One of the most pressing problems is public transp

27、ort. Now lets look at the crisis facing the city of London. In no time in history has there been such a mass migration of people from countryside to city as is happening now. By the year 2030, its estimated that more than two thirds of the worlds population will be living in cities, twice as many as

28、 today. This means that the problems faced by cities today-overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty, and lack of food and water will be twice as bad in the this century, unless we find solutions soon. Another crucial issue facing cities today is how to provide good transport links to servic

29、e the commercial, cultural and leisure needs of their inhabitants. Today, many of the worlds major cities are already struggling to cope with out-of-date transport infrastructures. How they will cope with the additional demands placed on them has not yet been addressed. London is a good example of t

30、he problems facing many major urban centres. It was the worlds first megacity and the first with a population of a million people. Its expansion was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which, among other things, powered the worlds first underground railway. Today, London has one of t

31、he worlds most extensive transport systems. But, because it was the first city to build a railway network, much of the infrastructure-the trains and buses, the tracks and tunnels-is now hopelessly out-of-date, and needs urgent modernization. Londons future success depends very much on transport. The

32、 city lies at the heart of Britains road and rail networks and problems in London can rapidly affect other areas of the country. On an average morning, over ground trains bring passengers to stations on the outskirts of the city, and they then continue their journeys by underground, bus or taxi. Ove

33、r a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, and the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is frequent, safe, reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Commuters com

34、plain about delays, unreliability, cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have getting to work on time. Companies also face high costs for delivering goods and services in a city where congestion means that cars today travel at the same speed as horse-drawn carriag

35、es did in the last century. Yet car ownership continues to grow. The proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over 10 per cent in the early 1950s to over 60 per cent today. 20 per cent of house-holds now own two or more cars. As the city has become increasingly congested and pol

36、luted, there has been a growing realization that action is needed. However, precisely what should be done is hotly debated. Some people have called for cleaner fuels and strict controls on exhaust emissions. Others say more effort must be put into persuading people not to use their cars, perhaps by

37、charging people to drive into London. There does seem to be agreement on one thing, though-that until Londons public transport system is improved, people will continue to use their cars. This raises the all important questions of where the money is going to come from. Until about 10 years ago, most

38、public transport in Britain was owned and paid for by the government. But in the last decade, most train and bus networks have been privatized. The government says that the private sector should take most, but not all, of the responsibility for public transport. In London, the underground railway sy

39、stem known as the “Tube“ is likely to be where this policy is first put into practice. The government admits that it cannot afford to modernize the Tube system alone. Instead, it wants to form a partnership with private companies, so that they provide some of the money. Questions 56 to 60 Mark each

42、 fame are slender: a thriving umbrella industry and a reputation as the coldest place in the country. Understandably, the tourists stay away. Except , that is, for one hectic week each summer, when the community plays host to the International Festival of Street Theater, an extravaganza that now att

43、racts 100, 000 visitors keen to watch performers from as far away as Poland and Chile. The bars fill: the shops prosper. “ Its put Aurillac on the map,“ says festival director Jean-Marie Songy. “ Were a place that people visit as opposed to simply passing by. “ And as countless festival organizers a

44、nd chambers of commerce have realized, the longer visitors stay, the more they spend. As the summer season draws to a close, communities across the world-from outsize cities to modest villages-are counting the rewards of tapping into this booming cultural economy. This year Europe alone will stage s

45、ome 400 arts festivals, ranging from the Reykjavik Jazz Festival to the Edinburgh International Festival of music, opera and theater, which last month celebrated its 60th anniversary. 【 R2】 _“ More and more places are recognizing the massive economic, cultural and social benefits of a festival,“ say

46、s Joanna Baker, the Edinburgh festivals marketing director. To be sure, a successful arts festival represents a happy union of commercial self-interest and public entertainment. Though many of even the best- known festivals need public subsidies to survive, they still provide an opportunity to lift

47、a communitys profile or pack its restaurants and hotels. Festival-goers face an increasingly eclectic array of subjectsand venues. Barcelona, for one, boasts 26 major arts festivals a yearonly one more than Melbourne, Australia. Film buffs can now choose between showings in cities from Aarhus in Den

48、mark to Zagreb, not to mention the Pan-African Festival of Film and Television in Burkina Faso. Ambitious promoters are now looking across borders to push successful formulas. In recent years, the Hayoon-Wye literary festival in Britain has established similar events in Segovia, Spain, and the Colom

49、bian city of Cartagena. Even newcomers to the market have little problem filling seats: Manchester reports packed houses and reckons its on target to attract 300, 000 visitors within a few years. 【 R3】 _The new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has spoken of the proliferating literary festivalsBritain now has more than 300, compared with just three back in 1983as evidence of a new cult
