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.

  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

Notes pour l’enseignant

Utilisez la partie 1 comme échauffement, la partie 2 comme entraînement au format de l'épreuve de formation des mots du CPE (Use of English) et la partie 3 pour vérifier que les élèves distinguent bien les formes proches. Le test cible des erreurs fréquentes à un niveau avancé : suffixes inventés (disapprovement), mauvais préfixe négatif (inreconcilable) et confusions au sein d'une même famille de mots (neglected vs negligent, historic vs historical). En prolongement, demandez aux élèves de rédiger leurs propres phrases avec les distracteurs qui existent réellement, comme negligible, compulsive et perceptiveness.
