Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Twenty years ago, people tried to leave the suburbs for cities but nowadays many people are reluctant to make such a move. They say
that compared to suburban areas, city life has many drawbacks.
The high cost of living is the first disadvantage. The bigger the city is, the higher the living cost is. Accommodation and petrol are
expensive. Food and drinks are also pricey. Apart from that, city people seem to suffer from more noise and air pollution. The densely
populated neighbourhoods, busy traffic, and big construction sites make cities noisy and dusty. These are harmful to people’s health,
such as increasing their stress levels, disturbing their sleep and making them suffer from breathing problems.
Lack of space is another drawback of city life. House prices are high in the city, so people tend to live in smaller houses or in apartment
blocks. Many cities lack spaces for outdoor activities; therefore, teenagers often hang out at shopping malls or in entertainment
complexes instead of doing sports outdoors.
The cities’ authorities are trying to overcome these problems. However, they still have a long way to go before they can reduce living
costs and pollution and increase green space to make all cities in the world more livable places.
Question 46. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reasons for moving to the suburbs. ​ ​ B. The disadvantages of city life.
C. The high cost of living in cities. ​​ ​ D. The causes of pollution in cities.
Question 47. Why does the author mention “accommodation, petrol, food, and drinks” in paragraph 2?
A. To give examples of high living costs. ​ ​ B. To explain how convenient city life is.
C. To describe what city people often lack. ​ ​ D. To suggest city people save money.
Question 48. What does the word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. bad effects ​ ​ B. stress levels​ ​ C. city people ​ ​ D. construction sites
Question 49. According to the passage, teenagers often hang out at shopping malls because _____.
A. they find shopping malls interesting ​ ​ B. they have few places outdoor to play
C. they prefer them to entertainment complexes ​ D. their houses are too small
Question 50. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about city authorities?
A. They are trying to find solutions to city problems.
B. They all want to solve problems for all the world’s cities.
C. They hope to lower the costs of living in cities.

London is a thriving commercial and cultural centre with many significant financial organisations such as the Bank of England and the
London Stock Exchange. They are located in the area called the city. Docklands, the former port in east London, has been redeveloped as
a business centre. The West End boasts theatres, cinemas, museums, and stores. Due to the high cost of housing near the city centre,
many people working in London prefer to live in the suburbs and commute to work by train or bus. London’s transportation system is
well-connected, with various modes of transportation available, including the red London buses, black taxi cabs, and the London
Underground, commonly known as ‘the Tube’!
London is now a cosmopolitan, multicultural city which has attracted people from around the globe. Although some people from other
parts of Britain view it as very noisy and dirty, many others visit London only for the ‘bright lights’ - the theatres round Shaftesbury
Avenue or the shops of Oxford Street. People also take their children to visit Buckingham Palace, where the royal family lives, and the
clock tower, from which Big Ben tells the hour. Young people, on the other hand, are lured to the pubs and comedy clubs of Covent
Garden, live music concerts, and the stalls of Camden market.
