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.
The urban heat island effect
Green spaces in cities mitigate the effects of pollution and can reduce a phenomenon known as the
urban heat island effect, which refers to heat trapped in built-up areas.
The urban heat island effect appears in towns and cities as a result of human activity. The heat
generated by people, transport, shops and industry is trapped in the narrow roads and concrete
structures, unable to escape to the atmosphere. This can bring the temperature in urban areas up 3-4°C
higher than the surrounding countryside, and with that comes a vicious cycle.
Increased temperatures in summer leads to an increased demand for cooling. This expands our
energy consumption, which in turn intensifies fossil fuel consumption, increasing pollutants in the air
and harmful smog on our streets.
Hotter pavements also damage the water cycle. In summer, surface temperatures can be a staggering
50°C hotter than the surrounding air, and that heat is transferred to the rainwater that drains into our
sewers, which in turn raises water temperatures as it is released into streams, rivers, and lakes. This
can be destructive to aquatic ecosystems, as changes in water temperature can be stressful or even
fatal for marine life.

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.
A smart city is one which uses digital technology and data to make safer, healthier, and more
efficient urban environments. Some cities already use smart solutions to inform their governance and
design. For instance, air quality monitoring has been deployed in many cities to issue health updates in
real time and implement low-emission zones. And traffic flow data has informed the creation of
congestion charges.
There are many other new applications for smart technologies. Monitoring building use could
help optimize heating and cooling through the structure, improving energy efficiency. Virtual reality
can be deployed by architects and engineers to create the most efficient possible designs. Informal
settlements in developing countries with fewer essential services such as cooling, sanitation, or
healthcare, can have access improved by digital technology. Mobile phones could offer applications
like mobile banking, location tagging for free energy sources such as solar power, and locations for
services such as pop-up clinics.
However, the smart city concept brings significant concerns. The rollout of technologies such
as facial recognition may create ever more powerful and intrusive surveillance, and gathering
enormous data sets on residents’ behaviour presents serious privacy issues. Bad governance could also
result in technological solutions being unequally distributed, entrenching existing class divisions
within cities.
Wealthy enclaves could become more sealed off from their neighbours as islands of
technological abundance while technology is used to control and isolate poorer citizens rather than
improve their lives. But future cities have enormous potential as centres for innovation. They are the
perfect environment to trial new technological solutions in transport, healthcare, energy efficiency, and
climate change adaptation.
