Read the following passage about safer streets 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.
Walking is a great way to get around. For short trips, for exercise, or just for fun, walking can
be better than driving or riding. But in many cities, walking can also be dangerous . Cars, trucks,
and motorcycles are a danger to pedestrians, and sometimes there are accidents.
David Engwicht, from Brisbane, Australia, wants to do something about this. His book,
Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns, has a simple message: We need to take back our streets and
make them better places for walking.
In the past, Engwicht says, streets belonged to everybody. Children played there, and people
walked to work or to stores. Now, however, most city engineers design streets for vehicles.
People stay inside buildings to get away from the crowded sidewalks, the noisy streets, and
the dangerous traffic. Unfortunately, this gives them less contact with their neighbors.
Many cities are working to make their streets safer for pedestrians. There are new crosswalks on
the streets and more traffic lights and bicycle lanes. The city of Florence, Italy, only allows cars
and buses with special permits to drive on its historic city streets. In Boston, US, the Slow
Streets Program gives some neighborhoods more stop signs and a 20 mph (32 kph) speed limit.
Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets,
and neighborhoods. Whether we live in a small town or a city with a population in the millions,
Engwicht says we should think of streets as our “outdoor living room.” Changing the traffic is just the beginning.
In the future, streets may again be safe places for people, and walking will be an even better
form of transportation than it is now.
Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a method cities use to improve pedestrian safety?
A. Increasing the number of bicycle lanes.
B. Restricting certain vehicles in historic areas.
C. Expanding sidewalks to reduce crowding.
D. Adding more traffic lights on busy streets.
Question 24. The word dangerous in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ________. A. risky B. safe C. severe D. harmful
Question 25. The word them in paragraph 2 refers to ________. A. streets B. cities C. places D. towns
Question 26. The word permits in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by ________. A. warnings B. licenses C. restrictions D. fines
Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. People go indoors to escape the peaceful sidewalks and low traffic noise.
B. Due to traffic dangers and noise, people avoid crowded sidewalks by staying indoors.
C. Crowded sidewalks and noisy streets encourage people to spend more time walking.
D. Engineers design streets so that people feel safe and prefer being outdoors.
Question 28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Engwicht focuses mainly on reducing the speed of cars in neighborhoods.
B. Engwicht believes streets should bring communities together for better interaction.
C. Florence permits only bicycles on streets in historic areas of the city.
D. The Slow Streets Program in Boston applies to all major city streets.
Question 29. In which paragraph does the writer mention efforts to improve pedestrian safety? A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 1
Question 30. In which paragraph does the writer mention Engwicht’s efforts to change attitudes
toward streets and neighborhoods? A. Paragraph 4 B. Paragraph 1 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 2
Read the following passage about the urban shift 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.
'Ha Noi Then and Now' exhibition has attracted thousands of visitors this week. The pictures
have brought back childhood memories to old residents while helping younger generations see
how the city has changed over the years.
In the 'Then' hall, visitors can see pictures of 20th-century Ha Noi. Back in 1954, it was a small
city with a population of about 530,000 residents in an area of about 152 sq km. The capital's
famous Old Quarter or '36 old streets' dates back hundreds of years, with each street focusing on a different trade or craft.
[I] 'My parents couldn't afford a motorbike or car. Most residents used to get around by bicycle
or on foot,' said an 80-year-old visitor. [II] Trams, which began service in 1901, were a popular
means of public transport until 1991. [III] Buses were not very frequent then. [IV] People lived
and worked in low-rise buildings. The city was a fascinating mixture of French colonial
buildings and traditional Eastern architecture.
The 'Now' pictures show a modern city with a population of over 8 million people. Over the
years, the urban area has gradually expanded to over 3,000 sq km including many of the
surrounding villages. As rural residents move into Ha Noi, the government is providing more
affordable housing. More high-rise buildings have also been built. Ha Noi has improved its
transport infrastructure, building new roads and bridges. It is modernising bus services using
more electric ones. The Ha Noi Metro opened to the public in 2021 and is expected to include more lines by 2030.
However, urbanisation has created new problems. "As more people come to seek better job
opportunities, the city is getting more and more crowded. This has led to more traffic jams and
higher unemployment rates,' said a 21-year-old student. Air pollution is also causing concern among city residents. (Adapted from Bright)
