Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countriesBy the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.This is actually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development, “ both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,”Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities. Those cities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usually unrepresentative city governments.”1.The passage mainly discusses ______________A.Big citiesB.City lifeC.PopulationD.Gross Domestic Product2.According to the passage, in the year of 2030 _______A.there will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 millionB.rural area will be extinctC.most people will live in citiesD.the third world will keep abreast with the developed world3.In the author’s opinion, _________A.better city, better lifeB.both urban and rural areas have a larger populationC.the larger population, the faster a city developsD.both urban and rural areas have larger gross domestic products4.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.The developing countries develop faster than the developed countriesB.Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagersC.Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in countryD.It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities5.The last paragraph implies that ____________A.Public services are ineffectiveB.Cities are increasing too fastC.Population is not linked with developmentD.Government should be responsible for the problems in the cities
