Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Cities Get Clean by Going Green

When people hear the word “city”, they usually imagine concrete, neon signs, and lots of air pollution. Thanks to some clever and concerned architects, this image is starting to change. The concept of green cities aims to bring some beauty from rural environments into urban areas. It is not only about looking better though. Green cities are also trying to improve the efficiency of cities and raise the standard of living for people who stay in them.

The term “green cities” refers to cities where builders take into account several environmental factors before that city is constructed or redesigned. For starters, green cities are designed to be more physically appealing than traditional cities from the past. In addition, the mobility of citizens should be considered, so public transportation can be more convenient and travel time to work can be reduced. Energy sources should also be evaluated with the goal of minimizing air pollution.

When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time. Since 1859, its designers have consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs. Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved makeover before hosting the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation system. This has reduced air pollution as more and more workers are using public transportation instead of their own vehicles. Barcelona also boasts one of the best recycling programmes in the world. Visitors
will find clear, colour-coded trash bins throughout the city where they can put all of their materials.
 

It is no secret in Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the US. Since 1903, it has been an example of what American cities can accomplish with careful planning. Instead of filling its area with office buildings, Portland has plenty of green space for activities. There are 119 kilometres of running, hiking, and bike trails that allow citizens to experience the great outdoors. The city also offers residents creative energy plans that give them the opportunity to pay a bit extra for clean energy sources. For about $3 to $9 extra each month, homeowners can choose solar or wind power and help the environment.
 

These are only a small sampling of the green cities around .the world. As more people experience the pleasure of visiting green cities, it seems certain that the trend of urban areas going green will continue far into the future.

Question 38: All of the following are true about Barcelona EXCEPT that ...............
A. visitors can put all the trash in one colourful trash bin
B. more people have used public transportation
C. air pollution has been reduced
D. it is said by some to have one of the best recycling programmes in the world
 

Question 39: What does the term “mobility” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. how much money tourists spend

B. the opinions of people
C. how visitors move around

D. the feelings visitors have
 

Question 40: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ...............
A. some dustbins in the city

B. those who run the city
C. people who collect dustbins

D. people who want to throw out trash
 

Question 41: Which of the following people would most enjoy living in Portland?
A. Someone who likes to work in tall buildings

B. Someone who doesn’t mind air pollution
C. Someone who want cheap energy solutions

D. Someone who enjoys exercising outside

Question 42: How does the author seem to feel about the future of green cities?
A. Green cities are too expensive to build in most countries.
B. Few people have interest in living in a green city.
C. The best green cities in the world are in North America.
D. We should continue to see more green cities being built each year.
 

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
 

Because geologists have long indicated that fossil fuels will not last indefinitely, the U.S government finally acknowledged that sooner or later other energy sources would be needed and, as a result, turned its attention to nuclear power. It was anticipated that nuclear power plants could supply electricity in such large amounts and so inexpensively that they would be integrated into an economy in which electricity would take over virtually all fuel-generating functions at nominal cost. Thus, the government subsidized
the promotion of commercial nuclear power plants and authorized their construction by utility companies. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the public accepted the notion of electricity being generated by nuclear power plants in or near residential areas. By 1975, 54 plants were fully operational, supplying 11 percent of the nation’s electricity, and another 167 plants were at various stages of planning and construction. Officials estimated that by 1990 hundreds of plants would be on line, and by the turn of the century as many as 1000 plants would be in working order.
 

Since 1975, this outlook and this estimation have changed drastically, and many utilizes have cancelled existing orders. In some cases, construction was terminated even after billions of dollars had already been invested. After being completed and licensed at a cost of almost $6 billion, the Shoreham Power Plant on Long Island was turned over to the state of New York to be dismantled without ever having generated electric power. The reason was that residents and state authorities deemed that there was no possibility of evacuating residents from the area should an accident occur. Just 68 of those plants under way in 1975 have been completed, and another 3 are still under construction. Therefore, it appears that in the mid1990s 124 nuclear power plants in the nation will be in operation, generating about 18 percent of the nation’s electricity, a figure that will undoubtedly decline as relatively outdated plants are shut down.
 

Question 43: What was initially planned for the nation’s fuel supply in the 1950s and in the early 1960s?
A. Expansion and renovation of existing fuel-generating plants
B. Creation of additional storage capacities for fossil fuels
C. Conversion of the industry and the economy to nuclear power
D. Development of an array of alternative fuel and power sources
Question 44: How does the author describe the attitude of the population in regard to nuclear power as fuel in the early to the mid 1970s?
A. Apprehensive

B. Ambivalent

C. Receptive

D. Resentful
 

Question 45: In line 5, the word “nominal” is closet in meaning to ...............
A. so-called

B. minimal

C. exorbitant

D. inflated
 

Question 46: In line 7, the word “notion” is closet in meaning to ...............
A. nonsense

B. notice

C. idea

D. consequence
 

Question 47: In line 13, the phrase “this outlook” refers to ...............
A. the number of operating nuclear plants
B. the expectation for increase in the number of nuclear plants
C. the possibility of generating electricity at nuclear installations
D. the forecast for the capacity of the nuclear plants
 

Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that government officials made a critical error in
judgment by ...............
A. disregarding the low utility of nuclear power plants
B. relying on inferior materials and faulty plant design
C. overlooking the possibility of a meltdown, however remote
D. locating installation in densely wooded areas
 

Question 49: In line 14, the word “terminated” is closet in meaning to ...............
A. delayed

B. stopped

C. kept going

D. conserved

Question 50: The author of the passage implies that the construction of new nuclear power plants ...............
A. is continuing on a smaller scale
B. is being geared for greater safety
C. has been completely halted for fear of disaster
D. has been decelerated but not terminated
