THE FUTURE OF CITIES
Recently, the World Health Organisation (26) _______ a report predicting that 9.8 billion of us will be
living on this planet by 2050. Of that number, 72% will be living in urban areas - a higher proportion than
ever before. Presented with this information, governments have a duty to consider how best to meet the (27)
_______ of city residents, and not just for the short-term. Certain problems associated with urban living have
been highlighted by research company Richmond-Carver in its latest global survey. At the top of the list,
survey respondents' concerns is the fact that competition amongst tenants for rental properties has driven the
median price up - so much so people (28) _______ to hold down two or more jobs to meet all their expenses.
Another issue the survey highlighted is the difficulty commuters face. Overcrowding means that seats
are often not available on long journeys, but more significant is that schedules are unreliable. Lately, many
studies have displayed the effect that has on a country's productivity. Something the survey failed to ask
about was the value people placed on having access to nature in urban neighborhoods. (29) _______, some

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions. (1.4 points)
Sometimes our parents don't understand some problems and things which are very important in teens'
life; for example, the lifestyles, piercing, tattoos, drugs, sex, relationship with friends and teachers. So,
sometimes teens can't tell them about their private life. Some parents don't want to understand modern views,
ideals and system of values.
Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth with the present, and regard old times as
better, always talking about "the good old days”. The young people, however, tend to think their times as the
best. Teens look at the world with fresh eyes. Everything is new, interesting to them. Sometimes they cannot
solve their everyday problems. But they want to cope with them by themselves. So, adults shouldn't prevent
them from making their own mistakes.
People are said to become wiser with age. Sometimes, it is true and sometimes it is not. You can meet
a wise man among the old as often as among the young. It is false that when old age wisdom has come,
useless illusions have disappeared. Sometimes when we talk to adults, a monologue is a preferred form of
expressing your ideas. That's why some teens don't like to talk to adults.
I think that it's in people's nature to give advice. It seems to people that giving advice they can help
or put somebody on the right track. But if a person takes their advice and fails, he can blame an adult all of
his life.
Our parents have their own ideas and views that their children don't share and understand. They think
that their children won't find their place in life. But children should settle all problems peacefully because
they are their parents. And if children come to their parents for advice and help, they will help children cope
with problems and difficulties.
Question 31. The passage mainly discusses ______
A. how difficult it is for teenagers to communicate with adults
B. how to improve communication between teens and adults
C. causes of troubles in relationships between teens and adults
D. solutions to problems in relationships between teens and adults

B. The young are often as wise as the old
C. Teenagers find everything interesting to them.
D. Youngsters want to deal with their problems themselves.
Question 34. The phrase "cope with" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. do B. experience C. stop D. manage

A. It is not always true that a person's wisdom grows with his/her age.
