Read the following passage about a smart city and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
By 2050 the world’s population is expected to reach 10 billion, and nearly 70 per
cent of these people will live in cities. The cities of the future will be ‘smarter’ and more
sustainable to cope with a growing population and improve people’s lives.
A smart city is a modern urban area that uses a range of technologies to provide
services, solve problems, and support people better. The new technologies can help save time
by predicting changes in the traffic and warning people of possible traffic jams. They will also
help cities operate more efficiently. For example, street lights can turn off when the streets are
empty, and sensors can inform waste collection teams when the bins are full. These smart
technologies will help save energy, reduce air pollution, and fight climate change.
Cities in the future will also be sustainable. They will include a lot of green space
and become home to more plants and animals. Making room for biodiversity and nature can
be done in various ways including underground and rooftop farming, green roofs, and roof
gardens. As people will care more about the environment, most cities will use renewable
and clean energy. Modern infrastructure will also be more eco-friendly. Computer-controlled

5
transport systems like electric buses and trains will produce less greenhouse gas emissions. In
addition, more pedestrian zones for walking and cycle paths will be made available for people
in all neighbourhoods.
These features will make future cities more liveable and will provide a high quality
of life to city dwellers.
Question 23: The word substainable in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
A. available B. unsuitable C. livable D. unnecessary
Question 24: The word They in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. The new technologies B. predicting changes C. traffic jams D. cities

A. People will use solar panels instead of using government-supplied electricity.
B. It will appear a lot of green space and become home to more plants and animals.
C. A range of technologies are used to provide services, solve problems and support people.
D. Modern infrastructure will be more environmentally friendly.
Question 26: The word liveable in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by ________.
A. complicated B. habitable C. believable D. complex
Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Most cities will adopt clean and renewable energy as environmental concerns increase.
B. Because of the polluted environment, people will use renewable and clean energy.
C. If people’s care increases, the environment will be clean and renewable.
D. All cities in the future will use renewable and clean energy to protect the environment.

A. Smart cities use modern technologies help people earn money easier.
B. Smart technologies will consume more energy and electricity.
C. Pedestrian and cycling zones will disappear in smart cities.

Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
The invention of the airplane, like many great inventions, was initially met with
ridicule and disbelief. Although many people who heard about the first powered flight on
December 17, 1903, were excited and impressed, others reacted with peals of laughter. The
idea of flying an aircraft was repulsive to some people. Although Orville and Wilbur Wright,
the inventors of the first flying machine, were called impulsive fools, the Wrights continued
their experiments in aviation.
Orville and Wilbur Wright had always had a compelling interest in aeronautics and
mechanics. As young boys they earned money by making and selling kites and mechanical
toys. Later, they designed a newspaper-folding machine, built a printing press, and operated a
bicycle-repair shop. In 1896, when they read about the death of Otto Lilienthal, the brother's
interest in flight grew into a compulsion.
(I) Lilienthal, a pioneer in hang-gliding, had controlled his gliders by shifting his
body in the desired direction. (II) This idea was repellent to the Wright brothers, however, and
they searched for more efficient methods to control the balance of airborne vehicles. (III) In
1900 and 1901, the Wrights tested numerous gliders and developed control techniques. The
brothers' inability to obtain enough lift power for the gliders almost led them to abandon their
efforts. (IV)
After studying and experimenting with model wings in a wind tunnel, the Wright
brothers designed their first airplane in 1903 for less than one thousand dollars. They even
designed and built their own lightweight gasoline engine. On December 17, they successfully
flew the plane for twelve seconds and 120 feet, despite a turbulent start.
By 1905 the Wrights had perfected the first airplane that could turn, circle, and
remain airborne for half an hour at a time. Others had flown in balloons or in hang gliders, but
the Wright brothers were the first to build a full-size machine that could fly under its own
power. As the contributors of one of the most outstanding engineering achievements in history,
the Wright brothers are accurately called the fathers of aviation.
