Read the text and choose the best answer to fill in the blanks.
For Nigel Portman, a love of traveling began with what’s called a ‘gap year’. Like many other British teenagers, he chose to take a year out before to study for his degree.
After doing various jobs to raise some money, he left home to gain some experience of life in different cultures, visiting America and Asia. The more adventurous the young person, the the challenge they are likely to set themselves for the gap year, and for some, like Nigel, it can result a thirst for adventure.
his university course has come to an end, Nigel is just about to leave on a three-year trip that will take him right around the world. What’s more, he plans to make the whole journey using only means of transport which are powered by natural energy. In other words, he’ll be relying mostly on bicycles and his own legs. And when there’s an ocean to cross, he won’t be taking a cut by climbing aboard a plane, he’ll be joining the crew of a sailing ship instead.
As well as doing some mountain climbing and other outdoor pursuits along the way, Nigel hopes to pass on to the people he meets the environmental message that lies behind the whole idea.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Since the birth of the car in 1886, transport in big cities has changed a lot. It is no wonder many experts think that there will be extraordinary changes in the next few decades.
As technology develops, highways, skylines, subways will be all transformed. Smarter roadways and highways in cities outfitted with loT sensors will process all kinds of data in real time and inform users of the best transport options. Weather, crashes, traffic conditions will be communicated to users and smart stops will be found everywhere providing renewable energy, green hydrogen or even greener energy, ensuring efficiency and safety on every highway. Tunnels will also be a smart choice because of the reduction of traffic congestion. Underground roads will be built in 3D with a lift system which will take vehicles deep underground and will allow traffic to attain the greatest speed without intersections.
There will also be innovations in the sky. Air taxis are not a new idea, but in the future they will be completely environment-friendly. Aviation gasoline will be no longer used. Green energy will be in place and cost-effective air taxis will enable people to travel from one busy urban city to another in record time.
New technologies such as Al and the rollout of 5G will pave the way for fully autonomous innovation. Cars will not be the only thing to go autonomous. Freight trucks, cargo vehicles, air taxis will all benefit from this technology and that is why the term 'driver' will become extinct.
Transport will go green. Electric or hydrogen power will be mainstream. There will still be issues to solve such as safety, speed and cost, and of course governments will need to make new traffic laws.
