For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape They provide a place for people to relaxand play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city What people often overlook is that parks alsoprovide considerable environmental benefits One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide - a key pollutant - andemit oxygen, which humans need to breathe According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbondioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving Parks also make cities cooler Scientists have long noted what is
called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal, concrete, and asphalt absorb much more of the sun’s
heat and release it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass Because city landscapes contain so much of
these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas Parks and other green spaces help to mitigate
the Urban Heat Island Effect
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings, roads,parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment However, cities could benefit from many of the positiveeffects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens While most people would notthink of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years Somerooftop gardens are very complex and require complicated engineering, but others are simple container gardens that anyonecan create with the investment of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban park and garden spaces, but without taking up the needed land Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in the air with nourishing oxygen They also help to
much-lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect, which can save people money In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from
absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills In the winter, gardens help hold in the heat thatmaterials like brick and concrete radiate so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills Rooftop vegetable and herb gardenscan also provide fresh food for city dwellers, saving them money and making their diets healthier Rooftop gardens are notonly something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment
Question 6: Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that 'mitigate' belongs to which of the following word groups?
A exacerbate, aggravate, intensify B obliterate, destroy, annihilate
C absorb, intake, consume D allay, alleviate, reduce
Question 7: The author’s tone in the passage is best described as

For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape They provide a place for people to relaxand play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city What people often overlook is that parks alsoprovide considerable environmental benefits One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide - a key pollutant - andemit oxygen, which humans need to breathe According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbondioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving Parks also make cities cooler Scientists have long noted what is
called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal, concrete, and asphalt absorb much more of the sun’s
heat and release it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass Because city landscapes contain so much of
these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas Parks and other green spaces help to mitigate
the Urban Heat Island Effect
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings, roads,parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment However, cities could benefit from many of the positiveeffects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens While most people would notthink of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years Somerooftop gardens are very complex and require complicated engineering, but others are simple container gardens that anyonecan create with the investment of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban park and garden spaces, but without taking up the needed land Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in the air with nourishing oxygen They also help to
much-lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect, which can save people money In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from
absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills In the winter, gardens help hold in the heat thatmaterials like brick and concrete radiate so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills Rooftop vegetable and herb gardenscan also provide fresh food for city dwellers, saving them money and making their diets healthier Rooftop gardens are notonly something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment
Question 44: Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that

Trang 12A some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens
B most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens
C most people prefer life in the country over life in the city

B promised vacation getaways to cooler destinations for those trapped in the city at the peak of summer
C permitted the construction of buildings in city park land provided they have rooftop gardens
D extended discounts on plants to customers who use them to create rooftop gardens
Question 47: According to the author, one advantage that rooftop gardens have over parks is that they
A replenish the air with nourishing oxygen B do not require the use of valuable urban land
C decrease the Urban Heat Island Effect D are less expensive than traditional pEirk spaces
Question 48: Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that 'mitigate' belongs to which of the following word groups?
