VI Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Today’s urban cities are practically bursting at the seams According to research from the United Nations, 54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a percentage that is expected to increase to over 66 percent
by 2050 In fact, India alone is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers to its population by 2050
This rapid growth of the urban population has caused daunting problems for city planners, such as overcrowded roads, excessive energy consumption and unemployment Therefore, to build more sustainable cities and
accommodate the growing number of residents, many city leaders are turning to the Internet of Things (IoT) The IoT has forever changed the way urban cities operate Cities that were once detached and inaccessible are now intelligent and highly connected From Amsterdam to Seoul, cities are launching smart city projects to help improve quality of life for residents and better support the environment According to research from IHS Technology, there will be at least 88 smart cities globally by 2025, up from 21 in 2013
San Francisco, for example, provides more than 100 charging stations in various locations to promote the use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions Copenhagen is also taking advantage of the IoT to improve environmental protection and reduce road traffic by developing smart bikes equipped with sensors that generate data on air contamination and traffic congestion
The possibilities afforded by the IoT are endless; however, designing smart cities requires comprehensive
technology infrastructure that is capable of capturing and processing large amounts of data quickly and securely - which is where 4G LTE comes into play
The future looks bright for urban cities Soon they will be able to do things that only sci-fi enthusiasts could dream
of before, like monitoring bridge conditions using intelligent sensors and conserving energy by automatically dimming street lights when no one is around
36 Today’s urban cities
A account for 66 percent of the world’s population
B have more 404 million dwellers by 2050

38 All of the following are the advantages of the IoT EXCEPT that
A cities around the world become more intelligent and connected
B we may improve quality of life and better support the environment
C the Internet of Things will be applied in several cities around the world
D the number of smart cities decreases but the quality is much better

A make transportation more eco-friendly and more convenient
B only allow the use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce pollution
C introduce smart bikes to escape air contamination and traffic congestion
D provide charging stations in various locations for cars and bikes
40 The potential of the IoT includes all of the following EXCEPT that
A things that only sci-fi enthusiasts could dream of before come true
B comprehensive technology infrastructure to support the IoT is endless
C intelligent sensors can help watch and check bridge conditions carefully
D energy conservation can be done by automatically controlling street lights
