With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, urban sprawl is a growing problem, particularly in North America, where large houses and two-car garages are common. In Quebec City urban sprawl is increasing at a rapid rate. A recent study found that urban sprawl has been increasing since 1951. Between 1971 and 2001 the urban area increased by 250% but the population only increased by 50%. Along both the south and north of the St Lawrence river, urban sprawl stretches into the farming areas for many kilometres along the main highways.

Emergency services are working in freezing conditions to find as many as 30 people feared trapped in a hotel in central Italy. It is now more than a day after the hotel was buried by an avalanche, as a large amount of snow slipped rapidly down the mountainside. The four-star Hotel Rigopiano, at the foot of the Gran Sasso mountain was covered by an avalanche of snow which is thought to have been triggered by an earthquake. Despite the fear of further avalanches, rescuers battled blizzards and strong winds to reach the site. They had to ski for several kilometres in the darkness to get there because roads were blocked. Road crews had cleared much of the snow and fallen trees by night time, finally allowing heavy rescue equipment to reach the hotel. Helicopters had earlier taken searchers, including dogs, up the mountain.

It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

0460/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 2 of 18 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.
