Read the following passage about The Race to Transform Cities: A Sustainable Future and mark
the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following
questions from 23 to 30.
As urbanization continues to surge across the globe, cities are at the forefront of a major
transformation aimed at addressing the dual challenges ofrapid population growth and environmental
sustainability. Urban centers are increasingly turning to innovative solutions to create more livable,
efficient, and resilient environments. The "race" to transform cities is centered on the adoption of
green technologies, smart infrastructure, and sustainable urban planning. These efforts are not only
intended to improve the quality of life for urban residents but also to mitigate the impact of climate
change.
One key aspect of this transformation is the shift toward sustainable energy sources. Cities are
investing in renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, and introducing electric public
transportation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, urban planners are emphasizing the
creation of green spaces and the development of energy-efficient buildings, which are crucial in
reducing the environmental footprint of urban areas.
However, the transition toa sustainable urban future is not without significant obstacles. The
financial costs of implementing these technologies and the retrofitting of existing infrastructure
pose considerable challenges. Additionally, not all cities have the political will or resources to keep
pace with these changes. Despite these hurdles, some cities have already made notable strides,
setting examples for others to follow.
In conclusion, while the race to transform cities into sustainable urban hubs faces numerous
challenges, it represents a critical step toward achieving environmental resilience and improving
urban living conditions.

Read the following passage about the Living Green: Small Acts, Big Impact and mark the letter
A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
from 31 to 40.
In recent years, the urgency of environmental conservation has become undeniable[I]. Climate
change, air pollution, and the depletion of natural resources threaten ecosystems worldwide[II].
However, [III]. In fact, small, daily actions taken by individuals can tip the scales in favor of
substantial environmental improvements. The idea of 'living green' encourages us to adopt habits
that reduce our ecological footprint, ultimately making a significant difference over time[IV]
One of the most effective ways to live green is through reducing waste. Simple actions like recycling.
composting, or minimizing single-use plastics can lower the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
For example, carrying reusable shopping bags or using eco-friendly products not only helps decrease
plastic pollution but also promotesa culture of sustainability. In addition, conserving energy-such
as turning off lights when they are not needed or using energy-efficient appliances-further minimizes
our environmental impact.
Another critical component of green living is mindful consumption. Opting for locally sourced and
organic food reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and industrial farming. By
choosing these sustainable alternatives, we support environmental practices that prioritize soil
health, biodiversity, and ethical treatment of animals. Moreover, even small lifestyle choices like
reducing water consumption or supporting eco-friendly companies can have a significant ripple
effect.
Ultimately, the power to protect the environment lies in the hands of each individual. By making
small, conscious changes to our routines, we can create a larger impact than we might realize.
The key is consistency and a collective commitment to sustainability. Each act, no matter how small,
brings us one step closer to a greener, more sustainable world.
