Question 30. In which paragraph does the writer discuss the cultural impact of multiculturalism?

Exercise 2: 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 following questions.

[I] The first cities appeared around ten thousand years ago. [II] They were often located in areas with good farmland near rivers such as in Mesopotamia and Egypt. [III] This is because when people started to grow crops, they could live in communities in one place instead of moving around to find food. [IV]

People became attracted to cities because they offered trade, education and work opportunities, but urbanisation is a novel concept. Until 250 years ago, 90% of people lived in rural areas. The huge cities of Mesopotamia have disappeared, but other cities have grown. For example, Cairo in Egypt today has a population of 22 million people.

The main reason behind the rapid urbanisation we see today was the Industrial Revolution of the mid-1800s, which started in England and then spread to Europe and America. People started moving from the countryside to the cites to work in the factories, which made the city populations grew rapidly. London went from a population of one million in 1800 to over six million in ten years. Advances in infrastructure, transit, education and entertainment keep attracting people to move to big cities. More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas today and experts predict that it will increase to two-thirds by 2050.

The first megacities with populations of more than 10 million people were New York City and Tokyo in the 1950s. There are 33 megacities around the world today. Tokyo is still the biggest with 37.3 million residents, but there are lots of cities with populations of more than 20 million such as Delhi, Shanghai, Dhaka, Sao Paulo and Mexico City. Experts predict there will be 41 megacities by the year 2030.

[I] The first cities appeared around ten thousand years ago. [II] They were often located in areas with good farmland near rivers such as in Mesopotamia and Egypt. [III] This is because when people started to grow crops, they could live in communities in one place instead of moving around to find food. [IV]

People became attracted to cities because they offered trade, education and work opportunities, but urbanisation is a novel concept. Until 250 years ago, 90% of people lived in rural areas. The huge cities of Mesopotamia have disappeared, but other cities have grown. For example, Cairo in Egypt today has a population of 22 million people.

The main reason behind the rapid urbanisation we see today was the Industrial Revolution of the mid-1800s, which started in England and then spread to Europe and America. People started moving from the countryside to the cites to work in the factories, which made the city populations grew rapidly. London went from a population of one million in 1800 to over six million in ten years. Advances in infrastructure, transit, education and entertainment keep attracting people to move to big cities. More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas today and experts predict that it will increase to two-thirds by 2050.

The first megacities with populations of more than 10 million people were New York City and Tokyo in the 1950s. There are 33 megacities around the world today. Tokyo is still the biggest with 37.3 million residents, but there are lots of cities with populations of more than 20 million such as Delhi, Shanghai, Dhaka, Sao Paulo and Mexico City. Experts predict there will be 41 megacities by the year 2030.
