3. Read three texts about cities of the future. What solutions to city problems do they describe?

1 In the future cities waste will be used to produce energy. This technology is already used nowadays. For example, in Singapore a lot of waste is burned. It is enough to power 900 houses every day. In the future, even more energy will be produced in this way. Some of the waste will be recycled into building blocks, so in the future, houses will be built from rubbish! Plastic will be banned because it does a lot of harm to the environment. New biodegradable [baɪəʊdɪˈɡreɪdəbl] (разлагаемые / раскладальныя) materials will be invented.

2 There are several possible solutions to the problem of traffic. City traffic will definitely be controlled by smart technology. For example, traffic lights will be changed automatically based on the amount of traffic and cars will communicate with each other to avoid traffic jams. New kinds of public transport will be created. Right now Elon Musk is working on a Hyperloop technology with the help of which passengers will be carried in pods (капсулы / капсулы) through the tubes at a speed of over 700 mph. So in 50 years cars will not be allowed into the centre of the city.

3 The problem of crowded cities will be solved by improving suburban areas, surrounding the cities. The suburbs will become independent of cities. The areas will be developed to include all possible things that people need, such as entertainment, parks, office buildings, hospitals, and shopping malls. Most work will be done from home or online, so people won't have to go to the city centre. In such neighbourhoods cars won't be needed at all as residents will be able to walk to all facilities.

3. Прочитайте три текста о городах будущего. Какие решения городских проблем они описывают?

Ответ:

1 The text describes solutions to the waste problem. Waste will be used to produce energy and recycled into building blocks. Plastic will be banned, and new biodegradable materials will be invented.

2 The text describes solutions to the traffic problem. City traffic will be controlled by smart technology, with communicating cars and automatic traffic lights. New kinds of public transport, like the Hyperloop, will be created, and cars will be banned from the city centre.

3 The text describes a solution to the problem of crowded cities. Suburban areas will be improved to become independent of cities. They will include all necessary facilities, so people will work from home and walk everywhere, which means cars will not be needed.

Перевод:

1 В тексте описываются решения проблемы отходов. Отходы будут использоваться для производства энергии и перерабатываться в строительные блоки. Пластик будет запрещен, и будут изобретены новые биоразлагаемые материалы.

2 В тексте описываются решения проблемы дорожного движения. Городское движение будет контролироваться с помощью умных технологий, с автомобилями, общающимися между собой, и автоматическими светофорами. Будут созданы новые виды общественного транспорта, такие как Hyperloop, а въезд автомобилей в центр города будет запрещен.

3 В тексте описывается решение проблемы перенаселенности городов. Пригородные районы будут усовершенствованы, чтобы стать независимыми от городов. Они будут включать всю необходимую инфраструктуру, поэтому люди будут работать из дома и ходить везде пешком, а значит, автомобили не понадобятся.
