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 to 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 work places – 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

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 from 28 to 34.

        Very few people in the modem world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature s provision is the oldest subsistence strategy, and has been practiced for at least two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago.

                   Because hunter-gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments such as deserts forests or arctic wasteland. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater independence on hunting, and along the coasts and waterways, on fishing. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies. Contemporary hunter-gathers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from observation of modem hunter- gathers in both Africa and Alaska that society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice a seasonal migration on pattern evolving for most hunter gathers, along with a restrict division of labor between sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

How cun we know more about the hunter- gathers of prehistoric time?

A. By studying the remains of their camp sites

B. By studying similar contemporary societies

C. By studying the prehistoric environment

D. By practicing hunting and gathering

While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers ______.

A. have better food gathering from nature   

B. can free themselves from hunting

C. harvest shorter seasonal crops       

D. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing

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 from 28 to 34.

        Very few people in the modem world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature s provision is the oldest subsistence strategy, and has been practiced for at least two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago.

                   Because hunter-gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments such as deserts forests or arctic wasteland. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater independence on hunting, and along the coasts and waterways, on fishing. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies. Contemporary hunter-gathers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from observation of modem hunter- gathers in both Africa and Alaska that society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice a seasonal migration on pattern evolving for most hunter gathers, along with a restrict division of labor between sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

When was hunting and gathering introduced?

A. 1,000,000 years ago

B. 2,000,000 years ago

C. 10,000 years ago

D. 2,000 years ago
