READING COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.

The concept of smart cities has emerged as a promising solution to rapid urbanization and environmental degradation. By integrating advanced digital technology into urban infrastructure, these cities aim to enhance the quality of life, optimize energy consumption, and manage public resources more effectively. In such cities, modern sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices continuously collect and analyze data on traffic flow, air pollution, and municipal power distribution.

One remarkable advantage of smart urban planning is the radical reduction in traffic congestion. Smart traffic signals adjust their timing automatically according to real-time road conditions, allowing public buses and emergency vehicles to navigate through intersections quickly. Furthermore, autonomous electric vehicles and underground public transit systems are widely promoted, which remarkably cuts greenhouse gas emissions. As a consequence, urban dwellers enjoy better respiratory health and save countless hours previously lost in traffic jams.

In addition to mobility, environmental sustainability stands at the core of future cities. Buildings are designed to be energy-efficient with solar panels, smart glass windows, and rooftop greenery that regulates indoor temperatures naturally. Smart grids instantly detect power leakages and redistribute surplus energy from local renewable sources. However, the transformation into a smart city is not without hurdles. High initial investment costs and potential cybersecurity threats pose significant challenges that urban planners must address carefully.

Câu 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a feature of smart cities?

A. Sensors collecting data on air quality.

B. Underground public transport systems.

C. Rooftop gardens regulating indoor temperatures.

D. Free electric vehicles for every household.

A. waste

B. improve

C. prevent

D. ignore

Câu 25. The word "hurdles" in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______.

A. obstacles

B. advantages

C. difficulties

D. problems

Câu 26. The word "which" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

A. the reduction in traffic congestion

B. the adjustment of smart traffic lights

C. the promotion of autonomous electric vehicles and underground transit

D. the count of hours saved by urban dwellers

Câu 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2: "Smart traffic signals adjust their timing automatically according to real-time road conditions."?

A. Road conditions dictate traffic signals to be manually operated by police officers.

B. Traffic lights change their schedule on their own depending on immediate road traffic.

C. Drivers must adjust their travel schedules to match smart traffic signals on the road.

D. Traffic signals change at fixed intervals regardless of how busy the roads are.

Câu 28. According to paragraph 2, how do smart traffic signals assist public buses and emergency vehicles?

A. By alerting drivers to take alternative rural routes.

B. By giving them priority through automated timing adjustments.

C. By providing free electricity at charging stations.

D. By prohibiting private cars from entering the intersections.

Câu 29. According to paragraph 3, what can smart grids do?

A. Produce unlimited renewable energy for all citizens.

B. Replace all solar panels on public buildings.

C. Detect power leakages and reallocate excess renewable power.

D. Completely eliminate any cybersecurity threat.

Câu 30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Smart cities have already solved all cybersecurity issues.
