Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are True, False or Not Mention. (1 m)
By 2050 the world’s population is expected to reach 10 billion, and nearly 70 percent 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 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 21: About 70 million people will live in cities by 2050. _____
Question 22: Smart cities use modern technologies to save time and provide better services. _____
Question 23: City dwellers will be able to grow vegetables underground or in roof gardens. _____
Question 24: Space for walking and cycling will be replaced with computer-controlled
transport systems. _____
Question 25: City dwellers find it difficult to live in future cities because of a high quality of life. _____
