The Quiet Revolution of Urban Rewilding

For decades, city planners treated green space as little more than decoration: neat lawns, (11) ___ clipped hedges and the occasional flowerbed. Today, a growing number of cities are embracing 'rewilding', allowing parks and roadside verges to return to a more natural state. To some residents, the results look (12) ___ untidy; to ecologists, they represent a long-overdue correction.

The case for rewilding rests largely on biodiversity. Mown grass offers almost no food or shelter, whereas long grass and wildflowers support an (13) ___ variety of insects, birds and small mammals. Researchers in several European cities have recorded a marked (14) ___ of pollinators within just two or three seasons.

Yet the approach is not without its critics. Some argue that its benefits have been (15) ___, pointing out that a few unmown verges can hardly compensate for the wholesale destruction of habitats elsewhere. Others raise concerns about (16) ___ behaviour, claiming that overgrown areas can feel unsafe after dark.

Supporters counter that such objections are largely a matter of perception. Clear signs explaining the purpose of a project, they say, can transform a patch of (17) ___ wilderness into something residents take pride in. Indeed, where local people have been involved from the outset, public (18) ___ has typically been high.

What is perhaps most striking is the (19) ___ of the change. It requires no expensive machinery, simply the decision to do less. In an age of ever-tightening budgets, that may prove the most (20) ___ argument of all.

  1. Gap 11 (IMMACULATE): neat lawns, _____ clipped hedges and the occasional flowerbed

  2. Gap 12 (DISTURB): the results look _____ untidy

  3. Gap 13 (ASTONISH): support an _____ variety of insects, birds and small mammals

  4. Gap 14 (RESURGE): recorded a marked _____ of pollinators

  5. Gap 15 (STATE): its benefits have been _____, pointing out that a few unmown verges can hardly compensate

  6. Gap 16 (SOCIAL): concerns about _____ behaviour

  7. Gap 17 (NEGLECT): a patch of _____ wilderness

  8. Gap 18 (APPROVE): public _____ has typically been high

  9. Gap 19 (SIMPLE): the _____ of the change

  10. Gap 20 (COMPEL): the most _____ argument of all

Notas para el profesor

Use la Parte 1 como calentamiento, la Parte 2 como práctica con el formato de la tarea de word formation del Use of English del CPE y la Parte 3 para comprobar si el alumnado distingue formas que se confunden. El test se centra en errores frecuentes en niveles avanzados, como sufijos inventados (disapprovement), el prefijo negativo equivocado (inreconcilable) o la confusión dentro de una misma familia léxica (neglected vs negligent, historic vs historical). Como actividad de seguimiento, pida a los alumnos que escriban sus propias frases con los distractores que sí existen, como negligible, compulsive y perceptiveness.
