In the cities of the future, people will experience big changes in their everyday lives. These urban residents will be part of a highly advanced and connected environment, where new technologies and innovative infrastructure come together to make city life easier and more efficient. Future cities will have smart systems that use resources well, make getting around easier, and help protect the environment. Buildings will be energy-efficient and have smart sensors that adjust things like temperature and lighting based on how many people are there. This will save energy and reduce the amount of pollution. Transportation systems will be well-connected, so people can easily move from one place to another. Electric and self-driving cars will also be common, which means less traffic and less air pollution. In addition, technology will change the way people interact with their city. Advanced augmented reality (AR) systems will show digital information on top of the real world, giving people useful and personalized suggestions. They will also be able to navigate the city with the help of interactive holographic displays that show important places, public transportation options, and real-time traffic updates. Also, there will be fast internet everywhere, so people can easily communicate and connect everyday objects to the internet to make life easier. But there will also be challenges along with these advancements. People in future cities will need to adapt to new complexities and risks. As technology becomes more important for critical infrastructure, there will be a bigger risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches. It will be important to have strong security measures to protect people’s privacy and keep their information safe from bad actors. (Adapted from Solution) Question 29 .

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 from 33 to 40. Scientist Dr Russell Carley is interested in finding out about friendship in the 21st century. He started by trying to answer the question: “Can online friends be as good as face-to-face friends?” Surprisingly, he found that the answer is a big yes! A friend is someone who gives you honest advice and support, and, of course, an online friend can do that. When you feel anxious in the middle of the night, there's always someone who can give you support through a text, a message or just a 'like'. Having online friends is good for your memory, too. There's a lot of information to check every day. When you see an interesting holiday picture, you make a note in your mind to ask your pal about it next time they're online, or when you're together in person. Also, you can find friends who have the same interests as you more easily. For most of us, the online community provides support, it builds our confidence, and we feel loved. So, if online friends are so good, do we need real friends? Interestingly, Dr Carley's research suggests that we do. As he points out, with your real friends, you are in the same physical space; you create memories together as you experience and enjoy doing things with each other. You have to be more responsible with your real friends, as you can't just 'unfriend' them if you disagree with them! Dr Carley explains the science. “When you are with your friends, you get hugs and high fives. Hugging is good for us because our body produces a chemical called oxytocin that makes us feel good and we also feel trust and love. Chatting to your best pals, you copy their words and gestures. When they smile, you smile too! So, in conclusion, both real friends and online friends are great - they just help us in different ways.” (Adapted from Prepare) Question 34. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. The Surprising Truth about Real-life Friendships B. Online Friendships are a Joke! C. Can Online Friends be a Solution to Loneliness? D. Friendship in the 21st Century Question 35. According to paragraph 1, Dr Russell Carley wants to find out whether . A. online friendships can be as fulfilling as real-life friendships B. online friends are willing to help their real-life friends C. there are any differences between friendships in the past and now D. an online friend is more supportive than a face-to-face friend Question 36. The word anxious in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A. delighted B. energetic C. worried D. different

A. real friends offer us more support than online friends in times of trouble B. it is normal to stop being friendly with an online friend after an argument C. spending time with your real friends can lead to a shared emotional experience D. both real-life and online friendships shape the way we interact with others
