VI. Reading Comprehension Passage I Comparing Urbanization in China and India China and India are in the vanguard of(处于先锋) a wave of urban expansion. By 2025, I nearly 2.5 billion Asians will live in cities, accounting for almost 54 percent of the world's urban population. India and China alone will account for more than 62 percent of Asian urban population growth from 2005 to 2025. In 1950, India was a more urban nation than China. But from 1950 to 2005, China urbanized far more rapidly than India. New research from the McKinsey Global Institute expects this pattern to continue, with China forecast to add 400 million to its urban population, which will account for 64 percent of the total population by 2025, and India to add 215 million to its cities, whose populations will account for 38 percent of the total in 2025. In addition, in both China and India, urban infrastructure markets will be massive. For example, from 2005 to 2025, India will need to add at least 350 to 400 kilometers of metropolitan railways and subways annually, while the corresponding number in China will be closer to 1,000 kilometers. There is little doubt about the scale(规模) of the new markets in China and India unleashed(释放) by the pace and scale of their urbanization. But businesses still need to be able to serve these markets in practical terms. The way cities are run is a major factor for companies. Here, China is in much better shape than India. While India has barely paid attention to its urban transformation, China has developed a set of internally(内部地) consistent(一致的) practices across every element of the operating mode: funding, planning, and the shape, or pattern, of urbanization. India has underinvested in its cities; China has invested ahead of demand and given its cities the freedom to raise substantial(大量的) investment resources by monetizing(货币化) land assets. While India spends $17 per capita on capital investments in urban infrastructure annually, China spends $116. The contrast between the two countries is that China has embraced and shaped urbanization, while India is still waking up to its urban reality and the opportunities that its cities offer for economic and social transformation. However, if India fixes its urban operating mode, it has the potential to reap a demographic dividend(人口红利) from the increase in the working-age population. This dividend is even larger than that in China, which is aging rapidly. If India optimizes(优化) the productivity of its cities and maximizes their GDP, the economy could add more than 170 million urban workers to its labor force from 2005 to 2025, compared with 50 million in China over the same period小题:1. About _______Asians will live in cities accounting for ________of the urban population in the world by 2025A. 2.5 billion; 62%B. 2.5 billion; 54%C. 400 million; 64%D. 215 million; 38%
