A exacerbate, aggravate, intensify B obliterate, destroy, annihilate C allay, alleviate, reduce D absorb, intake, consume Using the information in paragraph 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 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 A B and C B A and B C A D A, B, and C 4.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 not D Parks require much space while rooftop gardens not 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 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 not require the use of valuable urban land D are less expensive than traditional park spaces The author’s tone in the passage is best described as A descriptive B passionate C informative D argumentative 8.Which of the following pieces of information would, if true, most weaken the author's claim that rooftop gardens are good for the environment? A Parks have many benefits that rooftop gardens not share B More pollution is produced during rooftop garden construction than rooftop plants can remove from the air C Extremely high winds atop tall city buildings can severely damage some plants D The overall environmental benefits that result from driving less exceed those of planting a rooftop garden 9.Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage? A A hypothesis is stated and then analyzed B A proposal is evaluated and alternatives are explored C A viewpoint is established and then defended D A thesis is presented and then supported 10.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 IV (5pts) Read the passage and check T/ F for each statement below The Notting Hill Carnival is an annual event that has taken place since 1966 on the streets of Notting Hill in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, UK, each August and lasts three days The carnival has attracted around one million people, many in special costumes, in the past years, making it the largest street festival in Europe, and one of the biggest in the world Despite the cloudy skies, this year's carnival brought the streets to life and there was little reported crime, unlike in 2009 when there were two murders In response, the authorities had to make some changes To avoid the narrowest streets in Notting Hill, the route for the carnival was changed, more stewards were added and given better training, and finally the closing time of 9pm was strictly observed In some parts, crowds of four and five people deep lined the route to try and see the event, albeit with difficulty On apartment balconies, some residents partied, while in the street even some police got into the party spirit, dancing to all different kinds of music from samba and Reggae to Rap music All crime was not prevented though, and 56 arrests, 30 for pick-pocketing and three for robbery, were made The chairman of the Notting Hill Carnival Trust, Chris Mullard, felt that the criticism of the event had been ill-founded and wished people could see the carnival for what it was, a wonderful opportunity to project the multiculturalism that metropolitan London represents - Europe has several bigger festivals than the Notting Hill Carnival - The carnival parade did not go the same way as in previous years - Over a million people wore special costumes - Some people had difficulty seeing the parade -
