Cities are searching for cleaner ways to move large numbers of people. Urban cycling can help because bicycles take up little road space, produce no exhaust while being ridden, and are relatively inexpensive. Successful cycling systems usually combine protected lanes, secure bicycle parking, and public bike-sharing. Without these elements, participation may remain limited or even decline.
Commuters often choose bicycles when short journeys become safer and more predictable. Their decisions are influenced by the cost of public transport, the distance to work, and whether they can connect cycling with trains or buses. When cities allow bicycles on public transport or provide parking at stations, more people can complete part of a longer trip by bike.
Cycling is not a complete solution. Bad weather, unsafe junctions, and unequal access to bicycles can prevent some residents from taking part. There is also a risk that new lanes will serve central districts while outer neighbourhoods receive little investment.
Digital maps now show low-traffic routes, and sensors can help planners identify dangerous locations. Such tools make information more accessible to riders and officials. However, technology can support cycling only when it is combined with safe street design, fair investment, and clear traffic rules.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. secure bicycle parking
B. free car ownership
C. public bike-sharing
D. protected cycling lanes

[I] Cities are often warmer than nearby rural areas because dark surfaces absorb heat and buildings restrict airflow. [II] Trees can reduce local temperatures by providing shade and releasing water vapour. [III] Their effect is strongest when healthy trees are distributed across streets, schools, and housing areas. [IV]
Several factors determine where urban trees survive. Young trees need water, suitable soil, and protection from traffic damage. They also require enough underground space for roots, which can be difficult to provide beside pipes and pavements.
The effects of unequal tree cover can be far-reaching. Hotter neighbourhoods may experience greater health risks and higher cooling costs, while residents without shaded routes may avoid walking. Planting programmes that focus only on attractive central areas can widen these differences.
Urban forestry is therefore more than a one-day planting event. A thorough plan must include species selection, long-term maintenance, community input, and protection against unnecessary removal. Only by considering both environmental and social conditions can cities create durable shade.

Urban forestry is therefore more than a one-day planting event. A thorough plan must include species selection, long-term maintenance, community input, and protection against unnecessary removal. Only by considering both environmental and social conditions can cities create durable shade.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The passage says that one simple action can solve every issue connected with urban trees and heat.
B. The passage claims that long-term planning is unnecessary.
C. Tree planting without long-term maintenance may fail to provide lasting shade.
D. The passage recommends making decisions without evidence or local input.

[I] Cities are often warmer than nearby rural areas because dark surfaces absorb heat and buildings restrict airflow. [II] Trees can reduce local temperatures by providing shade and releasing water vapour. [III] Their effect is strongest when healthy trees are distributed across streets, schools, and housing areas. [IV]
Several factors determine where urban trees survive. Young trees need water, suitable soil, and protection from traffic damage. They also require enough underground space for roots, which can be difficult to provide beside pipes and pavements.
The effects of unequal tree cover can be far-reaching. Hotter neighbourhoods may experience greater health risks and higher cooling costs, while residents without shaded routes may avoid walking. Planting programmes that focus only on attractive central areas can widen these differences.

Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence “Only by considering both environmental and social conditions can cities create durable shade.”?
A. The issue can be solved only by ignoring environmental and social information.
B. The passage argues that cooperation makes the situation worse.
C. No planning is needed because the desired result will occur automatically.
D. Cities can achieve lasting shade only when they address ecological needs and community fairness together.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Tree programmes should prioritise underserved hot neighbourhoods as well as visible city centres.
B. Short-term publicity is more important than long-term results.
C. All communities face exactly the same conditions related to urban trees and heat.
D. Local knowledge should always be rejected in favour of a single universal plan.

Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. The passage argues that urban trees and heat is entirely harmful and should always be stopped.
B. The passage focuses only on one minor technical detail of urban trees and heat and ignores wider impacts.
C. Urban trees can reduce heat, but successful and fair programmes require suitable sites, continued care, and equitable planning.
D. The passage claims that technology automatically removes the need for planning, fairness, and maintenance.
