Predictions about the Cities of the Future

Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform our surroundings according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land and created artificial islands to make skyscrapers. City planning, as an organized profession, has existed for less than a century. However, a considerable amount of evidence (both archaeological and historical) proves the existence of fully planned cities in ancient times. Over the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using an excessive amount of resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future would be.

We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future would try to save our resources rather than deplete them.

An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make Kansas a smart futuristic city in the future. Planners are considering introducing sensors to monitor the water mains. Warning would be issued to city officials when the infrastructure requires repair or replacement. In this way, the city would never be at risk of having broken pipes.

While the idea sounds fantastic, a large amount of rational critique has called this plan an oversold dream. Amy Glasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT. She is a smart city skeptic who believes that all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions from 24 to 28. (1.25 points)

Almost everyone's exercise habits changed when the Covid-19 started. Data from more than 400,000 users of smartphone step-counting apps concluded that around the world, average daily steps declined by about 27 percent by the end of the first month. The more dramatic drop in the time people spent working out was observed among those who had been the most active before the pandemic.

After the lockdowns were lifted, most people began exercising again. However, in general, only those older than 65 exceeded the previous minutes of taking part in physical activities. On average, they added 20 minutes more to the time they had usually spent on regular exercise. Older people probably had more free time for exercise than younger adults who are trying to deal with child care, work and many other responsibilities. Moreover, with old age as a condition of Covid-19 cases and deaths, it stands to psychological reason that older people might have worried more about their general health, motivating them to get up and do activities that improve their fitness. A study has also shown that since the lockdown measures were adopted, many people reached their general practitioners to ask about the appropriate intensity of physical activities that they could do at home. The doctors made a list of light activities that one could do at home and reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not being able to do moderate and high intensity activities. The list contains moving around their home, cleaning and dusting, making the bed and walking at a slow pace.

Question 24. Which of the following is not the conclusion of the research mentioned in paragraph 1? 

A. People who had been more energetic before the pandemic became more inactive during the first month of lockdown.

B. On average, the number of steps people took decreased by about 27% in the first month of lockdown. 

C. More than 400,000 people downloaded smartphone step-counting apps so they could join the research. 

D. People's exercise habits changed after the lockdown measures were implemented. 

Question 25. The underlined word them in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________

A. cases       B. deaths      C. older people       D. activities

Question 26. Because age is a factor contributing to the Covid-19 deaths, old adults ________

A. have more time to do exercise

B. don't have so many responsibilities in life

C. no longer want to work

D. are driven into improving their health

Question 27. According to doctors, ________ are suitable to be done at home during lockdowns. 

A. light activities

B. moderate intensity activities

C. high intensity activities

D. none of the listed activities

Question 28. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Why older people tend to do more physical activities after the pandemic lockdowns. 

B. How the pandemic is changing old people's exercise habits.

C. What was the most affected age group when the lockdown measures were used. 

D. What are the appropriate activities to do at home during the pandemic lockdowns.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions from 24 to 28. (1.25 points)

In the past, the generation gap was quite distinct, with significant differences between older and younger generations in terms of values, beliefs, and lifestyles. Traditional values and conservative attitudes often dominated older generations, while younger generations sought more freedom, independence, and social change. Communication between generations was often limited, resulting in misunderstandings and conflicts.

However, in the present, the generation gap has undergone some transformations. With advancements in technology and rapid societal changes, the gap has narrowed in certain aspects. Today, older and younger generations have more opportunities to connect and understand each other.

One major factor contributing to this change is the influence of technology. Older generations have become more tech-savvy, embracing smartphones, social media, and other digital platforms. This has opened up new avenues for communication and sharing experiences between generations. Additionally, younger generations have become more open to learning from the wisdom and experiences of their elders.

Moreover, there is a growing recognition of the importance of intergenerational dialogue and understanding. Efforts are being made to bridge the gap through initiatives such as intergenerational activities, mentorship programs, and family bonding experiences. These initiatives foster mutual respect, empathy, and appreciation for the unique perspectives and contributions of each generation.

While some differences still exist, the present generation gap is characterized more by a blend of traditional values and modern ideas. Older generations can learn from the enthusiasm and fresh perspectives of the younger generation, while the younger generation can benefit from the wisdom and life experiences of their elders.

In conclusion, the generation gap has evolved over time, with greater opportunities for communication and understanding between older and younger generations. By embracing technology, fostering intergenerational dialogue, and acknowledging the value of different perspectives, we can bridge the gap and foster harmony in our families, communities, and society as a whole.
