goes wrong, nobody believes it. If you are late for work in Tokyo and, as an excuse, you say that your train was late, you need to provide written proof from the train company. The idea of late trains is almost unthinkable. There is very little crime, violence, or vandalism in Tokyo and the streets are safe to walk by day or night. There is also relatively low unemployment compared to other big cities in the world. But such a huge population creates serious problems of space, and as Marr flew over Tokyo in a helicopter he saw football pitches, playgrounds, even driving schools constructed on top of buildings. Streets, parks, and subways are extremely crammed. Property prices are so high and space is so short that a family of six people may live in a tiny flat of only 25 square metres. There are other problems too, of alienation and loneliness. The Hikikomori are inhabitants of Tokyo who cannot cope with ‘the mechanical coldness and robotic uniformity’ of a megacity and have become recluses, rarely or never leaving their homes. There is also a new business that has grown up in Tokyo which allows friendless people to ‘rent a friend’ to accompany them to a wedding or just to sit and chat to them in a bar after work. Another strange group of people are the Hashiriya, Tokyo’s street racers who risk their lives driving at ridiculous speeds along the city streets. During the week these men have ordinary jobs and they’re model citizens. But on Saturday nights they spend the evening driving though the city as fast as they possibly can. It’s a deadly game, but it’s just one way of escaping the daily pressures of life in the metropolis.
What best serves as the title for the passage?
Tokyo: A city of alienation and loneliness
Tokyo: A prime example of a megacity
Tokyo: How to avoid missing trains?
Tokyo: The most developed city in the world
The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to ____________.
automated subway
Tokyo
digital clockwork
train company
According to paragraph 1, why does the idea of late trains seem implausible in Tokyo?
because the trains are automated
because it is capable of transporting nearly eight million commuters every day
because it is sponsored by train companies
because it is so effective that it just goes wrong on rare occasions
The word “crammed” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
spacious
occupied
packed
busy
The word “recluses” in paragraph 3 mostly means ____________.
hermits
introverts
monks
ascetics
Which of the following is NOT mentioned about Tokyo in the passage?
Due to the severe space shortage, property prices are so high.
In Tokyo, a new business has been growing, allowing single people to rent a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
Some individuals tend to avoid going outside due to isolation and loneliness.
During the week, the Hashiriya are model citizens and Tokyo’s street racers on Saturday nights.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
Japanese government is planning to invest more in constructing schools on top of buildings.
People in Tokyo are too busy to even make friends.
Tokyo is a wealthy city, but it may be difficult to live there because of overcrowding and busy lifestyles.
Living in Tokyo would make you solitary and stressed because of the busy environment.
Read the text carefully then answer the following questions from 28 to 33.
Where the significance of migration to cities is recognised, it is widely seen as a problem. In 2013, a UN study of all 193 UN member states found that 80 per cent had policies to reduce rural to urban migration. This figure has risen substantially in recent decades, up from only 38 per cent in 1996. It is also more pronounced in poorer countries: 88 per cent of the least developed countries reported policies to reduce migration to urban areas. But this negative attitude towards migration to cities may well be mistaken. The WMR argues that problems of access to services – such as housing, sanitation, education or employment – that result from rural to urban migration, are not inevitable. Rather, they are caused by poor planning. Although all socio- economic classes are reflected in migration to cities, migrants from rural areas are disproportionately poor, and inadequate planning is often a result of a weak political will to support them. In this way, migrants who come to cities can help diversify the networks that the city can draw upon – for instance, by linking cities to broader global networks. Perhaps the most famous example of this is Eastleigh in Nairobi. Known as “Little Mogadishu”, this neighbourhood has become a vibrant, global commercial hub, powered by enterprising members of the Somali, Ethiopian and Kenyan diasporas.
What could be the passage mainly about?
Migrants coming to urban areas from rural areas
Migrants coming to urban areas to find jobs
The effects of rising migrant numbers in urban areas
The analysis on why rural migrants migrate to urban areas
The word “pronounced” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
ambiguous
stable
evident
vague
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of increasing number of rural residents moving to cities?
Poor access to services such as housing
Problems with sanitation
Difficulties to find employment
Overcrowding in the cities
The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ____________.
politicians
migrants
citizens
poor people
Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
80 UN members states had policies aimed at reducing rural to urban migration.
Problems resulting from rural to urban migration linked to access to services are unavoidable.
Migrants who come to cities will help diversify the networks from which the city can depend on.
Eastleigh in Nairobi is considered the poorest city in the world.
What is the main reason mentioned in the passage for poor planning in cities?
Lack of financial resources
Weak political will to support migrants
Limited migrant networks
Overcrowding in cities

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 36 to 40.
More than 1 billion people live in housing (36) is below minimum standards of comfort and sanitation, and new houses will have to be built for 3 billion people by 2030.
Investing in essential infrastructure propels growth and human development. There (37) some progress in narrowing the infrastructure deficit in recent decades, but much more needs to be done. Good planning and sound management is needed to manage this. National and local governments need to become more strategic in responding (38) the full range of challenges and opportunities posed by rapid urbanisation. This can be done by formulating a national urbanisation (39) as a first step to help to identify urban development priorities, shape plans and better coordinate actions by all the actors involved, including the private sector.
There is, (40) no one-size-fits-all urban strategy. Urban policy priorities and choices depend on a variety of factors - including the scale, speed and source of urbanisation, the size of cities and the stage of urban development.
