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
Trang 4release 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
Question 30 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 allay, alleviate, reduce D absorb, intake, consume
Question 31 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
Question 32 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 5Question 33 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
Question 34 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 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 35 to 42
Often the craft worker’s place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement, At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters’ quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within the city of Athens itself The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration, for example, in the interplay of black and other glazes with the red surface of the fired pot Athenian black-figure and red- figure decoration, which
emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.; its distinctive color and luster were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s temperature during an extended three-stage period if firing the clayware Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other
The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to confine themselves to either decorated housewares like cooking pots and jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes Some sixth and fifth-century B.C Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand Molds were used to create particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for other products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to facilitate mass production There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means- as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify
