II. READING ( 2.0 points)
PART 1. Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best option to fit each
numbered blank from 20 to 24.
The greenhouse effect is always reported as being a negative consequence of current human lifestyle
practices. However, there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of the
greenhouse effect.
A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world (20) improve
conditions for agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. (21) ,
they do not balance with overall negative impacts. The social, economic and ecological disorders
brought about by such climatic changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits.
The impacts of global warming and (22) change could become a source of increased tension
between nations and regions. While the developed, industrialized world is responsible for 75% of all
CO2 (23) , these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of
the world. For example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss
of valuable and populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have
emitted only a tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases.
The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where will
these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will (24) worsen
the already critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through
floods, droughts, crop failures and diseases brought about by this would lead to famines, wars and civil
disorder in many countries.

PART 2. 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 25 to 29.
Where smart cities were once regarded purely as a vision of the future, they are now becoming a
reality in numerous urban centres across the globe. From Dubai, Singapore, Amsterdam, Copenhagen,
and Madrid to Southampton in the UK, we’re already beginning to see smart cities provide inhabitants
with improved living conditions, easier mobility and cleaner, safer environments, by using cloud
computing to power services. But as with all public sector initiatives, smart city services need to be
delivered as cost effectively as possible to minimise the taxpayer burden. Often, key decision makers
are met with obstacles when it comes to deploying smart services, preventing smart cities initiatives
from reaching their full potential – or worse, blocking them altogether. Central to the functioning of
most ‘normal’ city ecosystems is the underlying data they run on.
Regardless as to whether that data is stored on local servers or using cloud storage, when that data
is fragmented or incomplete, identifying emerging trends for strategic planning and cost reduction
becomes extremely difficult – and because of this, authorities have to adopt an entirely reactive
approach. Conversely, in a smart city environment, connected sensors forming an Internet of Things
(IoT) provide valuable data for analysis and, in turn, insight into the specific city’s behavioural trends.
With this level of information, services can be optimised to reduce costs and risk, increase urban flows
and manage assets. Importantly, they can also provide real-time connections and interactions between
the city’s businesses, local governments, service providers and citizens.
In this way, operations and services are elevated through the integration and connection of physical
devices via IoT networks, ultimately transforming how a city runs.

that renewable energy is the key solution to global warming. Do you agree or disagree?” (1.0
point)
You can use the following ideas as cues:
Agree
- Renewable energy sources do not emit CO2,
significantly reducing the amount of greenhouse
gases.
- Renewable energies coming from natural sources
will never run out, reducing our dependence on
fossil fuels.
Disagree
- Large projects such as building hydropower dams
or wind farms can have negative impacts on
wildlife, ecosystems, and local communities.
- Solar panels and renewable energy devices have a
limited lifespan. Their disposal or recycling remains
challenging and poses a risk of pollution.
