II) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

HEALTH ACROSS GENERATIONS: MORE IN COMMON THAN WE THINK

People often think that there is a large generation gap in attitudes towards health. Younger adults are often seen as more independent and interested in new fitness trends and technology, while older people are usually connected with more traditional habits. However, these ideas may be too simple. Although different generations may follow different routines, they often share the same basic values, especially the wish to stay healthy and enjoy a good quality of life.

Research into long life provides useful evidence. People living in Blue Zones do not usually depend only on hard exercise programmes. Instead, regular physical activity is a natural part of their daily lives. Walking, gardening and doing household tasks help them stay strong and active as they get older. [I] Their diets also often include healthy plant-based foods, and they usually avoid eating too much. [II] Younger people may work toward the same goals by going to gyms, using fitness apps or following planned diets. [III] However, the main idea is similar: healthy habits over a long period are more important than trends that last only a short time. [IV]

Health is not only about the body. Strong family relationships can provide emotional support, reduce loneliness and improve mental health. Younger family members may share new ideas about exercise or technology, while older relatives can share useful ways of dealing with stress and keeping healthy routines. Such exchanges show that both younger and older people can learn from each other.

However, the media can sometimes make differences between generations seem larger than they really are. Stories about disagreement often attract more attention than stories about cooperation. Understanding what generations have in common and encouraging them to learn from each other may therefore help reduce the generation gap and allow families to live healthier lives together.

Question 6. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE about different generations?

Question 7. According to paragraph 2, everyday activities in Blue Zones can help people ______.

Question 8. Which of the following is NOT GIVEN in the passage?

Question 9. The phrase "a short time" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 10. Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
"Although their methods may look different, both groups want to stay healthy in the long term."

Question 11. Which of the following best paraphrases the idea "both younger and older people can learn from each other" in paragraph 3?

Question 12. The phrase "Such exchanges" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

Question 13. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?

Question 14. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

Question 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

III) Read the passage and mark A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each question from 16 to 23.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF A SMART CITY

Cities are increasingly using digital systems to manage transport, energy and public services. Supporters argue that these systems can make urban life more convenient. Real-time travel information, for example, may help commuters choose quicker routes, while sensors can help authorities identify where energy is being wasted. Yet a city does not become smart merely by installing more technology. If residents still face polluted air, unreliable buses or unaffordable accommodation, impressive digital tools may do little to improve their daily lives.

This is especially important when planners decide where to invest. A new transport application may benefit people who already have frequent buses, but residents of an outer neighbourhood may gain more from an additional bus route. Similarly, a high-tech office district can attract attention, while less visible improvements such as safer pavements or additional green space may have a greater effect on quality of life. The best solution therefore depends on the problem a community actually faces.

Public opinion also matters. Younger residents who have grown up with digital services may adapt quickly, whereas some older people may prefer familiar ways of accessing information. It would be a mistake, however, to treat this difference as proof that one generation supports progress and another rejects it. A person who requests a staffed service point may simply want a dependable alternative when an application fails or when a phone is unavailable.

Good planning therefore requires both innovation and judgement. Renewable energy, connected transport and digital public services can contribute to a sustainable city, but technology should support rather than replace essential infrastructure. A truly smart city is one that chooses tools because they solve real problems and ensures that different neighbourhoods can benefit from them.

Question 16. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?

Question 17. The phrase "gain more from" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 19. The word "this difference" in paragraph 3 refers to the difference in ______.

Question 20. What can be inferred about investment in an additional bus route for an outer neighbourhood?

Question 21. Why does the writer mention a person requesting a staffed service point?

Question 22. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2?

Question 23. Which statement best reflects the writer's viewpoint?
