    Lisbon, which has been the capital of Portugal since 1252, is both beautiful and historic. Today, visitors can spend their time walking across Lisbon's beautiful squares, exploring the city's narrow streets and wide range of shopping opportunities - from high-end designer shops to market stalls. Or, they can simply sit in the wonderful cafés and restaurants which serve great local food.  

    Lisbon is rich in ancient cultural delights. Under the busy shopping area in the city centre, there is a hidden network of 2,000-year-old Roman rooms. If history is your passion, Lisbon certainly won't disappoint. There are many other places to visit: the Gulbenkian Museum, the 16th century Jeronimos Monastery, the Castle of St George, and the wonderful Alfama district, with its lively eateries and traditional Fado music.

    If you are hoping to travel around and see more of the city, there are various options. You might like to jump on the old tram system, which has been in use from 1873, or go on a bike tour of the city or a river cruise. You could also visit the zoo, the modern Pavilion of Knowledge, which is Lisbon's own interactive science museum, or one of the largest indoor aquariums in Europe, the Oceanarium.  

    Lisbon is one of the few European cities lucky enough to be so close to sandy beaches, which are rarely overcrowded, except perhaps in August. However, it's not just a summer destination either. Lisbon has one of the mildest climates of any European cities, making it good to visit all year around.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

    [I] Urbanization is growing very quickly in developing countries, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, where millions of people are leaving rural areas to settle in cities. [II] Many of these people move because they hope to find better-paying jobs in factories, offices, or construction, which are often more available in urban areas. [III] Others come to cities for better education opportunities, like schools and universities, which can help their children have a brighter future. Access to healthcare is another big reason - cities usually have more hospitals and doctors than villages, making it easier for families to stay healthy. [IV]

    Cities offer many opportunities. For example, in India, cities like Mumbai and Delhi have grown because they provide work in factories, offices, and technology companies. People also enjoy better schools, hospitals, and transportation, like buses and trains. However, this rapid growth creates big challenges. Many cities become overcrowded, and there aren’t enough houses for everyone. This leads to slums - poor areas with no clean water, electricity, or good roads. Traffic jams and pollution also get worse as more cars and factories fill the air with smoke and noise.

    Another problem is how cities expand into rural areas. When cities grow, they often take over farmland, leaving less space for farming. This can make food more expensive and harder to find. For instance, in Nairobi, Kenya, urban areas have spread quickly, but not all neighborhoods have enough services like clean water or waste management. Some areas also face flooding because of poor planning and too much concrete, which stops rainwater from soaking into the ground.

    Experts say urban planning is key to solving these problems. Governments need to build more affordable housing, improve roads, and create green spaces like parks. Using clean energy, such as solar power, can reduce pollution. In some cities, like Seoul, South Korea, officials have used land-use plans to manage growth carefully, balancing new buildings with nature. Community groups also play a role by mapping needs and working with leaders to provide better services.

    Urbanization won’t stop, but it can be managed better. Cities should grow in a way that’s sustainable - meaning they’re good for people and the environment. If leaders plan well, urbanization can bring progress without harming the planet or leaving people behind. It’s a big challenge, but with the right actions, cities can become better places for everyone.
