For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits

One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide—a key pollutant—and emit oxygen, which humans need to breathe According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide 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 positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years Some rooftop gardens are very complex and require complicated engineering, but others are simple container gardens that anyone can 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 much-needed land Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in the air with nourishing oxygen They also help to 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 that materials like brick and concrete radiate so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city dwellers, saving them money and making their diets healthier Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment.

31: Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that mitigatebelongs to which of the following word groups?

A exacerbate, aggravate, intensify B obliterate, destroy, annihilate

32: Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that _.

A cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens

B some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens

C most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens

D most people prefer life in the country over life in the city

33: Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best describes the main difference between parks and rooftop gardens?

A Parks are expensive to create while rooftop gardens are not

B Parks are public while rooftop gardens are private

C Parks absorb heat while rooftop gardens do not

D Parks require much space while rooftop gardens do not

Trang 3

34: The author claims all of the following to be the benefits of rooftop gardens except _.

A increased space for private relaxation B savings on heating and cooling costs

C better food for city dwellers D improved air quality

35: According to the author, one advantage that rooftop gardens have over parks is that they _.

A decrease the Urban Heat Island Effect B replenish the air with nourishing oxygen

C do not require the use of valuable urban land D are less expensive than traditional park spaces 36: The author’s tone in the passage is best described as _

37: It can be inferred from the passage that the author would most likely endorse a program that _

A permitted the construction of buildings in city park land provided they have rooftop gardens

B extended discounts on plants to customers who use them to create rooftop gardens

C offered free admission to schools willing to take their students on field trips to the city park

D promised vacation getaways to cooler destinations for those trapped in the city at the peak of summer

38 According to the passage, the Urban Heat Island Effect is caused by the fact(s) that

A cities are warmer than nearby rural areas

B building materials absorb more of the sun’s heat than organic surfaces

C building materials release the sun’s heat more quickly than organic surfaces

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70

United States and Canada Five years later, a championship tournament was staged in New York City,

which was won by the Brooklyn Central YMCA

basketball was introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1904 Olympic Games in St Luis, it quickly

Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world’s universities, came from

very inauspicious and humble beginning

This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Included in the puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New Word were determined that their sons would have the same

educational opportunities that they themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college

in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was

Trang 12

in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the

site of t he present-day university

When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of

Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to

the fledgling college In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General

Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college

Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that
