Part 3: Read the passage and choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D) to each question. Write your
answer (A, B, C, or D) in the corresponding numbered boxes provided.

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.

1. 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
2. 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
3. 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
D. organic surfaces absorb more of the sun’s heat than building materials.
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 do not.
D. Parks require much space while rooftop gardens do not.

5. 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
6. 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
7. 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 do 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.

Part 4: You are going to read four album reviews from a world music website. For questions 1-15,
choose from the reviews A-D. The reviews may BE CHOSEN MORE THAN ONCE. Write your
answer (A, B, C, or D) in the corresponding numbered boxes provided.

A. Watcha Clan: Diaspora Hi-Fi - A Mediterranean Caravan

The album begins with a scrambled montage of voices and Arabic strings and percussion; right
away, the listener is projected into a mix of dance floor sounds. This is fusion music, dubbed and
electroed. Watcha Clan put forward a dilemma: can diverse influences result in a harmonious whole? Or
does it just end up as a mish-mash of indistinguishable sound? They certainly add a rich variety of
flavours to the dominant rhythms.
Some people can't get enough of vocalist Sista K's unusual voice, but for others even a little is too
much. Nassim Kouti sometimes accompanies her on vocals and guitar. One of these tracks is the
haunting “Ch'ilet La'Yani”. The beginning of “Oued ElChouli” is equally tranquil and briefly
entrances before the reggae beat takes over, powered by Moroccan castanets. The song stands out on
the album because the really impressive combination of styles works so well. This doesn't always
happen on other tracks, but watching the bonus video makes you realise what this band is all about and
that they had a lot of fun making this album.

Page 8 of 12 pages
 B. Various artists: Nigeria Disco Funk Special
In the 1970s, Lagos was a creative place musically, and would be
artists flocked there from all over Africa to put their very individual
spin on imported music. The first number, an instrumental by Sahara
All Stars entitle “Take Your Soul”, is bravely funky and strikes just
the right opening note. The next outstanding track is by the talented
Johnny Haastrup, who gives a great rendition of “Greetings”. It is
hard to understand why he never really made it as a soloist, because
this piece is both harmonic and flamboyant.

Sadly, the remaining songs are not in the same league, and you may be disappointed that they lack
a truly authentic and traditional feel. Also, the material is mostly instrumental, so there are few singing
stars in evidence. But despite this, the album is well worth listening to. It's arranged in an order suitable
for clubs, which is doubtless what the artists originally intended.
C. Neco Novellas: Khu Kata
Neco Novellas is a singer-songwriter with immense talent and imposing stage presence. His new
album, “Khu Kata”, presents influences of his teenage years in Mozambique. Guest vocalist Lilian
Vieira of Zuco 103 enriches the track called “Vermelha” which is a successful mix of Brazilian samba
and Mozambican pop, while the track called “Zula Zula” really shows what Novellas can do. But with
“Phumela” things slide downhill for a while, and the lyrics of “Swile Navo” can only be described as
banal.
He returns to form with “The Train”, which is beautifully arranged and owes an obvious debt to
the Hugh Masekela songbook (“Stimela!”), but the best tracks are the uplifting “Tikona” and “0 Sol”,
which truly stand out as the blend of world/jazz fusion that this artist regularly delivers. Nonetheless,
“Khu Kata” would have been improved by more rigorous editing and slightly fewer tracks.
D. Think Of One: Camping Shaabi
Think Of One is truly unique. Over the years, this Antwerp- based group have worked and recorded
with a wide range of artists such as Afro-Brazilian percussionists and Inuit throat singers, but for this
album, they return to Moroccan themes. The Moroccan effect is apparent straight away in the
spellbinding rhythms and voices of the first track, “J'étais Jetée”. And that's just for starters - the
recording goes on to mix diverse sounds and types of music at an astounding speed.
The quality doesn't falter from one track to the next and each track is innovative in its own way.
The vintage keyboards and Balkan-style brass section are always there, laying the foundations for the
other sounds which are brought in and used around them. In a dazzling combination of Flemish,
French, Arabic and English, the band's lyrics also fascinate, some having a serious tone and others
being more frivolous, but a singable tune always surfaces.
